very friendly

The people at Firwood Gardens are all very friendly and they have done a very good job making my parents feel special and welcome, making sure they knew their names and were a part of the community. It's been a very positive experience.

Unsafe and dirty

My father in law was able to get out of the facility on Saturday and walk the streets for hours before a trimet bus driver called the police. We were notified hours after he went missing. With him having dementia this could have been really bad. The facility is in a really bad neighborhood and the streets are super busy. When the police escorted him back to the facility around 9pm that night he had a big cut on his eyebrow and his fingertips were cut. Theyvdidnt seem concerned at all and later we found out this isn't the first time he got out. Today we went to check on him and his room smelled like urine really bad. I pulled back the blanket on his bed and sure enough the mattress had a huge urine stain and so did the underside of his blankets. Unbelievable how these elderly people are treated. Please don't send your loved ones here.

Tour of Firwood Gardens

We really liked Firwood Gardens and had a great tour, but they were not able to do a 2 person assist which is something my mom needed.

Not very happy with how things are going!!

I am not very happy with how things have been going at this community for my dad. There has been a few miss communications and the staff seem to always be taking the easiest rout instead of the right way to do things. For example my dad really wants to walk him self to the dinning room since he is able and they will not let him. They make him sit in his wheelchair and push him because its faster then taking the time to patiently walk with him to his meal. I just am not happy overall and hope to see some improvements soon or else I will be making some changes.
