Assisted Living Communities in Hillsboro, OR

"I liked Prestige Senior Living Riverwood. It was quiet and closer to my daughter, so they could visit. I really enjoyed that. It was very well put together and it had the facilities that I would need if I were not independent. I don't have anything that I was dissatisfied with. They allowed all of the things that I would like to do and maybe take a kitty along with me if I can and live in one of their one-bedroom or studio apartments if I needed assisted living. The staff seemed very comfortable, knowledgeable, and helpful. I saw their menu, and I was happy enough with that. It seemed adequate for what I would need and I like the idea of having a menu so that I could choose the food because I'm diabetic. The facility was very nice and clean. The atmosphere was peace and quiet. The sizes of the rooms and the layout were adequate for me."

"My mother-in-law will move into Brookdale Oswego Springs Portland. Everyone from the front staff to the office staff to even the kitchen staff was very, very welcoming. They've been extending that hand to my mother-in-law when we went to have her see what it was like. It was wonderful. It's a small enough community that you don't feel overwhelmed with a lot of people. There are 60 rooms there, and five to six activities on the schedule every single day if you want. Everything about the place was just wonderful. Many different areas of the place have a meeting room where there are arts and crafts or singing movie night. It's a one-bedroom apartment with plenty of room. There's a courtyard all the way around the unit. In the back, there is a seating area outside, which is in a lovely forest. Inside, there is a library where they also show movies. There's a common room where they have exercises and games and all kinds of things in that room, different tastes, etc. There are several of those rooms throughout the place. Everywhere you look, you see green trees and flowers. We had a meal, and it was delicious. There were choices on the menus, so you didn't have one thing for each part of the meal. You had choices within the menu to make, depending on your taste."

"Very clean and smaller so attention to detail is more possible by the staff. It feels like home. The maintenance man is very helpful also."

"Bonaventure of Tigard was wonderful. I liked that all the rooms were big and all of them were different from each other. And also, they were beautiful. I like everything about it except that it's way too expensive. The staff members were wonderful. Everything was fabulous."

"When we first started looking for a place for my mom, we were overwhelmed and unsure of what to expect. From the moment we walked into Markham House, something felt different. The staff greeted us with warmth, took time to answer every question, and made my mom feel seen and valued. Now, a few months in, she’s made friends, joined activities, and calls it her “new home.” Watching her smile again has been everything. We’re so thankful we found Markham House."

"Oswego Place is clean with nice sized rooms for my single dad. The staff is compassionate and caring, a wonderful team. They encouraged him to join group activities to help him integrate and meet people. They managed his confusion well, successfully redirecting him when needed. It was a great place for him as he transitioned to higher care needs."

"I toured Calaroga Terrace, and I knew immediately it was not the right place for me. The person who took me around was the most vivacious and the most positive person. Debbie was wonderful. I think she was the marketing manager or the sales manager. She really was a dynamite person, but the place wasn't right for me. The sizes of the rooms were OK, but they did not have stoves. While I am 83, I still love to cook. They provide three meals a day, seven days a week. The place is older. It's a renovated hotel, but it looks tired. I wouldn't fit in there. It's the only high-rise that I toured. I noticed that there were birds that were using the windows on the ninth floor, and I wondered how often the windows got cleaned. Inside, the cleanliness was fine though. They had two libraries, a lounge on each floor, and a craft room. They had the typical amenities that almost all of these had."

"Brookdale River Valley Tualatin was a nice place. My interaction with the staff was good. The menu and the dining area were very nice. The size of the rooms was good. The parking and the common areas were very nice. I just had a good feel for that place."

"My mom has been a Sellwood Senior living for 3.5 years, The place is so bright and open with beautiful rooms. The staff has become like family to her and our entire family! Plenty of activities and outings with lovely grounds to enjoy outdoors. Lisa was the first person we met when looking for a place for mom to live, she could not have been more inviting, personable and fun! We all look so forward to seeing her everytime we come to visit! she is always up beat, and full of beautiful energy! We truly fill blessed for the experience mom and our entire family has had there. They have gone above and beyond our expectations to make my mom feel at home and loved. Thank you to all of the staff at Sellwood Senior Living!!!"

"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. "

"The thing that I noticed first off at Brookdale Newberg was how beautiful the dining room was. I imagine that the residents feel like they're eating in a five-star restaurant. There's white tablecloths and there was a two story set of windows with a beautiful view of the courtyard. It was just very elegant. They had ice cream socials, games, and a jukebox. There was a little 50s diner upstairs, and one of the residents, an elderly gentleman, was the disc jockey, and he was up there getting ready for the afternoon's entertainment. So, that was fun to see. It's a beautiful facility."

"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."

"Brookdale Rose Valley Scappoose was very nice. The food was really good. The layout was great. The rooms were very light and airy. The light was good. They were very nice. It was a little nicer than the other facility. The community was a little bit more alert as a group They had a lot of ladies that were communicating well in the cafeteria, and they seemed to be having a good time. They had a nice library, a pool table, and a puzzle room. I thought it was very nice, and in fact, I told them if Mom chooses to move, I would like her to go there. The staff was really helpful and very good. He answered all our questions. We had a lot of questions, and he was very good. The nurse was good. The kitchen staff was very nice and accommodating. Mom is very picky. We all went to lunch there, and the food was excellent. Mom said the food was cold and wasn't very good, but my sister and I both thought it was good. She had salmon and I had the chicken cordon blue. We tried to mix it up, so we had a variety to try, and it was good."

"The Courtyard at Mt.Tabor was very nice. I liked it because there was a lot of space. There were two memory care facilities there. I loved them both because there was a lot of room. Activity directors were there and working. It seemed like everybody was enjoying themselves, and they were happy, which was important to me. They looked like they were content and smiling, so they were comfortable. What I liked about this one are the colors, which were green. It looked very nice and was well-kept. I liked the way it was laid out so that the memory care patients couldn't get lost because they just went around a circle. I like the rooms. I like everything about it. Their staff was very attentive. They were all very friendly and had smiles on their faces. They seemed to be doing their job and liking it."
