Assisted Living Communities in Talent, OR

"I went here a couple of years ago. It's a nice facility. It's small, that's wonderful and it's located close to me. So that would be my choice. I don't want to travel far to be of assistance to my mom if that's needed. So that's kind of why I'm stuck here until I get an answer from them, then I may have to look at others. The facility was clean, and the lady that we talked to was very informative. The rooms were nice. We visited with one of the people that lived there. The facility itself is small, which might be appealing to people. She's in a retirement home with like 300 people. She'd like a little, smaller place, so it would be great for someone who likes a smaller facility."

"I would recommend Northridge Center. I like everything about it; the rooms, food, the way they kept the rooms, the way they kept it closed, and all of this. She had nothing to do except what she wanted to do. Unfortunately, it was on the highway there, and in the later stages she is going out the door and across the street. Send anyone that wants to be in a nice quiet facility as everything you would ever want there. They could have as much oversight as they want. They had games, they went to places, they went out to the stores, church, and they have people come in for entertainment. "

"When I toured Clarita Cordizar Adult Foster Home, it was clutter free and it smelled good, like she was cooking something for dinner. I saw a spacious bedroom with an attached bathroom. I met Claire, the lady who owns it, and she was very friendly and knowledgeable. It's a house. Compared to the other one I saw, it had nicer views out of the windows. I could see the trees in the neighborhood and even far enough out to see the hillsides of Ashland."

"I really liked Rogue Valley Manor, but I couldn't afford it. It's wonderful, elegant, and the food was good. Every room had a view, because it's a skyrise apartment building. However, there wasn't much variety of rooms, unlike other places. You set them up for yourself when you go in, and it's not affordable for me. I can't come up with the money to do the remodeling that is required. I was able to try the food, and it was wonderful. They have a chef that uses local vegetables. They have a variety of activities, like you can imagine. They've got a swimming pool, bocce ball, and bowling onsite. "

"The price at Anna Maria Creekside was beyond what my budget allows, but the place and the food were good. The staff are also nice. "

"The rooms that I saw at Veranda Park were spacious with high ceilings. It was well maintained, and the building materials were of good quality. The apartment itself looked into a courtyard. The surrounding valley was beautiful. It’s well furnished, and the laundry room had more space than any of the laundry rooms I’ve seen at the other places. It’s very spacious and there was natural light, so it was well lit. There werre plenty of rooms for people to move around inside with their laundry or their walkers. There were also places for the residents to sit down. The library was big and had many books in it to enjoy. They had a salon that was nice, too. We will be moving Mom in. "

"My aunt just moved in a few days ago. I'm so impressed. I worked in the home health field for 9 years. The management, nursing and staff are exceptional. Thanks for taking such good care of our loved one. We feel she is loved and safe there."

"I went to Avamere at Waterford. That was where I was going to go, but they denied me due to me being a medical problem for them, even though I was trying for independent living. They were foreseeing a future where they might have to take care of me, and they didn't want to. However, I like the staff, the caregivers, the director, the assistant director, and the front desk. Most of the staff are very friendly and very nice. My best friend gets treated very well over there. They're very caring from what I can see what my best friend is getting here. The food I've tried is good, but I've seen some of the stuff my friend eats, and it doesn't look that appetizing. They have a very loaded activity calendar, and they have a pool and two little gyms, and that's really good amenities to have."

"With The Orchards Assisted Living, it wasn't a very pleasant visit. The second I walked in, the two people at the front desk, I told them that we were there for a tour, and they stood there fighting about who was going to take us on a tour. They were fighting like, 'I'm not doing it.' 'No, I'm not doing it.' 'I already did one today, so I'm not doing it.' It was just like they were fighting, and my mom and I were just standing there waiting for somebody to take us on a tour. It wasn't very pleasant. The facility was nice. There wasn't an issue with the facility. It was mainly just the staffing. One of the managers ended up taking us on a tour, and every time I tried to ask her a question about something that was going on or just trying to get more information about the facility, she was like, 'Oh, I don't know. You would have to talk to somebody else.' It was really bad. I also noticed like even when we were doing the tours, the lady was very interactive with the residents. We were kind of walking right past them. For amenities, they don't have a beauty salon, but they have a huge room that has everything in it. It has a bookshelf with some books on it, and it has a TV with some couches. They don't have like an individual library or anything like that. They just have a little bookshelf with some books on it.

"My wife moved into Pacific Living Centers of Medford at Brookhurst. It has been a very positive experience, so far. It is a small population with adequate staff, but they maintain a family environment. They have been very helpful in the transition phase of moving my wife there. The food they serve is adequate and very good."

"Fountain Plaza has a positive and friendly environment. It is also inviting and seems well maintained even though the furnishings are not brand new. I like the layout of the building. In the back of the facility there was a place where the residents could have their own little gardens where they could plant. "

"The reasons why I choose Weatherly Inn are the community relation person, the tour I took, and the friendliness of all the people there. I had lunch there and they're just amazing. They are so nice and so helpful. The one meal I had there was absolutely delicious. They have a very vast alternative menu if you don't like what the daily meal is. There's a ton of other options you can choose from. They have a wide variety of activities. Every Wednesday there's outings. They have different specific activities at what they call the Popular Cafe. Like on Tuesdays it's ice cream socials, and on Wednesdays it's Happy Hour or whatever. They do a lot of different things for the residents, and they have movie nights almost every night."

"I visited Laurel Pines this last week to consider admitting my father, whom I brought with me and is a Marine veteran of 8 years. This was not an easy thing for me to do considering how independent he has been throughout his life. We had an encounter with a young man who worked there, with a good deal of facial hair and a blue smock. As I wheeled my father up to the door we bumped into him and began to have a talk about the facility and what it has to offer, as my father has suffered from a stroke this last year he can't speak well and tried his best to join in the conversation the best he could. This seemed to be quite funny to the young man and after a heated exchange we left very quickly. I can't begin to express my disgust and concern that all of Laurel Pines employees are like the man we encountered. Sincearly Peter B "

"A Country Home is a smaller home. It's out in the country. There are only 5 women there, and that's the basic thing. They don't have a lot of clientele in there. The women who are there are pretty much permanent residents. They're very caring people. I was referred to them by another caregiver. The food is excellent. They do different things with the ones who are able. They do a couple of field trips. In my sister's physical condition, I think it's a good place for her. "
