Avista Senior Living

My parents definitely made the right move to Heron Place. The staff are nice, pleasant and attentive to the residents. The food is good and there is quit a variety. They offer a wide variety of activities and live entertainment. A relative that performs professionally came to visit and the staff were very accommodating, they allowed him to perform for the residents.

My aunt is doing well at this community, she likes it very much. The community is very clean and nice and neat. The staff is wonderful, she really enjoys the staff. She is trying many activities. The food is okay, it is a well balanced meals for a senior. She has even made some new friends. It has been a pleasant experience and I would recommend it.

My mother is doing well at this community and I am pleased. They are caring for her very well. I do not live in the same state, they have really given me a peace of mind knowing she is safe. The community looks great, they keep everything very clean. The staff has been good, the commutation could be a little better. She is trying some new activities. The food is fine, its not 5 stars restaurant, but it is nice. Out of all the places I looked at, this was one of the best.

My Grandmother was living alone at home, and it seemed every time I visited she was more and more depressed and doing less of her daily routine. She started living out of her recliner. TV and her microwave were her best friend. She recently moved in to Franklin Place and the change is night and day. She is social and loves going to all the activities, loves the food, and has made new friends who help her stay active. The staff has been so helpful in making sure there was no awkwardness for my Grandmother. They really took the time to work with her to make her feel special, and helped her reclaim the outgoing attitude she had. I'm truly grateful for everything they do!

My mother has lived at Avista for 2 1/2 years and we've had nothing but positive experiences with the staff. Because I work down the street, I stop in one to two times a day. Everyone I've met who works there has a smile and takes the time for the residents. Obviously, it's an older facility, but they regularly are improving the property. Anytime there has been a problem with my mom's unit, if it's not repaired the same day, it's always within a reasonable amount of time. I feel like this was a wonderful fit for my mom. The staff makes the facility a pleasurable place to live.

The staff at this community has been very accommodating to my mother and our family. This is a really nice community and everything is working out well. She is still adjusting to the community and the staff has been trying to help her with that. There is many activities through out the week for the residents. I tired the food on tour and the meals are great. I would recommend this community. I would just say to be prepared for the process.

We had a great visit to Olympus Ranch, I thought it was a wonderful place, good food, friendly staff, clean & bright. Unfortunately it didn't work out for the person we were hoping might be able to live there.

This facility is fantastic. The staff is very attentive, kind and caring. Jessica [removed] when way above and beyond to help a friend, who is living there, get a VA benefit. If it hadn't been for her, this would never have happened. She has been a godsend. My friend loves living there and is continually raving about the staff. Thank you Powell Place for taking such good care of my friend and giving me peace of mind.

My Goodness! What negative comments. My parents lived at Avista for 2 years. I have had the privilege of meeting the entire staff and most of the residents. The residents are happy, the care is very good. The management team is mindful of the residents' needs, and I found them to be most helpful when my parents were in the hospital. The executive director and a number of the staff members went to the hospital to visit them. I'd like to say: "So, stop your grumbling." Isn't it a shame that so many people have such negative things to say but the ones who are pleased with what they receive are so very quiet!

I loved walking into Chateau because it was very welcoming and warm. All of the staff was extremely friendly and helpful and they all went out of their way to make sure I felt at home. It is a very clean and organized community and I had a very positive experience.

Things are going well here. He really seems to like it. The staff is nice and friendly. The facility itself is clean and well maintained and the other residents are nice. Overall, I think things are going very well so far.

So far, things are going well at Heron Place. The staff is courteous and compassionate and the facility is always clean and seems well managed. The residents here seem happy and well taken care of.

Nice smaller facility which allows for staff to know your loved one and personalize care to address their needs. Very friendly and caring staff as evidenced by their interactions with residents....even when they don't know someone is watching or listening.

It works for my mom who suffers from dementia. She struggles to remember daily things and can get quite angry and agitated but they do a good job of managing her.

My father recently passed away after living at Syringa Place for a year or so. I am an LPN in an assisted living facility in Seattle where I have worked for 10 years. I can say that my father received really good care and they staff went out of their way to make him happy. He was fiercely independent and was treated with the respect and dignity he deserved. I would visit and stay in the same room with my dad for days at a time and we were both taken care of well. When my father passed away, everyone from the administrator, the maintenance person, nursing staff and dietary department went above and beyond to accommodate my family. Some of the highlights that made my dad's life special by the staff was a great birthday bash for him that many of my family attended and enjoyed. When my dad noticed his hair was falling out, even the beautician got involved by giving dad special treatments for his hair. A western day was held and my dad's special saddle was displayed and he felt so honored. My family was grateful for all of the good care my father received at Syringa Place. Thank you all so much!!!!!

Windriver Place really is in a nice neighborhood of houses. Near a main street so easy to get to even in bad weather. The facility access is great for wheeled devices like walkers. The staff are heroic in the care they give. Everyone there has been kind, helpful and tolerant of my mother's dementia-based antics. There is a lovely covered and open patio in the interior and plenty of outdoor seating. They strongly encourage family visits by hosting everybody for events like Grandparent's Day. Each room has big windows to let in the sunshine. Staff including administrators are helpful and they work hard to keep everybody comfortable and happy. There's a cozy fireplace in the living room area, a busy craft room, and a TV room, too.

I have lived here for a little over one year and have never been so happy. I have a darling one bedroom apartment with a patio that goes out to a pretty court yard! I love the activities and the staff are all so nice to me and my friends

The care my mother receives has been wonderful. She is well cared for by a loving staff. She has had some health issues and the care givers have always contacted her doctor and her family when they arise. They were short staffed for a short time, but the care was still there. My Mom is happy and she considers this her home. We wouldn't even consider moving her elsewhere.

My mother is very happy with Syringa Place. She is pleased with the care she receives, likes the food and enjoys all the activities offered. Once a month is a themed family night and we enjoy this very much. There is a full service beauty shop on site and my mother takes full advantage of it on a weekly basis. She said it makes her feel good. The caregivers are friendly and the administration staff has been a true blessing. They have gone above and beyond to see that my mother's move to Syringa Place was pleasant and positive. To sum this up, moving my mother to Syringa Place has been one of the best decisions I have made for her.

The most important part of where we live is the people that are involved. My experience with Windriver Place has been genuinely positive and professional, caring and personal. My dad was not at all happy with the idea of moving into an assisted living facility and made no effort to hide his thoughts or feelings. The transition was difficult for him and I, especially the first couple of weeks, but everyone involved with him at Windriver is so encouraging and willing to help in any way they can. We're about six weeks in now and Dad's attitude has mellowed some as he has adjusted to his new surroundings and the other folks that are a part of his new world. I'm very grateful to the staff for their patience, encouragement and willing attitudes for helping us navigate these times.
