My mother moved into The Stafford 10 years ago as one of it's very first residents. And what a fulfilling relaxed time it has been. At every stage of her slowly declining health, she was marvelously attended, and not just her physical needs. Every day was filled with choices of different things to do; fun lunches and tours at a Portland locale, practical trips weekly around town to grocery shop, etc. Attention to her needs were always met, but it was invisible to her. Every visit was accompanied by friendly informative conversations. The staff is fantastic, the facilities are exceptional and I'd encourage everyone to explore The Stafford. Although your needs are likely to be different, The Stafford will easily meet them and add so much more.

The Stafford is a beautiful and welcoming place. It feels like a home. The staff feels like family and is always quick to help or offer an encouraging word or something to laugh about. It is a happy atmosphere that feels like the staff is there because they want to be and like being there rather than It is just a place to work. The food is excellent and the activities are engaging and fun. It is an added bonus having the salon, caretakers and physical therapy on site.

We find The Stafford a wonderful, well-run place to live. It is quiet yet friendly. It is attractive and not institutional looking. Our apartment is comfortable. The maintenance staff is very responsive when there is a need. Lots of activities are available. Excellent workout room. The dining room is an exceptionally pleasant place to eat with a very extensive menu and very good food. We would highly recommend the Stafford.

I have been inside The Stafford many times and I'm always impressed by so many things. The staff are always so friendly, the accommodations are exquisite and feel like being in a grand hotel. They literally have a restaurant with wait staff and personal service which the residents can order whatever they want from a full menu. If I was looking for a place to retire in Lake Oswego, this would be my first stop. I HIGHLY recommend The Stafford!

My dad did not ultimately need placement in memory care, but if he ever does, this is where I would place him. The staff interacting with him were caring and respectful and the facility is warm and welcoming. During this challenging process they showed great compassion and kindness to our whole family.

We worked with [name removed] on 2 separate visits while we were making our selection for my parents. She was outstanding! Out of 8 facilities we visited, she was the most personable, professional and knowledgeable representative of all. I can't say enough good things about her.

The staff here go above and beyond all of my expectations. They are taking 100% care of my Father and they pay a lot of attention to his needs. I really didn’t think they would be on it this quickly. From what my Father has told me, he really likes the food. The grounds themselves look good and it’s nothing super fancy. The only thing I could say is that the carpet could use some cleaning. The reason why we picked this facility I because of the quality of care for the price that you receive. I would recommend this community to other people.

Exceptional care for my 96 years old mother for her final 3 years of life. Caregivers who embraced all aspects of residents care needs including emotional well-being. My mother felt at home there.

We toured this community for the care for my mom. We did like the staff who were attentive and able to assist us with the questions that we had. The dining area was very dark and my mom was not comfortable. We were able to have a meal and it was good. This is a nice community and we would recommend that families tour the community for the care of a loved one.

The facility was beautiful and clean. The staff was friendly and they were very caring towards the client we saw them interacting with. I really liked the private room with shared [Removed] bathroom, and large shower area in the bathroom. We love the proximity to our mother's house.

I am so grateful for the crew at Washington Gardens. Amazing professionals that also make you feel like family. My mom is doing great there and they go out of their way to make her feel at home. One of the things I love most about Washington Gardens is that they have outdoor space that residents can access, and the whole place really feels like a home. My mom spends very little time in her room. I also love that I can visit any time of day or night. It has been a difficult 8 years caring for my mom, and this is the first time I feel like I can breathe and not worry about her! A true gift.

Very caring Compassionate care givers. Professional, respectful and courteous even when no one is watching. Kitchen extra clean and food is good. I ate there often. Activities staff cater to individual’s needs. Professional/office/Administrative staff treated us like family. The nurse is never going to get enough praise from me. I have been a nurse since 1983 and work in the field, to trust my loved one to their care should speak volumes.

The care at this community. I like the staff and they are taking good care of my brother and that makes me very happy. The community is clean and always is nice to enjoy. My brother does like the menu and the large variety. The community has activities and he is liking that he is able to walk out doors with other residents .I would highly recommend this for the excellent price and care for other families.

This is not far from another Brookdale. [Removed], the sales person, did a good job showing us around. We thought it was bigger and nothing was wrong, it was fine . We didn't feel the connection with the community.

The ED is very knowledgeable he took a good amount of time showing us around and explaining everything. The staff were very engaged with the other people there (who lived there). The building was very clean, activities were going on and people were involved when the time is right we will be moving in.

My mother-in-law is very happy at Brookdale Cheyenne. It's very clean, smells nice and the staff is very friendly. She's getting involved in activities and making new friends. We chose this community because we felt it was a good fit for her and it was close to home.

My mother-in-law is doing fine and she likes it there. The care, activities and meals are good at the community. She has put on 3 pounds from the staff told us when they called with an update. The Executive Director was nice and had a nice apartment available with her own bathroom in it. They community is close to my daughter which is why we picked them.

My dad is doing great in the community we picked. It is in a closer location and they are taking good care of him. The staff and place has been great and my dad is happy with the activities and meals. Everything is enjoyable for him. The chef makes great tasting meals. The staff and residents are always nice. He is getting good care here being at this community.

I am very happy with everything this community has been providing my loved one. All of the staff have been extremely friendly and have provided excellent quality of care to my mother. She has not been doing so well lately with her health so it gives me a great peace of mind to know she is in good hands. I would defiantly recommend this place to anyone looking into assisted living.

The staff are quick to respond when my mom needs assistance. They are attentive and we have good communication with them. I was impressed with the entire staff when we first came to this community. They all came up to us said hi and introduced themselves. They have a lot of independent residents that mom can interact with. The food is good and they keep the community clean. They offer daily activities that she enjoys participating in.
