StoryPoint Timberline

Staff is mostly pleasant except one or two when not being watched. I am in Independent Living & was told by tour guide & in the folder they gave us that I would be checked on once daily, I get checked on about 6 times a month. The food is mediocre & there is extra charge to deliver it to your room unless you are sick. I am not sick but it is painful to walk since I am waiting for hip replacement surgery, I think that should count. Cleaning service is adequate although I think they should clean outside patio door…

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My aunt was in the assisted living facility. It has a lot of activities, which I was happy to see. We got to eat lunch with her there, and it had an area that you could walk around outside without having the doors locked because it was kind of in a circle. She liked that really well. One of the activities she did with them was planting some roses in their garden. She stayed there about three months, and the staff was really good. They always came in and reminded her of who they were and what function they had there…

The staff retention is a major plus. The activities and amenities appear to be top notch. They were very good at answering any questions I had. This is one of my favorite facilities that I’ve toured

Nice place for one

The fact that I could stay in same space if I need to go into Assisted living - no more moving. Also they don't hassle you to do activities if you don't want to.

Review for Edencrest at Timberline

So far I would recommend it. They do seem to want to add services on after you get there which costs more. What stood out is the 2 bedroom units and the activities for my mother-in-law.

Disappointed

My husband likes to kiss people and hit them in the but. We are working on this. The day center he goes to each day handles this fine. Upon my return they told me he could not return. I question how they are going to handle a memory care unit. Others I have talked to understand and tell me this is not unusual. All were nice but...
