6 Independent Living Communities in Hillsboro, Oregon

Rock Creek looks very similar to one of its sister communityies that I've visited. They have the same floor-plan and apartments. But their 1-bedroom apartment was $500 more expensive than the sister community's 1-bedroom apartment, and it was very nice. I saw the large dining area and it's very open with lots of light. The place itself is nice, but it is located on a quite busy area. During the tour, I could see outside into the garden area, and they have like a library with shelves.

We visited The Springs. It was a good experience. From what we saw, the place was newer and perhaps somewhat better quality. Actually, it was a little more upscale than my mother felt comfortable with. The location wasn't quite as desirable from her standpoint either, but it was definitely a strong competitor for her choice. The rooms were well-appointed, well-maintained, and slightly smaller than other places, but attractive and comfortable. They had more physical fitness facilities, but the activities offerings were good and about the same. What we saw from the staff was good too. The food looked good, but we didn't eat there. There was a library, which was good. They had a small swimming pool, and a therapy pool along with a fitness center that was fairly well-equipped and spacious. Those were outstanding features. The overall décor and appearance were above average too. My mother is quite happy there.

Rock Creek was very nice. The staff members were great. They had independent living and assisted living. They showed me the exercises they do. I want to move there, but they don't have cottages.

The people at Rock Creek were really nice. The location was good. They had a thing that they were running for May that they extended over to June in terms of a move-in price. They're flexible in offering us what worked out for my mom's financial situation. Her room is a third floor studio. It's basically unfurnished, but it had everything that she needed. It's very clean and it had a nice little patio. They had a library and a reading area. They had an agreement with the Hillsboro Library where people can request books to check out. They have good exercise programs and a calendar of things that people can get involved in. My mom needs to be able to socialize, so it looked like a really good fit. The facility was pleasant and modern.

I visited Rock Creek. I saw one of the rooms, and the staff was very helpful, and knowledgeable. Rock Creek was closer to my doctors and where I get my meds. They have a gymnasium of sorts.
