Assisted Living Communities in Pendleton, OR

"McKay Creek Estates has a very pleasant appearance from the outside. When you go in, you're greeted by a smiling staff member. During the holidays, they always have the dining hall and walkways to the residents rooms, decorated beautifully. The residents are always happy and smiling, as well. The resident rooms are nice and spacious, giving every resident a beautiful view outside. Many residents have their very own mini-garden on their patios. The cook makes the most delicious meals, the residents always tell us about what they had for lunch and how good it was. She is always friendly, and leaves us a plate of cookies to share with the residents when we have finished ministering to them. This is our favorite place to stop and we usually save it for last, so we can stay and chat with everybody for as long as they want us to. I highly recommend this facility. This is by far the best choice. We are looking forward to our next visit, and I'm sure the residents are as well. "

"My Mother was there for a short term stay while my husband and I went for a vacation. I was nervous about leaving her. I could tell she didn't want me to go. I kept in touch, and after a couple of days, she was not even taking my calls, she was so busy. She loved it. And that put me at ease. They even took her to Wildhorse Casino. She doesn't gamble, but liked going to the buffet. We did end up taking her home, for a while. But, she ended up going back about 2 months later. The staff were very warm and welcoming, and the people at her table were great at making her feel welcomed. It was clean and most of the meals were good. Not home cooking, but good. "

"I went to Cascade Valley. My mom is kind of on the bubble of assisted living and memory care, especially a month ago. She's improved since then. Cascade was sort of my second choice because it had both services. It also offered a full vegetarian menu. It was a very nice facility. I went into both facilities. It seemed nice. The only reason why I didn't choose it is that it was a little bit farther away. I could only see my mother if she came out to the lobby, and we talked there or outside. The staff was very helpful and has followed up several times with me, emailed me, and called me. I would have put my mother there, but it just wasn't quite the right fit at the time. It is on my list for maybe the next step. I looked at studio apartments. In an assisted living and memory care, there's a lot more things offered. I can put my mother there and walk away. I can't do that at the other place because I have to be very involved in her care. It's full service. It's a beautiful facility and very clean. It seemed very active, especially in the memory care section. They were involving the residents in some sort of activity when I was there. I don't exactly know what they were doing, but it seemed very active. I can't really rate the food, but one of the reasons why it is on my list is because of the food though. Without knowing what happens after a person moved in, I really can't rate the food."
