Testimonials

Don’t just take our word for it. See what our Members and families have to say about living at Terwilliger Plaza.

We love living at Terwilliger Plaza. The residents are friendly, smart, and engaged, and the variety of activities every day is rather unbelievable. There’s a great gym and swimming pool, but the neighborhood is also great for getting outside and walking. Most residents are in independent living, but as we age, there is plenty of help available from a really great staff. We moved in a year ago and never looked back!

We have lived at Terwilliger for nearly a year now. The experience has exceeded all expectations. There are several interest groups, book groups, a meditation group, a philosophy discussion group and more. People here come from so many backgrounds that it's easy to find new friends and new activities. We're very happy we moved in!

My partner has been in assisting living at Terwilliger Plaza for seven months, and I am delighted to share what a positive experience it has been for both of us. The facilities are immaculate, the food is of fine quality and exceptional variety, and the activities are excellent, but what puts that fifth star on this review is the fine staff. I have not met a single person there I wouldn't trust with my life.

After visiting many retirement communities from the East Coast to Mexico, we’re extremely happy we chose to become members at Terwilliger Plaza in 2020. We love connecting with so many friendly, interesting, bright and caring people here. It stimulates our elderly brains to spend time with people who have had diverse experiences and viewpoints. We greatly appreciate that our community is self-governed. Having a CEO and administration who listen, are open to feedback, connect warmly and intensionally with members is unusual and a huge plus. Staff is great and eager to help.

We love it here. We participate in and really appreciate the many organized exercise programs. We also enjoy exercise walks on our own up Terwilliger Drive, on the Duniway Park track, in the nearby Lair Hill and Corbett neighborhoods, and on the Willamette River walkways.
