Our family's experience

Food options are very good, and she really likes the staff. She seems to be getting plenty of attention and care. There are lots of options for activities, but I'm still trying to get her to take advantage of them.

Make sure you get to know the staff. They are friendly and do care about providing the best for your family member. They also can help if your family member is having a hard time adjusting to their new home.

Review for The Esther at Riverbend

My client required a higher level of care upon moving into this facility than what they were equipped to provide, but being newly opened and eager to fill their rooms they accepted her as a resident regardless. Unfortunately, the promised services fell short. For instance, housekeeping and laundry, which were advertised as weekly services, were inconsistently delivered. Although my client paid a premium for laundry assistance, it was rarely completed, forcing her to manage it herself, which ultimately contributed to her falling. Communication with her primary care physician was also lacking; they failed to report her falls adequately. Additionally, essential wound care orders were not addressed, and a discontinued medication continued to be administered despite multiple discussions about the issue. This particular medication, which cost around $[removed] per month, was unaffordable for her. Out of concern for the quality of care, I installed cameras in her room and discovered the resident coordinator and another staff member rummaging through her belongings in the middle of the night. They claimed to be searching for keys that had been missing for two months, which had already been replaced. We were informed that the facility offered off-site activities, but these were never fulfilled. My client also required assistance with bathing, which was infrequently provided. While the facility is newly built and visually appealing, the actual care provided did not align with what was promised or paid for. There are numerous other concerns I could detail, but it is clear that the level of care falls significantly short of expectations.

There really is now place like Home. But The Esther is as good as it gets.

When Dad got COVID 4 days prior turning 100 yrs. old he lost the strength in his legs and after rehab we felt he needed some way to keep a quality of living that we couldn't give him at home. He wasn't thrilled at first and is somewhat set in his ways (you can imagine). But the staff and "famaily" at the Esther have treated him like a king. They have taken care of his ongoing medical needs, social desires, and our requests for him. The folks at the Esther are upbeat and helpful anytime we arrive to visit and they take Dad to his many appointments for medical needs. We couldn't ask for much more from folks there and would recommend starting out searching at the Esther THANK YOU ALL [name removed]

Took my 1st tour about a year ago. No ramp to get in. 2nd tour month later and had conversations re: Medicaid contracts. The Esther stated that they were applying for their Medicaid Contracts within 6 months. I paid my $[removed] deposit and picked my choice of room. Fast forward ... NO INTENTION OF CARRYING OR APPLYING FOR MEDICAID CONTRACTS. FACILITY OPENED UP OVER 1 YEAR LATER. DEPOSIT AND RENTAL COSTS INCREASED BEFORE THEY ALLOWED TO MOVE IN. BASIC STUDIO COSTS $[removed]. Avoid this bait and switch method of operation!!!!!!!!!

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Oregon regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Oregon regulations for Assisted Living.
