Memory Care Communities in Salem, OR

"My mom moved to The Iris Memory Care. I like it. The manager communicates very well. My mom has made herself at home there. The staff is very nice, friendly, and helpful. I sat down for a meal and it looked delicious. They serve three meals a day. The facility is very nice, clean, and fairly new. They had it remodeled I think she said less than a year ago and changed from a regular retirement home to a memory care home. They have activities every day. I haven't sat through any of them except for a church service. They were very affordable and had the most amenities to go with it. They have a little garden area. They grow gardens every year. It's in a city area. It's nice."

"My husband was at Brookstone Alzheimer's Special Care Center. I love that he had a good roommate and they're very careful about pairing people. They've also had a very good ratio of men to women, it's almost half and half, which is kind of unusual. The community relations person was really good. The staff helped him with showering, bathing, meals, and activities. I've seen that they had a barber shop, a shower room, there's a TV room where they have the meals, and there's a general area where everyone is gathering. I thought the value for money was pretty good."

"What I like best about Briden Kinder Care is that it's well-kept and they have friendly staff. What I like least is that their driveways is really steep. We did not taste the food, but the food smelled good. The facility was very nice. The rooms were good. They're adequate or better. When I stepped in it felt warm and homey."

"Cedar Village Assisted Living & Memory Care is affordable. It's beautiful. The people were nice. I got to hug one of the clients. The staff was very professional. They have activities, they said, three or four times a week, that they can come down and participate in. They take them to outings. The room was nice and very appropriate for my loved one. He's in a wheelchair, so it was very convenient. He would have been able to get around quite nicely."

"We were impressed with Bonaventure at Keizer Station. It looks very nice. It's very well laid out. The room was nice, bright and open. There was plenty of room, and we were very impressed with it. The appliances were there; it was fully outfitted. The staff who gave the tour was very knowledgeable and very concerned about our desires. She answered all of our questions. One of the rooms we looked at was under renovation, but it looked like they were doing a very good job."

"My father has moved here. It's been very good. The staff is very good. It's very clean and laid out very well. I wasn't able to try the food. I asked residents who were eating the food and they told me the food was very good, very healthy, and very nutritious. They have a gym, a small lounge, and a bus that takes people to several different appointments a week. They also have social outings per week. They make sure that they do something for every major holiday. They have entertainment come in every Friday. We visited several communities and this is the one that was closest and that we thought had the best of what we wanted."

"I toured Silver Creek Senior Living. It was very, very nice, but they had very limited Medicaid apartment availability. The tour was really good. The community looked like it had a great atmosphere, and there were lots of activities and things to keep people busy. The staff who gave the tour was amazing. Super nice. She was ready for me and called me by name as soon as I walked in. She gave me literature, too. The apartments were very beautiful, friendly, and comfortable. Everything was accessible. The dining area looked really good, too. There were a lot of people eating at that time, and they all seemed to be very jovial. I noticed that they had a movie room, an activity room, a game room, and an area where people were doing jigsaw puzzles and card games and stuff like that. "

"We fell in love with the apartment at Fircrest Senior Living. It's beautiful and had a balcony that overlooked the airport of McMinnville. The manager was absolutely fabulous, very friendly, open, led us around, and wants us there. We can take our dog, which is important. They showed me a two-bedroom, but my dad is moving into a studio this coming weekend. They offered three meals a day and had transportation to shopping, doctors, and planned outings. It's the best price for a beautiful, brand-new apartment. The kitchen was all done in stainless steel."

"I toured Bonaventure of Albany. It was nice and clean. The staff was very friendly and nice, and they kept in contact with us for quite a while after the tour. It's a beautiful building. The rooms were small, but they were nice."

"It is really nice and my husband is doing really well so far. All the people who assisted me are really good. Even one of them came to where I live because I wasn't able to come in at at particular time. So, the people go beyond their call of duty."

"Brookdale Geary Street was a nice place. They had lots of activities for the seniors there, and it also appeared that they had several people on staff to help. They're well kept up and nice, and they had good amenities. I did not try the food, but they had a large variety and it looked like it was healthy."

"My Aunt lives here at this facility. Our family had her relocated from the East coast. We are pleasantly surprised at how well she has adjusted. The staff are so very kind to her and she tells me "I have lots of friends here." What a blessing to have this facility in our area. The activities, atmosphere, management, meals are all very good. I would highly recommend this facility. "

"My wife is doing pretty good at Brookdale McMinnville City Center. It's real homey and friendly. The staff is outstanding. They've been very helpful in all areas. She was on quarantine for 10 days. They have just about anything, puzzles, books, card games, board games, and arts and crafts. The grounds are well kept. The dining room is large and very nice. The rooms are very comfortable and pretty large. The people there are just fabulous. The residents are happy, too."

"The tour at Regent Court Memory Care went very well. It was very clean and very well organized. The staff member took his time to show me around. I saw a couple of different rooms. I was very pleased with the information I was given, all the pricing, all the options. He did a great job. They provide meals, laundry, housekeeping, and activities. They even have an in-house hair salon. There were lots of amenities, a lovely backyard, a large patio, and some outdoor space."
