The Best Assisted Living Communities in Washington County, OR

"I liked Prestige Senior Living Riverwood. It was quiet and closer to my daughter, so they could visit. I really enjoyed that. It was very well put together and it had the facilities that I would need if I were not independent. I don't have anything that I was dissatisfied with. They allowed all of the things that I would like to do and maybe take a kitty along with me if I can and live in one of their one-bedroom or studio apartments if I needed assisted living. The staff seemed very comfortable, knowledgeable, and helpful. I saw their menu, and I was happy enough with that. It seemed adequate for what I would need and I like the idea of having a menu so that I could choose the food because I'm diabetic. The facility was very nice and clean. The atmosphere was peace and quiet. The sizes of the rooms and the layout were adequate for me."

"When we first started looking for a place for my mom, we were overwhelmed and unsure of what to expect. From the moment we walked into Markham House, something felt different. The staff greeted us with warmth, took time to answer every question, and made my mom feel seen and valued. Now, a few months in, she’s made friends, joined activities, and calls it her “new home.” Watching her smile again has been everything. We’re so thankful we found Markham House."

"Very clean and smaller so attention to detail is more possible by the staff. It feels like home. The maintenance man is very helpful also."

"Oswego Place is clean with nice sized rooms for my single dad. The staff is compassionate and caring, a wonderful team. They encouraged him to join group activities to help him integrate and meet people. They managed his confusion well, successfully redirecting him when needed. It was a great place for him as he transitioned to higher care needs."

"Brookdale River Valley Tualatin was a nice place. My interaction with the staff was good. The menu and the dining area were very nice. The size of the rooms was good. The parking and the common areas were very nice. I just had a good feel for that place."

"I toured Calaroga Terrace, and I knew immediately it was not the right place for me. The person who took me around was the most vivacious and the most positive person. Debbie was wonderful. I think she was the marketing manager or the sales manager. She really was a dynamite person, but the place wasn't right for me. The sizes of the rooms were OK, but they did not have stoves. While I am 83, I still love to cook. They provide three meals a day, seven days a week. The place is older. It's a renovated hotel, but it looks tired. I wouldn't fit in there. It's the only high-rise that I toured. I noticed that there were birds that were using the windows on the ninth floor, and I wondered how often the windows got cleaned. Inside, the cleanliness was fine though. They had two libraries, a lounge on each floor, and a craft room. They had the typical amenities that almost all of these had."

"When we went to Brookdale Forest Grove, we both looked at each other and said, "Yes, this is the one." because there were people around. People were talking to each other. The other places we went to had no people. The staff was very good. They were very friendly and they weren't in a hurry. They were willing to talk to us. I've eaten there twice, and both times, I was very satisfied with the food. It was a very good meal. The place was very well-kept and clean. I didn't smell anything unusual. The room my husband is getting is a little large for him, but he's on a waitlist for a smaller room. The rooms are nice."

"My daughter-in-law will move into Sellwood Senior Living. I was impressed at how bright and cheerful the facility was. The staff was very friendly. Any time a staff member passed my daughter-in-law they would greet her and introduce themselves. They invited us back for lunch. The meal was really good. The studio apartment that she will likely be in is nice and roomy, and it just hit me as a very nice facility. I was able to taste their food. The gal told me that they don't use salt, they use just spices. And it wasn't spicy to the taste, but it was very flavorful. The facility was very clean. It looks like it had been upkept. The residents were coming and going because it's in the downtown area type thing, and they seemed very lively. I encountered one other person and I asked her how she liked living there, and she said she really enjoyed it, that they were welcoming. I just got a good feeling."

"Mom is at MorningStar at Laurelhurst. It is very clean. Most of the caregivers are very caring and loving. They enjoy what they do and care for the residents. There were a few issues at the beginning, but things are better now. No place is perfect. I was given a couple of opportunities to have a meal there, and the food is always very fresh because the memory care patients are always served first. It's nutritious and they have a really good chef. There's a good variety. There are a lot of coloring activities (they have adult coloring books). They also play music and then have movies after dinner. They have other activities that I noticed on the board, like going for a walk and trivia things, but Mom's not interested in any of that stuff. She's very picky. She's always just sitting there, totally bored."

"The Courtyard at Mt.Tabor was very nice. I liked it because there was a lot of space. There were two memory care facilities there. I loved them both because there was a lot of room. Activity directors were there and working. It seemed like everybody was enjoying themselves, and they were happy, which was important to me. They looked like they were content and smiling, so they were comfortable. What I liked about this one are the colors, which were green. It looked very nice and was well-kept. I liked the way it was laid out so that the memory care patients couldn't get lost because they just went around a circle. I like the rooms. I like everything about it. Their staff was very attentive. They were all very friendly and had smiles on their faces. They seemed to be doing their job and liking it."

"The thing that I noticed first off at Brookdale Newberg was how beautiful the dining room was. I imagine that the residents feel like they're eating in a five-star restaurant. There's white tablecloths and there was a two story set of windows with a beautiful view of the courtyard. It was just very elegant. They had ice cream socials, games, and a jukebox. There was a little 50s diner upstairs, and one of the residents, an elderly gentleman, was the disc jockey, and he was up there getting ready for the afternoon's entertainment. So, that was fun to see. It's a beautiful facility."

"When my loved one admitted to the Evergreen Inn she had a serious anxiety disorder. The staff welcomed her and accepted her as part of the community. She quickly fit in and joined the community outings and activities. As my loved one declined it was reassuring to see how the staff's care and compassion made moving out less frightening. "

"Brookdale Wilsonville was nice. When you walk in, it's very open and friendly. The staff there was really good. I liked the rooms better, just the layout and the design of them. Everyone was super friendly when you first walked in. The people that were living there were very friendly. They had a garden area, which was a little farther away and that's the only thing. For most residents, it's a little jaunt across the parking lot to get to it, but other than that, it was good. They had a nice dining room, a good TV/movie space, a lot of people out doing games and playing cards and stuff in a lot of the areas, so it was nice. They had a nice fireplace, a piano, a library, and a reading room."
