My father lived at Whitewood Gardens for a little over 3 years. Even though he was on hospice…read morecare, dad thrived. The med techs were awesome. Dad was bed-bound, and the caregivers were loving and kind. The food was made onsite and was delicious. Dad passed away October 6, 2024. I will always be grateful for the quality care my Dad received at Whitewood Gardens.

My 91 year old father needed a level of care I couldn't provide, and I was fortunate enough to find…read moreWhitewood Gardens. I looked at several places, and was immediately impressed with this place. It's very nice and cheerful. The residents hanging out in the common area looked happy and an activity director was working on fun things for the folks to do. My father moved in at the end of August. His room is a nice size. The food is great! He has the best caregivers-very kind and engaging. It's really a great feeling to feel secure that my dad is in a wonderful place. I am very grateful to have found Whitewood Gardens

My grandmother has been receiving services from Zara for two years now, and we've had an amazing…read moreexperience. Everyone--from the office staff to our caregiver--has been wonderful. They consistently check on my grandma and even visit a few times a year to ensure she's receiving the care she deserves. My family and I are truly grateful for this company. We know we can rely on them, and that peace of mind means everything. Thank you to everyone who continues to make sure my grandma is well cared for. Happy holidays to you all!

From the beginning this company was shady. First off, they made me feel as if I needed to qualify…read morefor their services, when I was doing the hiring. Second, he told me not to keep any appointments or interviews with other providers while I consider them. I had to say yes or no without talking to anybody else, what? I was desperate for help. THREE home visits later, they finally brought me a caregiver. I explicitly asked for someone who likes big dogs. They brought me someone who's "biggest fear in life" was dogs. Brandon from Zara said she will get used to them. I said this wont work for me, but my point is, Dominic and Brandon didnt hear my needs on several points. To top that off, he said Oregon law states that Zara must have regular home visits several times a year so they can make sure their employee is doing the job, and to know Im not covering up anything. Nope, once a year and thats to reasses. He INSISTED before I had to say Ill go with another, less bothersome company. He relented to twice a year, I said once. If my caregiver was ever late or sick, Brandon would call me to see if my care giver was telling the truth. I had to tell them twice not to bother me with that stuff. My caregiver said she hadnt gotten a raise in nearly 2 years. When she called in sick, Dominic told her to stop being childish...?... And she quit without notice, I cannot blame her and I miss her, she was the best caregiver I ever had! His lack of managerial skills affected my life in a bad way. Because of Zara, I went 2 weeks without help, and with a fractured ankle.

Do NOT expect to receive the care your loved one is highly overpriced for here!! There is NEVER…read moreENOUGH STAFF & an extreme turnover of employees, making it impossible to receive consistent care. The training is minimal, usually done by a new, inexperienced employee to another. The wait time for a call response can be an hour & a half! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! Someone could have a STROKE & MINUTES to respond ARE CRITICAL!! The dining room is a JOKE! Twice within 3 weeks, there was bo food prepared for dinner. The residents were served a single slice of pizza! There was an occasion where NO SERVERS showed up for work @ dinner. A resident's FAMILY MEMBER went into the kitchen (no food handlers license!) & got plates of food to serve the residents!! The cook & several servers QUIT @ same time. The employees are UNDER PAID & don't feel appreciated by staff. The excellent Director on staff when my Dad moved in 2021 was fired for trying to make an improvement that rubbed someone wrong. Ever since her termination, for about 1 1/2 years, ALL has gone DOWNHILL. We just turned the facility in to the STATE & OMBUDSMAN because a CONTRACTED MEDIC forced medication on my Dad that wasn't his! His medication is handled by family, not Powell Valley Living staff! He didn't even know what he took! It could have killed him!! In addition, His blood sugar & bathing schedule is never followed, however he's charged for it! I'm exhausted from micro managing a facility that my Dad is draining his life savings for! DON'T MOVE YOUR LOVED ONES HERE!!
