Emerson House

One year Private Pay, approved for Medicaid, they moved her to a isolated room and threatened a move out letter coming As soon as I found another place they tried to tell me we would owe for thirty days notice.

My mom was here for about 4 months, the facility is clean and well set up. The head nurse was very nice. But most of the caregivers didn’t seem to care much, multiple times I went in and mom was naked. The last time the med tech blamed my mom, this was the night before she died and she was unconscious. He clearly did not care. My mom died here 5 days ago and no one from the facility has contacted me with condolences. Her doctors have. While I liked a lot of things about this facility I think they have a ways to go with compassion.

The first thing you will notice at Emerson house is how friendly the staff are, but what speaks more is the relationship between the residents and the staff. I was able to tour the building and you can tell that the residents feel comfortable being cared for by the staff, who are also very interactive and supportive of the residents. My grandma had dementia before she passed away and I know what it's like to be around someone with dementia, and it is truly noble that the staff at Emerson House care for these people for a living. I am considering apply for a job here in the near future

My husband, who has late-stage Alzheimer’s, has lived at Emerson House Portland for just over a year, and I generally visit him on a daily basis for an hour or more twice a day. I couldn’t be happier with the loving care he and all the residents receive from the staff, the amazing life enrichment program the facility provides, and the emotional support I have received from both staff and management. In all my extended visits I have never seen the staff exhibit any of the behaviors claimed by Christopher (who spent all of 1 day there) or Shayla, and Ari. On the contrary, I observe the staff going out of their way to meet the needs of each individual and always showing amazing patience and respect for the residents living with this dreadful disease. I am continually grateful that I was introduced to Emerson House by a friend a few years ago and that they were able to accept my husband when I could no longer care for him at home. Being a part of the Emerson House community is making this difficult end to our happy marriage of 52 years so much easier. Like many, I pray that the day will come when memory-care facilities are no longer needed, but until such time, I highly recommend Emerson House Portland to any family who is looking for a loving and caring environment for a loved-one suffering from dementia.

This is the house of Dementia/Alzheimer's. How good can it be? They don't have enough employees for persons there but it's ok I guess. It's clean that's for sure
