Memory Care Communities in Lake Oswego, OR

"Today is my father's first day in Murray Highland Memory Care. It's a small community, and they have good one-on-one care with the residents. They're very responsive to requests through email or phone calls. So far, it's been a good experience. He has a private room. They have an activity director, and they have a variety of things that they do including music, games, puzzles, exercises, and that sort of thing. They provide three meals a day and snacks any time the residents wanted them. It's his first day, so I'm still figuring out everything that they have today. There's no problem moving him in. We just brought him in, and they were very helpful."

"McLoughlin Place was fantastic and beautiful. I would move in there in a heartbeat. The people were friendly. We ate there, and the food was very good. The people were very nice, and the decor was pretty. It wasn't bright nor excitable, but calming. It felt like home. The rooms were very nice and a good size. They had an exercise room with people in it. There was a huge room off to the right where they had coloring books, games, and puzzles. It was a very nice place with lots of activities. I was very impressed."

"At Courtyard at Mt. Tabor, not only did we get to meet the marketing fellow who gave us the tour, but we did get to meet several of the staff members just briefly. We were able to interface with several of the residents there. It seemed like everybody was friendly and was having a good time. We liked the idea that this was not a big downpayment to enter and this was a month-to-month kind of arrangement. Despite that, they had people who had been living there for several years on a month-to-month kind of thing. No other commitment besides that. They have a step-up in terms of care. It had a really friendly atmosphere. We didn't get a chance to eat any of the food. I'm a pescatarian, which is a vegan but will eat fish and the menu there was very limited. The marketing director was excellent. We asked them whether or not we could swap out one of the appliances because they don't have induction ranges. We would want to have an induction range in our unit and they said that would be no problem. They could accommodate that. We would buy the appliance, but they would install it and allow it to be placed in the unit. If somebody was looking for what they offer, I don't think that they could find a better place."

"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."

"My grandmother's husband lived at Senior Haven for the last year of his life. Lena and the staff were wonderful--especially given the fact that my grandmother's husband was not the easiest or nicest person to deal with. They were patient and compassionate and he had all of his needs beautifully met. Thank you, Senior Haven. I highly recommend this place! "

"Clare Bridge of Beaverton is a care facility that focuses their care towards seniors with Alzheimer's or other illnesses involving dementia. The staff was very pleasant and helpful, letting me conduct interviews and gave me a tour of the facility. The facility itself is designed to allow personal space and independence, while still providing security and safe measures for the seniors. There are also plenty of activities for the seniors to participate in. For how depressing a assistant living facility can be, this one was full of very positive upbeat people working on the staff. "

"Staff was very caring. It was nice to see even the janitorial staff and kitchen staff interact with my mom. Food was made from scratch and my mom never had a complaint about it. I know that her life was enriched with the activities and ability to interact with other residents. I know her life was extended by the staff's ability to notice when something was off. There seems to be a lot of staff continuity here and not a lot of turnover which is key to developing the personal relationships that enhanced care. This speaks to the management, who even visited my mom in the hospital."

"Sapphire at Firwood Gardens looked OK. When I was referred there they were not actually giving tours because they're in the process of converting a section of the complex and they were not going to have any vacancies for quite some time, but they took time to give me at least a brief tour. I thought that was somewhat exceptional. I saw a room that was empty and it looked OK."

"My grandmother was so well cared for and loved by the Bortes family. We were always so pleased with our visits with the family and their sweet children, we are comforted knowing she was genuinely happy during the final months of her life. "

"The living atmosphere in Arbor Oaks Terrace is quite good. They provide activities for the residents. It looks like they have quite a turnover in the help because I seem to see different attendants every week. They seem to be taking good care of my mom. The place is very clean, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Although it seems that they could use more staff because 20% of the time there wasn't staff around. Not that there's an emergency, but you'd like to see someone in the common area almost all the time."

"Our tour was great. We were able to just show up at any time, and the staff that accommodated us was awesome and showed us around. It's a little on the expensive side, which was one of the reasons we held off, but otherwise everything was great. It seems like a very nice place and the rooms were quite large. They also have a beautiful garden and path that residents can walk through but still remain safe. Among the places we looked at, they were the best."

"We're very satisfied with the living arrangement of Summerplace. It's a very secure and warm environment. . The rooms are very nice and clean and the food was very good. The staff were all very efficient. Their activities varies from bus rides to card games. People would also come in to sing and dance. They're very good with my mother-in-law. "

"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."
