Hi! My husband and I (27F, 29M) are moving to Grants Pass area in a few weeks due to job relocation. I’ve been searching everywhere for rentals but am having a hard time finding much.

I’m wondering if any of you know of reputable landlords/open rentals/soon to be open rentals? I’ve been religiously checking Zillow/Trulia/Redfin/etc.

We are both employed (medical and sales), have a well behaved dog! Looking for a safe neighborhood (which I’ve seen is Eastern Grants Pass?) also open to Medford, Ashland, any close by safe places too.

Advice is also welcomed! Where should we look/avoid? What should we be aware of? We will eventually buy but want to rent awhile to see where we really enjoy!

Thank you in advance 😊

A little backstory:

Graduated in December, started work a month ago. Got the “perfect job” IMO. I’ve always wanted to work with older adults, loved the idea of home health (in a perfect world), and got a grad certificate to work with older adults. The job I have is at an ALF, so not SNF but a mix of SNF and HH in a sense.

Now, the productivity is slowly killing me already. 92% productivity, no matter what. Resident is sick? Welp, I’m in trouble cause of it cause I lost billing hours. Want to do a chart review? Nope, no time, and can’t work off the clock, go in blind. Among MANY other things.

Point is, I love OT. I love older adults. And I feel like I can’t make it work how I imagined. I hardly have the time to even look at goals before I go into a session, let alone PLAN a session. I feel incompetent, but I know I’m prepared… I just don’t have what I need to make it come together.

How do you all manage? What is the key? I’m not trying to change the world but wow this is crazy already… and it’s a bummer because I am in, what I imagined to be, one of the most perfect scenarios for myself.

Thank you in advance 🤍
