    I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

    BEWARE before housing your loved ones here!! My Grandmother lives here and she has the past few years.. Yesterday she had to make a visit to the ER because the night before last she fell in her bathroom, she hit her panic button and no one came... For TWELVE HOURS she laid on the floor pushing that button! All night long and not a single person noticed or checked on her. When they came on shift in the morning, STILL no one noticed right away. This is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. It would be one thing if this was the first time it happened but it wasn't! She had also fallen once before and spent an entire hour on the floor pushing her button! These people don't care about your cherished loved ones they only care about the bottom line. If you're in the market, consider looking elsewhere where your family can get the care they need and deserve.

    I visited this facility

    Friendsview is a Christian community and we liked that. We liked the atmosphere of the facility. I've eaten there several times and we liked the food. There wasn’t much that we didn’t like about this facility. They have a variety of different size homes or apartments to select. Their prices were reasonable than some others that we had looked at and they have the ongoing care.

    I am/was a resident of this facility

    Friendsview is a community of retired folks living in Newberg, Oregon. It is a continuing care community which has a Health Center for those needing care beyond what is provided in the regular housing. It has a large building which houses most of the people living there plus other housing including two different duplex complexes for those who want to live in housing that is more like ones own home. The financial structure consists of an entrance fee and monthly fees which vary depending on the kind of facility one chooses to occupy. It is important to know that the entrance fee is non-refundable after living there for more than a year. One may, if they choose, move out, but the entrance fee will not be re-funded. Meals are provided in the main building which are paid for in the monthly fee, those in duplexes aren't on the meal plan but may purchase individual meals in the dinning room with reservations. Other costs when living in a duplex are gas/heating bills, electric bills, phone bills, and other incidental costs. The lawn and other areas are maintained by contracted services as are the needs experienced when living in the facilities, like lighting or repair of plumbing, etc. Laundry facilities are available for those who live in the "high-rise" and washer/dryer are found in the duplexes. A number of activities are available including weekly religious services, activities of several kinds, classes, recreational activities, bus service to local stores and trips to other places of interest locally and in the greater region. The staff maintains the book keeping and the collection of fees and provides information when requested. There is a group gathering periodically for all residents to inform them of things that are of interest and importance to them and to give them voice for their concerns. These are then taken to the governing board for their understanding and information. Most of the residents find Friendsview a good place to live and enjoy the opportunities that are available to them. When wanting to get more information it is important to record all the questions you want to have answered and to be ready to ask others that come to mind. It's important to inquire about any aspect of potential residency and to not be satisfied with vague answers or those which fail to fully answer the questions asked.

    I am a friend or relative of resident

    My parents have been residents for many years, beginning in independent living and now in assisted care. I live in New York and can only see them a few times each year. They are cared for very well and are always happy. They comment frequently about the kindness of the staff and enjoy the other residents.

    This facility's lawn is very well-manicured, the entrance is welcoming, and the entire place is clean. The staff seemed sweet and caring towards their residents. I was impressed with the garden area where residents could maintain their own little garden plot. I attended a few of the events held within the facility, mainly the church services and movie nights, all of which were greatly anticipated and enjoyed by the residents who attended. My friend who I would visit at Friendsview seemed pleased with living there, though I did notice that her room was slightly on the small/cramped side. I was impressed by the organization in unit separation (based on the level of care needed). Lastly, I enjoyed a few meals in the dining area and they were quite delicious.

    Every time we visited the staff was courteous and helpful. The facility was always clean and orderly including any of the residents' rooms that we visited. Outdoor areas are always well cared for and beautiful; including the walking paths which provide a great opportunity for exercise and a change of scenery.We have eaten different meals there and always found the dining area clean and well organized and the food to be good. The facility even catered a meal for a group of ours when we were having a memorial service and they provided a private dining area so that we could sit together, reminisce, and not bother the residents. They were very accommodating.We usually called ahead to let them know that we were coming and this is a practice I have always recommended - but I don't think that it is necessary. This may be part of why our experience has always been favorable.There always seems to be a full calendar of special events and it seems as if the nearby college is well involved with student groups visiting from time to time and providing services and entertainment. The college is a great asset as it is just across the street and provides other opportunities for exercise, sight-seeing, as well as concerts and theater events. Great location! Newberg is a quiet and charming little town too!

    I am a current client of this provider

    We are retiring from a ranch life in Colorado and we looked at few other facilities and this is the one that we chose for different reasons. The major reason for this decision is because it's near our 3 grandchildren, son-in-law and our daughter. In a retirement community, you will be with people your age and it's nice to have some younger people visit you in the area. We also chose this place because my wife likes to have a little grass around for gardening. We got a house that is part of a duplex and its rights across from the green from the main community center. The third reason is that the food is really good. The best that we found among the facilities that we visited. The staff there is accommodating and the sales manager was very helpful and even went to lunch with us. The room is not that big. We are just a couple and I personally do not think we need a very spacious place. What is important is that it has all the things that we need.

    I am a past client of this provider

    I lived in the above community for seven years and was a 24/7 caregiver for my wife for three of those years. The facility is well run with a Health Center for those who need semi-skilled care and many opportunites for enjoyable activities. However the initial cost of an entrace fee (non-returnable) and the monthly costs continue to increase. It seemed wise for me to move out as my finances were being used up more rapidly than was feasable even though it meant I would loose the $150,000 entrance fee.
