Assisted Living Communities in Forest Grove, OR

"Markham House had friendly and knowledgeable staff but was too small a community for our purposes. It was a very nice facility, and the folks looked happy and well cared for."

"The cottages at Emeritus were really nice. It's just that the arrangement of the windows in some of the rooms didn't work out well with my furniture, and I would have had to drive everywhere when I wanted to see people and do things. I liked their cottages, especially since they had oversized garages, which would have been nice for extra storage. "

"My dad is at Emeritus at River Valley. What I like best about it is the fact that they have a memory care facility. The place is very nice and very clean. It is on a beautifully landscaped piece of property. It is well-staffed. It is right next door to a major hospital. There are only about six residents in the memory care unit. They are locked down, so they really don't have a lot of activities going on for them. Regarding food, I have been there at meal times and it looks like good food. My dad seems to clean his plate, so I guess it's good enough. The dining area is more cafeteria-style with large round tables so they can sit together. They get placemats and silverware at meal times, but the rest of the time the tables are cleared of and that's just for the safety of the residents primarily. "

"We really felt welcomed when we first went, and they have been very, very helpful, helping us get everything done for my mother-in-law to be able to move in there. It is a smaller place; it may not be as big as some of the newer ones, but it is a very homey and comfortable feeling and I think it would be a good fit for her. The last time that we were over there, some of the residents were actually baking with someone helping them, and at another time, they were listening to a radio program. They have tables around where they can work on puzzles and they have sitting areas where they can sit together, and they do. They did have a lot of good things going, and every week they take a country drive if any of the residents would want to go. They also plan special events every once in a while -- like go out to lunch or stuff like that -- that the residents are able to sign up for. Their memory care part is kind of small and it is understandable because they don't have many people there, but it would be nicer if the outdoor area had some greenery to it, like maybe some grass and a little more outside scenery."

"Beautiful place came to visit and loved how clean the facility is. Also the food is great. Thank you"

"When my loved one admitted to the Evergreen Inn she had a serious anxiety disorder. The staff welcomed her and accepted her as part of the community. She quickly fit in and joined the community outings and activities. As my loved one declined it was reassuring to see how the staff's care and compassion made moving out less frightening. "

"I toured Sellwood Senior Living. It's a lock-in facility. The staff was nice and seemed very informative. The rooms were nice and clean, and the dining area looked okay."

"We fell in love with the apartment at Fircrest Senior Living. It's beautiful and had a balcony that overlooked the airport of McMinnville. The manager was absolutely fabulous, very friendly, open, led us around, and wants us there. We can take our dog, which is important. They showed me a two-bedroom, but my dad is moving into a studio this coming weekend. They offered three meals a day and had transportation to shopping, doctors, and planned outings. It's the best price for a beautiful, brand-new apartment. The kitchen was all done in stainless steel."

"Mom is at MorningStar at Laurelhurst. It is very clean. Most of the caregivers are very caring and loving. They enjoy what they do and care for the residents. There were a few issues at the beginning, but things are better now. No place is perfect. I was given a couple of opportunities to have a meal there, and the food is always very fresh because the memory care patients are always served first. It's nutritious and they have a really good chef. There's a good variety. There are a lot of coloring activities (they have adult coloring books). They also play music and then have movies after dinner. They have other activities that I noticed on the board, like going for a walk and trivia things, but Mom's not interested in any of that stuff. She's very picky. She's always just sitting there, totally bored."

"It is a very good fit for my mother. The food is great. We just had a little bit of difficulty with the care and socializing at first, but now that she's getting acquainted, we've made it perfectly clear that we didn't want her sitting in her room all the time. They would bring her food to her and we didn't like that. It's a beautiful and clean place. They have craft, exercises, and outings. I'm really impressed with how they decorate for the holidays and how they put flowers and tablecloths on the table and they have beautiful arrangements in the entryway. I love their 50s room where you can have gatherings with other family members. The servers work hard and make sure that everything is taken care of."

"Clearwater is clean, bright, open, and inviting. The people were friendly and couldn’t be more helpful. Food was good except for having assigned seating and the feeding times were set. The rooms were almost like a hotel room. It had a single bed, a small kitchenette area, and an attached bathroom. "

"Homewood Heights was clean and had really nice staff, and I really liked the setup of the rooms. "

"A Place To Call Home IV Andresen Rd is an adult foster home. My wife has only been here a couple of weeks. We are waiting to get set up for physical therapy, so right now, they're just taking care of her meals, showers, and whatever else she needs. I come almost every day to see her. The owner of this place has four of these. I went and visited three of the four and these are very nice homes, much better than I've seen anywhere else. The staff is very friendly. The girl that's here almost all the time, Violet, does a good job of taking care of my wife. Cleanliness is excellent. They do several things. They have entertainers that come in and they've got somebody for yoga that comes in and musicians, much better than you would see anywhere else probably."
