The staff at Rogue Valley was very cooperative and very nice. They showed me the room that was being renovated when we were there. So it was it wasn't finished, but they don't furnish them anyway so it's ok. It was being painted, but it didn't take away from the fact that the room was nice. It was on the bottom floor and it had like a little second guarded front room. It looked immaculate. The staff mentioned that the current resident of the room they showed me, sits out there on the grass patio and welcomes everybody coming into the place. There will be room for improvement. I was scheduled to be there for lunch then, but I was there early, so I just took off. I talked to a lady who just came out of the lunch area, who said they have 3 meals a day and that it's always good. I saw two different areas, the big expansive one is very comfortable-looking with sofas and chairs.

My wife and I moved into Rogue Valley. The grounds look very nice, and the apartment looks brand new. The staff are excellent as far as I can see, so far.
They have all kinds of stuff, and every day they have something. I don't do any of it, but they have bingo, bowling-type games, and puzzles -- you name it. They have a pool table, a library, and movies -- all kinds of good stuff.
The dining room is very homey. They have a good staff of people working there.
The people are very nice, and everybody seems to be excellent. I mean, you ask them about something and they get it done.

I'm planning to move to Rogue Valley in Grants Pass after July. It was the place that I could afford. It also has a deck and I wanted a deck. They're redoing my future apartment right now and re-carpeting the place. I get to bring my refrigerator and they're also redoing the bathroom. They've just been very helpful to me and I'm amazed. It's the first independent living place I looked at that I felt like, "Yeah, I could live here". There's something about the place that makes me feel like I'll be home. They have a lot of activities going on. The staff was very helpful to me during my tour and the facility was very neat and clean.

Rogue Valley was excellent. I would rate them the highest. They were absolutely incredible, everyone was very, very nice, and I would highly recommend them to anyone. I found it to be beautiful and clean, and they were all cheerful. It was just a wonderful experience.

My brother has moved into Rogue Valley, and we love it there. It's a beautiful place, and it is surrounded by nature. All around it are beautiful trees, shrubs, and flowers. There's a little place in the back behind where he lives, and he can go out the back door. There are two raised garden beds, and he can put potted plants out there and take care of it right there. He loves to garden, so that's a perfect thing for him. They also have all kinds of different things that he can do there. He can play games with different people, and they have places where he can exercise. Even though he's ninety-one years old, he likes to be active. The food there is wonderful. He's a vegetarian, and they fixed him vegetarian food; that is just wonderful. The chef there is top notch. The people we worked with were just so sweet, and you can tell they love elderly people. They love the old folks, and they really want to take good care of them. The price is high, but if you have savings and if you have some way to get the money, it's well worth what you pay. The VA will help those who are veterans. We've just been really happy about everything they've done so far. We love our brother. He came from a family of thirteen kids, so we take good care of each other. It is such a nice place that we are thinking about going there too -- and our kids are thinking about it along with us. It's a nice place to be. The staff is a "ten." They're all just wonderful. They have a lot of activities. They have an exercise class. Every evening they have some kind of activity. Last night, for instance, they took them to a restaurant and they could order whatever kind of drink they wanted, and then they took them back home. My brother, of course, would have juice because he never drinks any kind of wine or anything like that, and it's great. Sometimes they take them to the coast, and sometimes they take to see different parts of the country, so there are lots of activities. It is way too much money for us, but the VA is going to help him, so it is OK and everything is paid for.

My father-in-law is moving into Rogue Valley. It seemed really nice, and they were very polite. They help you with the check-in process. What I liked most about it, was it was very clean and didn't smell.
I only interacted with the lady who showed us the apartment. She was very nice and very helpful.
The layout of the room was good. There was plenty of room for a wheelchair and a walker going in and out of the kitchen and bathroom. The shower is accessible; it's a walk in, which is very nice. It was very spacious even for being a studio.
They showed us the dining room, which is really nice. That is about as far as we got. We saw the front entrance. They didn't show us the courtyard. I don't know if they're open right now because of Covid or if things are kind of limited. I didn't see an outside courtyard or anything like that. She expressed that they had things, but I was on my lunch break so I was kind of in a hurry. I liked what I saw.

