Cogir Senior Living

The didn't have a room so quickly available (we had 3 days) but I liked it very much. I know they have a lot of Parkinson's things going on there, if we had more time we probably would have gone here, it was also more expensive.

It's great, I'm very happy there. The stratford ahs been meeting my needs fine, I really can't say any more than it has everything I need, they let me alone if I want to be alone, if I want to do something they have activities, the foods good and it's exactly what I needed and good for somebody that lives alone. The offer is always out there for people to come and stay for a couple of nights, try the food, and that's really the only way you can compare it to the other living communities out there. I went to this one first with the intent of going to others, they just offered everything I needed and I didn't need to look any furthur.

A true 5 star!!!***** I was looking for a home for my 85 year old Mother who has dementia and I believe I found the perfect spot for her at Redwood Heights. My first communication was with Rosalind and what an amazing lady. She spent over an hour on the phone with me and finally 2 years later and many, many phone calls and tears we finally got mom situated in her new beautiful home. I had looked at many others but they just didn't have that warm fuzzy feeling like Redwood Heights. It wasn't an easy task and we are still trying to get her acclimated. Every employee and staff member that we have come in contact with has been awesome. They have gone above and beyond trying to help Mom and believe me it has not been easy. She has wandered off a couple times and they have been spot on to get her back to her room and calmed down. From Mike, to Rosalind to Michelle, Gloria, Rhonda, Aaron, Scott, Vanessa, Jessica, Debra, etc. I can't even remember all of them but let me just say that we love all of them. Mom is not easy and they have made her feel so at home and she always says, "I love it here and everyone is so nice"! I would absolutely recommend Redwood Heights!

The Princeton Village - Nathan is the person who runs the show, and Melissa is the sales manager and they're both very caring, courteous and kind people. They took time to meet with her, and be with her. They're very helpful, although they have just one maintenance guy. Still. the apartments are in good repair and are very clean. They have a good laundry facility, exercise room, and a movie theater. I was really fortunate that the Princeton had a one-bedroom apartment available right when I needed it. The Princeton is also one of those places that, if you run out of personal funds, will continue to care for your loved one on Medicaid.

We recently moved a relative to Arte. It is a beautiful faciilty and the food is superb. Since it is not a capacity some things were less than perfect, but nothing is ever just perfect, the staff was more than willing to correct any issues and work with us to make sure all our relative's needs were met. It is now under a new management and great things are happening. Our relative is enjoying the activities and all they have to offer. He feels welcome, has made new friends and knows the staff cares for him. We have the peace of mind that he, although living independently, at over 88, is in a setting where he can thrive but then has help if needed. The new management is reaching out to the residents and their families for input on how to make it the best it can be. New residents are moving into the beautifully appointed apartments weekly. Be sure and take a tour when looking for such a place for yourself or a loved one. You will not be disappointed.

We had my father living there about 2 weeks. He died about 2 weeks ago, after being transferred from the hospital. I thought their level of care was excellent; They cooordinated with hospice and checked on him every hour. The staff were very welcoming to us. They were very professional - they have a private dining room, and they went over all the details with us. I have to admit that, not knowing what all this cost, it was competitive with others but it came to about $165 a day for both the care and the studio apartment. That was for a kitchenette, a chair and a sofa bed. The apartment was very bright and well-lit and the facilities were very well taken care of.

The only complaint I would have is there is not a smooth transition when you first move in. There is not a system in place to make sure new residents have their medications and no one seemed to have any answers. My mom wishes there was more to do, there are no arts and crafts, which she would like.

I am learning to trust the caretakers. Most are extraordinarily kind. That includes administration! My only concern is an issue that I have found throughout this industry — it’s hard to attract and keep caring, committed, and competent staff. Like every facility I’ve looked at in the last two years — in both Washington and California — all are working with an almost skeleton staff. It’s a national issue!

The facility is bright and clean. It does have a slight urine smell but that is quite common in memory care facilities. The common areas are in the center of the building with an outdoor courtyard in the very center. The rooms are on the perimeter of the building, separated by a nice, wide hallway which makes a great walking "track" in an oval around the entire building. The staff are super friendly and take good care of the residents. Every time we've visited there have been ample staff on site caring for and interacting with the residents. The resident care manager, Tommy, is very responsive and professional and has kept us informed of mom's activities and care. We had a couple of hiccups with administration in the form of communication and paperwork, but once we brought it to their attention they were quite responsive. Overall, I would recommend Bay Pointe Memory Care.

