Great place for dad

Overall experience 5: It was stressful when we had to move our father to the Portland metro area. We immediately felt like The Cottages was going to be a good fit.. Cleanliness 5: Every area that we've been in has been clean and well maintained. Our dad had incontinence when he was still mobil, which meant the carpet was hard to keep clean in his room; it was replaced with linoleum so it could be kept clean. The main sitting room and dining room have just gotten new furniture, but the old furniture was nice and didn't look shabby. Friendliness of staff 5: everyone we've worked with has been great. The aides in Cottage 5 are patient and understanding with the residents. The front desk receptionists and administration team have been kind, understanding and helpful when we have any concerns. Quality of care 4: overall the quality of care is excellent. I rate it a 4, only because our dad's clothes are constantly mixed up with other residents' clothes, no matter how well they are marked. (He doesn't care, but it's frustrating to some family members.) I really appreciate that medical, dental, podiatry and other services are regularly available so that we don't have to take our dad out for appointments. The aides in his cottage, that care for Dad day to day have been kind and professional. Activities 4: Many activities are available for residents who are able to participate, but our dad refuses to take part. He has gone on group outing in the van more often. But most of the residents in my dad's cottage seem to watch movies if an activity isn't scheduled in the activity room. I don't see a lot of interaction with residents otherwise. When family visits and weather permitting, he enjoys going out to the yard and gazebo.

I would not recommend.

I lasted about a week and took my husband home where I have been caring for him ever since. His room there was dingy and the atmosphere depressing.

Review for The Cottages Senior Living

I would recommend; but I can see that this facility does not meet the needs of every individual.If it would be a good fit for your loved one; then yes; I have found this facility to meet my loved ones particular needs more than adequately.

Review for The Cottages Senior Living

It is as good a place as you could find/ friendly staff and a well run machine (even tho staffing is an issue.) They're always concerned with my issues (although I believe I am the exception to the rule) I am there every day; and I have let them know I am watching over their shoulders. I would recommend to others.

The Cottage Senior Living is working out very nicely. So far no complaints. Would I recommend that place to someone, yes. Your assistance was much appreciated and very helpful. My loved one doesn't care much for the food and believes the community needs a new cook. I haven't seen many activities, and this maybe because my loved one doesn't partake in them.

Unsatisfactory

The facility is extremely dated. And they are understaffed and not very understanding.

our families experience

What we really like about The Cottages is the suitability for our loved ones needs - we really like the smaller independent living cottages that come with their own staff, dining hall and living room. We have not had the meals there ourselves but from the looks of the menu the food looks to be great. Based on our experience with The Cottages we would recommend this community to other families.

Cottages kicks ass

My sister and I are super happy with The Cottages. My moms family came out to visit from out of town and they all felt the same way about the facility. They take great care of her and she is doing well. I like the fact that it is strictly memory care and the cottages are set up based on cognitive ability which is incredible. The staff are super communicative, they send out weekly updates and have been proactive during the pandemic. They have an LPN on staff as well. They were such a big help with moving my mom out of state. I would 100% recommend them to others looking.

Highly recommend

We chose this facility because they provided furniture for us, you have the option to bring your own or they are able to furnish the rooms for you. The staff have been very attentive and our loved ones physical health has improved a lot since being here. I really appreciate the exceptional communication from all of the staff, if there are any updates or concerns we always get a call right away. They also send out weekly newsletters with updates. They have been very willing to work with us and accommodating to our needs. I would highly recommend to others who are looking.

I know I have shared this with your team but wish to share again... you are all amazing! To do what you do on a daily basis and truly care about what you do is so remarkable. I can't thank you enough for caring for my grandmother and taking such good care of her. She is happy at Pacifica. She loves the staff, the food, and all the activities.
