Weatherly Inn

Reviewer#BD0622A

We went to Weatherly Inn. We really liked everything about the community. It was a beautiful facility. The people are very nice. They had a lot of activities and they were well-posted. When you first walked in, you could see the activities that were going on that day. There was like a sign that listed them all. The residents were very friendly and several of them chatted with us, and it seemed very nice overall. The only downside that we saw to that particular place was that the two bedrooms were very small. The staff was wonderful. If my mom had come to this area, that's the one she would have chosen. The facility looks like it was in very good shape. It was very clean. It was very artfully designed and very aesthetically pleasing. It had a calm feeling to it, but it was also sort of upbeat, and it didn't feel like an old folks home. It felt more lively.

I went to see Weatherly Inn for my friend. It was wonderful. I liked all the activities that they offered. The staff was nice. They were helpful. We went to an activity fair last week, and it was nice. The facility was great. The atmosphere was very, very warm and homey. We only saw one room, a studio, and it was of good size.

I went to Weatherly Inn. It's a very interesting tour. There's a very polite lady. I enjoyed it. They have a good gym and a good library. I had lunch there. The food wasn't bad but it wasn't the best. The staff who gave the tour was very young. She was a very pleasant person and a well-groomed, nice-looking lady. The dining area was nice and very pleasant. The tables were set up nicely. It looked nice and clean. They had a lot of things to do every day. I am looking forward to that. During my tour, I was sitting at a table and then a lady dropped something, and she had to come to my table and get it, so we had a nice little visit right there. She was very pleasant, too. So it was a good experience.

I am currently at Weatherly Inn. My rent is not going to increase, so that's a good point. The dining room is close by. There seem to be quite a few activities. The staff is barely acceptable. I have a two-bedroom, 625sqft I think. They have a one-bedroom, two-bedrooms, and they also have one-bedroom deluxe and studios.

I toured Weatherly Inn and I liked that one. It's very close to the freeway and all the main stores. It's just about within walking distance. Medford's a good-sized place and that puts us close to the grocery stores or Costco, and Fred Meyer is just right around the corner, which is pretty neat. You don't have to drive too far. The staff is all wonderful. There's no doubt about it. They're very professional and super friendly. That's got to be a place that if you don't like your job there, you better get out. Some people need some real help, and we don't need somebody treating them poorly. The room was a little surprising to me. It looked kind of cramped. We were looking for two-bedroom ones. We like to work on our computers, so we need an extra room. That one-bedroom would be a fine size for a computer. The furniture we have here in our home, it would not fit into the master bedroom in the one-bedroom at Weatherly. A queen-size bed would go great, but not a king. It is very homey, warm environment. There's a piano in the dining room and somebody comes to play soft music while you're eating, which is kind of neat. The only thing about Weatherly is that in the parking area the cars are extremely close together. I don't know how many people were visiting when I went there, maybe they had an overflow of cars that day, but the car spaces seemed really close together, and turning off you'd have to have a small car to be comfortable there. If you have a big pickup truck like I've got, you have to drive in, back out a little bit, and then go back in. That's how tight it was from the other parking spaces. There's a major hospital that's just a few blocks away from Weatherly. If they have to get to the hospital quick, they're there in a moment, which is kind of nice.

The reasons why I choose Weatherly Inn are the community relation person, the tour I took, and the friendliness of all the people there. I had lunch there and they're just amazing. They are so nice and so helpful. The one meal I had there was absolutely delicious. They have a very vast alternative menu if you don't like what the daily meal is. There's a ton of other options you can choose from. They have a wide variety of activities. Every Wednesday there's outings. They have different specific activities at what they call the Popular Cafe. Like on Tuesdays it's ice cream socials, and on Wednesdays it's Happy Hour or whatever. They do a lot of different things for the residents, and they have movie nights almost every night.

