Bonaventure of Gresham

Beautiful, active community.

Bonaventure of Gresham is new, but the first six months were really rough. Even though they changed managers a month and a half ago, not everything has been ironed out yet. I have one meal a day included and that has been a disaster. I think the problem is they have to follow their corporate standards, even the same menu, regardless of the location. I think they have a dining room manager now and they are finally getting their act together. If you get to the dining room at 4:30, you normally get your dinner by 5:00 and can get out of there. Otherwise, you can have your order taken, but it might be 6:00 before you get served. The dishes are not really clean, particularly the coffee cups. I like my apartment and the arrangement, but everything else could be improved. The parking is limited, and they have limited the medical rounds to twice a week. They have an elevator and the dining room is very nicely arranged.

Bonaventure of Gresham was brand new. There were in the final stages, and they just started moving-in in November. Everything was beautiful because it was brand new. I had seen a few rooms. The one I actually got on hold was on the second floor and had a little balcony which was good because I had a dog. In their package, you would get one meal a day, and you could choose whichever meal. They had full kitchens in there which were very nice. They would pay for your phone, landline, basic cable, and Wi-Fi. The only thing you would pay extra on was if you wanted to upgrade the cable. They would have day trips to the beach, casino, and up the mountain. They would also help in the doctor's appointments. They would take you shopping on certain days. They had a library and a big screen with the projector, and the seats were nice. I had seen the director, a couple of his co-workers, and the activities director.
