My father moved into this facility just over a year ago. At that time the facility, people and food…read morewas amazing. If he had an issue they were quick to fix the problem. The staff was friendly and very approachable. Fast forward to today and it is a different matter. His room was not cleaned for over three weeks, the hallways have not been vacuumed, and dirty dishes have been left sitting on furniture in the hallways. When he goes to eat he is told that they are out of stuff all the time. No tea to drink, no bananas to eat and if he should ask for seconds he is told that if they give it to him they will not have enough to feed the people in memory care. For the amount of money he is paying to stay here this is completely unacceptable! We have been told that it is all due to staff being let go and that they are never out of food or drinks. Where is management? If they don't have the people to clean then why are they not helping? Why are they not in the dinning room talking to the residents and seeing what they are getting to eat or what is out? We will be moving my dad out of this facility just as soon as we can.

I had the pleasure of being invited to a New Years Eve Lunch at Madrona Hills in Salem, Oregon…read moretoday and I was much impressed with the warmth and professionalism of the staff, from our arrival, throughout our meal, and up on our departure. The facility is very clean, state covid protocols are being followed by guest and employees. Having been a resident of a close by, sister, facility for over a year now, I found it difficult to believe that Madrona Hills and the facility that I am a resident of, could both be a part of the same group of retirement facilities. At Madrona Hills I found the grounds were beautiful and well manicured, the dining room was warm, clean, and like being at a four star resort. Our servers made us feel as though we were the only clients in the dining room. The food was delightful. I recommend that if anyone is considering a move into a retirement facility in the Salem area, that you visit Madrona Hills before you make your final decision. Unfortunately I made a decision after touring a nearby facility and falling in love with a beautiful lake and koi pond, only to realize after my move in, that what was being advertised as "all inclusive living" has fallen far short of what was presented at the Signing of the rental contract. If I were to have it all to do over again I would not hesitate to make Madrona Hills my home. I have seen many clients move into the facility that I am currently residing at, only to wish a short time later that they had not sold their home, their cars, and things that they had worked their whole lives for, so that they could have a "carefree life", only to realize that they are stuck as they can not afford to move to a different place. Moving into a retirement facility is a big decision and it could be a wonderful experience, but it also can be a very expensive mistake. Please take time to visit Madrona Hills, meet their staff, enjoy a wonderful meal and feel the warmth that is found within.

I have found the management responsive to my concerns, and that the caregivers are kind, caring and empathetic with Mom's situation. I was surprised at some of the comments made about this care facility, because never in my dozens on unannounced visits have I found the building anything but light, bright, clean and orderly, the dining room neat and prepared for the next meal, and the quality and variety of the food excellent. I toured many local care facilities before placing Mom here, and I can tell you Boone Ridge is, to my mind, head and shoulders above the rest. So Five Stars for Boone Ridge Senior Living, I appreciate all that they do for my family.

Since 1998 I have been marketing Long Term Care insurance; thus, I have somewhat more familiarity…read morewith care facilities than most. When my wife's aunt (also my client) needed Long Term Care services in the fall of 2010 I began the process of evaluating care facilities in Salem, Oregon. We visited a number but quickly made a decision for the Woods at Willow Creek following a tour of their facility and after consulting with their staff. My wife's aunt has now been at the Woods for over 6 years and we couldn't be more pleased with the care she has received. I have been so impressed not only with the care but also the staff that when my 95 year old mother needed care in the Sherwood, Oregon area we immediately visited The Springs at Sherwood. My mother has now been at The Springs at Sherwood since December of 2015 and my decision to place my mother there has been validated innumerable times. A secondary blessing to having great care provided for both my wife's aunt and my mother is the interaction with all levels of staffing at both facilities. They become friends and it makes visits all the more special.

My MIL lived with us for 4 years before having a stroke. She was placed in a group home but after a second stroke she needed a facility. I called many facilities but when I called GC I spoke with with Mackenzie she was so nice, understanding and compassionate. I told her all the issues with my MIL: dementia, stroke, macular degeneration, two-person toileting, wandering, and potential sundowner that Salem Transitional Care relating she had developed. She visited MIL at Salem Transitional Care twice. Mackenzie called and stated MIL would be a perfect fit for GC. She assured us that it would take her some time to adjust to moving again but that this was a normal process. She asked us to leave a down payment of $500 to reserve a room. We went over verbally on the phone the cost which was $4250 a month including showering, toileting, laundry, assisting to bed and wheelchair, assistance to dining room. She stated that the great thing about GC was that they never charged over $4500 a month. She knew that MIL was in a spend down period to then transition to Oregon Health Plan. A week before the move Mackenzie called said we needed to come down today to sign paperwork to hold MIL's room. I said "I gave you a deposit". She stated corporate wanted the paperwork signed before the end of the month. I presented that day with my 15-year-old daughter and 10-year-old daughter. I reminded Mackenzie that we did not have power of attorney to sign paperwork for MIL. I could write a check since I was on her bank account, but my signature would not be legal on the contract. She said they would have me sign and have MIL resign once she moved in. Mackenzie reviewed the contract with me, left blanks as she need to figure the pro-rated rent for February based on the day she arrived. She spent most meeting reviewing the section of the contract stating if we had an issue to consider mediation over hiring an attorney. Mackenzie also stated that if for any reason they felt MIL wasn't a good match once she moved in, GC would be responsible to find a new facility for her to be transferred to. We would not have deal with the stress of moving MIL again. I gave her a check for the amount she figured and a week later MIL moved in. Within a week of MIL being at GC I received a call from a team member early in the morning stating Mackenzie had been let go and we were behind on rent. I said "she just moved MIL in and we gave you the rent that we were told". The staff member said the charge was for January 2020. I said "she didn't move in until February". She asked me if I had a contract that I could provide them. I told the staff member "No, Mackenzie didn't give me a copy of what I signed because she was going to have MIL resign since she was her own legal guardian and what I signed isn't legal as we are not power of attorney". She stated they couldn't find a copy of the contract. I told her everything Mackenzie told me at our meeting and phone calls prior to moving in. The staff member contacted corporate and after a few phone calls back and forth everything was straightened around. One morning we arrived to GC to visit with mom. The day shift CNA took us aside and informed us that MIL had not been checked on the whole night by night shift and was covered head to toe in her urine in the am. She said she reported it to the new manager but since Mackenzie was no longer there, she wasn't sure what would be done since the management was changing. In the early part of March when COVID was starting to be an issue, I was called into a meeting with Jordyn to review her care plan. I had never heard about a care plan. Jordyn started informing me about how much they had to do for my MIL. Mind you, we were visiting her daily to every other day and were cleaning her appt, helping her with laundry, toileting etc. He informed me that we would need to pay an additional $3507.00 a month on top of $4250.00. I told him we were not going to be paying more as we were told by Mackenzie that $4500.00 was the max out of pocket. I told him he might want to get with corporate and get this figured out. He then told me that MIL hair needed to be cut because they need the residence to look put together and kept. If the credentialing board comes and walks through their facility and sees residences looking unkept they can get in trouble and it lowers their scores. I asked him if he had made her an appt at their hair salon since we were not able to take her from the facility to get her hair cut. I never heard from Jordyn again and then COVID hit and everything shutting down and we were unable to go to the facility. I assumed that he would be getting back to me so we could reach and agreement on the fees but I never heard from him.
