The Best Senior Living Communities in Gladstone, OR

"We went to Glenmoore Gracious Retirement Living. They have two-bedroom, two-bathroom units, but none are available at this time. They had a very nice dining room. The building and its surroundings were very nice. We had lunch there, which was pretty good. The staff seemed pretty good, too."

"My disabled Mom had maggots and flies in her room, so needless to say the housekeeping is non existent. They find a way to blame the resident for all of the staff's shortcomings. "

"We were impressed with MorningStar Assisted Living & Memory Care of Happy Valley. I think that's my favorite for my mom. It was very clean, very bright, very open, and the people we encountered were extremely friendly. It felt like the residents had a lot of freedom as to obtaining meals when they wanted and what they wanted. The rooms that we saw were very spacious. We like the feel of it overall, and the location is really nice for us. The staff who gave us the tour was very knowledgeable. The studio was open and not staged, but we saw a one-bedroom and a two-bedroom that were staged, so you could see a layout of how furniture would fit and such, so that was helpful. They sent us home with a little pastry, which was nice. We'd like to take my mom out there and do a meal and a tour with her at some point in the near future. We saw the opportunity for residents to do everything from reading, and there's an opportunity to have your nails done and your hair done. They have a massage location, and somebody can come in and do massages. They also have games. They have an activities director. Lots of different activities and events were going on. It was also beautifully decorated for Christmas; it was very classy looking."

"My daughter-in-law will move into Sellwood Senior Living. I was impressed at how bright and cheerful the facility was. The staff was very friendly. Any time a staff member passed my daughter-in-law they would greet her and introduce themselves. They invited us back for lunch. The meal was really good. The studio apartment that she will likely be in is nice and roomy, and it just hit me as a very nice facility. I was able to taste their food. The gal told me that they don't use salt, they use just spices. And it wasn't spicy to the taste, but it was very flavorful. The facility was very clean. It looks like it had been upkept. The residents were coming and going because it's in the downtown area type thing, and they seemed very lively. I encountered one other person and I asked her how she liked living there, and she said she really enjoyed it, that they were welcoming. I just got a good feeling."

"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! "

"Oswego Place is clean with nice sized rooms for my single dad. The staff is compassionate and caring, a wonderful team. They encouraged him to join group activities to help him integrate and meet people. They managed his confusion well, successfully redirecting him when needed. It was a great place for him as he transitioned to higher care needs."

"I have a family member who lives at Arcadia Senior Living. I appreciate the care and support that they have given my family member. I was at a loss of where I could take my family member because all other facilities turned her down due to her high acuity. But Arcadia was wonderful and made the transition go so smoothly and my family member is thriving due to the love and support and excellent care she is receiving. I highly recommend Arcadia Senior Living to anyone who needs a place to call home. "

"Brookdale River Valley Tualatin was a nice place. My interaction with the staff was good. The menu and the dining area were very nice. The size of the rooms was good. The parking and the common areas were very nice. I just had a good feel for that place."

"The staff is very friendly and accommodating. We feel very at home with them taking care of my mother. "

"When we first started looking for a place for my mom, we were overwhelmed and unsure of what to expect. From the moment we walked into Markham House, something felt different. The staff greeted us with warmth, took time to answer every question, and made my mom feel seen and valued. Now, a few months in, she’s made friends, joined activities, and calls it her “new home.” Watching her smile again has been everything. We’re so thankful we found Markham House."

"My mother-in-law will move into Brookdale Oswego Springs Portland. Everyone from the front staff to the office staff to even the kitchen staff was very, very welcoming. They've been extending that hand to my mother-in-law when we went to have her see what it was like. It was wonderful. It's a small enough community that you don't feel overwhelmed with a lot of people. There are 60 rooms there, and five to six activities on the schedule every single day if you want. Everything about the place was just wonderful. Many different areas of the place have a meeting room where there are arts and crafts or singing movie night. It's a one-bedroom apartment with plenty of room. There's a courtyard all the way around the unit. In the back, there is a seating area outside, which is in a lovely forest. Inside, there is a library where they also show movies. There's a common room where they have exercises and games and all kinds of things in that room, different tastes, etc. There are several of those rooms throughout the place. Everywhere you look, you see green trees and flowers. We had a meal, and it was delicious. There were choices on the menus, so you didn't have one thing for each part of the meal. You had choices within the menu to make, depending on your taste."

"The Courtyard at Mt.Tabor was very nice. I liked it because there was a lot of space. There were two memory care facilities there. I loved them both because there was a lot of room. Activity directors were there and working. It seemed like everybody was enjoying themselves, and they were happy, which was important to me. They looked like they were content and smiling, so they were comfortable. What I liked about this one are the colors, which were green. It looked very nice and was well-kept. I liked the way it was laid out so that the memory care patients couldn't get lost because they just went around a circle. I like the rooms. I like everything about it. Their staff was very attentive. They were all very friendly and had smiles on their faces. They seemed to be doing their job and liking it."

"Bonaventure of Tigard was wonderful. I liked that all the rooms were big and all of them were different from each other. And also, they were beautiful. I like everything about it except that it's way too expensive. The staff members were wonderful. Everything was fabulous."

"I am at Cherrywood Village and I am very happy here. They keep the place spotless. The facilities are kept up very nicely. They're adding elevators right now so that we have two elevators in each one of our high-rise buildings. We practice the Fish Philosophy, which is taking care of each other. So, the staff takes care of us and we take care of them. I have a one-bedroom and it has plenty of room. Even the studio apartments are adequate. We get three meals a day and they are very good. We have a rotation every five weeks. So, the menus that we have are different for the five-week period. We're back to having excursions now every Wednesday. That includes going to the theater, to the grocery shopping two days a week, or to medical appointments on Tuesdays and Thursdays (with free transportation). We have a concierge, a theater, a beauty shop, and nail care. There's something going on all the time. There's bingo nights, all kinds of card playing all the time, and a book club."
