The Best Continuing Care Retirement Communities Communities in Benton County, OR

"Mennonite Village's location would have been ideal for us, that's what we liked the best about the place. What we liked the least was they don't offer 1-bedrooms to anybody unless they already currently live in the facility. So my dad wouldn't have been able to be on the waiting list to get a 1-bedroom, and that kind of eliminated the place in his mind. Other than that, it's a nice place and they had a beautiful garden area. The people seemed very nice, and the staff who gave the tour was very nice, helpful, and knowledgeable. They had everything everybody else had, including an extensive garden area so that people could do gardening if they wanted to. And because it's located with two other sections like duplexes and whatnot, there's a bigger area for people to maneuver around. They're not just locked to a building. The facility seemed very nice when we went in. It's in a residential neighborhood kind of area."

"Boone Ridge just opened up. It was too expensive, and they had a lot of glitches they needed to work out. The bathroom door, and the bedroom door clashed, so you couldn't open one without the other one opening, and they fired the chef at the end of the first week. The dining area was beautiful, very upscale. They have wine tastings, a movie theater, a special area where they teach you how to cook, they have laundry facilities on each floor, in the corners they have pool tables, visiting areas, TVs, a big exercise area, a courtyard, and they're going to put a swimming pool in. They have one- and two-bedroom places. Nothing is separated, everything's in the building, and it's like a big hotel. Everybody I talked to was upbeat, happy, and wanted me to move in right away. The dining area was great. You can sit down and order food from 8:00 a.m. all the way to 8:00 p.m."

"Marian Estates is very friendly and very quiet. The staff is very friendly and very helpful. The food is all made from scratch; it's very good. They have care for all levels. They have independent living, assisted living, memory care, and physical rehabilitation. They have activities like exercise classes, memory classes, bingo, and all kinds of socials. My parents are independent right now, and I feel very lucky to have them there."
