Types of care available in Sandy, OR
We chose Brookdale Vancouver Stonebrige because they gave us a complete, open door tour. No secrets of surprises. I would tell others to make sure and read all the materials and 'admission' papers.
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
Amazingly kind and friendly staff, great communication and openness to services. Great care given to each resident. I would highly recommend this facility to others.
