Memory Care Communities in Roseburg, OR

"My dad has moved here. He has been there for three weeks now. The community is fine. He hates it because it's the way he is, but there's nothing they're going to do to make it better for him. That's just his mental state. But they're nice and caring and good with people. My dad's room is just a room. It has a bed, his chair, his TV and he has a bathroom. It seems to be very clean. The dining area is fine. They have a bunch of activities. They went to the coast. They have a wide range of stuff besides the TV. They try to keep them active, talking and playing games and stuff like that. I don't know whether he participates much, but hopefully, he will in time. They have a nice little courtyard. It has lots of flowers. They have a resident cat. The staff is good."

"My parents have moved into The Landing. They're very accommodating and professional. The rooms are nice and clean. The facility is only about four years old. They had replaced the carpet, so the carpet is brand new, and the paint is good. Everybody seems to be pretty friendly. If I ever asked for anything, I was able to get it. My parents report that the food is average. I know that they had music the other day during one of the mealtimes, and they really liked that. The atmosphere seems to be pretty good. Overall, to me, they seem to be pretty happy where they're at. I haven't had that much contact with the staff, but the small contact that I have had has been overall very positive. It's a brand-new place, and it's clean and bright. I think that carries over into people's attitudes. Everybody seems to be pretty happy in there."

"When I visited there, Brookdale Roseburg was the most expensive one. It just seemed like it was a lot colder and sterile than some of the other places that I visited. The apartments were kind of small, but they were fine. The place was very clean, and there wasn't an issue at all. The staff who gave the tour were fine, and they did a good job of explaining everything."

"My husband has been in Timber Town Living for a month and a half now. Due to his severe Alzheimer's, they have provided the proper and caring place for him that he needs at this point of his illness. The staff has been very informative and caring and has made taking care of our loved one less burdensome. They are assisted living that has multiple levels of care for different Alzheimer's and dementia patients. His room is a single room with a doctor and staff on it all time along with mental health care. They have activities depending on their ability. They have outings with the residents, they have an entertainment center that everybody can be a part of, they have arts and crafts and puzzles and things like that help entertain them, they have a place where they can go outside and still be secure and enjoy the outside. This is more of a lockdown facility, but that's what he needed. He has aggressive Alzheimer's, so they can accommodate that type of patient. The staff has been nothing but great. I have not tried their food, but they are providing him with finger foods, which is what he needs. The facility is clean, beautiful, and homey."

"We chose Chantele's Loving Touch & Memory Care because my sister-in-law wanted to go there. When I called them, I got a good response from the person who interviewed me for the residents. I went from there, got the application, filled it out, and faxed it over. They said they will accept her, so it went really easy from there on. When we moved in there, a young man was outside who told us that the office was in the next driveway. He then went in and told the people that they were there, so two ladies came out to meet us at the car. I told them that she needs to go to the bathroom because it's been a long trip; they said they'll take care of that and hand her off to somebody to take her inside the building. I signed the papers, gave them the check, and then they said see you later. We didn't go into the facility. It was noon and they took her in to introduce her to the people eating lunch, and she sat down and ate. We heard from her the next morning. She calls me every day and says that the food is good, but they're not like mine. She said they give her her apple a day as a snack between breakfast and lunch, so she's happy about that. They send us pictures of the room, it's a large room, and it looked clean. What I like is that the people are so nice and so easy to work with. She said she likes to play bingo, and that was one of the first things she got to do. She told me that she got to win four pieces of chocolate candy. It's institutionalized food. You make a lot of it so it doesn't taste as good."
