Memory Care Communities in Gresham, OR

"I visited the assisted living. It was a good tour. They have very nice staff, very clean area, and the place was bright and open. It looked like a nice place, I wish they had an opening. They had all sorts of planned activities. There's a girl there doing some crafts, they have a big community room, they have a little bit of everything I think. The person who gave the tour was great, but she didn't show us the memory care. The facilities were very nice, clean, bright and welcoming. The dining room was basically just an open room, and they had a serving bar. It was like a kitchen with an island, though much bigger, and they were serving from there."

"I visit the facility almost every day, and I’ve seen firsthand how every member of the team genuinely cares. Communication with families is excellent—whether it’s regular updates or addressing concerns, the administrator makes sure to keep me informed about my mom’s care, which gives me great peace of mind. We are incredibly grateful to have found Hazelwood Enhanced Memory Care – it’s more than just a care facility; it’s a community where residents are truly valued. Highly recommended to any family seeking compassionate memory care for their loved one."

"I moved to the Courtyard at Mt.Tabor in Portland. I'm staying in their independent living community. It feels very homey, and the staff is very willing to be interrupted and asked for help. It's a big place, and you could kind of get lost. I find the food very good. They're very generous and very tasty. They have things that I enjoy, like soups and casseroles and things like that. It's very clean, well-managed, and the gardens are beautiful. I have dogs, and walking is very nice. They are on 11 acres of land, so it's like you can go almost anywhere you want. You can see things you haven't seen before or go and smell the roses, or whatever it is that is important for you. The people that I talk to are also happy with it. There was an old movie that I loved called Grand Hotel, and when you walk into the lobby, it's like you're walking into the Grand Hotel. It's silly, but it made a difference for me. They also have a lot of activities. If you did everything that was on the list, you'd be busy from the time you woke up to the time that you went to bed."

"L&s Adult Care Home has a new owner who runs the facility. Her name is Sarah and she was very good. The home was clean. It was old and it's a smaller home care for five adults and interestingly, it was a home for women. So for my mom, that would be fine, and I can understand where that also might be an advantage. The staff was very nice and very helpful with entertaining questions. It's a house that is run by a woman and her husband, and they are parents to one nine-month-old child and a two-year-old, and they live at the facility. So, if you're an older person and you enjoy being around kids and family, which seems to be quite pleasant, that would be awesome. You would have a built-in grandchild to interact with once in a while and nothing can help brighten our day sometimes, but having a little bit of time to maybe play together with the child. For those who don't want the occasional interruption of children or the inevitable times when the kids are tired and upset and need attention from their parents, it might create an environment where there's a little more competition for your caregivers' time. I don't think that overall, it's a negative, I think it's positive that they're a small little family, but it's the kind of thing that could be a risk and the one thing we know with kids growing up is that their needs continuously change. So, it might be something that could get better, because the kids are learning to live with older adults as well, or it may have times when it's not so optimal."

"The Quarry Assisted Living was very nice but expensive. It was clean, professional, and had a lot to offer. As a matter of fact, I am on a waitlist. They had a pool, exercise equipment, a theater, card rooms, and a coffee shop. The food is very good. The room is large and well appointed. It's really very nice. They had all kinds of activities, like people coming in to entertain once a week and trips. The staff was very helpful, professional, and easy to please. "

"I went to The Hampton & The Ashley Inn. The dining looked good. The activities sounded really good. There's an activity director, so the people have a lot of different things to do. It's a big place with lots of different places for the residents to go, not just be in the same room all the time. For people who like that, that'd be good. The menu looked amazing and they had different dining rooms for various levels. If people needed extra help, there was a separate dining room set up for them. For people that didn't need help, they have one that was more like a normal dining room experience. The person who gave me the tour was really nice and very knowledgeable. The facility was very good. The problem is they have double occupancy rooms. The facility is also too big in a way that people could be lost there. If someone gets lost a lot, they might do better in a smaller place. There was a couple like yelling at each other, so that was a bit disturbing. It didn't have that sense of being cozy and the fact that they make you share a room is not great. It's kind of expensive to have to share a room with someone. The facility was really good aside from the double occupancy thing and it's not designed very well for people with memory problems, like hallways and stuff that people can get lost in."

"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."

"A Place To Call Home IV Andresen Rd is an adult foster home. My wife has only been here a couple of weeks. We are waiting to get set up for physical therapy, so right now, they're just taking care of her meals, showers, and whatever else she needs. I come almost every day to see her. The owner of this place has four of these. I went and visited three of the four and these are very nice homes, much better than I've seen anywhere else. The staff is very friendly. The girl that's here almost all the time, Violet, does a good job of taking care of my wife. Cleanliness is excellent. They do several things. They have entertainers that come in and they've got somebody for yoga that comes in and musicians, much better than you would see anywhere else probably."

"Excellent Facility. The nurses and care-staff are top notch!"

"The reasons we chose this community is because it had two-bedroom apartments available and it is more spacious than other facilities we saw. We liked everything we saw and fell in love with the place. It is beautiful with wide halls, a dining area, buffet, and bistro. The apartment we chose is a two-bedroom with lots of windows and a good size for us. There are so many activities to do at the facility. "

"We liked McLoughlin Place because to us, it was family friendly, and it was a very nice place. They have two separate units for the memory care, and then they have two floors in the main building for assisted living. They have some one-bedrooms, but my husband is in a room with another gentlemen; it has two beds in it. They have a menu for the assisted living, but for the memory care they've already got the menu planned out; you don't have a choice or anything. They do have activities. In the morning, they have exercising for the people, they have TV they can watch, they have music on TV, they play Bingo or different games, or put puzzles together, which they do twice a day. They have a day for the pets to come twice a month, I think it is, and they also have people that come with instrument to sing or whatever. "

"We toured Cogir of Vancouver. We liked that it was more of a community instead of a facility. The room was amazing. It was pretty. It was extremely clean. It was set up well. My in-laws fell in love with it. They like the idea that they can stay -- do a license so they can do memory care in their apartment until they get to a certain level. So it was nice that they could stay in their apartment as long as they can. They do have a washer and dryer in the bathroom, and they have a walk-in shower. They have a dishwasher, a refrigerator, a stove, and a microwave - - a full kitchen. The staff was good, he was very knowledgeable about it. He's very passionate about his job, so that was nice. He was very passionate about them feeling like they still have their independence. So he was excellent. We did not try to have the food, but he was very honest about it and was very upfront that one of the dishes was not up to par today. And we like the fact that it's anytime dining, so if they want breakfast for dinner, they can have breakfast for dinner. They do have a nice courtyard. They have water fountains throughout the courtyard, they have little garden boxes throughout the courtyard. They do have a balcony, so the second and third floor or even the bottom floor has a little balcony. They can put a little balcony or patio chair out there. They want to move in there as soon as possible."

"When I got there at A Place To Call Home 117th Circle, they didn't have any openings, so that didn't work. It's very nice. It's a real country setting. It's on a big piece of land. The outside is probably nicer than the one that I'm at right now, but that doesn't matter to me, because my wife doesn't go out. The staff was very friendly. It's high-end and very nice. It has a regular dining room. They get the people up to eat at the table. It's just a nice place. The courtyard was nice. it's out in the country, so they have a nice view."
