Memory Care Communities in Albany, OR

"Mom was a resident for about 1 year at Willamette Springs. We never had a doubt that she was well cared for and loved. When she ended up in Hospice, W.S. took her back and stepped up to the plate! They went beyond our expectations in taking care of her during her last weeks. We have only praise for the excellent administration, medical staff, and care givers that took care of our mom. Thank you for making her last year with us very "stress free" knowing she was in good hands. With Kind Regards, Maureen and Family"

"What I like best about Briden Kinder Care is that it's well-kept and they have friendly staff. What I like least is that their driveways is really steep. We did not taste the food, but the food smelled good. The facility was very nice. The rooms were good. They're adequate or better. When I stepped in it felt warm and homey."

"My husband was at Brookstone Alzheimer's Special Care Center. I love that he had a good roommate and they're very careful about pairing people. They've also had a very good ratio of men to women, it's almost half and half, which is kind of unusual. The community relations person was really good. The staff helped him with showering, bathing, meals, and activities. I've seen that they had a barber shop, a shower room, there's a TV room where they have the meals, and there's a general area where everyone is gathering. I thought the value for money was pretty good."

"We toured Brookdale Salem for my mom. It was very clean, and they were very friendly. The staff who accommodated me was very friendly, she was very helpful, and she gave us a lot of information. My father-in-law and my mother both have dementia. The room looked like a bedroom you might have at home. It didn't look like a hospital room or a nursing home. It looked like an actual bedroom in somebody's home. Because of COVID, we couldn't see the dining room, but they had just cleaned it in between meals. It was all sanitized and they were very, very thorough about their sanitization. It looked like a little village when you walked through the door. They had an ice-cream place and little stores. Nobody was around because of COVID, but we did go into one of the TV rooms, and there were people sitting in there watching TV together. It looked like a living room."

"My wife will be moving into Windsong Memory Care at Eola Hills. I liked their philosophy, and I liked the people there. Everybody was friendly and engaging. There seemed to be a lot of staff, and they were friendly and knowledgeable. The rooms were small but nice. The atmosphere was pleasant. The dining area was adequate. They use the Montessori technique for keeping the residents engaged, and I think that's great. I saw a couple of their activities and everybody was engaged. There was one where there were knocking balloons around and another one where they were doing bingo."

"Cedar Village was undergoing management change and I thought it was deteriorating. However, they had activities director and they do bingo. They had a bus that takes people out. They had concerts for the people that live there. "

"It is totally accommodating, perfectly clean, and beautiful. The food is wonderful and the staff is excellent. I have been there almost every day to visit my friend and we love it. I couldn't be more impressed. My friend's room has huge windows and high ceilings."

"I like Battle Creek Memory Care. I like the way it was set up. Of the three in Salem, that would probably be my first choice. The staff was very friendly and seemed knowledgeable about the facility. They have outdoor areas. One of the things I liked about them is that they had it divided into what they called neighborhoods. They had a smaller number of people in a given area and then they tried to keep staff assigned to the specific areas, so it gave it a smaller, more personal feel to it."

"They do a Wonderful job caring for my Mom , she has improved being there and is happy "

"Mom is at Premiere Care Home. They have very nice rooms and the staff was nice as well. My only main concern about the place is that they provide nothing in a way of stimulation for my mom, and I don’t like that at all. They just put her sitting in front of the TV, or sitting in a wheelchair in front of the TV. The only meal I've seen was homemade macaroni and cheese and I would really like to see some new things. "

"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."

"Both my father and mother have lived in this wonderful place, my father in memory care and my mother in assisted living. The care they both received was loving, gracious, respectful, and kind. They truly love their residence. I have also been impressed with the amount of staffing they have on any given shift--when a cord is pulled for assistance, they are there within a minute or two. I don't know how they have done it but they have hired people who offer love and help to their residents and as a daughter, I could not ask for more. I feel blessed to have had both of my parents at Boone Ridge. (as a side note--food is always hard--we have seen this in every place we have visited--Boone Ridge's food is comparable to others. So that washes this out in my book. Again, it is the true love they have shown my parents that shines."
