Food is marginal at best, call buttons mean nothing, most caregivers are ok with a few not so great. Don't expect an answer to that call button but eventually you'll get a response with the excuse that they are the only caregiver on your wing! Which is BS as you will find out by taking a walk or ride in a wheelchair! They are good as I said compared to other Nursing Homes!

Three therapists she worked with were so compassionate- they had concerns that were expressed to me, so I ended up taking her back into emergency (after three visits to her primary where nothing was happening) and finally got her the help she needed. I have the greatest thanks for the team at Touchmark and the valuable advice given to me. Thank you, Touchmark, for helping out when I felt we had nowhere to turn.

The owners, Anna and Viktor are simply the kindest people I have ever met. When speaking with them and interacting with them, you can see how much they love what they do and how much they care for each patient. They treat thems as if they were family. I would recommend Running Creek Assisted Living to anyone looking to place a loved one into an assisted living facility, they have great care options to accommodate every need.

I lived there for eight years and am happy to be out. Prestige Assisted Living, now Hazel Dell…read moreAssisted Living is not a great place. Employee gossip and theft provides to the drama. They always seem to be short staffed, thus the quality of resident care suffers. Communication is very poor. There is no 2-way communication between resident's and staff. If you fall hopefully, you are by one of 2 buttons to call for assistance, then you wait. Communication system is archaic at best. The food is not good. Serving times are late. Sit down for a meal, the serving time comes and you wait and wait, sometimes 20-30 minutes or longer before the food is served. Usually, staff is in there bs'ing and getting their meals, or eating in the kitchen. While staff is in there, hygiene requirements are not met. They seem to continually have bookkeeping issues. Enough said if you want to find out how it really is at Hazel Dell Assisted Living speak with the residents without staff close by.

I had a few items listed on Craigslist to sell. My Omega VRT-350 Juicer was one of them!…read more I had someone interested and that someone lives at this retirement community! I drove into Vancouver and pulled off onto Main St. I pulled into the community and couldn't find any visitor parking, so I went ahead and parked in resident parking. With hundreds of parking spots, I felt fine doing so and picked the spot furthest away. I waited near a bench next to the garden/front lawn area and waited. There is a lot of hussle and bussle here at Knights of Pythias! There's a smoking area in the back area and there were a few guys on their mobility devices out talking in the sunshine day. I saw older men and woman and middle aged men and woman. Some had pets, some did not. Some needed help getting inside, most did not. :) I realized I needed to go in and actually meet my new online buddy at their 'residence' or actual room number. I went to the front desk, told the super friendly, Mr Smiles guy what was going on and he said, "Cool! Head upstairs to the left." I asked if it was safe, he chuckled and nodded. I told him my name and what kind of car I have and went upstairs. I'll try not to turn this into my NaMo story, but man oh man. I was nervous, ya'll. NERVOUS! I don't meet at people's home, let alone their front door. It's always a public spot. But. This is different for me. I had my pepper spray ready and rang the door bell.... HA! Totally not what I expected! I met with a middle aged woman who did NOT look like she would live in 'retirement community' but I saw lots of people coming and going that didn't fit the norm. She had a beet ready for us to juice and I gave her the instructions and she gave me some cash! We ended our transaction with a glass of beet juice! Now, back to the establishment itself. It's an older building for sure. The stairwells are scuffed and cold. The halls kept but absolutely dated. The fragrance wasn't bad, in any foul way, but was heavy with cleaners and just that "old building" kinda feel. The sitting area or 'living room' near the front lobby is VERY BIG. Many residents sat watching t.v, chatting, reading, etc and I did not have any negative feelings watching everyone enjoying themselves and relaxing. The furniture is extremely vintage (it's old ya'll. OLD) and patterns you'd see at antique or consignment shops. I'm not sure how I feel about it. Everything was so nice, but goodness gracious, this place needs some updating! Some new paint and modern touches. I don't think it would take a lot to really give this place a little extra 'umpf'! This part of town is getting some major upgrades and I'd love to see the Knights going with that as well. Id find it hard to believe this organization doesn't have skilled handymen and woman! available at a moments notice! I've passed this place tons of times and wasn't impressed, never realizing it was many people's HOMES! Powerwashing brick, new updated colors in paint, upgrade some furniture ... I'd give the place 5 stars and recommend for my own family come here. Currently, however, I was left a little depressed as I drove away thinking about how I am taking this task on now as my mom looks for active retirement communities herself ... Just because she's older, doesn't mean where she lives should look, feel or smell like it. I loved how friendly everyone was, including the residents and I would recommend anyone in need to check the Knights out, should that fall within your viewpoint of things. I'd give a 4 star, Yay! I'm a fan rating, however, didn't feel it was honest since this review is from my one visit there and not as a resident or daily visitor. However, I have added this location as volunteer options, so should I feel the need to update, I will. Thanks!
