This is a great company to work for they are considerate, thoughtful, helpful, and see a problem before I even do and are supportive of their employees and their clients.

Employment here has made me believe in people again and that I'm not just a number at a company, easily replaced. It's been a wonderful experience for the last six months.. I hope to have many more years with them!!!!

This organization provides the most appropriate, medically-based senior care services to their clients, whether in-home or with a licensed senior community. "Heartfelt" is more than a trade moniker with these highly-skilled and medically-focused senior care professionals. It IS how they provide the best care options for clients AND their families. I have seen the results of their services and worked closely when it was important to locate a senior community for care more advanced than an in-home situation. Their professional standards are beyond reproach, reputation is well-deserved and respect well-earned. Highly-recommended for individual seniors and families seeking advice, options and assistance for aging well! 5-Star rating...

My mother spent her last nearly six years in Sunshine Home Adult Foster Care Home. Ana Imes and Krystyna her main employee truly love their residents and they really know what they are doing. The home is incredibly clean - none of the "old people smell" of most nursing homes. The food is great home-cooked and individualize according to the resident's needs. They also really know their stuff when it comes to nursing for old people. Oregon has a very tough inspection system for adult foster care homes. Ana consistently scores very highly, this last year earning a perfect score and is highly respected by doctors in our area. I want you to ask yourself how much attention and time you or your love one needs from the staff at a senior living facility. After my father died, we moved my mother who was already suffering from demention to an assisted living facility, an ALF in the area. The ALF was beautiful. She had a nice bedroom and they had in theory lots of activities. The reality however was that there were 27 residents for every medication aid on staff and their one registered nurse was available only 40 hours a week. The staff meant well but was also very inexperienced. The dining room was beautiful but the food was terrible. There were activities but few participated and most residents seemed very unhappy. In the course of six weeks at this ALF my mother fell three times related to problems with a UTI, each time winding up for several hours alone on the floor of her apartment before the staff discovered her and had her taken to the ER. Consider, what happens to you or your loved one if they are alone and fall in their appartment and no one checks on them for several hours? This is common in Assisted Living Facilities. After my morher's third fall the local social services and my doctor recommended we move mom to Sunshine Home Adult Foster Care Home in Depoe Bay, Oregon. It was the best thing that could have happened. My mom was really difficult to handle in the early years because of her dementia. She refused, for example to believe that my father had died and would go looking for him. She could be quite combative and hard to get along with. Ana and Krystyna worked with her through all that to provide a safe, loving environment. Ana would sometimes stay up all night with her, sleeping just outside her room in case my mother needed something. In the last year as my mother's condition continued to deteriorate due to age it became necessary to spoon feed her. Ana and Krystyna cooked fresh, wholesome food and when necessary pureed it for my Mom. In the last few months it would somtimes take one of them an hour or more to feed my mother by hand. I don't think you can get that kind of care in any ALF or nursing home. How can an ALF or nursing home beat a resident to staff ratio of 4 or 5 to 1? How can you beat the kind of experience and love demonstrated by these ladies? Sunshine Home was without question the best choice for my family and may be for yours.

Worst possible place ever steer clear of this business if your looking for a caregiver service or…read morelooking for work They hire caregivers with no experience, and lie to their clients telling them all their caregivers are experienced & trained. There is no training you get a 4 hour PowerPoint of information crammed into one day that they won't go over with you again. They are constantly hiring every Thursday because they can't keep employees, be it problems with hours and them not giving their employees adequate hours or scheduling problems. Ive spoken with clients who stated how they'll send over replacements/ "fill ins" and never even bother to call them to let them know a new person is showing up. There is no care for caregivers or clients just a false sense of tutelage, trust, and benevolence. Their silver lining is that they try to shove faith, worship, god down your throat to cover up all their misdeeds thinking that a simple "we'll pray for you" is gonna fix anything. If you care about yourself or your loved ones you won't spend a second of your time or a cent here, there plenty of different companies and or routes to go but without a doubt on earth this place is overwhelmingly the most atrocious deplorable opti

