Recent reviews of Independent Living in Polk County, OR
Junction City Retirement and Assisted Living
4.9

The staff is very friendly. The rooms are very clean. Their financially better priced that most everything else that I did look at. They are also super helpful and my dad feels at home. I am pleased with how he has adjusted, I would definitely recommend Junction City Retirement to others.

SpringRidge at Charbonneau in Wilsonville, OR
4.1

The residents are terrific as well as the staff that work there. Some of the restaurant processes are less than optimal. Could be better coordinated. The community feel is great for my mom. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend SpringRidge at Charbonneau to other families.

Holiday Madrona Hills in Salem, OR

Great facility. Wonderful, caring staff. Welcoming community. It was just the perfect size for my dad. Others might like bigger or fancier, but this was the best match for us.
