Northstar Senior Living

All around I have been happy with the choice I made to move my mother in here. The management, the facility, the nurses, the food, and the rest of the staff are both caring and competent. Thank you

My mom has been at the gardens about 5 weeks. She was resistant to going anywhere but has stopped saying she wants to go home. She has put on 8 pounds since living there! She loves the food, the people and activities. Her room is the perfect size and she has everything she needs.

Mom can be difficult but they do a great job with her. They work with me to keep her dementia manageable. She is happy, busy and safe. I'm very pleased. This her 2nd time here.

We are completely satisfied with Legacy at Highwoods Preserve. I was very impressed with the staff in the beginning, specifically [name removed] the director. I liked his availability, forthrightness, and he did a good job making me feel comfortable with our decision and that has not changed since we have moved in. It has been a great experience and we are glad we found Legacy.

my dad lives at this community and out off all the communities I have been to this past 2 years. I must say the staff are amazing. The community is clean and smells nice. There is fun and interactive activities going on. The residents are so happy. The staff members always greet me, smile, and ask how I am. You can tell that they are happy and fulfilled. The residents are clean and well groomed. The building is not brand new with all the frills, bells, and whistles. But we have already done that and It doesn't matter what they offer the care never compares to this. We thought that dad needed movie theaters, exercise rooms, and resort style accommodations. It was just not realistic. Dad didn't live like that before and didn't when we moved him. We went to 3 different larger communities and all that happened is that dad declined. He wasn't showered, medications where not give, missed Dr. Appointments the list goes on and on. Dad was left to fend for himself.

My loved one is thriving here. My loved one was able to blend right in with the other residents. The communication with the staff has been okay. Medication management, bathing, and hygiene assistance is some of the care the community is able to provide.

They need to work on their meals. They need to have more to offer the residents for choices. My loved one was in another community and the residents were able to order off the menu with what they wanted. This is what needs to happen at this community. Overall the staff and community are nice and friendly. This is a great place for your loved one. They have an activities director, but I don't know what activities they have available for the residents. The room, utilities, transportation for doctor appointments, changing of linens, laundry service, and all the meals are included in the monthly fee. There is an extra charge for medication management for my loved one. There is a point system and the less assistance your loved one need the less the monthly fee is.

If you are looking for a cozy atmosphere for your loved one look no further than the LEGACY.... My mom has been there over 2 years and I cannot say enough for the director and ALL the staff employed at the LEGACY. There is always something to keep all the residents engaged. THE LEGACY is a smaller community, and you have a feeling of a family not a HOTEL. I have recently visited a friend's mom in one of the new communities and although the community was BRAN NEW, the feeling, and treatment you receive at THE LEGACY was just not there. I would highly recommend THE LEGACY for your loved one!

The Vineyard Ranch is really spaced out, they have a nice lobby with a fireplace. Our loved one likes the meals but sometimes says they are a little under seasoned - however we do understand they do that for the other residents dietary restrictions. She seems to be having a great time with all the activities and is being well entertained. She especially likes this horse racing game that involves putting a quarter down and rolling dice. Everyone gets a turn so its very fun. They have different creative gave which is great. Personally we think the value is good - you get room and board, activities, someone to come and clean your room and assist with laundry. Based on our experience so far we would recommend this community to others

We had a very good tour at Sellwood. The lady who gave the tour was very nice. The staff seemed to know every resident by first name. The facility itself was great. It just wasn't suitable for my loved one. The location was not conducive to getting outdoors at all, and it was in a very busy location. Also the multi-story building would have been confusing to her.

The facility has very good ratings, we have had very few problems or complaints. The memory care portion is completely separate from the assisted living side. We went with Paintbrush because my sister knows another family that has her mother in the memory care unit as well. I have eaten here twice and love it, the food is great and they are higher end meals, I would compare them to nice restaurants. The meals are not served on a strict schedule which is great so your loved one will never go hungry, I would give the friendliness of the staff a 10 if I could. The pay is all inclusive so they are not nickel and diming you like some other places. They always call you if there are any questions or concerns and really go above and beyond. They keep the doors open to residents rooms so sometimes things get taken or people wander in, but that seems to be an issue wherever you go. Setting up the pharmacy and the new doctor paperwork was easy, they cross all the T's and dot the I's for you. Mom is always clean when we go to visit, her room is tidy, and her laundry is done on a regular basis. They have activities going on throughout the day so there is always something to do. They have someone who comes in that does the residents hair and she is so kind and patient. We got a private room with a private bathroom which was a huge bonus. They have a courtyard right outside of the common room and luckily moms room overlooks the courtyard so she can watch the hummingbirds. She is really thriving here and has improved greatly. They have great safety protocols and really have the residents safety and best interest as the top priority. Overall they have been great and are like family to us. We are very happy with our experience so far and they have given us peace of mind. I would tell others to look here first then go and look at the others.

Pacifica Senior Living fit just what my mom was looking for, she just needed a little place where she could be independent and all of her needs are taken care of. She has a studio apartment and it is very adequate for her needs. They do many activities such as crafts, cooking, trips to the store, etc. A lot of it has been hindered during to covid though. I would definitely recommend them to others who are looking.

Thank you for attaching the calendar. Sorry for our common usage was so short. I do wish she had been able to participate in your programs and we are happy she had some socialization.

It is wonderful, I love it and I could not be happier than I am now living at Heritage Woods. The facility itself is very clean and all of the staff members are super friendly. The food was not the best when I got here, but it is getting better, we have a new chef and he has new ideas and is putting forth new things. The activities director is wonderful, I would give her higher than a 5 if I could. With covid we were kind of bored since we could not go out and do things, but now we are getting back to normal and it has been great. We have had lots of entertainment coming in and we have been going out to do activities. The staff go out of their way to help us and make us happy. I fell in love with my apartment right when I walked in, it is perfect and exactly what I was looking for. The director has been strict on the covid protocols and we still have to wear masks. She was very empathetic when I lost my dog a few months ago. We have a community dog, it is a toy poodle and if I am ever feeling lonely or want cuddles, she lets me come into her office and get the dog. I would most certainly recommend Heritage Woods to others who are looking, it is a great place.

My mom is a resident of The Legacy for 2 years. She moved in just before COVID so we did not get to experience THE LEGACY as we know it now. Things are getting back to normal a bit and I find THE LEGACY to be an amazing facility. The director, and all the staff really take pride in operating this facility. I visit my mom everyday, so I see everyday how wonderful this facility is. If you are looking for a place for your parent, I would HIGHLY recommend THE LEGACY, it is like Disney World for the elderly!!!!!

This is a great place for you or your loved one. it is a little smaller but the executive director and the people that work with her have been wonderful. I have told other people about this community and they are even planning to look into it. The tour was great and my loved one really likes her food and they even sent a salad for us to show her when we first went through.

They were very helpful in making a difficult situation go smoothly.

Our mother is very happy there, we have nothing to really complain about. She is really enjoying the meals and all the people who work there. She is really happy with her apartment and the layout, but the could use some updating of the place in general.

Vineyard Ranch has a great location that is next to a mall that has grocery store, nail salon, and more. This makes it convenient for residents to visit and take advantage of. The food is good, with a daily special. They have a standard menu for the residents to order off of. They have inhouse physical and occupational therapists for the residents to take advantage of. They do have activities for the residents to choose from.

They take really good care of the residents at this community. They are also very helpful with the family members. They have activities like educational programs, crosswords, music entertainment and more for the residents to do. They also go on neighborhood walks.
