What this means for your family

While University Place offers a convenient continuum of care and a pleasant environment, recent reports indicate a decline in service quality. Families should specifically inquire about current staffing ratios in the assisted living and nursing wings and ask for a sample menu to assess if the food service quality meets your loved one's standards.

Key Review Excerpts

They will never have enough staff to adequately handle the needs of the residents. The place is extremely expensive as well. It looks great from the outside, but the minute you leave your loved one there who knows how often they will have an aid come in to check on them.

Assisted living/nursing home family member · 2025☆☆☆☆

Many residents in this facility are very upset with the basic quality of food and the unskilled serving staff.

Long-term resident's family · 2024☆☆☆☆

It is a continuing-care facility with independent living, assisted living, memory support, and health care services all under one roof-- a convenient arrangement to provide for changing needs as one ages.
