Clearwater Springs Assisted Living in Vancouver, WA
5.0 / 5.0

My mother really likes being at Clearwater Springs Assisted Living community. She has friends that she dines with and the staff are caring and friendly. However, I do think cleaning of halls could be better.

The Heights at Columbia Knoll in Portland, OR
4.0 / 5.0

I have lived here at The Heights at Columbia Knoll for almost two months, and I am still getting acclimated. Unfortunately my husband passed away shortly after I got settled in, so I have been somewhat keeping to myself and not able to get to know the facility too well, but my overall impression of it has been decent. The people are very friendly.

Hawthorne Gardens Senior Living in Portland, OR
5.0 / 5.0

My Mom due to advancing Dementia moved into Hawthorne Gardens 3 months ago from another outstanding place, (Facility Name Removed). Although the stay at Hawthorne Gardens was brief, the care she got was outstanding. The staff, at the Memory Care Unit, and I know just a few and met only a few, (Names Removed) made those last months so much nicer for my Mom. Memory Care is very much about getting the residents engaged. With a staff per resident ratio better than what an Assisted Living can do, my Mom was more involved in activities. (Name Removed) sent me pictures of outings with my Mom smiling in each picture. Although my Mom could be “picky” about food, the food that (Name Removed) and her staff prepared, Mom's comments were that the food was “good”, vs “all right”. The short time I was there, I did have the opportunity to eat there and the dinner was well done and tasty. This job that all the above do and so many others is a calling. This is not just a job, I saw
