Independent Living Communities in Forest Grove, OR

"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."

"What a Great community! Very homey and warm. Residents are smiling and going about their business with friends. Staff is Friendly and very helpful. The community is clean and inviting. I plan on visiting more often!"

"We looked at Solista Newberg by Cogir and that's probably the best one. We like the rooms, and the people seemed to enjoy living there. It seemed like it was well-maintained. The staff who gave the tour was helpful."

"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."

"Bonaventure of Tigard was wonderful. I liked that all the rooms were big and all of them were different from each other. And also, they were beautiful. I like everything about it except that it's way too expensive. The staff members were wonderful. Everything was fabulous."

"Brookdale Rose Valley Scappoose was very nice. The food was really good. The layout was great. The rooms were very light and airy. The light was good. They were very nice. It was a little nicer than the other facility. The community was a little bit more alert as a group They had a lot of ladies that were communicating well in the cafeteria, and they seemed to be having a good time. They had a nice library, a pool table, and a puzzle room. I thought it was very nice, and in fact, I told them if Mom chooses to move, I would like her to go there. The staff was really helpful and very good. He answered all our questions. We had a lot of questions, and he was very good. The nurse was good. The kitchen staff was very nice and accommodating. Mom is very picky. We all went to lunch there, and the food was excellent. Mom said the food was cold and wasn't very good, but my sister and I both thought it was good. She had salmon and I had the chicken cordon blue. We tried to mix it up, so we had a variety to try, and it was good."

"The thing that I really noticed about Brookdale McMinnville Town Center is the vibrancy of the social programs, and how the residents were out in the hallways together socializing, choosing to be together. That was encouraging. I noticed that there were lots of community spaces and places for people to come together. There was an exercise room and places to play games. They had several dining rooms, even one that you could reserve for birthday parties and bring your family to share a meal with you. We saw a one-bedroom and a two-bedroom room. They were spacious and had nice views. There was a big picture window in the living room, and because you're either on the second or third floor, you have a beautiful bird's eye view of McMinnville, which is a pretty town. It was an older building, so it wasn't as beautiful as the other one we saw, but I still thought it was clean."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"It was a very nice place. It's new, wide open, and very bright. They have a nice facility and a good size room. The staff was excellent. The dining area was bright and open. It was just very pleasant."

"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 like Solista Milwaukie by Cogir the best. I liked it because I liked the environment, I liked the people, and it was the most affordable one if I had to move right now. It's independent living, and then if you need additional care, they have a company that they hire people to come in. I love the location, the environment, the people, the affordability, and the things they offer as part of living there. It is relatively close to McLoughlin Boulevard and other places that I could walk to and shop at if I were able to. It offers a bus to get to whatever things you need to, including medical appointments. Meals are included; they are not extra like at some places. I did not eat there. It wasn't mealtime at that time, but they welcomed me to come back any time. They've sent me emails inviting me to events, but I don't have a car, and I'm not close enough to attend any of those. I saw the dining area, though, and I loved the overall size of it. It wasn't huge, and it wasn't tiny. I just had nothing I didn't like about this place."
