Avista Senior Living

My 93 year old mother in-law is enjoying her new home. It has been the best thing we could have ever done for her. The staff is amazing and caring and respond quickly to any concerns or needs my mother in-law is in need of. Big shout out to Carla [removed] and Jenny RN for all they have done to make this very big adjustment as easy as it has turned out to be for someone who has been on her own for the last 10 years. We are blessed.

What I really like about the facility is the friendliness of everyone there and how the residents appear to be happy. Although this may be indicative of the industry in general, there have been so many new caregivers coming on board in the short time my mom has been there, and they do not seem well trained, initially. However, my mom loves several of the caregivers who have been there a while, and appreciates when they are her regulars.

The place is just beautiful, the views are beautiful. It was definitely the best value out there that I could find. They seem to be a little understaffed though. Overall, my loved ones seem to be happy there.

Everyone is very friendly. She is settling in nicely.

The lady I spoke to initially, was so nice and already went above and beyond, I am not kidding! She was so good, that I was anxious to meet her. When I got there, the nurse was so nice and knowledgeable and seemed very well-rounded. The activities director met me and even the janitor stopped to talk to me. We were so impressed. It's a really nice place.

The people that work are so kind, try to take care of the needs here. The food is good and tasty! Really clean, and smells fresh. I enjoy coming in!

We considered this before we made our final choice. We liked this it was nice. The rooms were a little smaller than another place we were considering, and because it was assisted living rather than independent, it was also more expensive. We didn't need the assisted living, even though we liked the location.

Very friendly, happy atmosphere! My husband is well cared for. He seems very contented here. Clean atmosphere the food could be better. Jim could eat alot more than he's given. More deserts and snacks mid-afternoon. Activities are good. Request for Jim to participate more.

One year contributed to better health, more energy, and a sense of safety. My preferences were respected by leadership and staff. Management staff ensured that my needs were met or considered. The recent past was not as pleasant as could have been, due to my sense of employee grief and discouragement.

I have lived in this facility since June 2015. Wile I know it's hard to cook for such a large number of different people with different appetites, I think we might have meals that are not such a repeat of others and could have some veggies while they are in season.

This is a pretty decent place, the staff does their best and it is a good value for the money compared to other facilities.

They seem to really care about their residents. They always want to know if there is any problems with the food. My mother is happy there. She likes it. My main complaint would be the food. I think my mom would be happier with another cook. The staff seems real caring and friendly. They are always available to discuss things with you. Everything has been going well at the Garnet Place. It has been positive.

They have done fantastic. It's very clean and it doesn't smell. The staff is very friendly. Very nice it's small. I think they have done a good job. The food isn't the greatest, but they have a good menu, and they have plenty of food. Overall I have been very pleased.

The facility at Copper Place is very clean, and the staff there is very friendly. The issues are that the caregivers need more training as too different levels of care for residents, seems they are not equipped with knowledge or resources for more advanced care.

They have done very well in getting him in there maintenance guy as well as staff very helpful. They have have made every effort to get him out and about and control the urine smell from his incontinence. The food is very good. There has been some communication regarding insulin pen felt it wasn't something they needed to help with until I talked to them. Resident was still asleep when sister came to pick up for doc appointment that I had told them about earlier.

Things have gone well so far for my loved one at Garnet Place! We haven't had any problems with the staff for the services that they provide, and my loved one seems to like it here.

We met with Brian Thursday 1/15. Rooms were nice. A one level facility is a plus. Many of the residents were out and about.

The staff at Copper Place has been very friendly and real helpful. Mom was allowed to bring her dogs there, which was a real bonus. They have really tried to get her involved and knowing and interacting with the other residents, which I very much appreciate.

My father, who has Alzheimer's, has resided at The Summit at Sunland Springs since the end of May, 2014. We could not be happier with this accommodation. The building is new and built to resemble more of a hotel than a typical nursing home: it is clean and calming, the halls are wide, the furniture and art upscale and in great shape. There are plenty of lounging areas, and a large patio. Everyone has a private room and bath. The staff are as friendly and helpful--and as amazingly patient and compassionate--as they could possibly be, helping us get the services my dad needs and personalizing their care for him. The folks conducting the various recreational activities are enthusiastic, creative and flexible. Families are welcomed and invited to be involved. Patient safety is a top priority. The dining room food is very good, with a talented chef providing nutritious meals, and family members may eat as well. I can think of nothing to complain about, and highly recommend The Summit to others seeking dementia patient care.

Very nice facility, cost of move in was higher than most, but I would recommend.