My mom still lives at Rogue Valley, and she likes it there. It's been a little hard with the COVID, but I think it's the same for every place. They have apartments; it's not assisted living at all. They play games. They're not able to do it as much as they did, and it's more limited, but because it is your own apartment, and as long as you're able to be in an apartment, it's pretty nice.

Rogue Valley looked wonderful. In fact, me and my husband said, we wanna go there. They have independent apartments, studios, 1-bedrooms, and 2-bedrooms. And you could actually have a spouse or a partner live with you for a minimal additional cost, so that was nice. In fact, you could have pets and they provide transportation to shopping and things like that. With regard to the COVID precautions they had, they would serve the meals to the rooms rather than the dining hall, or arrange it to the dining hall area if you needed to. We liked it.

Most of the staff don't dress appropriately. Food is running out ... kitchen staff aren't using precautionary guidelines and Covid rules. Food very small portions and not a diet program for diabetics or no salt diets. Rude staff members that treat independent employees like we don't exist. Cleaning staff could and should be doing much more. Would not recommend this place.

Rouge Valley was pleasant and nice, but it was a lot older. The rooms were smaller, and I felt closed in, but the staff was wonderful, and very nice. I enjoyed talking to them. I thought the overall facility needed more attention to carpeting and cleanliness. We had difficulty locating the place. The dining area was very nice, and the food was excellent.

Rogue Valley is good and when we went into the place, my mom said "That's it, this is where I want to be," so that was the end of the search. It was pleasing and homey, and my mom felt comfortable there. The staff was very friendly and the residents seemed to be outgoing. The food and service were good. The one-bedroom apartment my mom got was almost 700 square feet so it was a really nice one with a lot of windows and natural light. It was clean and well-done, and my mom liked it. They have a whole calendar of activities and every day it changes. You get what you pay for.

Rogue Valley is very old. They need to upgrade their facility. They need to hire maybe more people to maintain the grounds. Rogue Valley is also very expensive. The staff is very friendly; however, they're too friendly, because they don't work, they just stand around and talk with each other. I also didn't see any activities. They provide three meals a day. They also have snacks and beverages. I had lunch there a couple of times; the food was only adequate.

My father liked Rogue Valley the best because of the location. It had buses that would take the residents to the doctors' appointments. Meals were provided, and they had bus trips, too. The rooms were clean, had good windows for a lot of light, and it was like a small apartment. There was a walk-in shower instead of a tub.

Rogue Valley is a very nice community, and the people are very friendly and professional. It provides GPS for all residents, so if they have emergent or even non-emergent needs, they just have to press a button. We're very happy with it. The food was healthy and delicious, but I have heard complaints in the last couple of weeks. There must have been a change in the kitchen because the residents aren't happy with the food right now, but it has been reported to management, and they're working on it. They have a lot of activities like Bingo, music, puzzles, exercise classes, but my mom doesn't interact that much.

My mom is ver happy living in Rogue Valley. It is a very social community. I expect the rent to go up, but they want to increase the rent like 6% which I thought was ridiculous. My brother and I went down there and negotiated with the assistant manager, so we were able to bring the rent increase into a more acceptable level because Mom really wants to stay there. The staff is quite nice and accommodating. They are cutting costs, so the quality of the meals isn't what it used to be. It is still quite OK, but not as fine as before. Other than that, I am happy with it if Mom is happy with it.

Rogue Valley was very clean, and everybody was very friendly; the residents as well as the employees. They had a library, a TV room, and socials. You can join in on card games or whatever was going on, and they had jigsaw puzzles out all the time. It was very clean, the rooms were very nice, the apartments were very nice, very clean, and up to date, and they didn’t look like they’ve been worn out. I’ll move there tomorrow if I can afford it.

