McMinnville Memory Care

The people working at Pacifica are the best. They are all caring, loving and patient. I would never want to leave. The food is delicious (according to my mom) and nutritious and I've noticed that the menu is varied and has nice things like fresh fruit.

The Springs at Sherwood

4.7

What we like the most about the Brookstone Alzheimer community is that it is clean and the residents are well taken care for. We would recommend this community to other families but it depends on residents needs. I don't think there is enough activity...they just took away what there was.
