"We toured Heron Pointe Senior Living. We liked everything about it, except that we couldn't afford it right away. They had a two-bedroom, two-bathroom ready for us to move into, but we couldn't swing the payment right then, and I did not want to go into one because it was for both of us. The facility was very nice and clean. We were going to get a cottage that was outside, and we liked it. It was in a small town, and we're used to small towns, so we liked that part too. The person who assisted us has called us once a year since we went in there to see if we were ready to go in or if they could help us."

"I thought Hidden Lakes was just beautiful. The landscaping is fantastic. It has a beautiful, big lake that you can walk around and nice paths that are convenient. Three times around the lake is a mile, which is good to know when you're trying to keep active. It's also a Holiday, so they play all the same games and have the same type of food. Their food was excellent, and I really like that. And because my dog barks non-stop when I leave her alone in a room, the manager allowed me to take her into the dining room because she is a service dog. The staff is very pleasant, as are all of the Holiday places. Everybody went out of their way to make you feel at home and comfortable. I like the beauty of the place itself, the lake, and the masses of rhododendrons were just very lovely. "

"My parents moved into here. They really like it there. My mom likes the trail, and she likes to walk in the building. The staff is extremely nice and helpful, and they're always visiting with them and helping them out. The food is pretty good, and it's a nice place, close to everything, and also close to us. The staff members who help the people with food, and the maintenance people have very exceptional service. My parents seem to be very happy there. My mom has gone to the Sunday services, they have a couple of exercise things upstairs, and they have both used the treadmill and liked it. It's a newer facility, and the location is nice."

"When searching the Eugene area for the medical care I needed after my stay at the local hospital here in Eugene, I felt blessed to have had the patience to have finally found the Junction City Retirement Community. I have lived here well over one year now. During the first interview when meeting with the main office staff in charge for the function of this corporate building, I have learned that not only do they help create the enjoyable comfort for seniors here but they also communicate and exhibit good ideas to working together with their employees and establish the nicest home away from home possible. for the residence living here. There is a bus used twice a week every week for road trips made for doctor appointments that are needed and for shopping. Within the building there are many functions that are organized for the people living here too. Some seniors enjoy board games like puzzles, monopoly and more, There's bowling, Cooking class, Drawing and painting, a class for exercise, there is always a togetherness in the main living room that is set aside for meeting each other. To name a few there are church services., there's watching online television on a large screen, there's following the games of Trivia, there's Utube and more.. There are many things here. All workers are highly committed to insure the comfort and wellness for the seniors they care for and who need assisted living for their recovery, like in my circumstance for being here. The doctors requirements of the medications ordered for my return to health have been handled and delivered to me daily with all manners of respect and care to my needs. The staffs professional knowledge for the care of each senior here is without doubt positively and certainly a wonderful place for recovery and offer the feeling of being home. During my two operations, my stay here has been truly remarkable. All staff members are wonderful and all have the accountability to insure the wellness of the many residence who live here. The Junction City Retirement and Assisted Living Community is truly the nicest environment one could hope for in finding their medical and inspirational needs for wellness. All workers here are well organized and accountable to their words spoken. I am very happy to recover here."

"My mom is in Mennonite Village right now. It seems to be an upbeat, positive place. The rooms are really small. It would be nice if they had their phone system so that the occupants could call long distance out from there. They said they have to have a calling card, but when the person is 95, it’s hard to make contact sometimes. "

