The Best Independent Living Communities in Clackamas County, OR

"We toured Portera at the Grove, and the rooms were larger than anything else we looked at. The staff there was wonderful, and there weren't any problems. They took us around and showed us everything. They were just setting up the activities back again because this Covid thing knocked everybody off. They did have different activities like quilting, and stuff like that. They used to have bowling, and now I think they're getting back into that."

"I visited King City Senior Village. I like the atmosphere. It was welcoming. The staff was very helpful. The food was very good. The room size is average. The facility was very clean. The dining area was very open and welcoming."

"Edgewood Downs is a blessing. Clean and nice facilities and rooms, great food (according to my dad- he loves the ever changing menu options!), and inclusive atmosphere. The residents are active and my dad always has multiple fellow residents with whom he shares meals, watches movies, and exercise. Joyce was especially incredible as we navigated the transition to independent living. She made it seamless, keeping up regular communication and through professional, empathetic support for me and my dad."

"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."

"I am at Cherrywood Village and I am very happy here. They keep the place spotless. The facilities are kept up very nicely. They're adding elevators right now so that we have two elevators in each one of our high-rise buildings. We practice the Fish Philosophy, which is taking care of each other. So, the staff takes care of us and we take care of them. I have a one-bedroom and it has plenty of room. Even the studio apartments are adequate. We get three meals a day and they are very good. We have a rotation every five weeks. So, the menus that we have are different for the five-week period. We're back to having excursions now every Wednesday. That includes going to the theater, to the grocery shopping two days a week, or to medical appointments on Tuesdays and Thursdays (with free transportation). We have a concierge, a theater, a beauty shop, and nail care. There's something going on all the time. There's bingo nights, all kinds of card playing all the time, and a book club."

"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."

"I've known Creekside Village Retirement for a long time. I like the manager and I like the room. There's a garden space, too. I've always liked the community and its location. There are lots of activities. I'm looking forward to the exercise classes. I'm sure there are nicer facilities there, but the others cost a whole lot more money, too, while this one is affordable for us."

"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."

"We chose Parkrose Chateau for my brother. The people there are extremely friendly. It has a very clean atmosphere and is well-kept. All the amenities met his needs and his requirements. They have a one-bedroom that has air conditioning, a living room, a kitchen, and a dining area. It does have quite a bit more closet space than some of the other ones that I've looked at. The only downfall I saw was the sink area, which was very small. The staff is very pleasant and easy to talk to. They got a library and had a pool table upstairs. There are a lot of places for games and watching TV."

"The best thing about living here is the young man at the desk. I believe his name is Tyler and he is the sweetest young man, he understands us old folks. We just love him, he always try to accommodate me to the best of his knowledge."

"My mother has moved into Bonaventure of Gresham. They have a lot of space. They have a very friendly and very helpful staff. They were able to help us move in quickly. So far, we haven't had any trouble with them. It has been very good for everybody involved. They have been able to get her to eat, which was one of the problems we were having at the previous place. I'm assuming the food must be pretty good. They have a library, common areas, crafts areas, and all sorts of stuff."

"I moved to Solista Gresham by Cogir. What I liked when we first came to see the community was there were smiling faces. Everybody was smiling, happy just to be out and about. We took the tour to see the place, and just about everybody we passed and we talked to had positive feedback. They were just cheerful, happy people. So, I chose right there to move in here. I love the one-bedroom apartment they showed me. It was just what I was looking for. I had dinner that day, but since then the food has been fantastic. The conversations with the other clients are like being a family. There's a lot of teasing and well-wishing as well as. You catch occasional hugs once in a while from people. They explained everything thoroughly to me about activities and the whole thing. It's a family atmosphere. I like that. The staff are all extremely helpful. I had trouble with my mail key, and they were right on it. I had a new key within 15-20 minutes of telling them that I couldn't open the mailbox. I had a box that was too high. My family put it too high for me to unpack. I asked a couple of the staff to help me get it down. They've been very helpful. I love that about the people that work here. They remember your name and call you by name. They're always willing to do what they have to do to make you happy."

"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."
