We moved my 90 year old mother to Parkland in January of this year. She was very unhappy with…read moreliving conditions at a different assisted living home. She liked the people and atmosphere at Parkland but was hesitant with uncertainties. The community relations director, Marie Jennings was very considerate of my mom's feelings and reassured us that when the time was right everything would work out. Three weeks later my mother told me she wanted to make the move. We called Marie who told that an apartment had just become available. No sales pressure, just waiting for us to say yes to the move and things happened very rapidly in an in the elder care environment which is so often overshadowed with clouds of insufficiency. My mother is still quite the foodie and likes the food at Parkland, especially the soup. One of the first things I noticed was the happy and visible caregivers who always seem to be working in teams. My mother has lots of health issues and does lots of complaining but she likes the caregivers who finish her care with hugs and reassurances. I see her smiling when they leave. My wife and I travel part of the year. Recently my mother's motorized wheelchair broke down. She was quite distraught and wanted me to come home and fix it right away. This was impossible. I called the Parkland triage person and asked if the maintenance person could take a look to see if some simple and basic was the problem. This did not happen. When I arrived at Parkland a week later I discovered the charger had simply come unplugged. I brought this to the attention of Marie. She gave my wife and I options for how this could be handled. At our request she called the people involved who by the way are very busy, into her office. We talked about how important it is that when my wife and I are away we can feel good about my mother's safety and well being. Everybody makes mistakes but Marie Jennings handled this situation as a true caring professional. Thank you Marie and Parkland staff. You are all amazing. Elwyn Behnke

I recently visited several homes in McMinnvile for possible residency for my mother. Parkland is…read moremy first choice. The criteria I used was extensive but the main reason for my choice was the happiness I saw in the residents and the overall positive environment that they lived in. Most everyone had a smile on their face and I saw whole families having lunch or just visiting with their loved ones. I also thought the living space in the apartments and studios were nice and light and bright. The only reason I did not give Parkland 5 stars is because my mother is not yet a resident there so I can not speak from her experience. In my opinion, Parkland is a wonderful place for a loved one and I would rest easy if my mom becomes a resident of this facility.

Oh wow. I bookedmarked this when my grandmother was staying here. She has since passed, but I did…read moreget to visit her there and what a wonderful experience. The staff was phenomenal. So kind and patient. My grandfather gave this place glowing reviews and when he visited he was treated like family. We even celebrated my grandparents anniversary there! The staff set up a little spot and we did lunch, cake and karaoke. What nice memories! This was quite a few years back so I have no idea if it's run by the same management. As a side note for any aviation fans the spruce goose is next door at the evergreen aviation and space museum.

From the owner: Located in McMinnville, OR, Marjorie House Memory Care Community provides a safe and secure…read moreenvironment where those faced with the challenges of dementia can trust when they can no longer meet the increasing needs of their loved one. Our memory care living community is housed an incredible, state-of-the-art facility with a home-like atmosphere. By focusing on memory care as opposed to other areas of profit-driven senior living, we are better able to focus on quality of life through care, potential of life through activities, and security in life by design.

If you love your family member, don't let them live here. Many of the med techs and Caregivers are…read morevery wonderful and do their best. However, management could care less. When care staff notified management that they were low and almost out of incontinent supplies, management told them "they have to work with what they have". Sadly, not enough incontinent supplies is the norm at this facility. They don't have enough staff for the high acuity of the residents which leaves care staff only able to do bare minimum and sometimes not even that. Most residents rarely have the opportunity to shower because there simply isn't enough staff to assist with this. By rarely, I mean a month or more. Residents who are able to call for assistance are left waiting extremely long periods of time. This is partly due to poor staffing and partly due to their absurd call light system (call lights notify pagers that the med techs have and the med techs are responsible for walkie-ing the caregiver. If a med tech is on break and another busy, the care staff doesnt even know about the call) On one occasion, a resident who was on hospice and was actively dying in his wheelchair, was not allowed to return to his bed in his room because the maintenance worker was painting the room (why someone would paint an occupied room in a memory care facility is beyond me). While the room might be freshly painted, they are rarely cleaned By housekeeping. The housekeeper prefers to clean near the offices and common areas. I saw dried poop in a residents shower sit for over a month before it was cleaned. If my loved one needed memory care, I would look elsewhere were.

I really enjoy working here at this facility. I have been part of many communities in the past but…read morethis one has a special feel. It's very much a family of residents and staff. During the pandemic, I witnessed many staff, families and residents coming together in the best interest of all. The food is good, the activities is exceptional. There have been solid workers here that have been part of the facility for years. McMinnville is a wonderful town and the people all exceptional.

As many facilities like this struggle this one does as well. Don't believe the website pictures:…read morethe exercise room has been moved to make room for yet another office for an employee, the jacuzzi tub that would be so beneficial for seniors with arthritis and body pains is non-functional, hasn't been useable for years with no plans to fixit or replace it, activities are pretty limited and minimal as are outings, and getting transportation to shopping and appointments is pretty limited as well. There are a few staff members that shine but for the most part they don't seem to genuinely care about residents or their comfort and needs. It is sad. There is great potential for this facility but they fall very short.

Vineyard Heights has the potential to be a wonderful place but the care is just so substandard. If…read moreyou don't need much care, it could be good. For example, If you have urinary incontinence you can just lay in your wet bed and they will complain about having too much laundry instead of suggesting a depends change in the night. Also, we were charged for years for a level of care higher than we received. When we called it to their attention, the director acknowledged it and agreed to pursue a refund then she ghosted us. My mother moved out to a higher care facility and I've been chasing that overcharge for over a year. The grounds are beautiful but housekeeping, personal care and especially problem solving are a real problem. If you are only looking for medication management and meals and laundry twice a week, this could be your place. The food is good.

She had pictures taken that looked like a three year old took them, talked to a total of three people for networking, and then botched/lost the only offer that we received and made it seam like she was doing us a favor.
