I like Bonaventure of Tigard. But I didn’t choose it because it was a foster home that only fosters five residents. I thought that’s a little big for the care that my husband needed. The staff that assisted me during the visit was very pleasant, very friendly, and answered all my questions. Everything seemed to be clean and well-kept. The interior of the rooms was clean. They were empty, but for the needs that I felt that my husband needed, they were very sufficient. They also have a large bathroom.

My husband is in Annabelle Adult Care Home. He’s unable to walk or get out of bed so he could not participate in anything. The staff is very friendly when I’ve been there. They’re always willing to help if he needed help. If he needs to be changed, or if something needs to be done, they always were right in there helping him, always bringing him his food, and always providing him with nutritious drinks. The food portions are plentiful. I’ve never tasted the food myself, but it smells extremely good. In terms of value for the money, it’s pretty comparable to what the other places’ prices were. They check on him a couple of times and get changed every so often, and the food’s been provided so it’s quite expensive.

I couldn’t get my window closed this evening. It is on a busy street and has a sidewalk about 10 feet from the building. The windows were being washed today and they left the screens off. I called to the front desk and a care giver came in and tried to close my window, but she couldn’t. She called the director and the director said it would get fixed tomorrow. So now I have to sleep with a open window by a busy street and sidewalk. I am going to be 80 in December and I wouldn’t be able to do anything if someone got in. It didn’t seem to mean anything to the director. That is sort of the attitude since the new director took over. Many days the wait staff doesn’t show up and the office manager is put to work. I called another care giver and she managed to close the window, but I was instructed not to call another care giver if she didn’t get it done. I’m not suppose to be scared because it bothers other people. Thankfully the window washers put the screens back on, but it is time for me to give my 30 day notice. The staff is suppose to be taking care of us, but the system has reversed and we are suppose to make it convenient for them. They are short staffed and expect us to to be understanding when we are not being taken care of, but you know, my bill hasn’t gone down. My bill is over $6,000 a month and for that, what do I get? I have ended up doing my own laundry and I stopped having a care giver stand by while I take a shower, because I was only getting one shower a week. This is getting intolerable.

I was really impressed with the cleanliness of Brookdale Oswego Springs Portland, and the attention from the staff. Demi gave the tour and she did a really great job explaining everything, and working with us to help us understand the process. Overall, it was a really great experience. She put me at ease and made me feel like my mom would be really well taken care of there. The menu looked really good. She talked about the food as well, and explained that she really enjoys it, and they really pride themselves on having really tasty food for the residents. I got an activity schedule, and I think they had a nice wide range of activities, and some good options for my mom. I would definitely recommend them for what we have experienced so far.

We were very happy with the care my mother-in-law got at Oatfield in her last three years. She needed something comprehensible and not overwhelming and the small house setting (12 apartments per house with individual staff for each house) was perfect. We really loved the fact that she did not have to move as her needs increased. The staff simply increased the care they were giving and she stayed in her comfortable apartment. Of course the cost increased as well, but we knew this going in, so no surprises. The staff were caring dedicated people and gave her the best possible situation right up to the end. And the food was surprisingly good for this type of facility. Left us with a good feeling!

What I like is, when my mom is unable to undergo her own self-care, and then no longer assisted, she could just move right down to memory care which I thought is nice. They are remodeling right now, so they’re updating all of their décors. They got new tables and chairs. It’s looking nice. The courtyard is amazing, you feel like you’re in the woods.

My mother lived in three facilities throughout her lifetime. One in Seattle, another in Portland, and then Greenridge..
She by far enjoyed her time at Greenridge the most, which is where she eventually passed. The Tonack family could not have been more accommodating they truly treated us like a part of their family for the 6 months mom lived there. The apartments were more spacious than other communities mom lived in and had everything she needed. Mom particularly loved the activities with Cindy. Some of her favorites were balloon volleyball, the resident auctions, and wine tasting. The food was good and I know they were in the process of getting a new cook when we were leaving. It’s an older community but they truly take pride in caring for it. Sharon and her husband built the community about fifty years ago and their family has run it ever since.
We felt very lucky to have heard about Greenridge from a friend and highly recommend you consider Greenridge.

MorningStar Assisted Living & Memory Care of Beaverton was nice. I probably would have had a higher rating for it if I hadn’t seen the other place. It’s not quite up to the standards as the other place. We ate there and the food was very good. The one problem I had with MorningStar is that I felt like the people were overselling and I think it ended up turning my brother off. They had us meet first in a room and asked a lot of questions and then had us go to lunch by ourselves while they went off. It was just a little too hardcore sales. The rooms were very nice. They had a refrigerator and a microwave, but not the full size. They had walking paths close by, but not a lot outdoor. They had activities. They had some common areas and a movie theater area and it was nice.

The staff are very kind, helpful and incredibly patient.
There is very little provided in the way of support for non Jewish residents, or any explanation of various rituals and commemorations, including any interpretation from Yiddish.
Food portions are generous, more than most residents can eat. Food waste is appalling–probably at least half of food served is thrown away.
Vegetables are routinely undercooked, rendering them inedible for those with few teeth or inability to chop them into small pieces.
Food served is nutritious and varied but often not prepared with elderly or chew-challenged residents in mind.
Smaller servings more appropriately cooked would no doubt be well appreciated and beneficial to resident health.
Waiting time for meals can be long; some soft background music would improve the atmosphere.
If there was a way for any resident who wished to share their stories (weekly flyer etc) camaraderie could be built, to everyone’s benefit.

I liked that Hearthstone At Murrayhill was just two miles away from where my son’s family lives. The bedrooms were much larger, which meant that this was the only place that could accommodate my 10 ft quilting machine.
They let me talk to the residents, ask my questions to them, and had a meal. Of all of the places I visited, they presented themselves well. They were able to accommodate this huge sewing machine that I have. It was just an added plus for me. The other thing was they offered to take me to my church, and that was kind of a plus too.
The person who toured me was very informative. He was new on the job there, but he was good and engaging. He made arrangements for me to talk to the residents, and he was sensitive to my needs, my likes, and dislikes. They also they changed up their menu frequently enough to help avoid having to eat the same thing every day. It was a friendly and accommodating place.
