Recently, there was a possible emergency that required the bldg. to be evacuated and the entire staff efficiently saw to each resident's needs in a timely and caring manner. Cold drinks were provided, and pizza and treats were served for the lunch that was missed. We have a great group of people to live with and to help in any situation. Thank you, Cornell staff!
Response from the owner
Hi Barbara, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re very grateful for your kind words about our team during what could have been a stressful situation. The safety and well-being of our residents is always our top priority, and we’re proud of how quickly and compassionately our staff responded to ensure everyone was comfortable and cared for throughout the evacuation. We’re also glad the residents could still enjoy lunch together with some pizza and treats while everything was being handled. It means a lot to hear your appreciation for both our staff and the wonderful community at Cornell Estates. Thank you again for your support! Warmly, The Cornell Estates Team

I am a resident in the Independent side of the community. There is also assisted living here. I have been living here since last year and truly enjoy the warmth and friendliness. I can be as social as I like with residents and then return to my apartment for rest and reflection. The apartments in Independent are spacious and comfortable, with good closet space and the common areas are clean and well kept. Management is very responsive to work orders in a timely way. The activities program is robust and includes scenic drives in the community bus, trips to local farms and parks, rides to doctor appointments as well as board games and other activities. The three gardens are well maintained by the residents and are a beautiful space to enjoy. The building is situated on a main street but is recessed from the street. There is plentiful bus service through Tri-Met and the light rail (Max) is five minutes away for trips to Portland. Staff in the dining room, lobby and assisted living are friendly and helpful. They do really care about providing residents with good service. Tours are available for both independent and assisted living facilities. Come take a look!

With my work I am in several communities a week and I always enjoy my visits to Cornell. The dining room is always busy and vibrant. There are residents meeting and conversing in hallways and the lobby. It’s a very friendly place and everyone seems happy and cared for. The staff is friendly and seems knowledgeable. The building looks and smells clean. Overall great job by management team.
