We have chosen Homewood Heights for my mom. They're signing the contract soon. I put in a deposit. We looked at others, but that's the one my mom liked the best right away. We met the people in-person. They were able to show my mom the room, which is really great. They have patio rose bushes out the window, so she is all excited about that. I don't like roses, but my mom does. It is very pretty. It is a small community of about 40 clients. They gave my mom a taste of their dinner and she just loved it. The people were really nice. The facility was beautiful.

I placed my brother in Homewood Heights and I love it. The staff members that work there are excellent and the activities are good. His room there is excellent as well. Some of their amenities include an activities room, and they have a nice outside area or a garden area. They also have a library. They supply laundry services, room cleaning, and meals. The food there is also excellent. They have good activities but they could have maybe a little more variety, like more excursions. His room is clean, bright, and warm.

My parents are at Homewood Heights. They have a nice staff. I'm there to visit my parents, but I have a very good rapport with the manager. The front desk lady is great. Everybody that you talk to is very helpful and friendly. I think some of the food is really good, but some of them I don't like so much. They have a lot of activities. My mom does the word games, the exercises, and the vine master. She likes it all; she likes the brain challenge games. The place has 42 rooms. It is a small group of people, so it is very much like a community, and that's what my parents like.

Homewood Heights is all assisted living. It’s OK, but kind of pricey, generic, and very basic. Everybody is always nice, especially when they know you’re coming.

My mother has had excellent care within this community for 3 years. I especially appreciate that each prson on staff knows and uses the name of each resident when addressing them. Also, the care plans are carefully reviewed with the resident's family contact each 90 days or sooner if needed. A time and date is mailed to the family contact to make sure it will work. This makes for a great communication between staff, resident and family. It has been good for my mom that this is a relatively small community compared to larger facilities, so she feels at home and not overwhelmed. I drive a distance to see her but would not even think of moving her away from this wonderful setting.

My 92 year old mother moved into Homewood Heights July 6th. She had lived in her private home for over 67 years and alone for the last 11 years. This was a huge change for her. But Melody, Nancy, Sharon and the entire staff, kitchen, care givers and maintenance have been wonderful in making her feel welcome and cared for. She has met many of the other residents who are fun and seem anxious to get to know her. My mother has an eating difficulty and Ricio, the head chef, has wonderfully accommodated this and she is now eating more and gaining back her strength.
Thank you all HOMEWOOD HEIGHTS.

My parents moved into Homewood Heights about a month ago. I like the place. It was smaller than average -- only about 44 rooms. My mom and dad really appreciated that. They seemed to be liking their apartment pretty well. We had a little bit of trouble moving in because the lady who was supposed to vacate the apartment didn’t move out. Overall, they are in an apartment that like now, and they are pretty satisfied. I think their activities are okay for people their age. The only thing that I don’t think they do enough is that they only take their buses out shopping one day a week instead of two, and I think they need to do that two days a week. The staff are pretty good. As far as the surroundings, that is one of the reasons why mom chose it. They have lots of trees and grass.

I liked Homewood very much. The building was nice. The rooms were very nice. They had a one-bedroom and two-bedrooms. The food was very good. The people who were there seemed happy and friendly. I think it was within my budget, and I was seriously considering it.

My mom seemed to be happy in Homewood Heights. My brother is near her so he can check on her at anytime. I visited the place and saw that it was real nice, beautiful, well-maintained and quiet. It had a cafeteria and a nice, little visiting area for the family.

This beautiful facility at Homewoods has a wonderful outdoor seating area where residents can enjoy a view of the boats and water sports on the river. The food in the dining room is delicious, and if someone needs a smaller/ larger portion or substitute orders the chef has no problem with it. The exercise room is popular as well as the activities scheduled every day.There is scheduled transportation to medical appointments, shopping and trips to museums and fairs.Residents that want to garden have custom made raised beds available for their use. Pets are allowed and encouraged with a beautiful dog walking area set aside just for the pooches comfort and safety.The health center is on the same property for short or longer stays in the event of a health crisis or a higher level of care becomes necessary.At Homewoods on the Willamette they have everything anyone would need for comfortable truly golden years.
