Assisted Living Communities in Portland, OR

"My mom went to look. They're really sweet people there. It's a really, really good place. Their facility was really great, but it seemed to be more for people that really needed assisted living more than what my mom needs. It also didn't have what she wanted. It was too inconvenient for her; it was too chaotic. Like she has to take an elevator to different floors, and that really bothers her. They're just so super people. It's very clean and very beautiful."

"My grandmother was so well cared for and loved by the Bortes family. We were always so pleased with our visits with the family and their sweet children, we are comforted knowing she was genuinely happy during the final months of her life. "

"I liked Arcadia Senior Living. I was greeted by two people right off and there were people in the lobby, so the residents were moving around. They showed me the amenities as far as where the dining room was and the availability to go outside, like patios. I liked it because of the location. The person during the tour was kind of in training and she was very informative. She did most of the talking to prove that she's learning her job. I didn't have any unanswered questions. The other woman, the regular employee, stayed with us, so everything was confirmed as far as the cost and just what would be available. They offer the necklace or the call button thing that you wear. They showed everything in the room where one could get assistance if needed. It seemed newer, so everything was in good working order. The outside was very clean, had a nice parking lot, everything around there was level, and no stairs or steps to climb up. It was well maintained. Everything was accessible. My mother could get around well there. I didn't realize Arcadia was here at this location. You see this big apartment building before you see the Arcadia. I thought that made it kinda safe, kind of out of sight a little bit. I felt that was a safe place. I didn't see much staff there, but there wasn't any need to see them. The facility was attractive."

"My mother lived at Summerplace for 5 years. I wouldn't recommend anyone else. Summerplace has turn over like all residential care. If you can't handle new smiling faces, then you should probably move in your loved one, in your own home. The food is good, some meals better than others. My mother's favorite was lunch. A new chef was hired a few months before my mother passes, I was very impressed with his cooking. I can't imagine cooking for 80 to 100 people. My mother received great care and respect. The long term staff are real gems. I can not say how thankful I am to the staff that have stuck thru the rough muck in the past 5 years with my family. I would highly recommend Summerplace to all."

"Markham House is a very lovely place. It has nice landscaping, it's pleasant inside, and the people seem very happy. It's half a mile from where we live. We had lunch there and the food was excellent. They don't just serve lunch, but you can order off of a menu. My husband is gluten intolerant, and so he has to be really careful with what he eats. But he knows enough about it by now after 35 years. The staff we're in touch with were very nice. We know one of the nurses there personally for years. But everybody seems very pleasant, nice and cooperative, and helpful as far as answering questions. We asked for an apartment. The reason we haven't moved in yet is because there were no apartments and they only had a studio. There was nothing available at that time. So we're waiting for an opening. "

"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."

"I liked The Hampton & The Ashley Inn. Everybody was nice. The marketing director was very nice, very informative, and gave us a tour. I liked it. The facility was very clean and organized. It didn't have a bad smell. There were nice outdoor areas, and it was very secure. They seem to have a lot of activities and things to keep the residents busy. It was relatively small, which was good. It was not tiny, but it wasn't huge either. I would love to have my dad go there. They talked about having an October fest and a little carnival that was inside so that residents could go around to these different booths and do things. They have a music room and a TV room."

"L&s Adult Care Home has a new owner who runs the facility. Her name is Sarah and she was very good. The home was clean. It was old and it's a smaller home care for five adults and interestingly, it was a home for women. So for my mom, that would be fine, and I can understand where that also might be an advantage. The staff was very nice and very helpful with entertaining questions. It's a house that is run by a woman and her husband, and they are parents to one nine-month-old child and a two-year-old, and they live at the facility. So, if you're an older person and you enjoy being around kids and family, which seems to be quite pleasant, that would be awesome. You would have a built-in grandchild to interact with once in a while and nothing can help brighten our day sometimes, but having a little bit of time to maybe play together with the child. For those who don't want the occasional interruption of children or the inevitable times when the kids are tired and upset and need attention from their parents, it might create an environment where there's a little more competition for your caregivers' time. I don't think that overall, it's a negative, I think it's positive that they're a small little family, but it's the kind of thing that could be a risk and the one thing we know with kids growing up is that their needs continuously change. So, it might be something that could get better, because the kids are learning to live with older adults as well, or it may have times when it's not so optimal."

"My disabled Mom had maggots and flies in her room, so needless to say the housekeeping is non existent. They find a way to blame the resident for all of the staff's shortcomings. "

"I toured Brookdale Oswego Springs in Portland for my mom. It was great, but it was a little far out. The grounds weren't quite big enough for my mom; she wanted to be able to walk around a lot more. The thing that I like the most was the food there was good, and the people looked very lively. There were a lot of nice-looking people. They looked like they were happy, and they were active. It felt like a nice clean place. The thing I like the least was the rooms were kind of dark and small, but they had some big rooms there. They didn't have any outdoor patio spaces for a resident to go out. It's assisted living, so that doesn't surprise me. I tried to explain that to my mom that it was highly unlikely she would find a place where she would be able to get a patio like she has now. They feel like a good place, but for me they were a little bit too far, a little too out of the way, and a little too small in the sense that we wouldn't be able to walk around in it. I think someone had a bathroom accident at one point in the space because there was a little bit of an odor; but it's assisted living, so that happens. The whole place smelled clean; it's just that one little section, and they obviously had to start cleaning it up. The location was a little bit out of the way, and a little bit small, but it was really nice there. It wasn't quite what I was hoping for, but it was pretty nice."

"My stepfather is at Trustwell Living at Evergreen Place. It's not a big place, which is a plus because I don't want him to get lost being in a bigger facility. They can have their small pets with them, and it's a secure building. They get quite a few choices for their meals. They fill out a form the day before on their choices. Overall, I think he enjoys it there. His room is nice. I got him a queen-sized bed that he can lift the top and the bottom. He's got a recliner in there, a TV, a mini kitchen, and a nice-sized bathroom with a walk-in shower. It's a good-sized room for him. They have a movie room and an outdoor patio. They can do their activities and exercises in the dining room or another room next to the dining room. They go on a bus tour. They'll go and have casino nights and have dinner there. When I first moved him in, I was very happy and he was doing good. And then they started changing staff. And so, I was constantly having to remind them of things and going over his medication. They were hiring younger people and they just didn't seem to be as attentive to their patients. But then they brought back a couple of the ones that were there at the very beginning. And so now, things seem to go back to the way they were."

"My 92 year old mother moved into Homewood Heights July 6th. She had lived in her private home for over 67 years and alone for the last 11 years. This was a huge change for her. But Melody, Nancy, Sharon and the entire staff, kitchen, care givers and maintenance have been wonderful in making her feel welcome and cared for. She has met many of the other residents who are fun and seem anxious to get to know her. My mother has an eating difficulty and Ricio, the head chef, has wonderfully accommodated this and she is now eating more and gaining back her strength. Thank you all HOMEWOOD HEIGHTS. "

"I thought Prestige Senior Living Beaverton Hills was excellent. It seemed like a nice place like it was set up well. The person who assisted me was very knowledgeable and very helpful. Unfortunately, there wasn't anything going on when we were there. They had lectures and physical activities. They had things structured to stimulate residents cognitively like they had game shows that they put on, which I thought was cute. They are adjacent to a park where they've created a wheelchair-accessible path, which I thought was great. It's a nice place."
