It was in early January of this year that I was under a very short time line to move my mother from…read moreone Foster care home to another. I contacted Peter Wilhelm and he right away was the nicest, most knowledgeable advocate for seniors that I had yet to meet. After speaking to him about my mother's needs, limitations, and struggles at her current home, he diligently worked by contacting many owners and providers to seek availability. He also searched the DHS websites for information. After several weeks I was becoming a bit panicky, as I was under a time crunch. And then by the grace of God, he let me know of Amanda Shields at Magnolia Innovative Senior living in Garden Home. Wow, talk about a refreshing, warm wonderful person, as well as her new foster home, built specifically for foster care. I can't thank Peter enough for sending me and my mother to one of the nicest places I have ever toured, and my mother couldn't be happier!! If you are seeking an advocate to assist you in finding placement for your elderly loved ones or have friends who need help please contact Peter as he is a miracle worker. Thank you again Peter!

He was thorough, detailed, prepared, friendly, and always followed through with what he said he was going to do. My experience was outstanding - and when you are dealing with an experience as fraught as putting an aging parent into a care facility, professionalism and compassion is number one. Thank you Peter for your outstanding work.

I've worked with a number of Care Managers and Hospital Social Workers over the years and Jennifer is by far the most helpful. She helped me find an Adult Care Home for my father which included setting me up on a handful of viewing appointments based on my father's needs and our budget. We ended up finding a wonderful home for my father and Jennifer's guidance for how to navigate the system and key decisions was so valuable!

Edwin was always looking his Sunday best and no matter how grumpy he got the caregivers were always so kind and in good spirits haha. My grandfather passed away this last March, but he was cared for by G&J caregivers for 3 1/2 years.

I really can't put into words how wonderful they made the last years of my grandfathers life. I highly highly recommend G&J for anyone looking for home health care for their elders.

I hope to never need him again as a criminal defense attorney, but I will not hesitate to call upon him for any matters of law. He is now my family attorney. I recommend him to friends, family, and those reading this review.

Both of my parents entered hospice care with Gracious Care Hospice on the same day. This transition…read morewas expected for my Mom, but unexpected for my Dad. It was an overwhelming time of change. I'm especially directing this review towards the hospice team that came into my patents's home to provide hands on care. We were very fortunate to have Alyssa, Trey, and La Sarita help us out. They were excellent communicators and very caring and competent. They exhibited great teamwork. They addressed our questions without making us feel like we were wasting their time. An additional note. After my Dad passed, just 13 days after entering hospice, my Mom did not want to sleep in her bedroom alone. Gracious Care Hospice made arrangements so we could keep my Dad's rented hospital bed so I could sleep next to her and hold her hand as she grieved the loss of her husband of 68 years. That act was outside of the hospice routine, but was a key to helping my Mom pass peacefully, 17 days later. Thank you, Gracious Care Hospice.

It's a true blessing we found Hearthstone of Beaverton. Not only did it meet every practical criteria, but the people and philosophy of service have continued to help our mom be as independent as possible in a most loving atmosphere.

Our family is happy and comfortable that our loved one is happy and comfortable. In all the different areas of service: foods, caregiving, housekeeping, health, admin, and Will (Jack-of-all-trades, master of resident comfort): we thank the Hearthstone family.

Autumn of Life spoke with me about my mother's situation and we all agreed the best thing for her would be a small home with 3-5 patients. I was provided with a list of 4 homes in my area that met that criteria. This all happened much, much faster than anyone anticipated. AoL were so professional with their service. It really made a very difficult situation so much easier. I do not like to think about what the alternative would have been like in a world without Autumn of Life. We all want the very best for our loved ones. AoL realizes this and did everything in their power to get us the services we needed to keep my loved one comfortable. In the end, my mother only spent a few days at the care home Autumn of Life recommended. They made a time of grief less stressful. I cannot thank the staff enough for helping me ease the suffering of my mother in her final days.

The residents aren't walking around like Zombies. They're smiling. Interacting!! Having fun! My mom is currently at a spot where not many residents are mobile. Where by 6pm it's a ghost town. And where the staff (minus ONE amazing staffer,) just doesn't care about the residents. It's pretty and new there but there is no warmth. No LIFE. Here at Merrill Gardens, there are so many activities that they have to print it on 11x17 paper and even then, the days are STACKED full!! They have two working vehicles for transportation. With two smiling drivers (Robert and Bob...no joke!) There are daily movies, bingo and bridge and coffee club and crafts and so so much more!! There's margarita Monday and Wine Wednesdays. Friday is a special cocktail hour. They want to get people together and having fun. And they do. And have I mentioned the food? It's actually really good. They have a menu. And a BUNCH of chefs and two restaurants. And 18 servers!! Oh and the staff. Have I mentioned them?? These people with smiles and hugs and WARMTH. All wanting to make it truly HOME for these people. The new leadership of Melissa Ubiles and Karla S bring a warmth, kindness and levity that was missing from Merrill Gardens. I'm so excited to move my mom to her forever home and to have these wonderful people taking care of her!!

This is specific to Memory Care wing and staff. We moved my…read moreparents from Touchmark to Merrill Gardens- we liked the double rooms and sunny outdoor space. We came during the transition from Ackerly and it was difficult, especially on the business side and I am not completely satisfied on that front. Invoicing and ACH has not matched and caused agitation. Monthly texts for proper communication and documentation has continued until just recently (6months). However, I only have great things to say about the memory care unit and staff. They've been stretched, they've pushed and they have been dwindled. However, the staff continues to be amazing. The managing director, Emily, is fantastic. She's worked double time and double responsibilities since our arrival and always has a smile on her face. Med techs are fantastic, personal attention and communications - throughout our residency. Recent additions of new social activities staff: Michelle and Stefana has been incredible. The two work with residents in groups and independently. They reach out and include family members with texts, emails and photos. They have implemented new practices. It has been amazing. Recently they hosted a surprise birthday party for my mother- serving her favorite things, pizza flowers and decorations. It was amazing. I love the personal attention the staff brings to the unit. Fresh baked goodies, dressing my parents up for occasions- including curling hair and makeup. They truly seem to care. I'm so happy we moved. I'm not always around and when away I am confident my mom and dad are in loving hands.
