I am writing to share my experience living in Portland's Parkrose Chateau Community (PCC) for just over a month. Having heard about how happy and comfortable an acquaintance's mother has been living here from 2022 to the present, I had high hopes. During the past five weeks, the staff and residents have helped me form even higher expectations for the future I look forward to. The community offers wonderful food, family, friends, activities, outings, transportation, and more.<br><br>PCC is a truly diverse senior living option for folks brought together to create community.<br><br>Juliette Diamond - not a bot

Everyone at Parkrose Château is helpful and kind. It feels like family. And the building is beautiful. Everyday there are a variety of activities and also live entertainment every week. Such a great place for my mom who has been there for almost 7 years.

I am going into my third year living at ParkRose Chateau and I love it! The Managers are wonderful with full access of their Open Door Policy. The Activity Director does an awesome job off offering numerous fun activities and is always open to suggestions. The building is bright and cheery inside and out. Our Maintenance Manager is always on top of his duties. I love our Family Atmosphere because we are smaller than many Senior Residences. I feel so spoiled by not having to cook or clean my apartment! Yes, Bette Lulu my cat is quite happy here too! I highly recommend my choice of Home!

We recently moved my mother to Assisted Living, but so very much appreciated the care and lifestyle. She enjoyed at the Parkrose Château. All the staff and helpers were supportive and encouraging, and they created a most appreciated family atmosphere. I highly recommend Them for anyone looking for a well managed senior citizen community.
