Memory Care Communities in Redmond, OR

"My mom is at Countryside Living Redmond. I think they're great. It's a very nice, warm, loving place for her. The facilities are really, really, really nice. They look like a lodge, so it's very homey. The accommodations are a shared room. There's a wall that the room is shared, so it's semi-private. The bathroom is shared on the outside. They have around 25 residents. They have a childcare onsite that is right next door to the senior living so the seniors can watch the kids play and stuff during the day, which is really, really nice. They have spa for things like hair and nails, and they have tons of daily activities. They have a bus, and sometimes they'll go on outings. They have a small garden so they can do some gardening. They have a very secure outdoor facility so they can walk around outside. They have lots of games and they bring in music sometimes. Outside vendors will come in and do activities with them sometimes. There are tons of stuff to do. The staff are very nice, very warm, and very loving. There's not a lot of turnover or there hasn't been, so that's really nice. The building is absolutely gorgeous. It's very, very expensive."

"I toured Awbrey Place Assisted Living and Memory Care. It's excellent. It's very good. It's pleasant. The rooms are nice and accommodating. They have nice windows, and you can look out there, meaning out in a nice backyard, and it's like in a circle. It's designed well. Expert staff and friendly staff. The rooms are handy with all the things you need in it (at least the one we picked), and it will be easy to access. There's plenty of activities going on so that my husband can make friends easily and be comfortable. The staff members are very qualified people who know what they're doing in all levels of care."

"Cascades of Bend Retirement Community is an older building, and I stayed there for 2 nights. It was very comfortable. The room where I stayed was a 2-bedroom with adequate storage. The 1-bedroom didn't have enough storage. The food was excellent, and they had a very good chef. I played cards one night with some of the men, and they had a question and answer thing which was also good and well-attended. The people there liked it very much and are satisfied to be there. "

"We got my mother-in-law in a memory care program at Touchmark at Mt Bachelor Village. We are very comfortable with them. The staff are beautiful, very caring, and very friendly, and they are 100% for the people that live there. They work very hard because with dementia, you never know what's going to happen with them. She is very happy to be there, and she likes the people. They treat her with dignity, and that was a big issue that we have. If someone wants to go there, I would not hesitate at all. The rooms are a little on the small side. She has got quite a bit in her room -- a twin-sized bed, a big dresser, a table and a chair. They want the people to be out with the others. It's not a fancy bedroom, but it's very adequate, and the bathroom is very big. We did a tour of the kitchen, and we saw them fixing food. The dining room is very open, light, and it has a lot of windows so they can see outside to a patio. If the people don't want to eat inside, they can eat outside on the patio. It's very accommodating. They have all kinds of different activities and different games, and it depends on what the people want to do. Last weekend, they were doing a quilting show. They also have a doctor's assistant that comes once a month. Outside in the other area, they have a place where they do their toenails, and she just got a perm on her hair. They'll walk them in another building for the appointment and bring them back. The head nurse called us everyday the first week to let us know how she was doing. They bend over backwards. I have no issue except they're a little expensive, but you have to expect that. "

"I went to Carriage Place Memory Care. I think that from what I saw, it was very nice. Adequate. Everyone that I had contact with was very friendly and went about their work. I really didn't see any regular rooms. I saw a double room where there would be two people occupying it, but I didn't see a single room. I believe they had a nice large, lounging recreational area for people to gather. And, they also had a puzzle and craft area, which was nice. I think it was OK. They had a TV area also. It was very clean, and they had a beautiful courtyard with flowers and tables and chairs, and places to sit outside, and it was very beautiful. The whole building surrounded it, so nearly every room could be seen out into the courtyard. So it was very nice. The administrator who took me around was nice, manageable, and OK."
