The Best Senior Living Communities in Hillsboro, OR

"When we went to Brookdale Forest Grove, we both looked at each other and said, "Yes, this is the one." because there were people around. People were talking to each other. The other places we went to had no people. The staff was very good. They were very friendly and they weren't in a hurry. They were willing to talk to us. I've eaten there twice, and both times, I was very satisfied with the food. It was a very good meal. The place was very well-kept and clean. I didn't smell anything unusual. The room my husband is getting is a little large for him, but he's on a waitlist for a smaller room. The rooms are nice."

"I've known Creekside Village Retirement for a long time. I like the manager and I like the room. There's a garden space, too. I've always liked the community and its location. There are lots of activities. I'm looking forward to the exercise classes. I'm sure there are nicer facilities there, but the others cost a whole lot more money, too, while this one is affordable for us."

"I chose Elms Retirement Living Center for my mom. Upon walking in, I felt like they were welcoming us and not judging. It's privately owned, so it doesn't have that corporate feel. For them, everybody is an individual and unique, so they assess and listen to what you have to say. Their food is awesome, too. Everyone is amazing, especially the worker guys. My mom likes hanging pictures and they do all of that for you because they want the responsibility, and they're very, very patient and wonderful. They have a pretty chock-full calendar every month that they publish. They have soda nights or ice cream nights. They have art classes, religious classes, and music appreciation. They have a lot of indoor activities. The only thing I can say about their external activities is you can't go on them if you have a walker or even a fold-up walker. Mom has a 1-bedroom apartment and it comes with a refrigerator, a 4-burner stovetop, and a little pantry off the kitchen. It has built-in shelves as well as a long hanging area rack. Every room has a balcony. They're redoing the balconies right now, and they're doing it in such a manner that it doesn't disrupt daily life for anybody. They have an air conditioning unit and everything else is free. They have cable TV, but if you want Internet, you do have to get your own Internet."

"Prestige BH goes way beyond with this winter storm they don’t have electricity since Saturday to Thursday. My love ones are not neglected during this time. All the staff are amazing and handle the situation with a big smile. I highly recommended this facility with there awesome service with our love ones!"

"Edgewood Downs is a blessing. Clean and nice facilities and rooms, great food (according to my dad- he loves the ever changing menu options!), and inclusive atmosphere. The residents are active and my dad always has multiple fellow residents with whom he shares meals, watches movies, and exercise. Joyce was especially incredible as we navigated the transition to independent living. She made it seamless, keeping up regular communication and through professional, empathetic support for me and my dad."

"I visited Edgewood Point Assisted Living. We were very impressed with the tour manager, Ellen. Everyone was nice, offered to help, and seemed competent. The cleanliness was very good. It's kind of a jump from living in a separate home to a place that's similar to a hotel or a motel. It seemed quiet enough, though. It's not as if they are too close and too loud. We saw a larger room, which was very impressive, and quite a good bathroom and bedroom. We saw a smaller one, which was more like a large motel room."

"Washington Gardens Memory Care is small and has very nice individual rooms with a bathroom between the two. There are two common dining areas, so it’s split in half; there’s one on one side and one on the other side, so it’s very cozy because the number of people are not so overwhelming. They have activities every day. The people working there are very good and looks like they’re doing a really good job. It looks very nice and very clean. We’ve looked at many places, but we like this one the best. "

"Great place, caring staff... they do a difficult job with care and compassion "

"What a Great community! Very homey and warm. Residents are smiling and going about their business with friends. Staff is Friendly and very helpful. The community is clean and inviting. I plan on visiting more often!"

"Cedar Crest Alzheimer's Special Care Center is, by far, one of the better places out there. My sister was there for respite care, and they took a step above by making sure that not only was my sister in a good facility for care, but that I felt okay to do what I needed to do for two weeks. She's my oldest sister, we're the last two, and they put my mind at ease at a care facility that would take care of her needs. Their staff was really good. The director came out that very first morning when I called them, saying I'm in a crunch for time and I have to be somewhere in a week. She came out that morning, and she was a very pleasant person. The guy who does the intake came out the next day and made sure that the paperwork was good. They got a hold of the doctors, her medical stuff, and got everything set in place in less than a 24 hours. I was dealing with this one other place, and it took two weeks with them to keep dropping the ball. The pricing was also right here. They're all in the same range, but all these other places wanted to charge me a month for a two-week respite. This place just charged me for a 2-week respite. They went above and beyond the call of duty. That is what a facility should be doing. They should not only make sure that their client or resident is in a good situation, but also that the family at home feels like they have placed them in a good place. If my sister ever has to be in a facility situation again for whatever reason, this facility would be my choice, and they would be my choice to tell anybody else looking for it. It's a very excellent place, and a very excellent choice for me. My sister said the meals there are wonderful, and the place reminded me of a resort. It didn't look like I was putting my sister in an old folk home, and she wasn't in some kind of hospital-type facility. The staff was excellent there. I didn't meet all their staff, but the ones I did were cordial. The rooms were clean. They had two dining areas, they served them food, and they kept them busy. My sister had a great time. She was glad to come home, but she also said she'd love to go back. She met people, and they have activities to do. That has to say something for the facility itself. If you're in a situation like my sister's, how many people would say that if they had to, that would be where they'd go? That place is just far above the standards. I can't think of anything that was there that wouldn't have been a 5-star. They went on a bus trip, they had music situations, and they did a lot of exercise. The staff also finds a fit for what the residents like to do. For instance, my sister likes word searches, so they made sure that she had that. It just wasn't like shoving somebody to a table and throwing a bunch of puzzles, and there you go. These people were very cordial and friendly. They hadn't seen me in two weeks, but after the two weeks of her stay there, they knew who I was as I walked through the door. I said I'm going to get my sister, and they remembered who I was. It's a pretty big house, 45 people or more. There had to be more because that place is bigger than that, so that was cool."

"I liked Prestige Senior Living Riverwood. It was quiet and closer to my daughter, so they could visit. I really enjoyed that. It was very well put together and it had the facilities that I would need if I were not independent. I don't have anything that I was dissatisfied with. They allowed all of the things that I would like to do and maybe take a kitty along with me if I can and live in one of their one-bedroom or studio apartments if I needed assisted living. The staff seemed very comfortable, knowledgeable, and helpful. I saw their menu, and I was happy enough with that. It seemed adequate for what I would need and I like the idea of having a menu so that I could choose the food because I'm diabetic. The facility was very nice and clean. The atmosphere was peace and quiet. The sizes of the rooms and the layout were adequate for me."

"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."
