No one wants their loved one to be in memory care, but after a horrible experience in Corvallis, I moved my husband to The Iris in Salem and it has been the best place for him. The facility is clean and beautiful and the staff has been the best. He has been looked after with care and kindness, which is what we all want for our loved one. He is treated like a human and not a worthless annoyance (part of why he’s no longer in Corvallis.) A huge thank you to the Bonaventure Community. I totally recommend The Iris for anyone who has to make this difficult decision.
