Not impressed at all. Staff rud, not clean, slow service. Dad was dirty & his room, he & room smelled. No proper utensels when requested or trimet lift. Left in diappers for hours. Therapy discontinued after 4 weeks. Told would never walk or use right hand again. Lost includs, $3,000.00 new hearing aids, teeth, wallet, checkbook, leg brace, & etc. There for 5 months where family was repeated informed by staff that he could never leave yet doctor told us he could. I brought Daddy home, & hes great now. Walking with help, feeding himself again, shaving himself, Learning to write with right hand again. Has put on proper level of weight again. No longer on all the downers the home had him put on. Daddy made the rams head doorknocker at Timberline lodge in 1938. 70th Reunion was this month & he was an honored guest. One of only 6 men there. Hes 93 yrs old now. You can find pictures of him on it or on my space under my name, that is on the Timberline webpage. It shows more pictures of Timberline lodge and stuff of great interest on him & a lot of the original builders. Ps ,all of a sudden his checks where mailed after his representative was told he took it all with him when we left, (10 months ago. Why the overly positive review from someon this week & his checks mailed to him (this week), but no teeth, hearing aids, or wallet. ???? Seems a bit odd!!!!!! Id be interested in knowing if a staff member wrote that review. Ive worked in nursing homes, hospitals, and foster care. I lived in Hawaii when he fell ill & took a few months to get the airfare home. Now Im trying to figure out (How to replace his teeth & hearing aids) . I bought and old mobile home, wheelchairs, walkers, etc with what little money he did have to bring him out of that place instead of going back to live in Paradise. I couldnt leave him or anyone I love in a place that leaves you in soiled pants, bed, and dirty. Youll be old soon, make unanounced visits so it isnt you
Pros: If they hadnt lost his teeth & could use his right arm to eat with, they did have good food.
Cons: Rude, dirty, very slow, lacking in person one on one respect or care. No water ever at meals.
