"In the last two months an upgrade and remodel to common areas, program revisions have been taking place at Courtyard Fountains. The residences and staff continue the same friendly and welcoming “family” and place they call home!." - Pamela… Read more

"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… Read more

"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… Read more

"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… Read more

"Negativity is the current general mood at Bonaventura of Gresham. Staff turn-over seems to be unusually high with little or no communication with residents. Housekeeping is often non-existent." - Deanna… Read more
