Assisted Living Reviews for Elite Care at Fanno Creek

April 18, 2018

I visited this facility

I visited Elite Care at Fanno Creek. The care seemed nice and the people were very pleasant. The staff members seemed nice. They showed us a pleasant, adequate one-bedroom apartment with a bath. It's a corner unit so it probably got the most light you're going to get in the place; that's why I put a deposit on it. They had different activities, but I was more interested in the living conditions, their food, and medical care because my husband needs quite a bit of care. The dining area was pleasant, more casual, and more homey. It was like someone's family patio, which was a nice feeling. They have benches to sit on and a big table to eat on. They mentioned activities in their catalogue; they were nice. They also take people for outings.
Provider Response
Thank you so much for your kind words. I am pleased that you were able to visit our community, and had a pleasant, informative tour. Spring is now in full swing, and our garden, along with outside activities, are going to be more frequent. Don't forget to tell your friends and family about us, and/or invite them to some of our fun activities. Can't wait to see all the new faces this season will bring.

Fanno Creek (Elite Care at Fanno Creek) is an older facility that seems to have a very experienced, flexible staff. We like the layout of the facility the best. The rooms are all around the edge and a very large community area is in the middle, so there aren't any halls to get lost in. When you step out of your room, you’re in the main community area. Fanno Creek seemed to be the most flexible with diet. They said that the kitchen is open 24 hours a day, and for memory patients that’s important because their time schedule can get all out of whack. If they want something in the middle of the night, then the chef will cook it for them, so that seems attractive. The cost was very reasonable. The reason why we didn’t go with them is because they’re rather far away from us, but other than that, we really liked the facility.

Elite Care did not have any written information to give to us and the staff member that was supposed to meet us wasn't there. I did not like the facility very much and thought it was very mediocre. They did have someone gave us the tour, but the staff member got confused. The place was just OK, not great. I would not put my mom there. The rooms were small as I recall. I think they had several activities, like bingo and church.

I visited Elite Care. I thought the rooms were nice, but when we walked into the place, I thought it was disgusting. Where you go up the elevator was ugly-looking. I didn’t like this facility at all. They didn’t have a reception area. I didn’t like the dining area, which was just one big table with a kitchen around it. It didn't look like there was anything for the residents to do. I was very disappointed.

Elite Care was clean, gorgeous, and seemed to have a lot of good amenities. The staff was helpful in getting my mom around to her day-to-day activities.

Elite Care was referred by Caring.com and by far was the best one. It was more like a home. They have 24 rooms in a house in two halves of the facility, so there’s a total of 48 rooms. The rooms are OK. The way they approach care is different. Everybody eats their meals together, and the chef cooks in front of you. You can talk to the chef, it’s all open, and the rooms kind of feed into the dining/living room area. No matter what stage the Alzheimer’s spouse is, the other one stays with him. The grounds are much more user friendly, they’ve got chicken around, and they have a huge garden. I think it was very different from the ones I’ve been to.

Fanno Creek, like its sister facility in Milwaukie called Oatfield Estates, has an interesting story. The owners were quite the darlings of the person-center care movement, which was strong in Oregon about five years ago. The couple"”Bill Reed and Lydia Lundberg, were looking to find a place for a parent, so they built their own facility"”with the goal of creating the kind of place they would like to live in themselves. They also created a technology that would allow family members to get updates and status reports online from anywhere in the country, even checking their whereabouts and activities and vital signs. As part of this electronic monitoring, a bell is activated when a resident tries to leave or rings a call button"”and there's also a record of how people responded and how long it took. Actually, very few people do it, but it does give some people peace of mind. The owners are also very interested in green and sustainable"”all the facilities are LEED-certified. The care concept is like roquefort dressing: people love it or hate it; there is no in between. The ones who are unhappy with the care feel that the staff isn't adequately trained in memory care, that the facility is understaffed and not well maintained. The idea was to give a high level of attention to people with memory care issues and improve the quality of their lives to extend them. But the facility is not licensed as memory care facility"”only as a residential care facility, which means it doesn't need to comply with some of the more stringent staffing and building safety requirements. Fanno Creek is the second facility Reed and Lundberg built, and it is also not licensed for memory care. It includes the electronic monitoring, but only two houses, with one central kitchen. To be green, they have installed Astroturf on the grounds to conserve water instead of groundcover or grass, but the look ad feel of that is offputting to some. The construction is funky"”which is not in keeping with the high cost. The food is good and mostly organic and fresh"”and effort is put into it. The staff does a nice job with the residents and tries to find out who they are and what would work for them. But the staffing seems light, given the care needs of the residents. With Fanno Creek, there is a feeling that the owners are resting on their laurels, but have not adjusted to what works and what hasn't"”and they haven't evolved.