"As a private, in home elder care provider, sometimes a client of mine reaches a point in their life when part time care will no longer fit their needs, and assisted living is the best option. I've worked for several individuals and couples living in the Stony Brook independent living community in Corvallis, Oregon. The homes and grounds are manicured and absolutely lovely. There is an active social network, opportunities for both private and public transportation, and facilities ready and able to cater to the changing levels of care needed by aging residents. Stony Brook offers one of the nicest assisted care facilities I have ever seen, not only is the standard of physical care very high but the amenities offered are amazing. Residents who have moved into the assisted care lodge can enjoy chef prepared meals in a restaurant setting, a private library of regular, audio and large print books that are constantly rotated through Benton County's library system, a fully staffed beauty salon and barber shop in house, and a community bus (fully handicapped equipped) to chauffer them to both on and off campus activities. This is the short list. The staff is friendly and attentive while still giving residents a sense of dignity and privacy. When a resident moves up to a more monitored level of care they do so seamlessly to make the transition comfortable for both the resident and their families. I've visited several of my former clients who have transitioned to the assisted care facility and every one of them seems content and as well attended as they were under my own care. For me, that is very important. You can't help but develop an emotional relationship with people you have cared for. Knowing they continue to be happy and content well into the last of their golden years is priceless. "

"We went over to Boone Ridge for dinner. It's an independent facility, which was built a couple of years ago, and they had most of the modern amenities. They had assisted and memory care as well. We went to the second floor where they had an entertainment area and a television lounge where they show movies. They had a chef, a choux chef, and a pastry chef. The food was very sumptuous and restaurant quality. It's an excellent facility."

"My wife moved in, the people are extremely nice, they're very assistive, the rooms are really nice, and everything is great so far. My wife is in assisted living. They have different activities every day. They have multiple choices for each meal, and the food is very good."

"I moved to the Ridge at Madrona Hills last May. The apartment is very nice and very clean. The food is OK, and I went to blackjack once. The environment is nice, and they take good care of things; if there's something you need, they get right on it. The staff is great."

"Marian Estates is very nice and well set up. Everything is included in my rent like all the meals, laundry, and housekeeping. I'm only a couple of miles from my oldest son, and it's a beautiful setting here. The food is very good. It's a restaurant, so there's no set mealtime. It's open from 7 in the morning until 7 at night. You can go in anytime and order anything you want. There are a lot of activities like card games, crossword puzzles, Scrabble, sing-alongs, and church services. I'm in a studio apartment, but it's very large and comfortable. It has got a huge bathroom with a roll-in shower so I can just take my walker right in and sit on a pull-down bench. It's very comfortable for me. "

"My sister was a resident of Marian Estates. She was in rehab, assisted living, and skilled nursing while she was there, and then she was in independent living. They provided the care she needed at each one. She was in a house that was independent living, and was in two different apartments, the Sloper, it's called. The others were assisted living and skilled nursing; she was in a room in each of those, and they took care of her. In Sloper, I think it's all independent living; they have nice apartments, they are newer ones. Part of the other ones is older apartments that they have that are in that one big building. But they have quite a few other apartment duplex types, and then they have a group of just duplexes that are independent living. They also have a large building that's memory care. My sister was very sick while she was there, part of the time. So, part of the time she liked the food, and part of the time she didn't. I had a few meals in the Sloper cafeteria, and it was good. They offered exercise sessions, and they had a library. My sister wasn't able to take part in activities very much at that time."

"I moved into Salem Housing Authority for low income. It's wonderful. It is very, very clean, and they offer activities for the seniors. They have a community room that you can put your name in to have for your family. They have a backyard patio off of that community room with barbecues and stuff, so you can have family and friends over. They have a garden out in the yard. There are a lot of amenities like that, and it's just wonderful. The staff is extremely helpful. It's for independent living, so they do not have a kitchen staff. I have a full one-bedroom and it's huge. The kitchenette is big and the living room is big. The bedroom is huge. The bathroom is all handicap accessible and it's very large. There's so much storage. They have a full pantry and storage closet by the kitchen and another big storage area in the bathroom. They have a potluck coming up. They have morning coffee where they have get-togethers in the community room. Everybody is so friendly. This place would be wonderful for anybody that's low income and can't afford all the big high rise, fancy places. The only thing they don't have, are meals. There must be four or five different companies that are stopping out here and picking up people to take them, whether it's appointments or shopping."
