Review

These reviews paint a picture of a care community that is often described as warm, welcoming, and homelike, with a strong emphasis on the people who make it run. Across several notes, families and residents repeatedly highlight the importance of a friendly, accessible front office and a staff that genuinely cares for both residents and their families. While there are mentions of occasional frustration with communication and management, the prevailing sentiment is one of appreciation for the atmosphere, the compassionate care, and the personal connections that develop over time.

Alicia, who gives tours and introductions, is frequently singled out for making a positive impression. Reviewers recall being shown around the Forest Grove Beehive and feeling confident about the care their loved ones would receive, with statements like "Alicia showed me around and it looks amazing!" The same community benefits from the steady presence of Tara Davis, the office manager who is described as greeting families as they walk in and going above and beyond to support both residents and their families. Tara is praised for her front-of-house leadership as well as her behind-the-scenes work, with several reviewers noting that her dedication helps the community feel special and well organized. Positive mentions of Tara come alongside appreciation for Ana and Stephanie as well, who, along with Alicia and Tara, contribute to a caring, personable atmosphere.

The Beehive's activity programming also earns strong praise. Stephanie Stevens, described as the life enrichment coordinator, is repeatedly credited with creating a lively schedule that keeps residents engaged every day. Reviewers note that there is more to do here than at prior places they've lived, with activities and outings that bring variety and purpose to daily life. There is a sense that Stephanie's efforts help residents feel occupied, connected, and content, and many express gratitude that they don't want her to leave. The activity focus is complemented by other staff contributions, including a maintenance team member who responds promptly to resident needs and a kitchen staff that works hard to prepare meals tailored to individual likes and dietary requirements.

People's personal experiences with care at the Beehive vary in detail, but there is a clear throughline: genuine care and a responsive administration when concerns arise. One reviewer notes a long-term engagement with the community and describes it as a place where they have lived in a calm, peaceful environment with a pleasant plant-filled ambiance. Another reviewer emphasizes that the staff and administration have been more responsive than at a prior facility, highlighting both emotional and physical care for a loved one. In some accounts, families value the compassionate bedside manner of caregivers and the attentiveness of the administrative team, which helps them feel heard during challenging times.

There is, however, a candid counterpoint about management and staff. Some reviewers mention difficulties with getting through to someone or with communication, and one note explicitly describes poor management of the office staff. Another message laments the turnover of caregivers who may be unhappy with their immediate supervisor, suggesting that appreciation and staff morale need attention if the community is to retain its strongest caregivers. These concerns acknowledge that while theBees remain a place many trust with their loved ones, ongoing leadership attention to staff satisfaction and reliable communication is crucial to maintaining the high standard the community aspires to.

Beyond human connection, reviewers consistently describe a welcoming physical environment and a sense of odor, air, and layout that feels inviting. The Forest Grove Beehive is characterized as a warm, inviting place where the overall vibe contributes to residents feeling at home. There are specific mentions of a peaceful environment and plants growing within the building, which are cited as part of what makes the facility feel special. Reviewers also point out practical positives: friendly, helpful personnel, a focus on addressing individual needs, and prompt maintenance support that can fix a variety of issues.

In stories of end-of-life care and memory care, the Hawthorne House experience is referenced with particular emphasis on empathy, accessibility, and administrative responsiveness during difficult times. One reviewer who does not often award top marks still gave Hawthorne House high praise for how caregivers and medical staff supported their mother, the administrator's approachability, and the office manager's effectiveness during a painful period. This reflects a broader theme across these facilities: when circumstances are tough, the people in leadership positions and the staff on the floor can play pivotal roles in easing the journey for families and residents alike.

Overall, the community emerges as a place with many advocates who feel their loved ones are treated with kindness, respect, and individual attention. While there are cautions about communication gaps and turnover that could threaten continuity of care, the prevailing narrative is one of a caring environment where the administration, nurses, aides, cooks, and activity staff strive to provide a supportive, home-like setting. For many families, this blend of warm atmosphere, dedicated personnel, and meaningful activities makes Forest Grove Beehive - and its sister communities - a place they would consider for their loved ones, and a place they believe is capable of providing not just care, but a sense of belonging.
