DO NOT SEND YOUR LOVED ONES HERE. THERE IS NOT ENOUGH STAFF AND MANAGEMENT IS TERRIBLE. They do not ensure there is the correct protection for residents and caregivers when there are sickness going around and residents ARE DYING. Things like COVID, upper respiratory infections, shingles and caregivers have to work a whole shift without any face mask. A resident was found ON FIRE IN THEIR ROOMS because they were smoking cigarettes with their oxygen tank and no one monitored them and the alarms never went off. They could have blown up the whole building. Caregivers are encouraged to come in to work sick because management does not want to deal with staffing.

This is a lovely little assisted living community nestled on a cul-de-sac and within short walking distance of the Milwaukie Senior Center. This is one of the best kept secrets in Clackamas County. If you are looking for assisted living for yourself or a loved one, check this place out first. Top notch management and care. Good food and even roosting chickens!
