Reviews Sellwood Senior Living
May 2026
Wow! What can I say? Lisa S made things happen, on a short notice. She made sure that a space was available. And what a space it was. One of the nicest that I have seen. And affordable. Lina and Kerry both worked to insure that everything went smoothly. They all went out of their way to welcome my mother and treat her like family. They went above and beyond my expectations. Okay, so my mother was not overly impressed by the meals. But, that was more likely my mother than the actual food. Bonita, the young lady at the front desk. They are all rockstars here but Bonita is the first person you meet and she is always smiling and cheerful, very welcoming. I would strongly recommend Sellwood Senior Living. My mother was here only a short time time but the whole staff took special care of her.

Lisa was very willing to offer. Suggestions and explained everything
September 2025
Lisa at Sellwood Senior Living truly changed our lives. The care and support she provided for my grandmother was unbelievable. We couldn’t have loved her time there more. Lisa went above and beyond, making every transition smooth and filled with kindness. I can’t say enough about how much we appreciate Lisa and all of her hard work ” she made such a meaningful difference during my grandmother’s time at Sellwood.
July 2025
I had a delightful tour of Sellwood. It is pleasant, clean and a very friendly place. I haven’t decided on a location yet because of his specialized need for supervision. I am definitely considering Sellwood!
April 2025
The building is nice and full of light. It doesn't feel overwhelming like the more contemporary assisted living facilities. The staff are exceptional, warm, friendly and helpful. We worked with Lisa who made us feel at home from the moment we walked in the door. Much of the stress and anxiety of navigating this significant life change was eased by her kindness, intuition and empathy.
April 2025
Comfortable, bright and clean living areas. We were very pleased with our visit and also as a potential assisted living for our loved one.
March 2025
Wonderful experience here at Sellwood Senior Living. Lisa goes above and beyond for her residents and truly has a passion for the field of work she’s in. She’s very knowledgeable as well as very personable! Thank you Lisa!

My wife Norma and I moved into Sellwood Senior Living 3 years ago. It has been about a year and half since she passed away but while she was here, she was very happy. She loved the caregivers and medtechs and loved going to the diningroom to eat. Although I miss her very much and always will, I am still here at Sellwood. The helpfulness of the staff continues, Loraina, Lilly, Emma, Lizzy and Kennedy (really all of them), I am glad I am here. The apartments are really nice, well done, roomy with tall ceilings. Great place to live!

Senior Sellwood living has literally the best nursing staff I've seen in years! I personally have been to plenty of hospitals as well as care facilities but this place really has some of the most polite and professional nurses in the care industry!!‘ hands down.
August 2023
I had not looked at reviews since moving into Sellwood Senior Living in November 2022. I recently came across some negative reviews. from a few months ago and feel compelled to share my experience. First, I did my research. I had been an Ombudsman for long term care facilities for a couple of years after retiring from my career in medical office administration. I knew what my priorities were: cleanliness, attractive apartments, a rich calendar of activities for varied interests, and a respectful atmosphere. I have no regrets about my choice. I do not envy the Director, Sherry. Previously there had been a revolving door of Directors. I think she was #4 in two years. (Not unusual in these positions.) Underlying personnel and other problems needed to be addressed. She’s been here a year now and has made good progress. I am quite certain that the worst review(s) are from a disgruntled former employee and not a resident’s relative. Probably Sherry gets blamed for policies and decisions that are out out of her control. Tough job! Overall this is a good community. We have a great group of residents and some excellent staff members. Employee turnover is a continuing problem, here and in the industry. We have lost some good caregivers. I appreciate that I can express my opinion and make suggestions about this and other issues and feel that I am heard. Management meets regularly with Residents to address concerns and help make Sellwood a place we can all enjoy and be proud of.
July 2023
Friendly and caring staff! They went way above and beyond to make my grandmother feel like part of a family while she was there!
August 2021
Sellwood Senior Living is a great community for your loved ones! They have all have been so accommodating and sincerely generous with their time and concern for the residents in this community. The facility is brand new, well maintained, and staffed with friendly people who go out of their way to meet all the needs of their residents. There are game rooms, a theater, a hobby room and flexible dining options with a great food variety! But by far, what makes this place special is the group of people who manage the facility and the many employees from the dining room wait staff to the front desk receptionists, from the housekeeping staff to the executive offices, who really seem committed to making life enjoyable for the residents who call Sellwood Senior Living home!
March 2020
My mom lives here. It's very cozy. My mom's apartment is modern with high ceilings. She stays busy doing activities. She goes to bingo, garden club, rides to various places. The thing I like is the residents seem comfortable and no one looks sad. I notice that it does need remodeling in the main hall but it's vacuumed and doesn't smell. It's more like home and not sterile. It's why I like it. My mom was in foster care but hated it. Her health has been better since she lived there.
November 2019
The menu, is NOT up to Par for $5,000 A month!!!!…—‘“®—”Some of is is quite desirable, fresh fruit, juices & some Entrees! Needs some work though!°©—
May 2018
I have not even visited this location but called for information. It was clear up front that my family member wouldn’t be a good fit for this spot financially. But the lovely woman who answered the phone spent a good amount of time giving me information and alternatives. This was my first call and I so appreciate the kindness and knowledge that I received over the phone. Thank you!
January 2018
Nice place to be
August 2012
Nice big 1 bedroom apartments. but short on skilled employees. This is not the employees fault, but the large corporate owner, who refuses to put out the money. It's a nice building with wonderful neighbors. The Emeritus Corporation cares more about money than the people they claim to care so much about. It,s too bad for the people that trusted their advertisements and moved in.
