The Best Senior Living Communities in Bend, OR

"Fox Hollow offers assisted living and independent living. The staff who gave us the tour was very informative and friendly. They have microwaves and refrigerators in the rooms. They also have a courtyard."

"We recently moved my dad into Mill View, and I couldn’t be happier with the level of care he’s receiving. The staff is incredibly kind and attentive, always making sure he’s comfortable and engaged in daily activities. He loves the social aspect—playing cards with new friends and attending music nights. The facility itself is clean, well-maintained, and has a warm, welcoming feel. It’s such a relief knowing he’s in a place where he’s cared for like family"

"We chose Mt. Bachelor Assisted Living and Memory Care for my mother-in-law. We toured the outside and looked in the windows, but because of COVID, we haven't been able to get inside yet. We saw the outside areas that were available, but we weren't able to see an actual apartment yet. The staff, Judy, is very knowledgeable, helpful, and personable, and we were impressed with her. The facility is beautiful. It's new, it's only four years old, and it's done nicely. They have a beautiful courtyard and space for gathering outside, so it's a very pretty facility."

"Mt. Bachelor Assisted Living and Memory Care was an excellent facility. They have all of the amenities anyone could probably ask for in an assisted living. It was highly recommended and that's where we're going to be moving my sister in. We talked to several of the residents and they all pretty much gave a positive review about the place and that they liked being there. They have a wonderful courtyard and access to the outside. It's bright, cheery, and clean. It's a fairly new facility so all of the apartments were up to date. It's excellent all the way around. They were very open to whatever we wanted to ask and very thorough on the tour. They didn't leave anything out. The food we had was good."

"I visited Regency Village at Redmond. The lady who ran the front desk was very nice, showed me what I needed to know, and discussed everything, but the financial. It was very clean and quiet. Older people were moving around inside, most of them with walkers or some kind of an assist. It was just calm and relaxing. I was pleased with that. It was a welcoming experience. It had all I would ever want. I saw one room that was going to be available. I liked it. It was a decent size. It's a two-story facility, which is better than three or these monster places. I was just quietly impressed that it was a very nice place and well run."

"My tour in Brookdale Redmond was limited only because my legs were bothering me that day and I couldn't walk that much, but I'd been there before, one other time, a couple of years ago, so I was kind of familiar with the way it was laid out and ran. It was all fives. I felt very comfortable and welcomed. No stress, no unusual noises or congestion. Joe was excellent. The dining area was roomy. There's plenty of room between tables, but it wasn't so huge that it was intimidating. It was comfortable. It's a well-run facility. It's very clean and quiet. I didn't have any complaints about anything. Nothing bothered me. The residents were just doing their normal coming and going and moving around. Many of them were like me, handicapped and needing walkers and wheelchairs and what have you. I'm 82, and it seemed to me most of the people were my age or older. They seemed comfortable and enjoyed their environment."

"We're moving into Sisters Senior Living. I enjoyed the place, and I look forward to it. Everything is convenient in the way it's put together. Things are very close to the door and where they want to meet people. The staff members are very helpful, kind and friendly. They were great in helping me get organized. The food was very good, too. They have different crafts and those were the activities that I was interested in."

"We are choosing Regency Village at Prineville for my sister. The rooms were clean and neat, and everything seemed nice. The residents there were happy. I could see that they were comfortable and well cared for. The staff I've talked to were very kind and very sweet. I talked to the nurse who needs to evaluate my sister, and she's very accommodating and very sweet, told me what they needed, and we're working out a way to get that done long distance. They've been just really easy and good people to work with. They've got washers and dryers available right there. They have an outside area where you can go and sit in the sun. They have all kinds of things that they do with the residents, like entertainment and trips out of the facility. They had pool tournaments and bowling in the hall."

"Caring staff! great attentive therapists! (ask for Tony) Super care team! I can only think of kind words and praise for this place. My husband has recovered wonderfully after a painful surgery. the staff there treated us with respect. And always made sure my husband was comfortable, if it was a pain pill, an extra pillow, a cold pack, even once a card game to try to distract him! they all work so hard but always had a smile and a kind hello! We truly recommend this facility! "

"This small little community is such a gift. So many smiles and joy on the residents' faces. They have a lovely courtyard with a view of Pilot Butte, which also has some nice hiking trails and benches for picnics with family. They also have a wonderful security system in place for the safety of your loved one. These people truly care about the well-being of their residents."

"We will be moving into Touchmark at Pilot Butte. Just everything about it is a five. They have 90,000 square feet of common space. There's a gym with state-of-the-art equipment and a full-time trainer. There are social activities and stuff. It's just a very high-end place. We're fortunate to be able to afford to live there. The food is outstanding. You ordered off a menu and the preparation of the food was excellent. The service was good. The staff was very efficient. We enjoyed talking to the relocation counselor or whatever she's called. She's been very attentive. This is just one of those places where you walk in the front and then you go, "Wow, this is beautiful." You can tell that everybody cares about what they're doing there."

"My grandmother Mary was diagnosed with altzimers at 85 years old. It was scary for us, for a normally chatty and vivacious woman to slowly turn into a sad shell of her former self. She was living on her own with a home care nurse, but it was time for her to to be in a facility that could attend to her needs full time. We had hear of Cascade View from one of my mum's friends, and when we took a tour, we decided it was the right place for Mary. We sure made the right desision! Every time we visited her, there was some new activity she was looking forward to, like bingo, bridge or even playing around on a wii! The assisting nurses and aids were very attentive to Mary, her skin was always well taken care of and they always make sure to take care of her teeth and hair. The food always looked fresh and she was always assisted with eating if she needed it, but never forced. They encouraged her to do things like walking around the facility or visiting the garden. I was so happy to see the last years of my grandmother's life be in a facility that was really about her and truly cared. "

"Bend Transitional Care is excellent. It's a very well-designed place. The people who work here are just amazing. If I ask for assistance, they will come and help. I've been here a week, and I'm still doing a lot of physical therapy, so I have been out and about very much. The food is not home-cooking, but it's good. For amenities, they have a game room, a social area, and so on. The facilities are fine."

"I toured Awbrey Place Assisted Living and Memory Care. It's excellent. It's very good. It's pleasant. The rooms are nice and accommodating. They have nice windows, and you can look out there, meaning out in a nice backyard, and it's like in a circle. It's designed well. Expert staff and friendly staff. The rooms are handy with all the things you need in it (at least the one we picked), and it will be easy to access. There's plenty of activities going on so that my husband can make friends easily and be comfortable. The staff members are very qualified people who know what they're doing in all levels of care."
