Although I'm overwhelmed and saddened to see so many wonderful people battling this awful health condition, I'm thrilled to see my loved one getting the care she needs. Every interaction I've had with the staff has been positive, and it appears my friend is well-loved in this facility. I've seen her go from being a loner, to spending more time with other folks in the common rooms. There is a large dining room with ample opportunity for socializing, as well as more private zones spread throughout this massive wing of the building. Residents enjoy relaxing music in the common areas, weekly crafts and special projects managed by Activities Director, Jennifer, a very warm-hearted person who goes the extra mile to make sure everyone feels loved. There are multiple book nooks throughout the building, as well as access to a beautiful outdoor courtyard with a gazebo. I wish our friend didn't need to live here, but I rest easy knowing she is in safe hands. One small area for improvement is it would be nice to have dogs allowed in the memory care ward; my friend's face brightens up every time she gets to spend time with my pug, as well as her son's dog. Overall, I really appreciate the staff at Lakeview Senior Living, and hope everyone has as positive of an experience as my friend.

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.

If you love your family member, don't let them live here. Many of the med techs and Caregivers are…read morevery wonderful and do their best. However, management could care less. When care staff notified management that they were low and almost out of incontinent supplies, management told them "they have to work with what they have". Sadly, not enough incontinent supplies is the norm at this facility. They don't have enough staff for the high acuity of the residents which leaves care staff only able to do bare minimum and sometimes not even that. Most residents rarely have the opportunity to shower because there simply isn't enough staff to assist with this. By rarely, I mean a month or more. Residents who are able to call for assistance are left waiting extremely long periods of time. This is partly due to poor staffing and partly due to their absurd call light system (call lights notify pagers that the med techs have and the med techs are responsible for walkie-ing the caregiver. If a med tech is on break and another busy, the care staff doesnt even know about the call) On one occasion, a resident who was on hospice and was actively dying in his wheelchair, was not allowed to return to his bed in his room because the maintenance worker was painting the room (why someone would paint an occupied room in a memory care facility is beyond me). While the room might be freshly painted, they are rarely cleaned By housekeeping. The housekeeper prefers to clean near the offices and common areas. I saw dried poop in a residents shower sit for over a month before it was cleaned. If my loved one needed memory care, I would look elsewhere were.

She liked the people and atmosphere at Parkland but was hesitant with uncertainties. The community relations director, Marie Jennings was very considerate of my mom's feelings and reassured us that when the time was right everything would work out. Three weeks later my mother told me she wanted to make the move. We called Marie who told that an apartment had just become available. No sales pressure, just waiting for us to say yes to the move and things happened very rapidly in an in the elder care environment which is so often overshadowed with clouds of insufficiency. My mother is still quite the foodie and likes the food at Parkland, especially the soup. One of the first things I noticed was the happy and visible caregivers who always seem to be working in teams. My mother has lots of health issues and does lots of complaining but she likes the caregivers who finish her care with hugs and reassurances. I see her smiling when they leave. My wife and I travel part of the year. Recently my mother's motorized wheelchair broke down. She was quite distraught and wanted me to come home and fix it right away. This was impossible. I called the Parkland triage person and asked if the maintenance person could take a look to see if some simple and basic was the problem. This did not happen. When I arrived at Parkland a week later I discovered the charger had simply come unplugged. I brought this to the attention of Marie. She gave my wife and I options for how this could be handled. At our request she called the people involved who by the way are very busy, into her office. We talked about how important it is that when my wife and I are away we can feel good about my mother's safety and well being. Everybody makes mistakes but Marie Jennings handled this situation as a true caring professional. Thank you Marie and Parkland staff. You are all amazing. Elwyn Behnke

I recently visited several homes in McMinnvile for possible residency for my mother. Parkland is…read moremy first choice. The criteria I used was extensive but the main reason for my choice was the happiness I saw in the residents and the overall positive environment that they lived in. Most everyone had a smile on their face and I saw whole families having lunch or just visiting with their loved ones. I also thought the living space in the apartments and studios were nice and light and bright. The only reason I did not give Parkland 5 stars is because my mother is not yet a resident there so I can not speak from her experience. In my opinion, Parkland is a wonderful place for a loved one and I would rest easy if my mom becomes a resident of this facility.

