Touchmark In The West Hills

840 Southwest Touchmark Way, Portland, OR, 97225
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…

"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…

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.
