Gresham Manor

Gresham Manor was very clean and the people were wonderful. The dining area looked clean and the food was good. They have activities when I was there like seniors putting puzzles together, and some residents were watching TV. The person who gave me the tour was very nice, knowledgeable, and explained the whole thing.

Gresham Manor was very comfortable, well kept-up, and very well staffed. The staff who toured me around was knowledgeable, she told me the things that were offered, and what I can do for myself if I wanted to. I'm pleased with it. They have a training room for exercise, and they have card games, pool, and Wii.

Gresham was very good. I was treated well by Brandy who gave us the tour. I intend to go back and sample the food we were offered. It was clean, well-kept, and well represented. I think my parents would do well.

This used to be a wonderful place. My parents spent a couple of very happy years here. It is under new ownership and they've moved the managers off site. Thy no longer live in. There is no longer 24 hour security. They've been given a pendant to wear around their neck instead to call for help in the night. It's a very old building and corporate has stated there will be no more money being invested in updating. Corporate no longer cares about the care and safety of its residents. It costs a tremendous amount of money each month for so little they are now receiving. Think very carefully before putting your loved one in this facility.

Gresham was excellent as well as the staff. Everything looks really nice and perfect. The representative was very personable.

Gresham Manor is great. All the staff was awesome and very nice to her. She stayed for a couple of nights and enjoyed most of it. She is a little picky about food because she is diabetic; she is saying some of it were a little too salty. They have lots of different activities, various clubs that they can go to, movie nights, cards, games, and gatherings -- whatever you want.

We went and visited Gresham Manor. We actually put a deposit down to rent a room. Then, my mom ended up back in the hospital and had to stay in an extended-care facility. Gresham Manor was really nice. When we had put the deposit down, the obligation had been for three months. They actually refunded everything to us because it was obvious that the place was not going to be a good fit for her. My mom had loved the place when we had taken her to see it. However, we would have had to get all kinds of outside contractors to come in to bathe her and do all kinds of stuff. Gresham Manor was wonderful, and they were concerned. It looked really nice. My mom had picked out a pretty nice room with a little balcony. I had liked their rooms better than the other places that I had visited. The staff was wonderful, especially the live-in manager. They had activities. They had a room where you could re-pot your plants and so forth. They had a game room and an exercise room. They had a library. Plus, they had a wonderful, big dining hall that had the view of the lights of Portland. I think the people would choose their food off of a menu. When we had gone there, we had seen people playing games and doing things. Based on the way that they had treated us (and in reality, they did not have to), the fact that they had refunded our money, and so forth, I would give them high marks. It was just unbelievable that they would go an extra mile for us.

Some of the staff was nice enough, but some weren’t all that nice and acted like they weren’t really thrilled to be there. I didn’t tour but asked for either drawings or pictures of the different apartments. That’s how I looked at them first, and then I would compare them. Gresham had rather small apartments and a limited choice of the types of apartments you could live in. They could improve on the food.
