Nile Living

I can't speak to the care services because my mom is not getting any. My mom likes the food better than the place she was in in Idaho. I think they're prices are a little high. It's one of the most expensive places in town so I think they could do better on the price. I worked at a facility for 3 years and they offered about the same things and were half the price of Emeritus at Springfield Campus. They have a lot of activities over at what they call The Meadows which is a block away. I'm not sure how they get away with that. I looked on the board today and out of 8 of 9 activities easily half of them were at the meadows.

The director called 8/9; sm 1BR 2750/mo; lg 1BR 2890/mo. Sm adv=only 1 neighbor, more sunlight b/c on corner. Met w/the director...nice facility, indep. locally owned, clean/no odors. Location=walking distance. Incl. wkly hskp & linens washed, W/D avail on ea flr, 3 meals/day+snacks. Looked at 108 (1BR for 2890), 525 sqft. Small patio (ground flr), garden area & walking path just outside back door, can hang pics&shelves/install rolling shelves in cabinets, paint w/approval. Recently remodeled so cabinets newer, tile floor in kitchen area. Walk-in shower.

Lovely--concidering

Calaroga Trc. Looks great. Will look into pricing. Readings/authors. Politically active.

I'll take Mom here for lunch and let her see the facility and see what she thinks. It also doesn't have much outdoor walking opportunities.

Also liked this home. Have the same problem with moving here also, i.e., no furniture.

This also is a nice place and more reasonable.

Loved this one. The only 2 drawbacks were the studio was extremely small (the smallest I've seen yet) and it's a little farther out than I'd like.

We had to do a virtual tour with Powell Valley which was difficult because I was not going to place my mom somewhere without stepping into the facility. There was nothing negative about it at all, it just was not going to be the right fit for us.

This community was second on our list. The staff we met were nice and the community was clean. They did offer activities for the residents. This community was just a little higher priced than what we were looking for.

My tour of the Brookside Eugene Alpine Court did not go very well. The whole time I was touring, there was this very loud music playing, and it was very distracting. Also they did not have any openings at the time.

Calaroga staff were amazing when I was called on to help a friend transition from her home to a higher level of care. Leah [last name removed], Jody [last name removed] & Sharon [last name removed], Sam at the front desk are great-outstanding really. The rest of the staff and residents at Calaroga are fantastic. People are active, social, friendly and seem to love their living situation. There are lots of activities, the location is awesome and the apartments beautiful. The only negative feedback I have which seems to be consistent in other reviews, is with the quality of the food, which is poor, and the time it takes for residents to receive their meals. I have been there when it has taken an hour to have our food delivered and the food was terrible and my elderly friend reports she has waited 1.5 hours for an omelet. The wait staff are great but there is definitely a disconnect in the kitchen. Work the issues out in the kitchen Calaroga and you will receive 5 stars from us. Thanks.

I would say that overall it's pretty good, but there is no activities director, which is really a bummer. It's taking a long time to get a new one. The food is not always very good, it's not made with the healthiest of ingredients. Some of the workers are really great though and the cleanliness is pretty good.

food could be better.

There some definite gems in the facility, but we've had issues with communication between med-techs and the staff nurse. Conflicting calls as to the state of my mom's condition. They have repeatedly not called the primary or secondary contact at all. This was during an emergency situation. My biggest concern is inconsistent medical care.

I picked this community because of ,location, price, view and diversity of residents. They need to improve the, maintenance of the building , food and communication with the residents I would not recommend it to anyone.

You have to be proactive and involved and make sure that things are happening the way Evergreen indicates they should be. The staff are positive and responsive when I come to them with concerns. Overall the facility is good, although they're having staffing issues with housekeeping, which has been one of my biggest issues.

We had negative interactions with the staff in the first couple of weeks, even after the assessment they still had no idea how much care our loved one needed. The staff and administration need to improve on their internal communication with one another.

The care services are sometimes a hit or miss and the activities are very limited on the memory care side . They could work to improve on their med checks in the residents rooms more frequently and also for the price we are paying we really think they should provide things dental cream, tooth paste, shampoo, conditioner and clean towels. We want to visit to visit and not have to worry about what is getting done and what is not getting done. We thought the assisted living part was well done, get library and rec room with a pool table. They have outdoor activities and BBQ-ing

I would tell others that there are some staffing challenges. This has recently been improving over the last few months. I'm hopeful things will be better. My loved one likes the variety of food offered. It would be nice to have more healthy options available for the residents to choose from for meals. The activities are limited due to the pandemic but getting better.
