Avista Senior Living

My father-in-law was here till he passed and it was nice. They took good care of him, he couldn't walk so his needs were high. They would make sure he was clean and up out of his bed. They would take him outside. Took him to the dining room to feed him. They washed his clothes and just treated him like a real person. It is very homey here and the administration ladies were amazing. I would recommend them to other families.

When you walk in this community it has a beautiful atmosphere. They are courteous, professional and seemed happy to be at work. They know all the resident's first names. Housekeeping does a good job of keeping things clean. Also the staff is patient and great about giving him directions before doing anything. They also try to engage him to join the daily activities. They provide 3 good meals a day and I would recommend this community to other families.

I toured this facility while looking for a place for my Mother. This is a one story facility but it is a little older. It’s a really nice place and the owner, [Removed], was just amazing. It’s a well-maintained property and the people are nice here. We even got to sit down and eat dinner with the other residents. However, we decided against bringing my mom here because it wasn’t what she needed. I would recommend this facility to other families.

Just from taking a tour here, they seem to be exceptional. They would’ve been my top choice for my Mom, however they don’t offer a provision to help with payment if she were to run out of money and it’s strictly assisted living so continuum of care is not available. The floor plan layout was very open with large, central living areas. The general atmosphere was positive and exceptional. The staff was very friendly and open and they were all interacting with the residents from what I could see. It was nice, just didn’t fit our specific needs.

Best facility in the Treasure Valley.

We recently moved our mother in and we could not be more pleased with her new home. It's such a warm inviting environment. Everyone from the staff to the residents are so pleasant. My moms studio apartment is perfect in size for her, not to large and not small it's not just an open space but a comfortable area with its own private bathroom, kitchenette, and even a small area for a bistro table. I am truly grateful that we found this place. My mom is happy and so are we. Thank you Aurora Place.

Great Choice and GREAT place for Mom!

The care staff here is very kind and Mom seems happy, content, and taken care of. So, all around, I’d say it’s going well. The food is good and there are tons of options to choose from. My Mom raves about it all the time, she really likes it. Everything I’ve seen is kept pretty clean and housekeeping comes by once or twice a week to clean the room. There’s a huge calendar filled with activities like scenic drives, exercise classes, family nights, bingo, and movie nights. There’s really a big variety for everyone to participate in. I would recommend them.

[Removed] was a dynamic, caring leader of this facility. The location and atmosphere was so appealing my sister stated she would like living there. All the people living there were happy and content and proud of their personalized space. We hope to make a decision for my mom soon and hopefully have my mom in this location by the first to middle part of 2018.

The level of care offered here and the amount of people involved is exceptional. The staff team is very nice, really knowledgeable, and they take the time to answer all of our questions. They do a great job in keeping the facility neat and organized. There right on top with assisting with laundry when needed which has been really nice for us. With another location they weren’t as prompt with that kind of service. They also have all kinds of activities throughout the day. There about two to three things happening every day. It tailored for elderly people; they have this group called “Our Band” which includes local people who are elderly playing in a band. They also have things like games and movies. This morning they were paying bingo at 10:00am. They have things like ice cream socials so it’s a great for the residents to get them out and about from their rooms and socialize. The residents there are so welcoming and friendly surprisingly. I remember on the first day walking in we noticed a lady in her little wheelchair and she asked us “You have someone moving in?”. When we said yes she continued to tell how much of a beautiful place this is and how wonderful the people are. We come to find that many of the residents are like that. I recommend this community to other families.

On this tour the staff was friendly and helpful. They answered all of my questions. It was nice and clean in there. But there was a certain budget we were working with and it was way over that so we had to chose elsewhere.

I chose this facility because when my mom first walked in she said, “I can’t believe you love me enough to let me live here.” She has also told me that she never wants to move back home. The facility offers all of the services that my Mother needs and we don’t pay for things that she doesn’t. It’s more like a menu of services and you pick what you need. The apartment is super nice and it is a brand new facility. I really like that they had immediate openings and they still have rooms available. When we first started the process of moving her in, the facility has been so helpful with accommodating her and moving her in. My mom really loves the café and the food is great. I would absolutely recommend this community.

My mother lives in Windriver Place, and it is just the perfect place for her. I love the atmosphere of the community, and despite the large turnover rate in the staff, they have always been great to us; very understanding, caring, and accommodating. It’s a very home-like, comfortable community. The food is always good here as well. The chef is always on target with taste and portion sizes. They also have a lot of activities for the residents such as art projects, outings, and family events. Overall, Windriver has been perfect, and I would recommend the community to others.

This community is like a family here. The caregivers are attentive to my dad and are very friendly. They keep him clean and room smelling nice. The food is cooked buy a really good chef and is tasty. The courtyard are is so beautiful and well kept up. I have recommended this to friends and family.

I went to several communities before walking into Heron Place and knew that this was the one. The staff is very responsive and helpful.It stays clean and smelling good. The food is OK wasn't great but not bad. When it is warm enough we go out to the well maintained courtyard to sit. They have some great activities like bingo, music shows they even had a benefit Rock-A-Thon for Waykin Veterans and everyone had a blast. Mom is doing better than she has in a while thanks to them. I will refer this community for anyone looking.

This place offers nice big private rooms. The food is great and the staff are kind.

We are very happy with the care of this community. the staff are caring. We like the staff caring and friendly. We like she has a good variety of healthy meals that are offered. They offer many activities for the residents that are able to participate. We recommend this community for the good care that is given for a good value for others

Caliche Senior Living was a great place for our loved one's respite stay. The front desk staff is super helpful and friendly. It is a very nice and new place that opened in February. The food is like home cooking. They serve the chef's special and if you want something other than what the chef has prepared you can choose from the menu. They offer breakfast as a choice for all three meals. The residents can get drinks and snacks anytime they want. There is a movie theatre and they have a movie night with fresh popcorn. They have a beauty/barber shop, and a library. They also have 3 floors of different game rooms for poker, a pool table, puzzle room, etc. They have a regular group of residents who like to walk the halls if it's too hot outside. They allow small pets. They provided transportation to a nearby cowboy church that my parents attended and enjoyed the service. They offer options in dispensing medication depending on their needs. They have a nurse on site, a doctor on call, and the hospital is nearby. I picked it because it's new and it didn't smell, it is very clean. They have laundry rooms on each floor. The doors are locked at a certain time but the family can get in with codes. We will use them again when we go on vacation, they did a great job of taking care of our loved ones. I would definitely recommend this community to others.

My mother is enjoying her time here in this community. It is working out well, and we pleased. I do feel she is safe, and in good hands. The staff is good, and they are taking good care of her, and her needs. This is a community I would recommend to my family, and friends. It is working out well for us.

Living in another state made it a little challenging trying to find a good fit for my parents. But with the support of friends and me doing phone interviews and research online we all determined this community was going to be the best fit and we were right. From everything I hear from my mom, they both love the community. They are keeping busy with activities and they are both enjoying the food. I couldn't be more pleased with the care they are receiving.
