Moving my mother from independent living to memory care was a tough decision. The St. Andrews team, especially Darci, were very helpful in answering all of my questions and getting to know my mother. While it's only been two weeks, I just returned from a business trip and this is the first time in years I didn't worry that she was okay.

I have 2 years of experience visiting my friend here. The facility is poorly organized, lacks adequate and consistent supervision, frequently changing staff, very tiny rooms, made misleading statements when showing a sample room, which was much nicer and bigger. Residents had frequent falls. This is not a place I can recommend, although some employees are caring and competent.

For those of us who have loved ones living at St. Andrews know the importance of having staff engaging with residents, getting them to take part in daily activities and getting out of their room.. Most recently I have been more than impressed with the bubbly, jovial, engaging vibrant activities leader Ms. Nikitta. What she has done in such a short time with my grandmother is more than anyone has done the entire time she has been there. So many times I have called/video called and she is in her room and now when I call she is hardly ever in her room or if she is telling me about Ms. Nikitta and what they did that day. When you are unable to be around all the time knowing St. Andrews has highly qualified staff that are making a difference makes families such as ours very happy. I am so glad my grandmother has Ms. Nikitta, .great job St. Andrews!

What a beautiful place! From the grounds, to the architecture, St. Andrews is one of the most beautiful buildings in Portland. Additionally, the director Joshua and his team are wonderful with the residents! The activity director and her assistant are amazing along with the nursing staff. This community is unique in that it truly is the heart of a wonderful neighborhood that loves to stay in connection with the St. Andrews residents. There is very much a sense of family here!

My sister with early-onset dementia is a resident here, and while we were concerned the age difference would spook her, she has settled in very well. The staff is taking great care of her, and were very receptive to incorporating our experiences in her care to make it best for everyone. She takes full advantage of all the activities, and is even happier and engaged than when we were caring for her!