Weatherly Inn would set your apartment up comfortably. They provide you with a bed and blankets. When you walk into the facility, it wasn't so plain. It looked homey and that was a big impression. We checked out the memory care and it was nice, clean, and smelled well. They had a couple of dining rooms and a big kitchen where they have little classes like making milkshakes, cooking, or baking cookies and stuff (my dad kind of smiled about that). They also had a Jacuzzi-type walk-in tub, so those that couldn't stand could get clean, and Dad liked that, too. The people were very hospitable. They didn't run him through it. They let him stroll at his own pace. They all made eye contact with him. They had the TV going and it was all relaxed. They could have snacks in the room if they wanted to.

Weatherly Inn was a nice place. It's just a little older so the rooms weren't quite as big. I was a little put off maybe by the size of the rooms, but again that's because it was built a long time ago. It was still quite lovely and it was clean. When we went into their common room where people would congregate and chit-chat (a little bit off where the dining area was), they all seemed very happy. They were all having a conflab. So, it seemed like a nice place. They had a full kitchen setup with a refrigerator and a microwave. They did not have a very large outdoor space, but there was a lawn and sidewalk between the buildings. The buildings were quite pretty. The tour person was young and energetic. She did a good job and was so sweet. She even brought us some cookies from one of their other buildings where they bake and they were delicious. The facility is located in a residential neighborhood, but they're on a very busy street.

My mother is now living in Weatherly Inn. They're overall caring, friendly, helpful, and kind. Her room is comfortable and the food is good, I had the food yesterday. They do Bible studies, and church services, go on outings and activities once a week and do chair exercises. This is the first place that I found and we just did it right away because mom loved it. The atmosphere was a loving Christian atmosphere so we chose it.

I did a tour of Weatherly Inn. The appearance was very nice. The staff was very nice too. We took about an hour's tour and things were explained. We're impressed with the neatness and more of the accommodations, as far as what they present to you, the living areas, and what's available. We saw the dining area, where it was, and the procedure for eating. It looked very clean and nice. They've got a place where you can get your hair done. There were TV rooms, people watch different things. There was an activities room where they showed us different things. I don't know what they were making, but it was something to keep the members active. We're impressed by it. If we had to make a decision today, that's probably where we would go. With living arrangements, it's more affordable. The staff were very impressionable people.

We toured Weatherly Inn. The place is perfect. Downstairs, they have memory care and it's very secure. They also have a quad they can go out on, and it's nice. It's a landscaped quad that is very secure. All the other apartments are on the second and third floors, and there's room to do whatever. I would live there if it came down to it. The thing that my wife didn't like about it is that it's in Medford. Everything is furnished except your refrigerator and stove. The one bedroom has a little kitchenette. The only thing it doesn't have is personal utensils and stuff. What I understand is that most people don't even use it because they have such a good cafeteria. They also have three meals a day, plus they have snacks during the day. The staff who toured us was great. Her name is Brittany. She was very personable and friendly. If I had a question, she answered it. She did a great job. It was right at breakfast time, and I walked through the cafeteria, and it looked great. It made me hungry, I could smell it, and everything I saw on the tables was perfect.

Weatherly Inn was elegant, spacious, and very nicely laid out. They've got very, very nice staff and the people I met who gave me the tour was excellent. Their amenities were really good. They had a beautiful theater room with popcorn every night, they have game rooms, exercise rooms, and a nice little walking path. It's wonderful. I didn't eat there but I saw the menu and it looked really good. The outdoor area is beautifully landscaped and there's a quarter-mile walking trail.

Weatherly Inn is a beautiful facility. We're looking for the spend-down operation that deals with Medicaid and that facility does not. That's the only reason we didn't like it. Not that we didn't like it, we just scratched it off our list because we need to have that. It reminded us that we kept using the word resort. It was very high end, very nice. It's fairly new, very clean, and looked like it was well run, and well-staffed. I just saw the staff from across the room. I didn't talk to them other than Grant, who was giving us the tour. The way he explained it, I think everything there is fairly organized and run well. I really think we met with the wrong person. Grant had struggled answering a lot of our questions. I don't know whether he was new or what, but he had mentioned his boss several times and I think we probably should have met with her. We really like the facility, if they have the spend-down, we probably would be going there. I think they had a beauty salon

Weatherly Inn is beautiful. It's very friendly, and they have lots of help. The staff is very helpful, very nice, and caring. The room we saw was a single room with a shared bathroom. There were private ones, but there weren't any available when we went. The room itself was very new and clean because it's a very new building. They had a room with a kitchen that the guests could actually cook with an assistant, and they could bring family in and cook for them. The dining room was big and bright, had nice big windows, and was pretty. They have a salon, ongoing physical activities, playing catch with a balloon, and television. They had lots of activities to offer throughout the day. The place was beautifully clean. Everything about it was perfect.