I share this with the best intentions possible for everyone that works, lives, and has family who…read morereside within Timberhill Place Assisted Living. In this review I will not name names, I am merely giving my viewpoint as someone who previously worked at the facility. Who am I? My name is Brian Davidson. I was a former caregiver who worked at Timberhill Place from February of 2019 until September of 2021. In the first ten months at the facility I loved it. At that point I'd been in Healthcare for three years and finally found the place that I fit in, as both a worker and a person. The residents are great, for the most part the people I worked with were some of the best care workers, kitchen aids, and cooks that I had ever worked with up until that point and we all worked together cohesively. Unfortunately no matter how well trained and experienced the staff are they are at the mercy of a inept and inefficient administration team. For one example they wouldn't allow us caregivers to have keys. Everywhere that I've ever worked in this field would give us keys in the case of an emergency. The medtechs had the keys. So if your old grandma takes a tumble but locked the door beforehand she's SOL. I gotta go run and find the Medtech and hopefully I might get back soon. Their reasoning behind this is to prevent theft, and yet theft would occur regardless. The best way to prevent theft is hire good staff and trust them to provide the necessary care and for the most part they had that... but of course they hired a plentiful amount of absolute buffoons as well and not only were these fools hired they were completely catered to and often favored by management over the staff that actually did their damn job. One infuriating incident involved a woman who had applied at the facility and based on what I witnessed of her capabilities on the floor boldly lied about her previous work history and achievements. I have no means to verify this assertion, and I'm not saying it with total certainty but this certain individual could barely keep up with minor tasks and by the end of each shift, had barely done anything. On one shift We even checked our pager system and discovered that where other caregivers were answering 20+ calls a night she had barely answered two, the day after we'd discover that certain tasks weren't done on her sheet, and even that she was rude to several residents and couldn't go into their rooms which stacked more work on us which was already mounting because we were scrambling to do what she wasn't doing. All of this was unacceptable and when we presented all of this to our fearless "leaders" they backed her up anyways. We had all worked there well before this individual was even working a floor. This situation, on paper, seemed blatantly obvious and yet the wrong person walked out of the building that day. We lost one of the best for someone who wouldn't even be there much longer thereafter. These aforementioned events happened well before the pandemic started and I had planned to leave but unfortunately put in an additional year because I felt guilty leaving the best people I know behind in this mess and lasted until I could take it no longer. Management made that work environment into one of the worst hellscapes I've ever had to operate in. We do our best, only to have them do their worst and then we would get blamed for the Fallout of that. They have no respect for the staff that bring them their money and make no effort in even slightly pleasing anybody that works for them. The wages are laughably bad, especially in the post-Pandemic era, which also shows their lack of care for the residents living under their wing. If you really cared for the residents interred in your facility then you'd pay your workers a consummate wage for a good days work, would you not? It's simple math, I know you won't do it, but it's easy to understand why nobody is applying or wants to work there.

A couple of staff members were not only friendly but also genuinely attentive. However, Fir Crest has far more inattentive team members, who are unwilling or incapable. Unfortunately, these were the individuals with the most regular contact with our loved one. On more than one occasion, we arrived to find she had fallen forward in her wheelchair in the dining hall. No one had noticed and we have no idea how long she had been in that position. On other occasions, we found her without clothing on, despite the fact 3 employees were nearby on their phones. One of these instances, she merely wanted the matching top to her pants. Despite our daily visits, laundry care, and room cleaning, we often discovered missing or unfamiliar clothing, including clothing she was wearing. Meal provision was sloppy, and personal care, including bathing, was inconsistent. During dinner one evening, there was a physical altercation between 2 staff members that ended up including more staff members out in front of the facility. The inadequate attention to our vulnerable family member left us dissatisfied, expecting a much higher standard. After our family member's passing, the absence of condolences or even a simple smile from any staff member during the room clearing left us feeling as if we were invisible. One final note, the director's office was just a few doors down, and not once did we meet or were greeted by her. She tolerates poor behaviors in the part of her staff.
