Independent Living Communities in Albany, OR

"I just moved here to Heron Pointe. I like the little cottage that I am in. I got my own kitchen, two bedrooms, a fridge, dishwasher, microwave, and everything. You can get three meals a day and house cleaning twice a week. Everything you want is here. We do barbecues, bingos, and quite a few activities. The food is good. The staff are good people. They do what they need to do."

"The Bonaventure of Salem was very nice and very clean. We sounded a buzzer off, and we had three people helping us instantly, so that was very nice. The security system is very good there. The staff members were very nice. We talked to one lady, and she was the one who took us to memory care and the assisted living, and she was very good. They had an outdoor space. The memory care is under lock and key, so to go out into it, they have to have a code. Somebody couldn't just walk out. It was very nice. It had plants in it, and it was very good. They had a theater that was wonderful. We enjoyed it."

"Holiday Hidden Lakes is a great place. Dad loves it there. We were there last night and had dinner with him, which is always amazing food, amazing people, and an amazing place. It's clean and it smells wonderful. Everyone there is top-notch. They always call him by name. They always take good care of him. They did talk to us last night about his wandering a little bit, so we had a group meeting with the hospitality director, and she was able to discuss what wandering looks like and how we could help him do that differently and that was wonderful. They are on top of everything and they are good. My feedback on them would be nothing but the best. He got his own apartment. It's a five-star place, without a doubt. Their staff is amazing. Everyone there has been more than kind, friendly, inviting, and extremely welcoming for someone who's never been there. We just felt at home. There are fireplaces burning on every floor. There are high ceilings and a ton of light. You can see the lake from all the windows. It is warm and beautiful. I love how they do the food. When we come to the dining room to gather, they are immediately bringing out soups and salads which are fresh and delicious. I have licked my plate every time I've been there. The dressings are fresh. The salads are fresh. It's like fine dining. It's all done with fine linens, crystal plates, or glass. Everything's not cheap. What was impressive was that after they came out and did the soup and salad, they gave you plenty of time to visit at least 10 to 15 minutes and then they brought out the main course. The portions are wonderful. We're always stuffed when we're done and it's always impressive in how it smells and tastes and is presented. It's presented like a restaurant. Then they come around with the dessert cart. For example, last night we had three choices of cake. We had carrot cake, chocolate cake, and vanilla cake, all freshly baked and beautiful. There was a cookie rack on the top with every kind of cookie you would want, coconut cookies, oatmeal cookies, all freshly baked and warm and beautiful. They had an ice cream tray. Dad wanted carrot cake and strawberry ice cream and a cookie, and they just gladly served him up everything he asked for, just everything off the cart. I've seen people change their mind and they smile and give them something else and tell them to keep that as well because they don't put the food back, but they're happy to get them more, whatever they need. I've seen people come in late and they go and get them caught up on soups and salads. You can come in during the times of 8:00 to 9:00, 12:00 to 1:00, or 5:00 to 6:00. We arrived yesterday at 5:20 and they quickly caught us up and got us all served. Their staff is fast and quick. Everything is quality. It is a lot of money. However, it is well worth the value for what you are getting. There is an activity schedule on every table when you come into the dining room, as well as a menu with many choices. They have residents' choice and staff's choice. There's always a sandwich available, whether it's fresh pastrami or turkey or whatever you choose. I haven't seen anything quite so fantastic, but the activities are daily. They are making Chex Mix with them, baking cookies with them, having comedians come, and having Elvis impersonators. There isn't a single day that there are no activities. They have board games and ice cream socials. They've already had two mixers and Dad's gone to all of them. Dad is legally blind and last night, he's sitting with a group of people with magnifying glasses and there are lights. The staff has taught them how to do this. Just in nine days, he's playing cards again. He's believing in himself because he's with a community of people who are believing in themselves to do really hard things. We're proud of him. He's laughing and giggling. He's come back to life. He told us he wouldn't want to live anywhere else in the whole world and he told us that on day six. He's on day nine now and he has made a name for himself. Every day at 2:00, they play bean bag baseball. He used to sit on the couch all day before going, and now I can't even get him on the phone. I can't reach him because he is upstairs and downstairs. He's on the third floor and he's playing games, doing a mixer, and learning to bake cookies. He has found at least a dozen different people who he said sit and talk with him. They share stories. They talk about the losses and the lives that they've lived. We have been over there every other day and instead we're watching him bloom. We're watching him come to life. We're watching him live. It's the opposite of leaving and abandoning him. We were letting him grow. We couldn't be happier. This place was perfect in every single way."

"We found Solista Salem by Cogir. It has all the amenities that we need, and it's cheaper than that other place where we were. We moved in last week. It's a fantastic place to be. We're independent living right now, but they have it set up so that if I need help to get my husband off the floor and stuff like that, they will come and help us. We have three meals a day. It's a much bigger place than the other one. The staff is very helpful. They're very senior-oriented. They have all kinds of things going on for the seniors. It's such a nice place. We have seen deer and squirrels. They say around Thanksgiving, there's a turkey that's wandering around here. It's closer to the hospitals, to the doctors, and everything. The staff members are really good and friendly. I dealt with the maintenance man a couple of times because I couldn't get the dishwasher going. He came right up, fixed it, and got it all going and everything for me, so that's nice. The housekeeper is Carly, and she is great, too. It's very clean. It's got a nice, clean dining room. We haven't gotten up there yet to eat, but of all the ones I looked at, this is the best. They have sock hops, bingo, and all kinds of activities going on. They have a little garden that people can work in. It's $2000 cheaper than the other place. It's in our budget, so it makes it very nice."

"We were impressed with Bonaventure at Keizer Station. It looks very nice. It's very well laid out. The room was nice, bright and open. There was plenty of room, and we were very impressed with it. The appliances were there; it was fully outfitted. The staff who gave the tour was very knowledgeable and very concerned about our desires. She answered all of our questions. One of the rooms we looked at was under renovation, but it looked like they were doing a very good job."

"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."

"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."

"Stoneybrook Assisted Living is very nice and very attractive. They have very nice staff. My wife is there now. It's like a nice hotel. The staff are very friendly. They're in a COVID lockdown now, so they take the meals to the room. They have a lovely dining room they can't use right now, but the food there was very good. They have the standard games that you would expect. There are a few field trips. There's a beauty salon but no pool. The room is OK. My wife doesn't have a separate bedroom, but it's L-shaped, and there's a place where the bed is kind of out of the way, and there's a nice living area and a little kitchen 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."

"My brother-in-law moved in. So far, they're doing an excellent job taking care of him. He needs assistance with everything. I've never eaten there, but it always smells good when I'm there. They have entertainment that comes in."

"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."

"The tour I had with Marian Estates that was very thorough. There's lots of opportunities to do different activities, if you desire. They are very friendly people and very gracious. I like that they had availability because it was kind of hard to find something available. I also like the location because my son lives out in that area, so I am familiar with it. I like the overall environment of the Marian Estates. They had a nice little cottage, and it was very clean. They are in the process of painting it right now, so it will be ready for me to move in. There's meals available if you want. You can either go to the dining room or you can order a meal and have them bring it to you. There's lots of areas for walking and exercise as well. I have a dog, so I like that idea. There's a lot of activities you can do if you want to or don't want to. I only met one person who gave the tour, and she was very pleasant. She showed me all around. All the lawns were well landscaped, and there wasn't any garbage or junk lying around it. It was a nice place."
