I moved into Somerset Lodge. It is a nice place and very comfortable. It's owned by the Seventh Day Adventist. So you get turkey ham, turkey sausage, turkey bacon, and stuff like that. You don't get shrimp. However they eat, that's the way we eat, but we don't go hungry. We can do whatever we want to do. I have a car, so if I have to go someplace, I can go. They take us places if we want to go, like to the store. We've got some good staff people here, and no problems with them. Sometimes I like the food, sometimes not, because they have all different kinds of it. But most of the time I like it. The rooms are all good. We got sprinkler and alarm systems in all of the rooms. Mine is a studio, so it's not really big. But you get your three meals a day. They clean the room every week and clean your shower. We have showers which I like. They are glass doors. The layout of the community is big. It's like a hundred and twenty rooms with two or three floors. They have stuff going on every day here. They have exercise. They have a TV room where they show movies every day. We have a bus, and every Friday they go someplace. And a couple of times a week, they go out for breakfast or lunch. From what I understand from other ones, the other places are more expensive than this place.

Went and had a great meal with my Aunt. The food was delicious and the service was spectacular. Even the managers serve in the dining room. Spectacular doesn't even begin to describe my experience.

Somerset Lodge has been great! We agreed as a family to have my sister live here. She loves it and all the other residents as well. All the employees, from the great management teams to the housekeepers and kitchen staff are friendly and seem to really enjoy their jobs. Everyone wants to help and they do what's best for the residents. Going on trips with the bus driver is also a fun thing to do. My sisters apartment is very nice and the views are outstanding. Anyone would be lucky to live here!

We ended up putting my mother-in-law at Somerset Lodge Gracious Retirement Living. It is very pretty. The land that it is on is very pretty, and you can see Mount Hood from there. The facility itself is very clean. It is brand new and the rooms are good size. I really like the fact that there are two sets of managers - two sets of husband and wife. They live in the building, so there is always somebody there. They’re really nice. The dining room is set up beautiful. They have fresh baked bread and cookies everyday. They have cookies and coffee out everyday. That’s really nice. The atmosphere is very nice. They have activities too. The only suggestion would be, when someone new comes in, it would be nice if they have a service where the some of the residents or maybe one of the managers would go up and invite them down at dinner or lunch and sit with them. It has been a little hard of an adjustment for my mother-in-law; she doesn’t feel comfortable just walking upto a table and sitting down for a meal.