Rogue Valley was very good. They've got a nice variety of rooms and a list of activities going on all the time. The special perk with them is if you are staying at their retirement inn, they have all over the country where you can stay for up to seven days for free. As a golfer, I'm tempted on that one, because I can go stay for free and golf in various courses, especially around Washington. They have three or four different styles of apartment. I like the way you could set them up with your furniture. They were not posh but adequate. They had bingo and cards and a schedule of activities that they set up every single day. They have available staff and two couples that live in there, which was a nice feature.

We have settled on Rogue Valley, and my mom is now living there. It is affordable and well run, it has good social structure, and the food is excellent. My mother is happy. She has been there for two and a half weeks now. Our experience has been largely positive. She is enjoying it, and she is learning the system. It has many things that she wants and uses, i.e., transportation to local shops and appointments. The biggest factor for her is that the residents are regular folks and are not too handicapped, so she can find social contacts there. It is more like an apartment building.

Rogue Valley did not have nursing care, but they have housekeeping assistance and that kind of thing. This one is in the downtown area close to shopping, and it is strictly rental basis. They do have some amenities like the ice-cream parlor and TV and that kind of thing. They have a beauty shop and some of those kinds of things available. They have the pay style meals, and they provide three a day. It was a beautiful location; it was nice and open, and there were lots of windows in their dining room. They did not have a fenced area where the dogs can run, but they had a nice walkway around. They have a regular activities director, and she has something going on for the residents every day. It was a lovely place, and I am sure that I'd be very comfortable there. They didn't have any in-house nursing facility; I think there was a nurse on the premises for an emergency, but there was no care beyond that. If you can't live on your own, then this would not be the place for you.

My unit at Rogue Valley is very modern. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They have dining halls. It’s a 3-story complex, and in the center of that point is the dining hall. It has a beautiful view out the windows, so it has pleasant dining. They have light housekeeping, and they pay for the cable TV, which is quite nice. They have everything except for medical. They provide entertainment and all kinds of games throughout the month. They schedule that for the whole month, and it’s all up on boards throughout the building to let you know of what’s coming up, and then you do whatever you like. They have a 1-bedroom and a studio, and they have different sizes. It would be nice if they could offer Oriental food. Once in a while, have grilled cheeseburgers or hamburgers, and also Mexican food would be appreciated, not too spicy, but that would be nice to add to the American cuisine.

Rogue Valley was abslutely wonderful. The staff were fantastic and they took good care of my mother for five months. They had a lot of activities although she was not able to participate in all of them. She had a large room with a bedroom and private bathroom. My mom was really pleased with everything before she passed away. I would absolutely recommend this place to other people.

Rogue Valley is a very nice facility; however, it isn’t one that I would want to live at for a couple of reasons. They just don’t have medical assistance there. I also knew about this facility because my parents were there, so I went back and see if it was still was good as it was when they were there. They were able to really enjoy the facility. The dining looked very nice. I would just have to say that it’s a nice facility as long as you do not need to have any medical care.

Rogue Valley was one of the senior facilities in our area. It was very clean and spacious. We had dinner there and it was very good. We saw several rooms. There was a one-bedroom unit that had a linoleum kitchen area and a carpeted living area with a bedroom. All of their facilities were clean and meant for the activities that they had there. They had lots of activities. The staff was warm and caring. They were fantastic. As a matter of fact, all of the residents knew the young man who showed us around. They hugged him as we were going down the hall. He even brought us dinner here at home and had kept in touch with us to know how we were doing.

I chose Rogue Valley because I could have my dog here and that I can do my own medicines and can be fairly independent. Plus, it is really a nice place. It is conveniently located wherein it is about two blocks away to the Albertson's Plaza that has quite a few things. The management is also extremely nice. They have quite a few activities but I'm not a joiner. They have activities for people who are not able to do much and also for people who are able to do more. Food here is quite good. They spice it up and make nice desserts. On the other hand, I'm just a person who was raised on very plain food. Besides, I'm allowed to cook on my own. The best thing about staying here is having my dog with me and enjoy being independent. They have also lived up to what they're supposed to do. I would recommend this place.
