Bonaventure Senior Living runs a group of 36 senior communities and focuses on giving older adults a caring place to live across states like Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Idaho, and Montana, with a new spot being built in Colorado Springs, and it's all managed from Salem, Oregon at their main office. Residents get to pick from several living choices, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing homes, home care, long-term care, rehabilitation care, and respite care, so people with different needs can find the right support, and most places have services like meal preparation by an executive chef, apartments with appliances for those who want to cook, and activities lined up on a monthly Resident Activities Program calendar with things like dances, piano recitals, arts and crafts, card games, birthday parties, and cooking classes which really helps people stay busy, meet friends, and try new things. Bonaventure promotes a family-like feeling in its buildings, where staff and residents get to know each other and the staff calls their caregiving compassionate, trying as much as possible to treat everyone with kindness and respect since they want folks to feel at home, and Pam Gray, who's worked over 20 years in the field, handles day-to-day operations as Chief Operating Officer and Kelley D. Hamilton is the CEO.
Communities usually have roomy dining rooms where residents might gather for meals, drinks, appetizers, and sometimes music, and when someone wants to eat privately, there are kitchens in the apartments too, plus if a person wants company they can join in on many social gatherings like potlucks or organized entertainment. Bonaventure also has awards for their buildings and teams, like for activities that keep bodies and minds moving, and they celebrate staff who show a friendly and kind spirit toward the residents, and people have given a high satisfaction rating of 96 percent. Services like medication help, laundry, housekeeping, maintenance, parking, transportation, internet access, and guest lodging make daily life smoother, while skilled nursing teams are also there to care for people living with memory problems or more advanced health needs, with programs meant to keep residents safe and comforted.
Bonaventure's approach includes working closely with local charities and causes, so residents and staff can pick charities to support or refer new people for charitable rewards, and the company holds community awards and public events to thank volunteers and organizations that help out, so everyone feels part of something bigger, and projects like "Bonaventure and You" show their concern for the towns they're in. Meal services focus on healthy, balanced diets using fresh ingredients, with menu planning focused on providing key vitamins and minerals, and those who need help with meals can get it while others stay independent in their routines. They're focused on making sure all parts of care matter, with core values that say every team member and resident deserves respect, and they team up with groups like the Alzheimer's Foundation of America, American Cancer Society, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, and the Oregon Food Bank.
Bonaventure's known by different community names such as Columbia Heights by Bonaventure, Park Vista by Bonaventure, Beaverton Hills by Bonaventure, Bonaventure of Salem, Oswego Place by Bonaventure, and several others, offering different levels of care at each location, including some focused on assisted living or memory care especially for Alzheimer's and dementia. They use a "Life on Your Terms" message in their mission because they want to help seniors keep their independence as long as they can, and they've built these communities to welcome new friendships, offer expert advice with brochures and advisors, and create a joyful place to age. Each place offers parking, scheduled rides to stores and appointments, plus weekly or daily housekeeping, and staff try to help with shorter or long-term health needs, which is helpful for seniors wanting a mix of care options in one place.
So, with more than 1,100 employees working in the different communities, Bonaventure keeps things running across the Northwest and beyond, taking care to provide a dependable, comfortable, and safe spot for seniors with a good mix of amenities, team support, and activities designed to keep everyone as engaged and well as possible.
