Koelsch Senior Communities

Many years ago I brought Communion to many of the residents here at Sterling Inn, not ever realizing that I would someday be a resident myself. I hope the people I mention get recognition for the excellent way in which they conduct themselves. First there is ROBIN [removed] who made the move in process so simple and easy (although there is all that paper work needed to be done). Second there is DON, Executive Director who is not afraid to get in there and help. Talk about hands on...that's Don! Third there is GIO and LARRY in maintenance that are so willing to help you in your concerns, no matter how small. THREE CHEERS GUYS!!! Fourth there are the AIDES who are so COMPASSIONATE to these older folks, especially MITCH who is like a son to many of these folks. Fifth there is JOSHUA and his sister ERIN in food handling...so gentle to our elderly who begs for being treated like a human being. Thanks CHEF PAUL for your good food. Now we can't forget the WELCOMING FRONT DESK...KIM thanks for your patience, and all your HELPERS. I salute all of you!!!

Copper Creek Inn is a really good facility. She is happy there. She would like more choices in food but the food is fine. She is adjusting to having a roommate. Otherwise it is pretty good. She is mixed in with care levels 1-4. She doesn't like being with some of the higher level care patients. Those are just some of her complaints though. It is really a nice place. This facility is better than what we have seen anywhere else.

My loved one has only been here a short time, but so far we're very impressed by what we've seen! The facility is always very clean, and it always smells very nice! The care staff is friendly and professional, and they same to take great care of the residents! We're very satisfied with our choice!

My aunt is staying at Spring Creek Inn and is doing very well there and really liking it. My sister tells me that my aunt is the cleanest that she has been in a long time, so it really sounds like they are doing a really good job taking care of her.

I visited the Arbor Hills Memory Care one time but It was fine. The facility was very clean and well kept. The staff was very friendly and welcoming.

After seeing a commercial on TV called " A Place for MOM " I contacted them and spoke with Grace, she was so helpful in my search for assisted living for my mother. Grace gave me contact information for all the facilities located in the Longview/Kelso area. The Canterbury Inn was one of the facilities she directed me to and there I made contact with Kris, she took my husband and I on a tour and gave us all the information we needed. We were so impressed with the facility and it's employees, the beautiful areas and the very nice apartments. We took mom for lunch and to see how she liked it and she will be moving in shortly. We cannot thank Grace and Kris enough for making this emotional journey with us. I feel The Canterbury Inn is going to be a wonderful home for my mother. Thanks again.

We are happy with my mother-in-law's care at the Hampton Inn. She enjoys the activities (especially singing), and is constantly commenting about "all the nice people there". When I am visiting she is often greeted by name by a staff member walking past us. We appreciate the willingness of the staff to work specifically w/ her needs to see she has the best of care and quality of life.

I prayed for help for my family to be able to make the best decisions for Grandma and Papa. I feel like the Garden has been a huge part of that. It seems ever since Papa started to visit on a respite basis that the answers have come bit by bit as they have been needed. Now he lives at this lovely facility I sort of feel bad calling it a facility because it is much more than that to us all. It is Papa's home. Each of the family members are met where they are at in the process toward acceptance of our situation. The staff are well picked and seem happy at their careers and therefor exude that to the residents. Papa is the happiest I have seen him in years. I only hope we can find a place like this for Grandma that will fit her needs as well when the time comes. So we won't be concerned how she is doing on her own.

Our family has been really happy with my mother's care at Spring Creek. The nurses and employees are all compassionate and understanding of each situation there. I feel my mother is in a safe environment and very content living there. The staff keeps me informed of her condition and living situation during the month.

my mom has lived at Sterling for about 3 years and although she might not readily admit it...she loves it. She needed the extra care and supervision that Sterling provides but still allows her to have her own place. She raves about the food and participates in several exercises classes each week. She also enjoys the fellowship of a weekly bible study. The staff are caring and always available. I sleep alot better knowing she is in a safe place.

The reason we chose Canterbury Inn, Longview WA because the facility had a clean smell and very well kept. The staff is very skilled and even though my father is not happy he is getting the right care and support. We do recommend Canterbury

The food at Cascade Inn seems to be really good. They were willing to work with him and bring him food into his room for the first couple of weeks while he gets acclimated. Any time I have noticed anything they have responded very well and have gone out of their way to help and accommodate very well. We've been very pleased. Dad is happy.

Canyon Creek has done a wonderful job caring for my mother. They have provided loving care that included nursing care that was greatly needed and not provided in Mom's previous care facility. They have brought skills and techniques into their care that have truly improved Mom's quality of life. In so doing they have also improved the quality of life for myself and Mom's immediate family. Thank you Canyon Creek!

From the first day everyone was very helpful and kind .By the third day, as I visited my wife, most of the staff knew who I was and called me by name. No matter where I was, as a visitor, they woud ask if I needed help or did I need anything. The food service is excellent. I have lunch or dinner with my wife everyday. The staff works "for the good of the patient".

We're very pleased with Canterbury Gardens! Just about every person who works here is outstanding! Gretchen in particular is wonderful. They're all very caring and helpful, and are always happy to help with any request you might have.

The first impression we both had upon meeting the staff was very welcoming, respectful and friendly. They also demonstrated a genuine and personalized care for the residents of the community. Quite frankly The Hampton at Salmon Creek is an excellent facility for memory care. I would highly recommend that those seeking care for their loved one to include this facility in your search. Whatever the level of care required, the staff is very capable, efficient, knowledgeable, caring and consistent. They seem to know the correct response in any situation with which they are presented. I feel as if I can leave my loved one there and have peace of mind......They take care of every aspect. Plus they are incredibly flexible in terms of length of time needed

We transferred my step Mom from WA to Sterling Commons to be closer to her family. The staff is friendly, helpful, and professional and have been wonderful.

Value was equal to or better to what I saw at other places. For the price, it was the best deal. I like everything about this place. It's very nice, it's friendly, the food is terrific. They're about to remodel, so it will be even nicer. My father likes it. He's doing really well. He likes that it's close to me and his other daughters. It is nicer than the facility where he was living before.

My mother has severe dementia and often times refers to me as her "best friend", rather than her daughter. The staff is loving and supportive both to myself and my mother, and rejoices with me along each step of this journey. The facility is beautiful, and my mother is always clean and well attended to. There are many activities on different levels for the residents and a lot of individual care and attention. This is the 3rd facility my mother has been in as her dementia has progressed and I looked carefully at all possible options with each move. This journey has been difficult and the staff and management at Canyon Creek has been professional and worked with me. I feel blessed to have mom living at Canyon Creek.

Arbor Hills Community is a wonderful place for your loved one. It is new (construction completed in May of 2013), beautifully appointed, exceptionally clean, but most of all the care given to our dad is wonderful. The staff is thoughtful, kind, gracious, friendly and protective of all the residents as if they were their own family members.
