Our family experience

Staff is super friendly and helpful. Lots of activities to choose from. Food is good but tends to be bland. Apartment size is comfortable. Love that all three components are together and available. Independent assisted and memory. They have integrated hospice which I also needed in addition to potentially the memory care in the near future. It is nice that there is also transport to and from doctor appointments with me living out of state.

Parents are happy

There were some challenges with "move in" but they were eventually overcome. There are not many activities as I had hoped but my parents enjoy the socializing at meals more than anything. I wish it was a Medicaid step down facility. Overall, my parents are very happy there.

Loved and cared for!

[name removed] is the memory care director manager, I knew as soon as I met her and [name removed], That Bonaventure would be the perfect place for my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law has the best care because of [name removed] and [name removed] at Bonaventure. The staff treats my mother-in-law with the utmost respect and dignity. The memory care team is an amazing team. The work they do is very physical and time consuming and they do it all with patience, love, and care.

Lack of medical attention and poor communication

All ones! Presentation was great but help was not there. He fell in the night hit his head on the dresser and laid there calling for help for an hour. Sent to the hospital alone and no follow up. Called me in Mexico instead of daughter [name removed] who was the emergency contact. He came home with cellulitis on both legs which is life

Review for Bonaventure of Salem

Took great care of my mom. My mom started in assisted living. There they cared and loved her. My mom moved to memory care. Memory care had issues with keeping staff but that is normal. They loved my mom until she passed.

Great place

We moved to Bonaventure several months ago by choice while we are still active. The residents are friendly and the staff are very helpful. Our apartment is quite comfortable and easy to maintain. The facility is kept clean and is well decorated. We are very happy residing in Independent Living at Bonaventure of Salem.

Things to know

Turn over on staff is high, but they are constantly trying to train and hire. Assisted living is a little lacking due to high turnover, so as a family member, it helps for us to be involved in my mother's care . There are a lot of activities that are great for those not mobility challenged, but limited if in wheelchairs. I do love that family is invited for dinners and activities that we do not have to pay for !

Bonaventure of Salem review

Medical staff including med techs and CNAs have high turnover rate and they present as inexperienced, condescending to the elderly residents, and careless when providing day to day medical care. I do not recommend this place to anyone with memory issues or requiring medication management. Dining experience is frustrating because the wait staff is poorly trained, there is high turnover, and residents wait 20 - 30 minutes to order then 20 - 30 minutes to get food and drinks.

[name removed] was very nice. [name removed] ended up with cellulitis and went to the hospital. We were so disappointed in the experience but he was a temporary resident and the regulars looked fine.

Great People, staff does a great job!

I feel they do a great job and the best they can as staff in this area is hard to keep! They do have great people there! My dad won't do any of the activities, but they try very hard to encourage him to participate.

Needs some improvements

I give higher marks for independent living than assisted living. In assisted living, Staff has a high turnover rate, and lack of staff makes it hard to take care of assisted living residents in a timely manner. I would recommend Bonaventure of Salem, but with the reservations that I have outlined.

My review of Bonaventure of Salem

Our experience has been awful since day 1 when our room was not ready when we were told it would be due to it needing new carpet. The temporary room they gave us had not been cleaned and no one showed up to clean it, so I had to do it myself so I could get my loved one moved it. When we moved into her actual room there were bugs on the wall, could not get Wi-Fi to work, could not get TVs to work with their cable, they did not provide an alert bracelet until we asked constantly for a week, the food is awful. They quarantined all residents to their rooms due to a Covid outbreak right after we moved in and they did not offer my loved one food for 24 hours due to them not being prepared for a quarantine and not paying attention to who did and did not get food. I had to take her food and talk to several people to get them to feed her. I could go on all day. Been there for a few months, all the above happened in the first 10 days.

I thought Bonaventure of Salem was wonderful. The staff were VERY friendly, and very helpful in helping us make a decision. As much care as our loved one needed, it would not have been a good placement for her. But I was very impressed with the facility.

Employee of Bonaventure

Bonaventure is the best retirement center in Salem Oregon. It's very clean and very well kept up with because we are the flag ship of Bonaventure. I've visited quite a few retirement centers in Salem Oregon but have not come opon a better center.

Would not recommend. Constant turnover and understaffing results in insufficient care.

1. Food. The menus are planned by a central office for all Bonaventure facilities so there is no customization for local or seasonal food. Mushy canned or frozen veggies year round. The meals are carb loaded, and the corporate dietitians are unwilling to customize local meals for diabetic needs. For example, the "Breakfast for dinner" theme night was pancakes with no Low-sugar syrup available, and a brownie for dessert. 2. Staffing. The Salem facility cannot keep enough staff on hand. The new hires constantly quit. This resulted in insufficient care for the residents. For example, one Sunday morning in October there was no wait staff available to serve meals at the dining room so the residents just sat in the dining room. Medical team short staffed and sometimes nighttime medicine isn't delivered to sediment rooms until 11 pm. Also staff have to work extra shifts to cover the missing employees, and this results in hardships on the staff.

Quality care for my parents

This facility is really good. My parents have really settled in and are starting to feel like it's home. They're becoming comfortable here and that makes my family comfortable and tells us that they're being well cared for. The facility is, however, struggling with staffing shortages. Just like many others in the industry are. That has caused some issues, but we're working through them (ie: timely bathing and assistance, etc). The staff is friendly and has really taken the time to get to know my parents. They offer activities, but my parents haven't chosen to participate in them very much yet. Communication with the family is good and they're easy to get ahold of when we reach out. The front desk staff is excellent. They have tons of information available and are always helpful with tracking people down when we call and need to speak with someone specific. The food is good quality and variety. They've recently changed chefs and I haven't tried it since then, but have heard all good things. I would recommend them to friends and family.

Compassionate staff, highly recommended

Bonaventure of Salem is a GREAT place! They did a wonderful job and with her and while she was on hospice the employees cared so much. They even sent me flowers after she had passed away. I wish we could afford to move here ourselves, it is not overpriced, especially for what you get.
