    Kind staff, overall facility failure

    I'm conflicted: I've seen kind, caring staff who treat residents with dignity, and some people here clearly put residents first. But overall it's an absolute disaster - administration is ineffective and unaccountable, many staff are incompetent, residents aren't respected, visitors are restricted, and living conditions are poor. This place needs major change or should be shut down.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment in these review summaries is sharply mixed, with one account strongly positive and another strongly negative. The positive review emphasizes a warm, resident-first culture with mostly kind, caring and loving staff who treat residents with dignity and respect and contribute to an overall good atmosphere. The negative review paints a very different picture, characterizing the facility as an "absolute disaster," citing incompetent staff, ineffective administration, poor living conditions, restricted visitors, and calls for the facility to be changed or shut down. Taken together, the reviews suggest a polarized set of experiences rather than a clear consensus.

    Care quality: Opinions about care quality diverge. Positive comments indicate that many staff members provide compassionate, dignified care and that residents feel respected and well looked-after. Conversely, the negative summary alleges incompetence among staff and explicitly states that residents are not treated with respect, implying inconsistent or seriously deficient care in at least one account. With such divergent reports, care quality appears uneven across experiences — some residents or families report strong, respectful caregiving while at least one reviewer experienced or observed significant lapses.

    Staff: Staff are the most frequently discussed theme and show both the facility's strengths and weaknesses. Multiple mentions praise staff as kind, caring, loving, and putting residents first. However, there are also direct accusations of staff incompetence and at least one reference to a specific staff member who is "not as good." This pattern suggests variability in staff performance and possibly uneven training, supervision, or staffing stability. The coexistence of many positive remarks about staff and a strong negative complaint implies that individual staff behavior or teams may differ substantially.

    Facilities and living conditions: The negative review specifically complains about worse living conditions, while the positive review does not mention facilities problems. Because only one summary raises facility-quality concerns, there is insufficient evidence to conclude widespread physical deficiencies, but the allegation is serious and should be treated as a significant concern warranting verification. The contrasting silence in the positive summary means facility conditions may be acceptable to some residents but problematic for others.

    Dining and activities: Neither summary mentions dining services or organized activities. The absence of comments on these topics means there is no direct evidence from these reviews to assess the quality or availability of dining, programming, or social/therapeutic activities. That omission limits conclusions about residents' daily life beyond staffing and respect issues.

    Management, accountability, and visitor policy: Management and administration are focal points of criticism in the negative review. Terms like "ineffective" and "lacks accountability" indicate perceived failures in leadership, oversight, and problem resolution. The negative reviewer also reports visitor restrictions, which may point to policy or enforcement concerns that affected family access or satisfaction. The positive review does not corroborate these management criticisms, so again there is a split in experience: at least one person encountered administrative failures severe enough to recommend closure, while others do not mention these issues.

    Notable patterns and overall interpretation: The dominant pattern is polarization — reviews portray both a clearly welcoming, resident-centered environment with many compassionate staff and, alternatively, severe deficiencies in staff competence, administrative accountability, and living conditions. Because the sample consists of two highly contrasting summaries, it suggests variability in experiences rather than uniform quality. Key takeaways are that staff behavior and management effectiveness appear to be the primary drivers of satisfaction or dissatisfaction. Serious allegations (requests to shut the facility down, claims of poor living conditions, restricted visitors) coexist with strong testimonials of kindness and dignity, indicating pockets of both high-quality care and potentially serious problems.

    Given these mixed signals, further information would be needed to form a firm judgement: more reviews to establish frequency of negative reports, direct observation or a tour, conversations with current residents and families, and verification of any formal complaints or inspection outcomes. The available summaries point to significant strengths in staff compassion for many residents but also identify critical weaknesses in management and isolated but serious negative experiences that merit attention.

    About Kilchis House

    The former Kilchis House in Tillamook, OR, is undergoing a significant transformation under the ownership of Tillamook Family Counseling Center (TFCC). The property is being repurposed to provide affordable, permanent supportive housing for individuals dealing with significant behavioral health challenges. TFCC's plan includes offering on-site mental health support services to ensure residents have access to the care they need in a stable housing environment.

    The new program at the former Kilchis House will feature up to 30 units of affordable rental housing for those with severe and persistent mental illness. This initiative is made possible through funding from the Oregon Health Authority, specifically allocated for the development of local behavioral health housing options. The collaboration between CARE and TFCC on this project reflects a commitment to creating healthier and more resilient communities in Tillamook County.

    Despite the closure of the Kilchis House earlier this year, the transition to a new use aligns closely with CARE's mission to support individuals in need of housing and support services. The sale of the property to TFCC signifies a positive step in addressing the housing challenges faced by those with behavioral health issues. The partnership between the two organizations ensures a seamless transition and a renewed focus on providing essential services to vulnerable populations in the community.

    As the former Kilchis House undergoes renovations to prepare for its new role as a supportive housing facility, the community can look forward to enhanced services and resources for individuals in need. TFCC's dedication to serving those with behavioral health challenges will contribute greatly to the well-being and stability of residents in Tillamook County. With continued collaboration and support, the former Kilchis House is poised to become a vital resource for those seeking housing and mental health assistance in the area.
