Assisted Living Communities in Astoria, OR

"My dad will be moving into here. We like it because it is pretty much on one level, and everybody seems to be really nice and caring. We got to view all the types of rooms that they had. The rooms have refrigerator, microwave, and cable TV. That's pretty much it, but you need to bring your own TV, and your own furniture. The staff who gave me a tour did a very good job. My dad has tried the food there, he said it was OK."

"It looked good. We went into the main area and the restaurant area and everything were clean. There were a few people around, the day that we went to see it, so we talked to a couple of them and they seemed happy there. We looked at mainly independent living and saw their 2-bedroom cottages, then they also took us through their assisted living. During the tour, I talked to the activity planner and the manager and they were very pleasant and very informative. I also saw 3 or 4 of their staff working with other people. I was happy with it. From the outside, it looked nice, and when we went into the apartment, it was also a nice 1-bedroom apartment. When we went into the 2-bedroom apartment on the independent living side, we were sold on that. It's just a little condensed for me. I drove by some other places where the facility is spread out all over but this one is more of a condensed area. I liked what they showed me though. I liked the people, even the staff standing around pleasantly saying hello and asking if we are being helped. I watched them with some patients in wheelchairs and they were very, very courteous to them and helped them out."

"Clatsop Care Retirement Village is very nice. The tour was very good. The staff spent a lot of time and showed me several different options (in other words, the sizes of the apartments that I might choose between). The community is very nice. I think it's one of the newer ones. I don't recall how long it's been there, but it is very nice and nicely kept. The one who took me on a tour spent a lot of time with me and answered all my questions. She did a very good job. I didn't try their food, but they gave me a menu thing that they have for what days and different things like that. I didn't eat there or anything, but it looked like everybody there was happy with it. The upkeep and cleanliness were very good. I liked it."

"My sister has moved to the Healing Hands Foster Care Home in Warrenton. They're very caring people and excellent caregivers. She's very comfortable there, and the food is very good. They have a patio outside of the house that she goes to. They just take really good care of her, and she's happy there. They're just very good people, very caring. They're like a family, and just overall is a nice place. We also have good communication with them."

"My grandmother had been at Suzanne Elise for a year and a half. My overall experience with them was really great. It is a newer facility. I had eaten the food there, and it was really good. The price was right, the rooms were spacious, they had more active people there, and they had volunteers that come and go. The people were really nice. It was a beautiful area. They had all kinds of transportation. It was a very senior-friendly community, so it was really easy to integrate into the community. Overall the things that stand out to me were that this community was very clean, and they really took care of their residents. "

"I visited Necanicum Village in hopes of placing my aunt. The grounds were beautiful, the building was nice and clean. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly. My family was greeted by everyone we passed by, residents included. We felt that when it is time to place my aunt, it will definitely be Necanicum Village! "
