I would recommend this facility to anyone looking to place a loved one. The staff and management are caring are easy to approach.

I work in home health and hospice and have worked very closely with Syringa in Twin Falls. They are open and honest, approachable with needs and communicate very well. Residents are given excellent care and attention. There is always a fun acitivity planned to keep their residents engaged and happy. Meals always smell so good and are tasty. I highly recommend them.

Review of Foothills Place

The transition from an independent to assisted living with emphasis on memory care can be difficult for a loved one and their family. So, we are appreciative to the executive administration and entire staff at Foothills Place who have made every effort to help our loved one feel comfortable, supported and engaged in surroundings and activities. Special thanks to Executive Director [name removed] who provided our family with excellent guidance and [name removed] in the business office was very responsive to the details of establishing residency along with the maintenance staff. The care providers have made every effort to implement a customized care plan with attentive activities director [name removed]. A pet friendly residence was essential as "kitty" has been a beloved family member for 15 years providing important companionship and Foothills Place has been very accommodating there also. The apartments and common areas are very clean and aesthetically pleasing. We are all resting more easily with our loved one in the care and surroundings of Foothills Place Senior Living.

Amazing Team Supports Residents!

Our family has had three members live at Meadows Place. We have been extremely pleased with the care they have received and the wonderful attitude of all the staff members. Meadows place has very caring and skilled caregiving staff. The management team are directly involved and know the facility and industry. Other staff -- including kitchen and cleaning staff--also are interested and involved with residents. They are an amazing team. All staff members work together to care for residents. They never fail to greet residents, take an actual interest in their lives, and consistently monitor residents to identify changes in their health that may need to be addressed. They make an effort to get to know family members and keep family informed as needed. The facility has a wonderful, very experienced and lively activities director as well. it is a beautiful facility, but most important is the amazing team that support the residents!

I have been dealing with Senior Livings for a quiet some time now. I can tell you with no question in mind, this is one of the best Senior Living facility in Arizona. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for an independent, senior or Memory Care facility. Staff made me happy with how they take care of residents, just like they would their own. Nothing is perfect under the sun, thank you for trying your best to exceed my expectations.
