Memory Care Communities in Gresham, OR

"I've visited Sapphire at Firwood Gardens. The people were really friendly, the place was nice and clean, and the building itself was not rundown. The only thing I didn't like was that where my dad would have been there, he'd have to take an elevator and would have to go all the way outside to smoke. So that wasn't a fit for him. The staff seemed helpful, were nice about showing me around, and answered my questions. It seems like they offer a lot of things that the seniors would need. And they have a side that's memory care, so if they started at assisted living, they can transfer out to memory care, so I like that."

"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 CherryWood Village and started in their independent living community. I chose it for myself because it's close to my son. It also has everything that I could need. It has a theater, a chapel, a library, physical therapy, a pool, and even a little golf course. The food is excellent, and there's a wide variety of it available. The service and staff are excellent, too. Everybody is friendly, extremely kind, and helpful. I'm in physical therapy, and we have a pool, so I'm also doing water aerobics. Walking all around the area is delightful here, too. It's a safe environment, and it's very easy to walk around in."

"We were impressed with MorningStar Assisted Living & Memory Care of Happy Valley. I think that's my favorite for my mom. It was very clean, very bright, very open, and the people we encountered were extremely friendly. It felt like the residents had a lot of freedom as to obtaining meals when they wanted and what they wanted. The rooms that we saw were very spacious. We like the feel of it overall, and the location is really nice for us. The staff who gave us the tour was very knowledgeable. The studio was open and not staged, but we saw a one-bedroom and a two-bedroom that were staged, so you could see a layout of how furniture would fit and such, so that was helpful. They sent us home with a little pastry, which was nice. We'd like to take my mom out there and do a meal and a tour with her at some point in the near future. We saw the opportunity for residents to do everything from reading, and there's an opportunity to have your nails done and your hair done. They have a massage location, and somebody can come in and do massages. They also have games. They have an activities director. Lots of different activities and events were going on. It was also beautifully decorated for Christmas; it was very classy looking."

"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."

"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."

"What I liked best about Cogir at the Quarry was the caring people and there was a level of joy in everyone's life there and the work life of the people who are employed there. The thing that I like the least is that it is a bit like a maze of hallways. With my parents struggling with dementia, that's probably going to be their hardest transition, figuring out where in the world they are and where they're going. My husband has a good sense of direction and we went on the tour together. He was finding it a bit baffling. If a man with full cognitive and a sense of direction is a bit confused, just imagine how older parents who are already feeling the effects of dementia would be. On the flipside, there were plenty of workers around so you would not be lost for long. There were places to sit down along the way so you could find your way without undue stress. They did a nice job with the cleanliness. The atmosphere was positive and supportive. It was a big business so it was a very big building. The size of the room was sufficient."

"My wife is at the Hampton & the Ashley Inn. It's a warm setting. The staff are caring. The facility is very clean and pleasant. The staff members are very helpful. If I come in and I can't find my wife, I'll ask one of the staff, and they in turn can locate her and direct me to her, so that's a nice feature. I won't say it's a huge facility, but it's large enough to spend about five minutes looking for somebody. They have several TV rooms, several rooms with tables, and facilities to do puzzles or whatever your interest is. The activities include things like exercise and games where you try to come up with the correct answers. I haven't seen anybody poorly handled or mishandled. There's maybe one patient that gets very boisterous and not cooperative at all, but they seem to manage them and are trying to be as considerate as possible to them. My wife said the meals were fine. You walk down the halls and there are pictures of all sorts of things."

"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."

"We found Brookdale Vancouver Stonebridge for my mom. They can fulfill her needs a lot better than where she is at. It is a memory care place, and that's specifically what she needs. The staff are very professional, very caring, kind, compassionate, and understanding. The place is very clean and smells good. Those are the two big ones. It is also very well organized. They have a salon. I don't know about anything else because it really wasn't our concern at the moment."

"We toured Cogir of Glenwood Place. I pretty much like everything about it. It was nice, neat, clean and modern. The staff who gave the tour was very friendly and nice. They have a restaurant, and the movie theater was appealing to my brother. Their barbershop was good, too. It was one level, and so it's a good location for him. The residents looked happy."