When I first got here I was confussed about my needs. This apartment could have been in cleaner condition. The patio still has dead bugs and cob webs all over it. The cement has gaps and debris that needs to be vacuumed and fixed. For the most part it is fine. Not sure why cabinets and the microwave are so high in design for seniors. It is warm and dry. I looked at many places. I picked this one.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. My mother has been there over two months and doesn't have anything negative to say about the staff as well. The room is a good size, we love the fact she has a private bathroom to herself. The activities are daily, however my mother doesn't keep up with time very well and seems to miss them a lot. I have not tried the food personally, my mother told me it all taste the same. My only issue with Cadence is that she misses breakfast most mornings, and other meals at times because she isn't aware of the time.

Facilities are nice. Everything works in my apartment very well. Staff is always on top of things. Food is mediocre. I prefer to cook for myself. Activities are varied and suit a wide variety of interests.

Good food, cleaning and linen service weekly, and the staff helpers seem really nice. The community really tries to engage with new residents. Lots of activities. Maintenance can be a little slow to help with some things like cable, spraying for ants, etc.

Cogir staff are very sweet and accommodating. However, there were some initial issues with getting them to take over medication management (my grandma's only assistance). Overall it's worked out okay though. The management does a good job there, overall. - The apartment is smaller but we knew the larger 1 bedroom units just weren't available off the courtyard, and so she chose a smaller unit to prioritize her dogs. The kitchenette and lack of defined kitchen or dining space is not ideal, but she's adjusting. - I would say that the housekeeping doesn't seem to sweep the floors very well or at all, but no complaints about the services otherwise. - The food is overall pretty good. But not always meeting grandma's standards. - The biggest complaint is that they said they could take her places (non community outings and non grocery store outings) and I haven't been able to get an answer on what days or times that this service is available. I asked multiple times. I got a vague answer of when driver isn't taking people to appointments (which is Tues, Wed, and Thursday) or store outings and when driver is available. I will ask again and try to press for more info. That was very appealing that she could go some places without me and feel that independence she really wants. We can't take advantage of the community taking her to medical appointments because of her memory issues, she needs my assistance. But she could go get her nails done or go to the store without me. the nail salon doesn't do acrylic nails. That's something that we found out after the fact that was a bummer. the community is quite beautiful. They let her have all three of her pets which is so nice of them. They also have been handling my grandmother's emotional outbursts well. They clearly are professionals and skilled.

Facility and staff were great, and accommodating. Corporate admin was impossible to access directly, and had a number of issues that needed to be resolved. All in all, I think it's probably the best value in Seattle from the sites I have seen.

They are working on improving the activities. As stated above. Food quality and food service times. It was very slow. Activities were lacking.

The Activities Director, the Marketing Director, the Community Relations Counselor and the Transportation Department at Acoya Troon are superb. They stand out in the Assistent Living arena. The energy and efforts of the heads of these departments have turned Acoya Troon from an excellent assistant living residence to a vibrant, stimulating community for those who want to enhance and stimulate their later years.

It is a friendly environment. Overall facility is cleaner. Some issues with housekeeping caused by personnel changes. The staff is helpful and addresses concerns. The food is good with several options. It's good value for the money.

Solista Milwaukie has a very positive and welcoming vibe. Both the staff and residents are supportive, encouraging, and always willing to help one another when needed. While the staff can be stretched thin at times and could use additional help, they consistently remain respectful, kind, and helpful. The food is good, though the portions are on the smaller side. There are plenty of activities to enjoy-bingo, bunco, beanbag baseball, and even poker. It would be great to see a few more amenities, such as a pool table or a hot tub, which seem reasonable considering the prices. The apartments are spacious and allow residents as much privacy and dignity as possible. The community also features a movie room, a small library, a garden area, and a courtyard. Conveniently, Fred Meyer is just half a mile away, and Walmart is two blocks down. It would be nice to have a business center with a printer and some vending machines, and I personally wish I had a patio.

I first visited Solista Milwaukie in [date removed]. I liked it immediately but the cost seemed prohibitive to me. Like many who live here I am on a fixed income (sometimes it seems “broken” ?? but I couldn’t stop thinking about it the grounds and surrounding area felt much like the neighborhoods I’ve lived in. I looked in Portland southeast, northeast southwest and northwest and the issue for me was off street parking. I just did not want to struggle to find a place to park my car it Just didn’t work for me. I’ve lived in the Milwaukie area since the 60s and this is my “hood” and I wanted to stay here. I worked with the community representative. We sat down and worked through the finances and suddenly I knew I could live here. I’m happy with most things I’ve learned. The other residents are very friendly and outgoing. I’ve only lived here for a week so it’s all new but I know I’ve made a good decision to live here. Still lots to do to get settled in but it’s going just fine.
