Avista Senior Living

my very sweet daddy ended up with Covid and was not able to live on his own anymore. I desperately looked for places and there was absolutely nothing out there that seem to fit, or that I was comfortable leaving him with. I reached out to The Lodge and met up with the Director here. He was so kind and so sweet and truly only wanted what was best for my dad. I knew the instant that I met [name removed]that this was the place for my dad. Once my dad met the staff absolutely every single staff member was incredible, kind, and respectful. from the day my dad moved in, everybody knew his name, what type of foods he liked, and his interests. in all the time we’ve been here I’ve never seen a staff member, flustered or in a rush with the amazing people who live here. Everybody here is friendly and outgoing, and treats everybody here like family. You can tell that the people who live here are very happy and are all treated outstanding! I wholeheartedly recommend The Lodge to everyone!

We did multiple visits to other facilities; when we first walked in it was just the atmosphere, the layout, their friendliness and how they treat their people is just awesome. They're just really good with her. It's a great place and the location was perfect for us as well.

We chose Heron Place because they came recommended to us. We went to check them out and found it to be exactly what we were looking for. We really love it here, it is a great fit for my mom. They have a lot of great activities provided. The staff go above and beyond , they are doing an amazing job. They actually introduced us to hospice for her and so she is getting an extra level of care that we did not know about. I would definitely recommend them to others looking.

The caregivers have made all efforts to make sure my father is taken care of. They genuinely care! I love the smaller atmosphere, it feels very homey. The facility is clean, and I appreciate everything is all on one level. The garden area is beautiful, and my father loves hearing and seeing all of the birds. There are always activities going on, and residents seem happy. I would highly recommend!

I love Aurora Place. While the cost is difficult for me, it is worth the cost. The management is fabulous. The staff are generally happy, and that is a direct result of good management. I toured several places in the same price range, and this place is a clear winner. It has a wonderful courtyard in the center where it is safe for people with memory issues to go outside. It's a quiet location, with no loud traffic. And management is just extra caring and involved.

They've been very accommodating and have helped us in any way we've needed. They answer questions promptly. Everyone is so nice. I have nothing bad to say about them. They're just fantastic! My family member loves the food. She says the chef is really good, and they have a good variety for an assisted living facility. Also, she is gluten intolerant, and they are very accommodating with that. She's still getting used to going to the activities, but they have at least five activities a day, which is incredible. Another great thing about them is they allow small pets.

I think it is a really good mid-sized facility. It is not too big and it is not too small. They have lots of activities going on every afternoon. Mom says they keep them super busy and she is tired by the end of the day. They have a set menu each week and there are a couple of options, if you do not like the options then they have soups salads and sandwiches available. The variety looks to be really good. I would definitely recommend Foothills Place to others looking.

We are very happy with Jasmine Place. The staff are very kind and attentive to my mom. I would recommend the facility to others.

the facility is very "home like"/ with a loving family feel. I feel like the staff are very compassionate and caring, it seems like a place that you'd want to live. they do offer transportation for doctor appointments once a week. the grocery store transportation may be delayed right now because of Covid. I've never personally attended any activities, but I did hear the residents having a lot of fun when I came to visit. I do believe that they are adequately staffed for the amount of residents they have there. they communicate via phone call on an "as needed basis". overall, I would recommend Franklin Place to others.

This was a nice community and I felt good about this community when I left. The only thing is that there was another community that was able to care for my loved one better in her condition and we had to go with the other community.

We like this community a lot better and it has been a much better experience. The memory care is set up well and it is a lot better than the previous community that my loved one was at.

The staff that I have met are very happy, friendly, and professional. This has been a good community for my friend. There are lots of activities for the residents to choose from. I would recommend Foothills Place to others, and already have to friends. Some of the activities available include movie night, games, cards, exercise classes, and more for the residents to engage with.

We have some lack of communication issues. They have had plenty of turnover and seem understaffed. My loved ones were quarantined with covid and we had to initiate communication with staff for updates on there well being during that time. The staff has been very nice and helpful regarding communicating messages to our loved ones to have them call us. This place is very community eccentric. This place is easy for our loved one to get around. It fits well for them.

The experience seems to be pretty good for older people. My loved one has already made new friends. It's a clean facility, and more updated than others we looked at. The staff I've met have ben really nice. And the cost seems reasonable. I would recommend them to other people.

I loved Aurora Place, I told my husband we should even look into it. They had so many things offered amenities wise for the residents. My favorite that I saw was the happy hour that they have. We were thoroughly impressed by the tour.

Copper Place is a very clean community and the staff members are fantastic. With the covid restrictions we are still not able to really see the meals, dining service and activities but we do know our loved ones activity board is always completely full with things to do.

I never have to worry about his safety, they are very on top of things. He loves the food that is served, the kitchen staff prepares everything on site. We went for Christmas lunch and it was very good. They do have transportation available but they have not been able to find a driver so we have had to take him to his appointments. His room is on the smaller side. It is a very casual, home like atmosphere because it is a smaller facility. We like that because he is not overwhelmed and it is all on one floor. I would recommend to others looking.

This place is amazing! My mother has been there since Jan 2021 and what a great place to live the grounds are immaculate, the staff is kind, caring, attentive and professional. They are a fabulous team and the true leadership shows. I know my mother is loved and cared for at all times. Best place in the valley.

We like the place a lot. We like the size, and the people that we've worked with have all been very helpful. They're having to bring in a lot of people from outside agencies, but I have no complaints with the overall staff. I think the food is nutritious, and they have a lot of activities.

It's a very small retirement center. They've taken very good care of my loved one. She has actually quite blossomed since she moved there. She's going to be 94 in January, and she feels comfortable that there's somebody there in case something happens. She's made friends, and she's not isolated like she was in her apartment. She really likes the small environment. She says the food is good overall. They've just had a little bit of trouble keeping a relief cook, so sometimes they bring in pizza or things. And they have a lot of really good activities if you choose to participate.
