"Marquis Newberg is a fairly new building. It's lovely, it's clean as you walk in, and it doesn't smell. The person during the tour was wonderful and helpful. If we couldn't get in to the other place, my friend was going to go there."

"My husband has been at Avamere Court at Keizer after his stroke. I think they could have not better with my husband's condition after his stroke, but I think overall they kept him pretty clean. Their therapists were excellent, but they could not give him the one-on-one care that he specifically needed at all times. The facility was clean, and they have activities. The food was good; five-course meals three times a day. "

"They ignore patients needs. Let them sit in wet and dirty diapers, lots of diaper rash and urinary tract infections. Hallway totally stinks of manure. Food is pathetic, how can someone get better with no proper nourishment. Not giving RX that was prescribed. There are a few good staff and lots of bad staff."

"My family member is doing well at DRV. It takes time to adjust to living in a retirement community, and the staff are welcoming."

"The initial relocation was somewhat difficult, due in part to the need of relocating to a new city and re-establishing a local primary care doctor and vascular specialist to further oversee her care. On the surface, the facility seemed a bit dated. Because of the circumstances, it was important that my mother have Internet access to help stay in touch with the rest of her family and the outside world, and the lack of Wi-Fi access was disappointing, but we were able to remedy this with the purchase of a cellular Internet service. While my mom was ready to be released from the hospital and begin physical therapy, her leg was not completely healed, and the wound vac and dressing change needed to be changed frequently. There was a fairly thorough intake and assessment by one of the nurses, who turned out to be one the best during my mom's entire stay, a lifesaver I would argue. I was present during the first several dressing changes though and did not receive a lot of confidence that some of the nursing staff had a lot of experience with wound care, or as much concern as they should have had when it began to take a turn for the worse. I would like to have seen more care and due diligence from some of the staff in this area, especially from the staff doctor, who never once looked at her wound with the dressings removed. He could have admitted her to the hospital a week sooner. By the time we were able to see the new local vascular doctor, the wound had degraded to the point that she was immediately admitted to the Salem hospital for surgery to re-open the site, clean it, and perform additional measures to help it heal, which resulted in a 10 day additional stay in the hospital. (The lesson here is know and trust your primary care doctor, do not depend on the house physician.)Upon her return and with better direction from the vascular doctor, things did improve over time with her wound care. The physical therapists were absolutely fantastic: in three months they brought her from barely able to stand to able to transfer, use her walker, and use the facilities by herself, enabling her to transition home. The staff person responsible for helping to schedule rides to doctor appointments with Cherry Left was very helpful and reliable. One of the swing shift nurses really made all of the difference in her overall health and wound care, and the Director assisted us a lot with our relocation and re-establishment after she left. My mom's biggest complaint was with the food; since she was on a diabetic, low-sodium diet, the meals became extremely repetitive. Most of the time they just removed certain items from the plate instead of replacing them with diet-friendly alternatives, leaving her hungry and me concerned about the adequacy of her nutrition. I ended up bringing her healthier meals from outside most evenings for the last month or so of her stay.When a family member needs to stay in a facility like this, or a hospital for that matter, it is critical, in my opinion, that the person have an advocate who helps oversee the person's care and ensures continuity and accountability across all of the different shift changes. It seems that mistakes are made no matter where you go, and every new caregiver needs to learn more about the patient than what can be captured on a chart. That being said, I will say that many of the nursing staff, CNAs, the Director, and especially the physical therapists worked very hard to bring my mother back from an extremely difficult situation, one that many in her situation do not come back from. Their generally warm and friendly demeanor, coupled with my mom's determination to recover, made it possible for her to return home. "

"Tierra Rose was a beautiful place, but I didn’t think the staff was as involved or friendly. They have memory care, assisted living, and nursing. The rooms were a little bigger; they had beautiful courtyards and a nice waiting area. The place was secure and safe. "

"My friend used to be at Marquis Care. It was a clean facility. The dining room was clean and sufficient. The staff was very pleasant. He had Alzheimer's and he was in a special unit so he couldn't just walk out to wander outside. I thought they did a good job. "

"My husband was in Providence Benedictine Nursing Center. I thought it was excellent. He's got excellent care, he liked it there. He had a stroke and they had worked with him in therapy and he was happy that I was happy. I would recommend this facility for anybody that's needing a nursing home. They're very caring, efficient, knowledgeable and skilled. My husband was real critical about most things, but he liked it there. "

"My experience with the Marquis Wilsonville has been very positive. All the people there are extremely respectful to each individual resident and to their family members. They try to engage each resident to an extent that is welcoming and responsive without being pushy. Family caregivers need to know that their loved ones are not in prison, nor should be. This is not the old days where those with dementia and/or motor skill challenges were misunderstood and rigidly confined. My experience with my husband who has an early onset degenerative brain disease, is that his quality of life is directly related to feeling like a whole person and treated as if he has some semblance of independence. The Marquis does a wonderful job ensuring this, while doing the best they can to look after his care. If people are looking for a 24-hour observation & nursing care facility, their loved one probably needs to be in a hospital or designated full-time nursing home (or hospice if end-of life is anticipated). There are no guarantees in life; the best this caregiver (me) can do is work to find a place that provides the best fit for my husband's nature and condition. It is not inexpensive. Neither is it an elder-care country club for those with unlimited resources, which may not even be suitable to the individual's personality. However, it is clearly the best local fit for our situation at this time. What the Marquis Wilsonville does, it does very well! I am very grateful for the respite for me, and the quality of non-obtrusive yet attentive care and sense of dignity they provide my husband. Thank you one and all! "

"My brother was transferred to Avamere Transitional Care from the hospital, and they seemed to be caring. My brother really likes it, and he seems to be doing a lot better and is really happy. They are taking good care of my brother; they always check in and ask if he needs anything. They are very friendly too. It’s kind of a secluded area, but it’s close to all kinds of shopping centers. Plus, my brother likes the food. "

"My husband is at Avamere Rehab. They do therapy over there for older people and injured people. It is a very nice place. The staff is very nice. They're very good. My husband likes the food. He does like the room, and he is in a room with a roommate, so he is quite happy there for the time being. "

"I moved my mom to Avamere and they were really excellent. The food was good. The entire staff seemed to be very connected with what was going on. I could ask anyone who was working there, and they would immediately fill me with any information I needed. They were really, really good. They rehabilitated my mom and got her up and going. It was clean. I like that just everybody seemed to be communicating really well. I think the discharge was a little bit confusing. There were a couple of people involved who weren't talking to each other, which was really a surprise after all that I'd been through with them. When it came to the discharge, there were a lot of different ideas going on. Not everybody was on the same page when it came to that. "

"My friend is now at Independence Health and Rehabilitation Center. So far from what I have seen, they seem to be really good. The physical therapy portion of their operation is very good. My friend tells me that they are working him hard, and already there is improvement in his state of mind and his physical ability. I haven't eaten there, but he says the food is pretty good. He has his own room, but there is another person in his room, but it is set up so that it is kind of comfortable. He has his own dresser and furniture stuff in there. My friend seems to be involved in things that go on there. He has only been there for just a couple of weeks, but I know they're having a big Easter thing there at the community. "
