The residents and staff are welcoming to people who move to Portland from out of state and it is easy to connect and make new friendships. I love the fact that there are athletic classes in the building that are easily accessible, so that people have the opportunity to stay fit if they choose. Each unit has a lovely kitchen, so residents can choose to cook for themselves or dine in either the Bistro, which is open to the public, or the very elegant dining room on the 24th floor. This isn't a nursing home, so there isn't an activities director, but there are many organized activities, like mah jongg and bridge, movie nights and shuttles to shopping and cultural events. There is even a wood shop and an art studio. The second floor is a different situation. It is mainly filled with people who are transitioning from hospital care until they are ready to return home again. For them, it is a classy but temporary situation that is independent so it isn't practical to compare it to the full time Mirabella system. In praise of the staff, I am so moved by the devotion of some of the people who work at Mirabella. Many of the maintenance people and food servers are so kind and respectful to the residents, some who navigate through their lives with health challenges. In my opinion, this is the perfect living situation for this population and I am so grateful that my parents chose to make their home here.

Right after I wrote my review I discovered there was a new weekly menu and an attempt to provide…read moremore variety to their menu options for vegetarians. This is a very welcome step. I also want to note that their meals are not expensive. Some people prefer quantity over quality. Your safest bets are the salads, avocado toast, soups, and fruit bowls. Part of my frustration with Cherrywood is that its a retirement home and the residents don't have a choice where to eat most days. At least this is true for those who can't easily travel. So the meals should be appetizing and inviting. There is a culinary director but somehow he claims to not be involved in culinary matters. I want that job. However, one would think the culinary director would offer to forward your concerns. This doesn't happen. The culinary director is NOT the chef. The chef and his staff try really hard. You usually won't find the culinary director. I don't see him helping when there is a rush, he has never greeted me or seated us where there is a line, and I assume he is usually in his office. One does see him on the family events. So he isn't totally invisible. Sounds like Cherrywood needs a culinary director who is responsible for improving the dining experience in their restaurant willing to greet guests. As stated before, Cherrywood caters to 7th Day Adventists and they are vegetarian. Their vegetarian selections are hopefully getting better. They were not really good before. The worst meal I had there was at the last Thanksgiving. That veggie meal included two slices of fake turkey. Think bologna or spam for Thanksgiving. As a comparison one of their competitors offers a nice salmon dinner every day as an option. Cherrywood offers this maybe once a week. Just saying other retirement homes offer better food services. I hope things get better.

While the outward presentation of this community is polished and progressive, there's a noticeable…read moregap between the image and the internal culture. Staff turnover is high, and communication is often inconsistent. Resident concerns -- even those related to comfort, accessibility, or safety -- can be quietly overridden by leadership without explanation. Much of the decision-making appears to rest with a single individual whose personal preferences outweigh resident input. If your expectations don't match his vision, changes are unlikely, regardless of broader support. The community promotes an image of inclusivity, but in practice, respect and consideration seem to be limited to select groups. The lack of regard shown toward surrounding neighbors and the broader community is striking -- a sense of entitlement permeates interactions, and staff behavior has, at times, been deeply concerning. In one instance, I witnessed an employee act aggressively in public with no evident consequences. Attempts to raise the issue went unanswered, raising doubts about internal accountability. Prospective residents and families may want to ask detailed questions about staff conduct, resident influence, and how inclusive the environment truly feels on a daily basis -- not just in marketing materials. For a place at this price point, consistency, transparency, and mutual respect should be a given.

I can't say enough good things about the entire community, but I especially want to highlight the care my father receives in memory care. Having a parent with dementia or Alzheimer's is incredibly difficult. You watch someone you love slowly lose pieces of themselves over time, and when my father's health declined, we had to make the very hard decision to move him into full-time care. Touchmark has been an incredible support to our whole family. The staff treat my father with respect, compassion, and kindness. He is always clean, well-dressed, and comfortable--and most importantly, he seems genuinely content. The caregivers communicate clearly and keep us informed about changes, and the leadership team is responsive, helpful, and truly collaborative. I would wholeheartedly recommend Touchmark West Hills to anyone considering independent living, assisted living, or memory care.
