I toured this facility. It was very clean, but not as updated as some of the other facilities. The set up wasn't quite what we wanted. It was ok, just not the best fit for us.

We had a very good tour at Sellwood. The lady who gave the tour was very nice. The staff seemed to know every resident by first name. The facility itself was great. It just wasn't suitable for my loved one. The location was not conducive to getting outdoors at all, and it was in a very busy location. Also the multi-story building would have been confusing to her.

Activities were slow due to covid but are now coming back. It's an adequate community. It's in a good spot of town, handsome on the inside. Sharing a parking lot with a 7-11.

One of the better communities. The staff are very personal and open to input. The meals are really good and they have good food. The cook has been there for 12 years and makes homemade desserts. The activities have stopped but it is due to Covid.

Nice place and nice people, Building is in great condition and rooms are very nice. I don't care for the location. Prices are a bit high. 

Business response:

Thank you again for taking the time to let us know how we did. We hope you have a great day!

The staff here did what they should have in the care of my friend. It was also a very clean facility and saw nothing wrong with it. The only problems I had was the fact they were not that cooperative and accommodating. There were a few times that I needed help and I spoke with the front desk and they bounced me from person to person. They just didn't seem to want to help me. Also, the food was not top rate by any means and it was just institutionalized food. I would not recommend this facility as highly as other places.

We toured this community. The staff was very helpful in the questions that my mom had at the time. The menu was appealing and the environment was nice and clean. The activities would have been helpful. My mom just did not find what she was looking for at the time. Families might want to consider a tour for the care of a loved one.