The Weatherly Inn assisted living community was very nice. They had excellent facilities, and it looked like they took excellent care of the people that were there. I was very satisfied with it. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. She knew exactly where everything that she needed to tell me was and what I needed to know. She answered all the questions that I needed to be answered. It was perfect, I couldn't find a better place. The dining area was nice. I'd want to live there myself. The rooms were beautiful and there was plenty of room to roam around in it. The studio apartment was nice and big. The 1-bedroom apartment was really big too. The place was very clean, nothing was out of order, and it was very nice. You can also get fed 24-7 with everything that they got. They had little snacks so if you want a snack in between their dinners, you can go get some and they'd bring it to you if you needed it or you could go get it yourself.

Weatherly Inn was a new-ish, bright and shiny place, but there was no energy. They chose grays and beiges as their color scheme. There were no people around doing anything actively, and the person who took us around was not the marketing director, so that was not her job. The grounds were pretty and all that, but it takes more than that to make a place a home. It was just not for us.

Both my parents-in-law are at Weatherly Inn and it's a very nice place. They like it there. It's very clean and their one-bedroom apartment is a pretty good size. They have a lot of amenities and activities, but they haven't done any of them yet since they've only been there a week. The staff is just very, very nice. I've also eaten there and the food was very good. They aren't too expensive as well.

I was able to visit the Weatherly Inn in Medford. It went very well except with the same problem with the other facilities, because of the Covid, I was not allowed to see much of the place. Both from the outside and the little part that I saw from the inside, it was very nice and it looked clean and tidy. It appeared to be very well maintained. I only saw one person there and she was very friendly, nice and helpful. No one offered me any food. I really couldn't tell the layout because I was just in a very, very small portion of it. I've got some literature about them but frankly I would really preferred to be in Ashland rather than Medford so this place is down at the bottom of my list just because of its location. However, the very small portion of it that I saw though looked very nice. Everything looked clean, the furniture looked modern and well cared for. It just looked like a nice place.

I had visited Weatherly Inn before COVID. Their assisted living community is brand-spanking new; it is very attractive. The staff offered us lunch but my daughter had to get back to work. But they were very willing to have us try a meal there, and very courteous. The person who accommodated us was delightful, I had no problems with the facility.

I love Weatherly Inn. The gentleman during the tour was great. I didn't feel rushed. He answered tons of questions, took time with me, sat with me way before we went on the tour, sat with me after the tour, and gave me a lot of information. He has constantly been checking up on my mom, seeing how she's doing. I really liked it. The facility itself was beyond clean. The workers were very friendly. I didn't get a chance to eat any meal, which they had tried to schedule. The food looked good and I was extremely impressed with the menu. It almost to a degree reminded me of a very nice hotel as far as the downstairs area and their dining room. I was just very impressed. They do the housekeeping, they take people grocery shopping, to the movies and casinos, they have weekly movie streaming, and they offer church services on Sundays. Every floor has an area for cards and crafts, they have a very large library, and they play bingo.

Weatherly Inn was very nice. The people were nice to talk to. The lady who assisted us was very nice and very congenial. We really appreciated her. The food was very good too. However, Weatherly Inn is strictly apartment living, so it's not what we're looking for. We don't want apartments because we have four dogs and one cat.

Weatherly Inn was a very nice place, I would recommend it to anybody else. The dining, laundry, rooms, and personnel were very nice. If my father was qualified, we would have chosen that for sure. They had a lot of activities on their activity calendar, like tours and visiting entertainment.
