"The STAFFORD is superb in all ways, but one —- the most important. Their food service is inadequate and inferior, in all ways. We were keenly disappointed to be served uneatable food, dry, overcooked, unseasoned. A terrible disappointment. This was after 4 meals there." - Alexandria…

"I moved to the Forum at Town Center sight unseen from out of state. Moving from my own home and into independent living has been an adjustment. This is an older facility and therefore has some maintenance issues, but new management has poured resources into repairs and up keep and the gardens and grounds here are without peer. Spring through Fall here our souls are nourished by the natural beauty . Food quality and quantity are above average, often excellent! Staff are all pleasant and courteous and go the extra mile to keep residents engaged and mentally sharp. We have both independent and assisted living so most needs can be accommodated.

"I felt many caregivers were not properly trained to transfer residents. There is a rule that only one person transfer is acceptable. Although I never needed more than one person I felt extreme pressure to move from the facility. I had caregivers try to transfer me by pulling on one leg, one arm etc., improper use of gate belt. I must say there are many food choices! Activities are interesting and varied. Housekeeping was good. Staff is friendly and helpful." - Esther…

Assisted Living, Memory Care, Independent Living

"In a day and age when most Senior Living communities are owned by REITs and managed to tight budgets, Touchmark continues to be owner-operated after 40+ years in the industry. The community setting is peacefully placed on the top of the West Hills, looking west towards the coastal mountains. The team of staff is incredible and seems to share the same values as the residents they are serving. My favorite part of this community is the nature trails they have carved through the hills. It makes for a great morning walk or place to sit and read a book." - Todd…

The Watermark At The Pearl

From $5,395/mo

1540 Northwest 13th Avenue, Portland, OR, 97209
Assisted Living, Memory Care, Independent Living

"Our family member is living at the Gardens, the Memory Care unit of the Watermark at the Pearl. Our experience has been very mixed. Pros: New building, great location, beautiful restaurant and valet parking. Cons: Opened in 2024 and this unit has already been through three memory care directors, showing a real fracture in leadership. Communication between leadership, staff and the families is poor at every level. There is a lack of transparency regarding the care of your loved one and whether the service plans are being followed by staff. Many of the direct care staff go above and beyond to care for residents but are motivated intrinsically, not lead by leadership. Food is mediocre, little engagement activity offered, housekeeping and laundry are disorganized. High staff turnover and not staffed for resident needs. Bored residents cause problematic behaviors. Management does not respond to concerns brought up from family. Our loved ones deserve a lot better!" - craig…

Christian is Creekside showing you the moment you walk through the front door how here you don't have to look any further. One of the best things they do is transportation with Michael and Julie. So much time goes into all the planning of field trips and the care they take on taking us where we need to go. Last is the GREAT food and love the kitchen put in shows. Thank you Creekside Village for all you do for us!" - Sarah…

"My Mother has been living in one of the independent-living apartments for seven years and is very happy here. They keep the grounds landscaping looking nice year around. Any time she needs anything, even a light bulb in the ceiling changed, they will take care of it. The difficulty is however, no one answers the phone anymore. Now whe we call its a phone tree and leaving a message. After that it can take a few days to get a response. Fortunately we haven't had anything urgent come up. She has another number to call in case of emergencies. Otherwise, she loves her home here at St. Anthony Village." - Noel…
