My parents just moved into Brookdale Forest Grove. Everybody has been wonderful, very welcoming, had a lot of information, and were very helpful in getting everything together. They had very nice grounds, which were very well-kept, and very quiet. They have PT, they have weekly trips out, and they were putting together different events for the entertainment. They liked the food.

My mom is in Brookdale Forest Grove. Their activities are kind of boring; they pretty much have the same thing all the time and nothing that my mom likes. I would say that they should improve on their activities. The place is generally pretty clean, and the staff is always really caring. She has a really cute apartment that's the perfect size for her. It's a one-bedroom with a living room, a small kitchen if she wanted to cook, and a bathroom. They have a lot of staff turnover though, so when there's someone new, you'd have to start all over again.

I moved here at Brookdale nine years ago. It was pretty good then, but it's gone down quite a bit. They don't have any exercise to speak of, no swimming pool, and the number of staff has been reduced. The rooms were fine, spacious, and had everything you need. They've got housekeeping people to keep it clean and laundry if you want it done.

I liked Brookdale Forest Grove because the rates were reasonable, and the rooms were nice; a lot larger than in the other place. The staff was friendly.

I visited Brookdale Forrest Grove, and I loved it. I loved the environment. The people were very kind. They were nice. It was very clean. The meals were fabulous -- the way they served it and the way you had a couple of choices of meals every day. You had multiple choices of food, and you do not have to eat the same thing every day.

We were able to visit Wynwood of Forest Grove. This place is clean, and it would be easy access for us to go see him. The atmosphere was friendly. It did offer professional services, but more impersonal. Their apartments were clean and very nice. It is also very spacious and everything a person would need. The residents all seemed to be happy and well adjusted.

We visited Wynwood but nobody was at the reception desk so we didn’t know where to go. They’ve got the fireplaces going and everything felt homey to me. We had lunch which was very good. They spoiled me really well and I got to meet everybody. The head guy was wonderful. It’s got everything I want and need. It’s even got a physical therapy room where I can go and do things. The apartment was the biggest I’ve seen in assisted living homes. It was really nice. Even the people that live there were coming up and talking to me and they just made me feel welcome and home. I already have friends there and I would have absolutely no problem moving in there. However, they have no slot for me and I wouldn’t be able to move until August or September.

We moved mom to Wynwood of Forest Grove last July. I was really pleased with the staff when we are moving her in as they were very helpful and all went well. She likes the facility and they keep the place very clean. She likes the people and she is comfortable there. She's in a one-bedroom apartment with a little kitchenette. She is having the food delivered to her room and she likes it. After a couple of weeks, my brother told me that they were sending her bills and statements for things that she had not received and under the description of the statement it didn't explained what she was being billed for. She has a neurological condition because she has degenerative brain disease and so she started just issuing automatic payments through her online banking to the facility.
Within four weeks' time she had issued $12,000 and so I was not happy. I meet with them and they said that there had been a miscommunication and when we asked for a description of the services that she was being billed for. One of them was like chronic pain management and it said that part of that would be massage therapy and my mom said she wasn't receiving any massage therapy or any therapy. To make the long story short, they did end up removing all the charges that were on her account that shouldn't have been there and all the late fees. Hopefully from this point forward there accounting department will do a cleaner job at what they are doing.

I went to Wynwood of Forest Grove to visit a friend. It was a nice place, very casual and very friendly. They take care of the residents. They had a bus that took them shopping. They kept the residents occupied. They did well as far as the food.

I was very hesitant of a big company like this at first. To me it always felt like this was senior robbery. You look at how much people pay a month to live there and are left wondering why they didn't pay for there own caregiver at home. Then you see the light when at three in the morning grandma needs something and there are two sometimes three people coming in to check on her. We then got to go and see the dining room where they ate there meals. It was nice, almost nicer than the places I went out for dinner. The cooks were very friendly and knowledgable. The thing that impressed me was they knew what residents were on what kind of restrictive diets and accommodated all of them. Last but not least the housekeepers. If there ever is a group of people that deserves more money its them. They have to clean a lot of things and deal with things other people dont have to. I remember one time I spilled something in the room and was going to clean it up and they stopped me and cleaned it for me. All in all I believe we put my grandma in a good setting and she will be happy for years and years.

My mom used this facility before. But I would rate the center around in the middle. My mom is a very shy person and I don't feel that they'd made the effort to help her get to know other people and get used to the activities. I think they don't have enough time and staff to individualized that much. I remember she requested once to be transferred to a different table because the people she was with just kept on talking about their age and grievances and my mom doesn't like that. But the people there did not transfer her so she quit joining the group meal. They could have been nice. But overall, the facility and staff were fairly good.

Our experience with Wynwood of Forest Grove has been very good. People are very supportive, and it is a good environment. The food is average. My parents' room is nice. It has two bedrooms and two baths, and it is well-designed. They have all sorts of activities pretty much all day, every day, and that includes crafts and history. They can take free classes at some college that is nearby, and they have transportation to there, to the grocery store, and to appointments.

We are now living in Wynwood. We chose it mainly because of more square footage. I’m not that happy. They’re very intrusive; they come in at all hours day and night. I was sitting on the edge of the bed at 4 o’clock in the morning, and they came in to put paper on top of the freezer.
They do all kinds of things. They have sing-alongs; they do crafts. They go sometimes down to the casino. They go shopping every week. They take the residents to their doctor’s appointments so long as it’s west of 185th in Hillsboro. It’s a nice facility. The people are really nice. I would just rather be in my own home.

We were very impressed. The residents seemed very happy with their homes and were very friendly, as was the staff. Food at the complimentary lunch was very good, too. Rooms were nice, but the place was nearly full.

When one of my mother's closest friends moved to a Wynwood assisted living center I wondered if she would continue to live a full and rewarding life. Even my mother believed that many things would forever be changed, but happily we have both found that the Wynwood of Forest Grove, Oregon has made this woman's life much better.
The facility is quite beautiful, clean and very well maintained. There is also a very warm and inviting atmosphere that you will notice from the moment you arrive.
The early stages of Alzheimer's have had an impact on this woman's memory and ability to keep things organized. While forgetfulness may be a problem there are still many other areas where her personality, determination and abilities shine.
We have been so happy to see that the staff gives her the personalized care and assistance she needs but still allow her to be "˜her own person'. During our last visit she was so proud to lead us on a "˜grand tour' of her new home. As we walked around the building and garden areas many employees and residents came up to us, introduced themselves and took a few minutes to chat with "Miss MaryB".
It even seems that her memory has improved during her stay, but we are comfortable in the knowledge that if she ever needs to ask for help there are staff members that are always ready to respond.
