Nile Living

They have just seen my grandmother through the rehabilitation of breaking her hip bone and then returning home and all of the staff members at Van Mall have just done a great job advocating for her care.

The people are great and want to please. The surroundings are appealing.--beautiful rose gardens. The food... not a 5 star rating.

I would recommend the Powell Valley Assisted Living & Memory Care. Everything has been going well. I haven't had any issues with this community. This is a great assisted living facility that offers a clean and friendly environment. The care givers do a good job at taking care of all of the residents. The value is great because you get a wonderful community for a reasonable price. I highly recommend it here.

They are doing fantastic. I really appreciate the referral from A Place for Mom. We really like Van Mall, and he really likes it. They have a lot of fun stuff to do, he just hasn't had much chance to join in yet. They really have been just terrific.

Overall we're very pleased with how things have gone at Van Mall! It's a very nice looking, clean, well kept community. The common areas are all very spacious to allow room for residents with wheelchairs and walkers. They also do a great job with the food. The community just had a homey comfortable feel overall, not like some of the places we saw that just felt like hotels converted for seniors to live in.

Our Mom and Dad were both living at Powell Valley for less than a month and both passed away there. You might expect less because they weren't well known yet, but the whole experience couldn't have been better if it had been family. They were extremely caring, warm, thoughtful, and efficient. I would recommend this place to any and everyone whole heartedly. The food was excellent and superbly presented, the care was very good and lovingly supplied. The environment was clean and updated. The grounds and facility are beautiful and well kept. They have beautiful rose gardens and a courtyard with water features. I would love to be there when I need support.

While it's only been a couple of weeks, my mom appears to be completely enjoying her new home and lifestyle. She is becoming more active than she has been in years, which is so beneficial to her health. I can't remember the last time I saw her so happy and excited about life. The staff are all fantastic as is the food. I'm so glad I performed my due diligence when selecting Van Mall as the community where my mom will spend, hopefully, many happy years.

It’s a wonderful place. We’ve been very impressed. If our loved one needs someone to help with her cell phone or hang something in her room – someone is right there to help. She’s very happy. There has been enough parking.

Things seem to be going well so far! My grandparents seem very happy. It's a nice looking community, the staff have all been friendly, and from what I've heard the food is very good! It's definitely worth a look if you're looking into senior living options.

I just left from visiting my Dad at his new home. About a month ago he needed to move from his independent living facility to one with greater assisted living. He is 94 and he was starting to fall more often and feeling more lonely at night. We found Powell Valley through "A Place For Mom". It has proved to be a great find. In Dad's words they are very friendly and welcoming at his new place. Wen he walks down the hall everyone says hello. There are a bunch of Packer fans some of which have stopped in to discuss the team. He also enjoys sitting out in the courtyard reading, watching the water in the ponds and the people walking by. All of my interactions with the staff have great and they have welcomed my Dad into the community. I am so happy that we found this great community!

They're great. They cost about the same or a little bit lower than the rest of them around town so that's good. They only thing is they have a schedule or charges after you rent the aparment. We're up to $1100 and we don't need everything in those departments so I think we're paying more than we should for that. He needed to be shown where the dining room was a couple of times and he needed his meds given to him and a bath. He doesn't need the first one anymore and he'll refuse the baths as much as he can. So we're paying $1100 for the meds and baths that aren't happening. Legally they can't force him and I wouldn't want them too. No matter where he went, that would be the same. He doesn't take part in the activites but I see a lot of other people doing them and they seem to have a good time. They're very good people there - I like them.

Calarago is a great place.

Awesome! I feel the people here are so important. Everyone I met loves this place. The atmosphere is lovely also. This option is my favorite so far.

Newer facility. Well maintained. Good concept of care and felt very comfortable there.

We had a personalized tour arranged and the staff and facility were very impressive. They even arranged for a 30 day trial stay in the one open studio apartment that was available. Mom seems to be enjoying the facility, residents and staff.

What a beautiful community in an amazing area of Portland (And they have parking, lots of it!!!!). The new dinning room remodel is to die for and there are some of the amazing views on each floor. I love the idea of a salad bar with all the fresh items to choose from. The community is almost like a little town, with a general store, a used store, chapel, , post office , beauty salon all inside the building!

I am very happy with this community for the care. The staff is outstanding. and keep me informed on any changes. The community offers a lot of healthy meals that are very appealing. We liked the list of activities that are offered to the residents. We would recommend this community for the care of a loved one to other families looking for care.

My parents are in the process of getting a few small things worked out, but for the most part, everything is going quite smoothly. The place is very nice. My parents' apartment is awesome, which was really the savior in this process.

This is a nice, clean and well maintained community. The staff are very interactive, friendly and always ask if they can help you. The wait staff are very attentive. The food is good for people over 70 as I feel it needed more spices. The portions are good sized and if you want more you just have to ask them. They offer daily activities and are even willing to try activities the residents suggest. I would recommend this community. I would also recommend A Place for Mom as they were a great help.

I love Calaroga & everyone working here from Leah, Kelly, Luke, Sam and all the others. They all go out of their way to assist you in anything you need. The food leaves something to be desired. Sometimes it's outstanding, sometimes fair & sometimes yucky. I don't complain, I just don't eat it. I'm sure it's difficult to please 200+ folks. It is what it is. I can always count on the food being great when served at a function i.e. birthday parties & special occasions.
