The Village at Regional West

Nancy M

I have moved into The Village at Regional West. It's fairly large. It has independent and assisted living and it's owned by the local hospital. The manager is terrific and has made a great deal of adjustments to help me because my furniture came two weeks later. I had very nice guest accommodations and they helped me get an appointment right away with my doctor to get my medications straightened out. They also helped me with rides to the doctor and the dentist. The grounds are really gorgeous, it's like an oasis. I can't believe there's such a beautiful place in the middle of the High Plains. There's probably five to ten acres and it's all in lawns and trees and there's a really large pond, so it has nice outdoor places to go. They've been very effective with my medications and getting things changed if they weren't right. The people have been very welcoming and invited me to different games and things and taught me how to play Pitch and Three Thirteen. However, they're shorthanded, which is not their fault. They're genuinely helpful and pleasant and do what I need done. The food here is very good and it is truly more like home cooking than the frozen stuff that is heated up and put on your plate. It could use some updating, but it's a very nicely maintained high quality place. There's evidently more demand for assisted living than there was at the time it was built, and so they need to convert a lot of the doorways and things to accommodate wheelchairs. They have lots of activities and they don't just have a schedule printed out, there are actual activities. The people are encouraged to play games in the evening after dinner, and they have musicians come in. The price seemed to be pretty much right in the range of all the other places in Oregon. There are lots of places that are at a much higher cost than this.
