Independent Living Community in Beaverton, Oregon

Paula

It's difficult right now, but the staff at Edgewood Downs is friendly and they have guidelines to make everyone safe. The only ones at the moment that can go in are designated caregivers so it protects the residents. My mother-in-law loves the food. She gets 3 meals a day and 2 snacks delivered to her room, and she doesn't have any complaints about it. The staff has been friendly and more than helpful with mom. She has things she is confused with, like working the coffee pot, but the staff is always there to help her out.

Edgewood Downs didn't have a memory unit. It was more of an independent living facility and they were bringing care people in. The pricing was much better than some of the other places, but because of my dad's memory issues, I have reservations even with the good price. My mother liked it and she's somewhat independent. They painted and gardened, and she liked the independent stuff that they offered. The shower in the units had a two or three inch lip with a hole in the middle to enter and exit, and it didn't seem real big. My parents are more on the edge moving around, so the shower gave me a little bit of concern. With all the activities, the pricing, and the friendly people, if it was just assisted living, I probably would have jumped on it right then and there.

Edgewood Downs is not quite as clean and bright, but is still acceptable. It was pretty good-sized. The dining area was very nice and rather large. The staff who toured us was very nice and friendly.

Hearthstone at Murrayhill was well thought out. The 1-bedroom apartment was very well laid out. They have an experienced staff. They also have the same activities. They have bingo and dancing. I had lunch there with a friend of mine. They have good staff members, good food, and a good facility.

The apartments at Edgewood Downs were too small. There's a library and activities room that seemed to be satisfactory. The staff was quite friendly. The dining area looked more like a restaurant than a cafeteria. It was well maintained, and they had facilities for dogs and cats.
