Nile Living

amazing !!!!

Calarago is a great place.

Awesome! I feel the people here are so important. Everyone I met loves this place. The atmosphere is lovely also. This option is my favorite so far.

very nice - love the greenhouse; good acces to nearby medical care,

Newer facility. Well maintained. Good concept of care and felt very comfortable there.

We had a personalized tour arranged and the staff and facility were very impressive. They even arranged for a 30 day trial stay in the one open studio apartment that was available. Mom seems to be enjoying the facility, residents and staff.

What a beautiful community in an amazing area of Portland (And they have parking, lots of it!!!!). The new dinning room remodel is to die for and there are some of the amazing views on each floor. I love the idea of a salad bar with all the fresh items to choose from. The community is almost like a little town, with a general store, a used store, chapel, , post office , beauty salon all inside the building!

I am very happy with this community for the care. The staff is outstanding. and keep me informed on any changes. The community offers a lot of healthy meals that are very appealing. We liked the list of activities that are offered to the residents. We would recommend this community for the care of a loved one to other families looking for care.

My parents are in the process of getting a few small things worked out, but for the most part, everything is going quite smoothly. The place is very nice. My parents' apartment is awesome, which was really the savior in this process.

This is a nice, clean and well maintained community. The staff are very interactive, friendly and always ask if they can help you. The wait staff are very attentive. The food is good for people over 70 as I feel it needed more spices. The portions are good sized and if you want more you just have to ask them. They offer daily activities and are even willing to try activities the residents suggest. I would recommend this community. I would also recommend A Place for Mom as they were a great help.

I love Calaroga & everyone working here from Leah, Kelly, Luke, Sam and all the others. They all go out of their way to assist you in anything you need. The food leaves something to be desired. Sometimes it's outstanding, sometimes fair & sometimes yucky. I don't complain, I just don't eat it. I'm sure it's difficult to please 200+ folks. It is what it is. I can always count on the food being great when served at a function i.e. birthday parties & special occasions.

Lisa was a great help!

We used Powell Valley Assisted Living for a brief respite stay for my loved one, and overall I think they did a great job. It's a nice looking, clean facility, and the staff were all very friendly. They did a great job making her feel welcome and introducing her to the community. It's a very nice place!

It going really good, we are really happy. She is going to activities, and doing so much more there. I am just ecstatic about it. The people there, the staff, are super, super nice and sweet. They do little things like when they are taking her to lunch or breakfast, they will fluff her hair up, and my mom just loves the girl that does that. The food is not bad here, it's good or better. They even have a happy hour on Fridays, and they serve beer and wine, and they will have a couple of glasses and it's quite good. They play music on Fridays. It just really is good. She can walk out to the courtyard, and her walking is getting better. It's very clean, and they take good care of the place they are always working on the grounds. They are pretty easy to talk to. It really has gone well for us, I would recommend them.

I really liked this place. Warm, friendly, and professional. Had lunch and it was actually pretty good, but could have had a little more spice.

I found Emeritus at Springfield when I was frantically looking for respite care for my Mom when the care I had arranged was suddenly not available 5 days before I was to leave on vacation. An organization called A Place for Mom found space at Emeritus and they were wonderful in helping us get signed up and in place in plenty of time. They were also very helpful with getting Mom settled for her two week stay and helping with her particular needs. She enjoyed her stay and I was able to enjoy my vacation, secure in the knowledge that Mom was well cared for.

The Calaroga Terrace is a perfect location for my "downtown" Dad! He has an amazing view, from the 17th floor, facing North. Gorgeous! The building is older but very sturdy and solid feeling. People are very friendly and Dad loves the food! He can also walk to Lloyd Center and a zillion other places in Northeast Portland. He can also take the Portland Tram directly downtown and the MAX Train is just a few blocks away. They are under-going a full remodel so a beautiful, comfortable home is getting even better. We are very pleased with The Calaroga Terrace!

I have no complaints. Overall, they were very friendly, very helpful. After my husband left, I had to go back because I'd forgotten a couple things, and everyone came out to see him and say hi. He was there for respite while I had surgery and I would bring him back no question. When I first went there I thought I needed two months, but when the doctor told me that I needed to extend his stay, Powell Valley was very accommodating with my needs.

When it came time to find a place for my dad we were sort of crushed for time. Van Mall had all the services we needed, a convenient location, and on the whole was the best place for us and our needs. We needed a place with more care services as dad needed more assistance, and Van Mall has those services. We also really like the atmosphere there.

Our loved one is not in care, but staff is helpful and kind. We would give the meals a 4+, Mom loves the meals and the environment of the restaurant. Her husband is not impressed, but he is a picky eater. Unfortunately, my mom and [name removed] don't go to the activities. Mom considers her meal times her social hours and Al doesn't want to do activities. It's expensive, but they get good value considering the cost of retirement homes in the area.
