Things to know
Turn over on staff is high, but they are constantly trying to train and hire. Assisted living is a little lacking due to high turnover, so as a family member, it helps for us to be involved in my mother's care .
There are a lot of activities that are great for those not mobility challenged, but limited if in wheelchairs.
I do love that family is invited for dinners and activities that we do not have to pay for !

My Experience So Far
The management and staff have been friendly and helpful. However, there seems to be a rotational issue. The two managers that I dealt with just a few months ago when I was setting up my mom to live there, are no longer managers there. And the monthly meetings that were supposed to happen to discuss the progress or issues related to my mom have yet to happen.

Bonaventure of Salem review
Medical staff including med techs and CNAs have high turnover rate and they present as inexperienced, condescending to the elderly residents, and careless when providing day to day medical care. I do not recommend this place to anyone with memory issues or requiring medication management.
Dining experience is frustrating because the wait staff is poorly trained, there is high turnover, and residents wait 20 - 30 minutes to order then 20 - 30 minutes to get food and drinks.

Great People, staff does a great job!
I feel they do a great job and the best they can as staff in this area is hard to keep! They do have great people there! My dad won't do any of the activities, but they try very hard to encourage him to participate.

Needs some improvements
I give higher marks for independent living than assisted living. In assisted living, Staff has a high turnover rate, and lack of staff makes it hard to take care of assisted living residents in a timely manner. I would recommend Bonaventure of Salem, but with the reservations that I have outlined.

My review of Bonaventure of Salem
Our experience has been awful since day 1 when our room was not ready when we were told it would be due to it needing new carpet. The temporary room they gave us had not been cleaned and no one showed up to clean it, so I had to do it myself so I could get my loved one moved it. When we moved into her actual room there were bugs on the wall, could not get Wi-Fi to work, could not get TVs to work with their cable, they did not provide an alert bracelet until we asked constantly for a week, the food is awful. They quarantined all residents to their rooms due to a Covid outbreak right after we moved in and they did not offer my loved one food for 24 hours due to them not being prepared for a quarantine and not paying attention to who did and did not get food. I had to take her food and talk to several people to get them to feed her. I could go on all day. Been there for a few months, all the above happened in the first 10 days.

I thought Bonaventure of Salem was wonderful. The staff were VERY friendly, and very helpful in helping us make a decision. As much care as our loved one needed, it would not have been a good placement for her. But I was very impressed with the facility.

Bonaventure is the best retirement center in Salem Oregon. It's very clean and very well kept up with because we are the flag ship of Bonaventure. I've visited quite a few retirement centers in Salem Oregon but have not come opon a better center.

Would not recommend. Constant turnover and understaffing results in insufficient care.
1. Food. The menus are planned by a central office for all Bonaventure facilities so there is no customization for local or seasonal food. Mushy canned or frozen veggies year round. The meals are carb loaded, and the corporate dietitians are unwilling to customize local meals for diabetic needs. For example, the "Breakfast for dinner" theme night was pancakes with no Low-sugar syrup available, and a brownie for dessert.
2. Staffing. The Salem facility cannot keep enough staff on hand. The new hires constantly quit. This resulted in insufficient care for the residents. For example, one Sunday morning in October there was no wait staff available to serve meals at the dining room so the residents just sat in the dining room. Medical team short staffed and sometimes nighttime medicine isn't delivered to sediment rooms until 11 pm. Also staff have to work extra shifts to cover the missing employees, and this results in hardships on the staff.

Quality care for my parents
This facility is really good. My parents have really settled in and are starting to feel like it's home. They're becoming comfortable here and that makes my family comfortable and tells us that they're being well cared for. The facility is, however, struggling with staffing shortages. Just like many others in the industry are. That has caused some issues, but we're working through them (ie: timely bathing and assistance, etc). The staff is friendly and has really taken the time to get to know my parents. They offer activities, but my parents haven't chosen to participate in them very much yet. Communication with the family is good and they're easy to get ahold of when we reach out. The front desk staff is excellent. They have tons of information available and are always helpful with tracking people down when we call and need to speak with someone specific. The food is good quality and variety. They've recently changed chefs and I haven't tried it since then, but have heard all good things. I would recommend them to friends and family.

Compassionate staff, highly recommended
Bonaventure of Salem is a GREAT place! They did a wonderful job and with her and while she was on hospice the employees cared so much. They even sent me flowers after she had passed away.
I wish we could afford to move here ourselves, it is not overpriced, especially for what you get.

Do your research with various facilities before making final decision
Don't go here. Not enough staff to care for patients, huge turnover of caregivers, low pay scale, also they do not provide any personal items i.e. toilet paper, soap etc. The food is really not very good. Breakfast is ok. Lunch and dinner is not. Response time in getting to room is lagging, insulin times are not regular, meals are served late. Patient has to be always asking for laundry to be taken and returned. Positives are the caregivers are very kind for the most part and try very hard to meet the overwhelming demands. Breakfast is a good meal. My friend had a very difficult adjustment initially but seems to be adapting and accepting the deficits and trying to be grateful for the positives. When thinking about moving we realize these are possibly common problems in most care facilities. I was warned ahead of time that Bonaventure South was a mess administratively. I think they have also had a large turnover there. The price per month is awfully expensive, but she feels it is worth it, for what she is getting.

My kids toured this community. They liked this community but it seemed the same as a lot of other communities and the issues that they are currently experiencing. The under staffing is one of the biggest issues a long with it being out of my budget.

No complaints about the tour and this community was nice. It made it very hard to make a decision and this community was patient orientated. The location was a little further away and that was what shifted my decision. The staff were all competent and this was a great tour.

The Care, But Manage Your Expectations
The community cares. They are understaffed due to the pandemic. It can be hard to get a hold of the staff in the memory care unit. The only communication available is by phone.
You can tell they really care about the residents.

The facility is newer and very nice and will tailor a care plan to your individual needs. They are working hard on the staff and trying to fill positions. I would recommend this community to others based on my experience.
