Emeritus at Park Place

I visited this facility

I will admit that I have very limited experience with this particular provider as I was only there for a visit, however what I saw in my two hour visit was very impressive. The staff was attentive, caring, and respectful of the independence they were able to offer. I never once saw an area that needed extra attention, as it seemed as though the entire place was very well organized. My only feedback about areas to improve would be parking in the area for visitors, however this is more of a Portland thing, rather than a Park Place thing.

Park Place is one of the few facilities I see where the staff go out of there way to respect each residents individuality, personal values, and beliefs, they will go above and beyond to ensure that each residents needs are met and respected. I really appreciate that they are sensitive to all religions, convictions, and such and will not tolerate any disrespect when it comes to each resident's personal beliefs and principles.

The staff member are very friendly, always encouraging the residents to maintain as much independence as possible, but at the same time frequently reminding the residents that they are close by if assistance is needed.

There are many friendships among the residents and they all seem to live well together. The staff and residents are both amazing in assisting a new resident in adapting to and feeling comfortable in the facility.

I would absolutely recommend that people take the time to learn more about the facility.

The entire staff and each of the residents of Park Place have been welcoming and friendly. I have full peace of mind that relocating mom from California to the Portland area to be nearer family has been the best decision. She was made to feel at home from the first moment she entered the facility. The staff took extra steps to make her apartment a perfect setting, even before the arrival of her own furniture. The friendly service has been above and beyond. I look forward to the many years we will count the people of Park Place as extended family.

Seems great so far - moved my mother (Carol) into Park Place today. Natasha, Blair and Lana are personable and helpful, our greeter, Beverly, was wonderful and the dinner was great tonight. Thank you all. Updates as we go.

I visited this facility

At first when I walked in, I thought the set up was a little awkward, and the residents were all very quiet. After introducing myself as a student group member from a local university interested in Gerontology the residents warmed up. I felt that Park Place was clean and nothing looked dingy, however I did notice a slight odor of ammonia in the air which is very shocking when first visiting. The staff were welcoming and warm however they also interacted with residents on an "as needed" basis. I thought their old school diner was actually wonderful for residents, they seemed to enjoy having a non-traditional cafeteria as a gathering place. All in all I enjoyed my tour of park place however I would not recommend one of my own family members to this facility as I feel their standard for quality could be improved upon.
