Hi toots3932:

The best way to find nursing homes in a particular city is to use one
of the excellent "yellow pages"-like websites.

I went to the SuperPages site (www.superpages.com) and searched for
"Nursing & Life Care Homes" in Wilsonville, OR. They resulting page
listed 8 businesses:

http://yp111.superpages.com/listings.phtml?CID=8051AB26796&AL=&C=nursing+%26+life+care+homes&T=wilsonville&PG=L&STYPE=S&R=N&S=OR&NA=&PM=0099000b&LC=8&PI=1&MC=1&CB=&PP=

Of those 8 listings, only 3 are actual businesses *in Wilsonville*.
I've done a little sleuthing, and I think the best bets for finding
your friend are in the following order:

Windfield Village 
Wilsonville, OR 97070 
(503) 682-0653 

Avamere Health Systems 
25117 Southwest Parkway Avenue, Wilsonville, OR 97070 
(503) 570-3405 

PCA Computran 
9140 SW Pioneer Ct, Ste F, Wilsonville, OR 97070 
(503) 685-9888 

What to do next? I would suggest calling these listed places -
starting at the top. Hopefully, they will allow you to request whether
a certain person is a client or not. If not, I suggest sending mail to
your friend at Windfield Village. (As an aside, we Researchers are not
allowed to list private information about individuals, so *I* can't
make these calls for you.)

I hope that this information has been of help in your search.
         
If you need any clarification of the information I have provided,
please ask using the Clarification feature and provide me with
additional details as to what you are looking for. As well, please
allow me to provide you with clarification(s) *before* you rate this
answer.
              
Thank you.

According to CMS (The Federal Government Who Licenses Nursing Homes). 
There are no Nursing Homes within Wilsonville, OR.  In fact 2 out of the 3
listed are either computer or service related companies and not nursing homes. 
The 3rd listed is an assisted living, not qualified as a nursing home.

There are however, 10 nursing homes available in Washington County (Where
Wilsonville is located), and another 10 available in Clackamas County, and
can be found by using the CMS's nursing home compare site  medicare.gov.
