Please do not place your loved ones here! Where do I even…read morebegin... let's start with the ED Alicia! She is THE WORST "BOSS" to have overseeing emoloyees. she hires her family before experienced candidates.(against Mosaic policy but Mosaic is a JOKE. She is not involved with the caregivers or med techs at all. I worked there for 8 months and saw her maybe 4 times. even when a resident was choking, she just walked past us like she didn't know where she was. She doesn't care about caregivers and will call you into her office to demean you and tell you your job isn't hard and berate you when you're unable to take lunches or breaks because while yes legally they are staffed "correctly" in the states eyes due to regulations, there are way too many residents to one caregiver and deaths happen very often whivh can be a lengthy process for caregivers to assist in and therefor, you have to give up your break to make sure everyone is taken care of and families are taken care of. but you will get in trouble for not taking a lunch or breaks. Alicias bestfriend is the med room manager and that little woman is HORRID. not only does she say the 'n' words regularly, she yells at people constantly, picks favorites, breaks laws when it comes to the med cart and also hires family and treats everyone horribly that isn't in her "inner circle." the med room manager and executive director drink together to the point they are high centering their vehicles while driving drunk, smoking marijuana in their office in their vapes and team up against workers they don't like until the worker quits due to hostile work environments. the caregivers manager, Jordan, sleeps with all his employees, drinks alllllll the time, does illegal substances and is a coward. they have caregivers doing the housekeepers jobs and the servers jobs on top of their alrwady heavy workload. they don't do 90 day reviews and you can kiss the idea of a raise at any point goodbye because they just won't. the have covered up SA reports between residents, left residents wounds to heal on their own and at times refusing to send residents to the hospital which has led to 2 deaths that I know of, they break the laws regarding passing meds and who is to be the one passing meds and are all around unprofessional. The residents are amazing. The building is beautiful. But don't fall for it. The management there will lower your loved ones life expectancy by YEARS. Oh and the activities director is HORRIBLE AND MEAN!

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.

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.

I have a family member living here and has unfortunately has gone into Hospice care. This week has been very difficult for me and my family to say the least. I do want to say, we've all been very impressed by the professional, compassionate and sometimes thankless work they do daily. It's HARD work. The profession I'm in works hand in hand with housing such as Emerald Gardens. To me, many folks that work at some of these facilities and with Hospice are "angels walking among us" I am reminded that there are wonderful caring people in this world.. Even though our family is hurt and saddened by the loss of a family member, we all feel we were in good hands and more importantly our loved one was in good hands and acknowledged, respected and understood by the staff here, and that, brings some comfort to us. I can't really comment about the food or the activities, but I can say that I see residence laughing and happy and the rooms are warm and clean. Be Well. P.S. auf wiedersehen 2016

I can remember him driving people to go shopping down town Salem. I loved riding along. Not sure a person could get away with that now. My grandmother on my Mother's side worked here when they first opened. I have no memory of it because I wasn't born yet. This last August my Grandma from Dad's side moved in. I stopped in a few times to see her with my doggie's, and my Son's. I thought her apartment was really cute, updated, and clean. When you walk in you smell the food. It smelled pretty good. I was hoping to get a chance to eat a meal with my Grandma. The last time I stopped was mid September. I am glad I stopped. That was the last time I was able to spend with her. My Dad said the meals were good, he went to eat with her, and so did my Aunt, and Uncle. If I lived up there I would have been there a lot. I am just glad she was able to spend her final days some what close to home, and some what familiar.

It doesn't make me feel safe and I just don't think that they have the right people working the counter & the desk answering phones, going on hospice or palliative care is a very stressful situation as is and whenever you're not greeted with kindness and warmth when you call a company, it definitely makes you not want to have them involved with your care at all!
