Communities in Tigard, OR

"My sister-in-law moved into Brookdale River Valley Tualatin. She prefers to pretty much just stay in her own room and have meals provided. Because of the Corona virus, they are doing that right now. They're providing three meals a day. They have a shuttle bus that would take her to different places, and they have laundry services. They have somebody come in to help with the cleaning and making the bed; I think those services are pretty good. The nurses in charge of all the medical pieces has been in constant communication and does a really good job. If you have any questions, they immediately get back to us, so we're pretty pleased with what's happening. Everybody is very helpful. Every Wednesday they have a shuttle bus, and they go do day trips to different areas in Oregon. They have an activities coordinator who leads them in games and exercises. They have a schedule of activities every day. Basically the activities coordinator will not only do games and social activities, but also physical treatment activities."

"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."

"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. "

"I visited the independent living community of Clearwater Beaverton, and I will be moving into a 2-bedroom apartment there. It was $700 cheaper than the other facility I looked at, and everybody was just so friendly. The people I sat with and had lunch with have been very nice. Everybody seems to like the place really well, and there were no complaints. I wanted the 2-bedroom apartment because my house is almost 3000 square feet, and there's a lot of stuff I've collected, so I liked the size of the unit. I love the courtyard, too. They have a lot of activities there, and I thought that would be interesting. I also have a deck that is kind of enclosed. It's not on the outside of the building, but just bolted onto the side, and has a door out onto it from the bedroom. I like that it's covered, and my things won't go flying off the side of a building if it gets stormy. I think they said that nobody's used that room before. It's brand new, so that'll be nice. The sink faces the window that looks outside near the deck. It has a raised counter there, so I could put stools instead of a dining room table because I didn't want to take up more space in the living room, which is not that big. You come in and there's a kitchen and a place where you could put your dining room table and living room. I like that a lot. I liked that it has a bath and a half. I also like that one wall is painted in a very nice soft green. I just don't have anything that I'm worried about. They also have covered parking if I want it. Everything seems to be taken care of, and I'm very pleased. There are a lot of activities there. There's somebody there that quilts, and I also wanted to do yoga, and they've got that. The food was good. There are lots of choices that you can eat, and it's two meals a day, which is fine. I could also have my cat there."

"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."

"I toured McLoughlin Place Senior Living. It seemed nice, and people were very happy. It was nice that my mom could keep her cats because they're important to her. The staff was very friendly. They have a nice little seating area out front for people."

"I love this facility. They are under new management and making improvements everyday. Their staff is friendly but most important compassionate with the residents; and most important meeting each of their needs. They have great daily activites to assure they don't just sit there. They listen when you have a question or concern. They are accessible when you need them too. I've had experience with other facilities in town and this is by far the best. "

"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! "

"Princess and her team provided compassionate care through my mom's final months. She provided us with timely communication about my mother's health condition, reducing our apprehension over moving her to a care home. Her caregivers went out of their way to accommodate her dietary desires, and provided her with privacy when family members visited to spend time with her. This was extremely important as she was a very independent person and her faith and family was most important to her. The facility followed safety guidelines and procedures, and ensured that visitors understood and followed them as well. "

"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. "

"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."

"My mother lived at Summerplace for 5 years. I wouldn't recommend anyone else. Summerplace has turn over like all residential care. If you can't handle new smiling faces, then you should probably move in your loved one, in your own home. The food is good, some meals better than others. My mother's favorite was lunch. A new chef was hired a few months before my mother passes, I was very impressed with his cooking. I can't imagine cooking for 80 to 100 people. My mother received great care and respect. The long term staff are real gems. I can not say how thankful I am to the staff that have stuck thru the rough muck in the past 5 years with my family. I would highly recommend Summerplace to all."

"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."