Our family member, age 92, arrived from Portland Adventist to Corvallis Manor on the afternoon of…read moreFriday, September 8 via gurney transport. Despite concerns about being released to a nursing facility, rather than their own home, the family was told that "death was not imminent" and that our family member could benefit from a brief stay (no longer than 20 days) in a skilled nursing facility/rehabilitation center to build strength and undergo both speech and physical therapies. At this time, our family member was non-verbal, unable to ask for assistance or press a nurse button, feed themself, or move freely to and from the hospital bed. Our family member required a high-level of care that Corvallis Manor did not provide. The family was told that there would be no patient onboarding until the following Monday. This meant our family member would not be meeting with any doctors, physical therapists, speech therapists, and that there would be no patient plan for at least three days. The family did not receive any sort of introduction to the facility, onboarding, or even a brochure with contacts/additional information. A family member was able to get in touch with the doctor assigned to our family member's case via his on-call number (Dr. Ruden), and was told he no longer worked for Corvallis Manor. Our family member was assigned a doctor who did not work at the facility. Following a surgery at Portland Adventist, our family member had a drainage tube at the surgery incision site. This tube needed to be flushed once a day and the bag needed to be maintained and emptied twice per day. Staff were unable to perform the flushing of the drain and had practically walked away from the situation when they could not figure out the medical device. Family, although learned on how to drain and remove the bile/fluid, had to request this to be done by staff, as nursing staff was not present unless called upon. Additionally, a member of the nursing staff (Shannon) said she did not have any orders to flush the drain. Our family member was diabetic, and the family was routinely testing his blood sugar at Corvallis Manor. Nursing staff did not test blood sugar until requested. When our family member was testing high (341), the family called nursing staff and it was 30-minutes until the nursing staff was able to take a reading. The blood sugar level reached above 400 when tested by nursing staff, a dangerously high reading, and the nursing staff was unable to administer insulin until 1.5-hours later, after the family pressed the staff to make a decision on the amount of insulin to administer. At Corvallis Manor, our family member tested positive for Covid-19. Despite Covid-19 protocols being expressed, such as receiving meals in styrofoam and being bagged separately when discarded, for example, these protocols were not followed, leaving others at risk. On the morning of Sunday, September 10, the family arrived at Corvallis Manor at 8 a.m. to find our family member nearly naked in the bed with the blankets on the ground. When asked, staff could not explain how long he had been laying like this. His wife decided to stay overnight on Sunday after this. On the morning on Monday, September 11, the family was told by staff that our family member would be released, after the family had pressed for a home release into hospice since admittance on Friday, September 8. A meeting with a hospice nurse took place and our family member was set to be released at 9:00 p.m. via gurney transport. 9 p.m. came and went and the family had to press staff to look into the transport and release orders. Shortly after, transport arrived. Our family member was released into home/hospice care and was transported home late on the evening of September 11. He passed away on Tuesday, September 12 at 3:30 a.m. Please let this be a warning to other families, do not allow your family members to be admitted to Corvallis Manor.

As a CNA for several facilities, this is one of, if not, the worst care centers I have every seen…read more My aunt was there for over a year and this is what I saw/heard. There was little to no communication with family. My aunt could not eat a lot of the meals and the staff would not get her food that she could eat. The nurses would stop or change medication WITHOUT DR'S KNOWLEGE OR PERMISSION (this happened at least twice). It would take staff on average (and yes we timed this over the course of several months) 45 minutes to 1.5 hours to answer her light. Which means she would be left with a wet or soiled brief or in EXTREME pain for that long. There are several other things I could mention such as part of her charts going missing; my aunt getting sores because the aides refused to listen to her or clean her properly, her not getting showers for WEEKS at a time; etc. Overall I would NEVER recommend this facility to ANYONE. If I could give negative stars I would.
