Assisted Living Communities in Bend, OR

"My tour in Brookdale Redmond was limited only because my legs were bothering me that day and I couldn't walk that much, but I'd been there before, one other time, a couple of years ago, so I was kind of familiar with the way it was laid out and ran. It was all fives. I felt very comfortable and welcomed. No stress, no unusual noises or congestion. Joe was excellent. The dining area was roomy. There's plenty of room between tables, but it wasn't so huge that it was intimidating. It was comfortable. It's a well-run facility. It's very clean and quiet. I didn't have any complaints about anything. Nothing bothered me. The residents were just doing their normal coming and going and moving around. Many of them were like me, handicapped and needing walkers and wheelchairs and what have you. I'm 82, and it seemed to me most of the people were my age or older. They seemed comfortable and enjoyed their environment."

"We liked the area where it is. They have the activities that I like, and they have a hair salon. The staff has been very helpful and they have everything that we would need."

"My dad has moved into Regency Village at Prineville. It seems fine, but I think there could be some improvement on the food. Sometimes it's not real chewable for him; sometimes the meat is really tough. The place is really nice, and his room is really clean and nice. The have a studio and a one-bedroom apartment. I think they do bingo and some other board games exercises two or three times a week, and bingo two or three times a week; they have other stuff. They have an upstairs room that is really nice that looks out over the city. The have a hairstylist, and a big dining room that everybody sets up. The people are really, really nice there. I think the price is pretty comparable to what everybody is. The food does affect the overall. This isn't the first time he's been around; he's been in three. When they don't have people that address senior lifestyles of eating, I think it affects them. When my dad lived with me, I cooked for him, and I think that that does have an effect. I think they could have some improvement in the kitchen, but I almost think every one of them needs improvement in the kitchen."

"Everything we have experienced so far has been good at Bend Villa. The staff is helpful. She has got a 2-bedrooom unit with a living area, a very small kitchen, and a nice bathroom. It’s homey. The food is very good, and they’ve got quite a few activities like arts and crafts, movies, cards, and happy hour once in a while. The location is good, and the fact that mom has had friends that have stayed there before is good. "

"Awbrey Place Assisted Living and Memory Care was a fantastic place. It was clean and bright. The people were friendly, and they had nice accommodations in the private rooms. They were appropriately sized with easy access, and very clean and bright. The staff who toured me around was friendly and knowledgeable. We did see the dining area and the menu options for the day, and everything looked well done. They had secured outdoor spaces that they encouraged their residents to go to."

"Mom's been at Ashley Manor for about two months now. I like that it is a smaller facility. I know they have some private and semi-private rooms; they are not really a good size, though. They don't really have any activities there. They have an activity board, but they never do any of the activities. They have a great living room. Most of the staff has been very helpful. Just like in any place, there are a few people you like the best, but overall they have been good. They cook all the food in their own kitchen, so I am pleased with the meals overall. I'd say they are well-balanced. I think that they can improve by hiring more staff. I think their staff has too much to do to really engage the clients in very meaningful activities. They are working very hard, but they are busy just taking care of the basics. They really don't have a lot of enrichment. "

"Had my Dad in another facility. We chose this home, via word of mouth from a friend who has their own Dad here. We could not be happier! A nice home with good accomodations. The provider and staff are very knowledgeable and know what they are doing. Provider and staff always encourage various activities for the Residents to enjoy. The cooking is simply off the charts! Natural Organic, from scratch cooked meals to suit each residents likes. As far as cost(s) go, very reasonable, compared to what's out there. Especially for the level of compassionate care given!"

"My wife's parent's are owner's in the river lodge, and are extremely happy and satisfied with touchmark. It's like living at a 5 star resort. Food at the restaurant is excellent, and all other facilities are like wise. "

"I visited Brookside Place. I just showed up one day, and they spent some time with me. The facility wasn't too big, and it was all on one level, so there were no stairs or elevators that you had to use, and I liked that. It seemed adequate. The staff who assisted me were very nice and very thorough about things. They had a small library, and there was room outside to walk around that was safe and private. I'm sure it's an old facility, but it's very well-kept, clean, and quiet, so it was nice."

"Ashley Manor - Rimrock appears clean and well organized. It's a little small, but that's what they were looking for for my stepmom, so that's what we chose. The service has been fine. We do have one issue that's going on, but they are trying to address that for us. I've seen the residents do coloring sheets. Some of the residents enjoy it and some of them don't."

"My mother-in-law is in Juniper Springs Senior Living. It's excellent. The staff is excellent and professional. If my mom would go to an assisted living place, I definitely would send her there. I have never tried their food. I just heard excellent things about their food. They have everything from assisted living to memory care and it's all really incredible. They have some independent living as well from my understanding. They have all kinds of activities. I've never been on their activities, but I've seen them. The activities director seems to definitely know what the elderly want. In comparison to the other places, they're definitely an excellent facility."

"Care is very good. They respond very quickly. The facility is always clean. The caregivers are always smiling and friendly and give excellent service. The administrators give personal attention and are always available. "
