Testimonials

"We want to express our gratitude to Mary Alva and her staff, Coleen, Nicole, and Kathy to name a few, for their exemplary care of our mother, Edna Mengis, for the past five years. They have a gift, and we were lucky to find them during our time of turmoil, when Mom had to transition from living alone.

We looked at all kinds of care facilities and decided to put our trust in Mary Alva. She and her staff are everything they said they were, and so much more. Senior Class promotes family atmosphere and we all became members of that family. Whatever Mother’s needs were to keep her happy and healthy were provided. Sometimes that was a very tall order, and it was Mary and her staff who always went the extra mile, from beginning to end.

So, if you are reading this and your family member has had the “event” that is forcing change, please remember our five years of experience. Mary Alva’s Senior Class will give you peace of mind that your family member is in the best place you could ever hope to find. Mary Alva’s Senior Class is the real deal."

Sincerely,
The Mengis Family

"We just recently lost our dear Mother, Marguerite Pfaff. She was a resident of Mary Alva's Senior Class Adult Foster Home for the past 3 1/2 years. This short testimonial can't begin to give this wonderful home the justice that it is due. It is a beautiful home, the food is delicious and the loving care the residents receive is wonderful. Our son is a Minister and our daughter in law is a Physician Assistant. They are both around care facilities and the elderly a lot and both have said that they have never seen a home as nice as this one. They have visited their Grandma Pfaff there several times and each time are amazed at the quality of care given to the residents."

"We feel that we have been truly blessed to have found a home such as this for Mom to live out her last years. She was 97 and a remarkable lady and we know she was truly loved by Mary and her staff. We thank God for Mary, Coleen, Nicole, Susan and Dee for such wonderful care. God bless you as you continue to care for others. We consider you all a part of our family and will continue to drop by and visit you and the residents."

"We, the Carl Mays family, would like to express our deepest appreciation to Mary Alva and her wonderful staff at the Senior Class Foster Care Center in The Dalles. What could have been a terribly difficult time the last two months became an experience of love and acceptance. Our mother recently passed away after lingering from heart failure. Mary and her staff treated our mother Velma, with loving compassion and dignity. As a family, we too were given tender care and consideration, as were friends who visited."

"Thank you Mary Alva for your kindnesses, your vision and your tremendous ability to create a gracious home for your Senior Class."

Regards,
Carolyn Mays Chase
Daughter of Carl and Velma Mays


"Moving my mom from Massachusetts to Oregon last year was a very difficult time at best, but the attention given to her by the caregivers at Senior Class made the transition better than I could have hoped. I continue to be pleased with the fine care she receives under Mary Alva's caring attention."

"Mary Alva’s adult foster care provides gracious living. Each resident’s needs are continually assessed and addressed. Each caregiver is compassionate while providing loving assistance. Wonderful meals offer great variety and are prepared with the best and freshest products available. The meals endeavor to meet specific nutritional requirements of each person. We especially appreciate the sensitive attitude of every staff member toward each resident and the homelike, family atmosphere. We never announce our visits in advance and have always found the home and yard to be in pristine condition. The residents are comfortable and relaxed whenever we arrive. Mary and her staff continually work with mom’s problems until a solution is reached, allowing her to remain in this gracious environment instead of having to be moved into a nursing home."

"No one wants to leave their home, but we found the ideal "new home" at Mary Alva's Senior Class. Mary and her staff take care of even the smallest details with compassion and care in a clean, safe, and nurturing environment. We consider Mary and her staff part of our extended family."

The Schmidt Family


"Mary Alva's Senior Class is a blessing in our lives. Our mother, Roberta Greiner, receives superb care, attention, and companionship in the warm, homeline atmosphere. Coleen, Dee, Nicole, Suzan, and Mary extend loving care and respect to the residents and a warm welcome to their families. Mary Alva's Senior Class is truly a home filled with joy and love."
