My mom is treated like family here. And actually so am I, every time I visit, every staff person greets me warmly by name.<br>Running an Assisted Living facility can’t be very easy, not to mention hard on the heart, and while things aren’t always perfect, overall this place is absolutely top-notch.<br>I’m a local social worker and a lifelong Gresham resident. I’ve had my ears open for many years about the pros and cons of different senior living centers, because I knew my parents’ day would come.<br>I chose Courtyard Contains on purpose and have not regretted that decision the past 2 years.<br>A local Home Health nurse who helped mom recently said she was AMAZED by how clean, non-stinky, and attractive the whole place was, and that she couldn’t believe when mom pressed her pendant and has a caregiver in her room in 96 seconds. She said there are places around here the residents wait 30, 45, 60 minutes waiting, sometimes in their own filth because what they needed was help to the bathroom.<br>On average my mom waits maybe 2-3 minutes. 5 occasionally and 15+ almost never (and only around meal times when they’re scrambling).<br>TWO caregivers came by on their day off to check on my mom when there were some new staff in training, and one sends her daily texts with uplifting memes and pics. When she gets teary, they kneel at her feet and hold her hand til she calms.<br>The dining halls got a new chef out something recently, the food is fantastic, the menu explosive, a nice-restaurant level, not cafeteria slop.<br>I’ll spare you the horror stories I’ve heard/collected about OTHER comparable facilities in town. Just bring your dear one here. They’ll be loved and tended to better than anywhere else.
