10 Best Independent Living Communities in Scofield, OR

The facility was fine. Clean and well maintained. The issues we had were due to it being too modern for a person Mom's age, 96. No landline phone or cable tv. Cell phones and streaming to get the channels she used to watch. Very difficult to teach someone that age to stream. I have friends my age that have trouble‚ it really was frustrating for her. Her after surgery, life was hard on her. The activities were okay. Not as many as the facility she came from, but that was independent living. The residents at Holi don't seem to be as interested in activities. The housekeeping was good. The lady we always saw clean Mom's room was wonderful. A very nice and helpful lady who always kept mom's room clean. The people who helped Mom with her daily living were also very kind. Always cheerful and Mom liked the vast majority of them. The move in went smoothly with no problems. The food was probably better than we heard about, but not what I would say is a strong point. The daily specials were often something that older adults would probably not choose if they had a choice. Their secondary menu selection was very poor. I personally would not have been happy with most of the food and meals myself. Where Mom came from, and where we moved her to, had menus that are far superior. All that being said, we are thankful that Holi stepped up and sped the process along when she was discharged from rehab. That's another story. I'll never forgive the insurance company involved. As far as recommending them, my Mom's situation was unique. Finding a place for her with her medical need was tough. A person with an Ostomy issue has a big obstacle in finding a place. Other than that, she was active and really missed her old life doing things. From my perspective, a lot of the residents that we saw were closer to nursing home than assisted living. We would tell people that. We wouldn't just badmouth them.

It is a big facility, just really top notch but expensive. They have independent living, assisted living and memory care. The memory care and assisted living residents have their own section, own dining room, sitting room and activities rooms. So as a general rule they are not roaming around the facility. I lived there for a year and it was so very nice, but just way out of my price range.

I wish that I could give them a 10/5 on everything! The staff were absolutely incredible, and seemed to genuinely care about my aunt. They were kind, patient and firm with her. The food was healthy, she had a nice big studio apartment, and the grounds are beautiful. We did not worry about her one bit once she started living at The Ackerly.
