Pacifica Senior Living Calaroga Terrace

We live far away but need to place our elder in Portland due to recent episodes of falls. So we paid a private agent in Portland city to make serious inquiries and personally check-out Calaroga Terrace on our behalf. This facility's claims of effective security, great meals, and Internet service are untrue, and their practice of raising rent up to 04% a year constitutes elder abuse against those relying on fixed income. Moreover, our source advised us that informal interviews of residents and their descendants revealed a general unhappiness and dissatisfaction with the facility and bullish management. And on a less important note, the recent decision to paint the building ship- grey is a puzzle because the website photos show a warm, cheerful cream color enhancing the brick exterior and leave us wondering why admin would opt for a depressing façade. Their publicity is deceitful and telling, leaving us unwilling to place our loved-one in Calaroga Terrace though we had wanted to avoid a buy-in retirement community.

My mother moved into the assisted living portion of Calaroga Terrace about 6 months and I have been visiting her every week. I like that they combine independent living and assisted living so there aare always activities. As she heals after here stroke, she might want to move into the independent living so they can continue to be with some of her new friends.
