Assisted Living Communities in Talent, OR

"We toured Weatherly Inn. We really liked it. It was nice. It's just that the rooms were just too small. The upkeep was nice. The staff was very cordial and professional. The food was great."

"Pear Valley Senior Living is brand new. It's so beautiful. I would like to move in there myself. Everything is very tastefully decorated and top-of-the-line. Everything is new in the rooms."

"I toured Lakeland Senior Living. It was nice and clean. In the apartment, I didn't get a chance to go in and walk around or anything. Just kind of view from the door, other people were occupying them, but they seemed nice. They were small but nice. The staff was pleasant and informative. They answered all my questions."

"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."

"My husband stayed in Rogue Valley Manor for rehab. It was a very nice facility. It was homey. The staff was very caring and attentive. They offered everything. They had a social director come around and ask about his interests and kind of interview him as to what he would be interested in. They would bring ice cream carts around make sundaes and give ice cream to the residents. They did a lot when he was up there. He did quite a bit. They had a rec room where they could just go and relax, and view the scenery because it's way up on a hill and they can see out over the valley. It had puzzles out for the people. They had a little plant cart there with plants growing in it for those who wanted to do that sort of thing. The dining area was very nice and the food was very good quality."

"My mom was in both independent and assisted living. I can't say enough about the care, kindness, and love they gave Mom. Everyone was so helpful! Both her rooms felt like home. I can't say enough about the homelike atmosphere. They truly treated Mom with such dignity and love. She felt like they were all part of her family!"

"I loved the apartments at The Springs at Veranda Park. I also liked the courtyard and the facilities. It's very modern. The staff was very friendly and very nice. The dining area was very attractive and very nice. The food we had was very good. They had a salon, library, and exercise area."

"My sister has moved into Bartlett House of Medford. She's thrilled. She's happy. I'm quite sure just from the atmosphere it is so good, and sitting back and watching the residents and the staff. She loves coffee every morning. They bring a cup of coffee into her room first thing in the morning. I would recommend Bartlett House in just the short time I've been there over any of those other facilities that I went through and just toured. I'm thrilled to death where she is right now. It's fantastic. It's a memory locked down facility. Her overall experience was joy. After one day she was absolutely thrilled because of how well they were always trying to take care of her. "What do you need?" "Do you need this?" She told me how good the food was. She said, "I'd be fine just dying here now." Her apartment is just one room. She's got a twin bed and a lift chair in it, and a spacious bathroom, but it's just the toilet and sink. They have Jacuzzis in the unit and the showers. She has a TV in her room, and she's got a very pretty window. Right outside is a beautiful tree. We're going to put some hummingbird feeders out in that tree for her. It's just a pleasant atmosphere. It's got a carpeted floor and the closet. She's still getting used to everything, but my understanding is they have movie nights and puzzles. My sister loves word search books, and I know they have different activities daily there. They allow service dogs to come in and visit the residents. I thought that was very nice."

"The rooms at Avamere at Waterford are a nice size with two closets. They have a shower in their bathroom. The people seemed to be nice. They have a swimming pool, and it looks like a nice place. It was very clean."

"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."

"We toured Fountain Plaza, and we chose it because of the facility itself and its pricing. The rooms were very nice and spacious. The staff was very friendly. The food was good. The facility was very clean. It was older, but it was kept up very well. They have a patio, walking areas, exercise rooms, and a parking area."
