Avista Senior Living

I would recommend Louisa Place for someone who needs someone to care for their loved one. The care was very good, although they were a little short staffed at times so my father had to wait. That was not the caregivers fault, as they did the best they could with what they had. I also know it's tough in these times, especially being a caretaker myself. My main thing was they provided a lot of good care, but I do wish they had the capacity to be a little more timely.

Our family had an in person tour and overall it is a good tour experience

Everyone who works there is very friendly and helpful. It's clean and they will provide and walk you through all the information. They made it very easy for us, the people there are number 1 and that's what made the difference. My loved one has a studio where he has a bed with room for a table, a bathroom with a walk-in shower, and a kitchenette with a microwave & fridge. Housekeeping comes in daily to empty the trash, and check in on the bathroom. They also come in on a weekly basis to clean his linens and laundry, and to deep clean the space. Communication between the community and our family is very good. If I have any questions or if something comes up, they will notify me. Some of their activities include bingo, dominoes, arts, gardening & baking classes, and card games. They have puzzle stations setup in the hallway where you can sit and partake, as well as a computer center. They have just about anything you can do. They'll take you to certain doctor appointments on certain days; but its important to note that we've never used that service, so I'm unsure what they can and can't do regarding transportation. Overall I would recommend Franklin Place to others.

I toured Harmony Hills Assisted Living Meridian. I had an overall good tour, but it all boiled down to availability. Harmony also kind of had a urine smell and I wasn't sure if that would be recurrent. That was a bit off putting.

All of the staff that we have encountered have been great, the gal that works at the front desk is nice, the nurses and house keepers are so friendly. Our loved ones do complain occasionally about the meals being to bland. We do know they have plenty of activities going on, but we do wish the staff would be encourage or invite our loved ones down more to get them out of their rooms and socialize with the others.

The facility is definitely nice, clean, bright. Its in a nice and convenient. location in a quiet area of town, yet it's still close by to restaurants ,and there's a Walmart less than a mile away. They have lots of amenities - several rooms for different activities, whether it be crafting or sewing, etc. Or there's a movie theater, and a separate library with books that the residents themselves help take care of. They have a little exercise room, and a beauty salon. There's a nice lobby area with a piano, and folks get together to sing every now and then. Outside they have a community garden area, and paved walkways to walk around the building and get some air. There's just so much to do. They have a lot of prearranged activities - planned art classes, guests that come in to provide entertainment, wheelchair repair services for free. They put out a calendar with 5-6 things per day for residents to participate in. The staff is super friendly, and they know everyone's name. One area for improvement is communication with residents and families in terms of general policies, and particularly in the time of Covid. When they were on lockdown, we didn't always know when we came there to visit. But we picked them over other places because of the feeling you get when you walk in. It's just so bright, friendly, and pleasant compared to other places.

Some positive things about Blossom Place is that it is a very clean and community. The staff have been very friendly and it is a smaller scale community so it seems more personable that it would at a much larger community.

The staff were absolutely amazing, however they did not have enough staff to give medicine out over night. My loved one ended up without medication for a long period of time due to no medication being given at night. This was not okay to me and something should have been done and more staff hired to cover this gap. My only issue was the staffing but the people there were amazing.

When my mom moved in, [name removed], the manager, came in on his day off to try and get her tv to work for her and that really impressed me. We are happy with our experience and would recommend Chateau Brickyard to others.

I really love Olympus Ranch. It has a wonderful open feel and a warm atmosphere. It feels like home and the staff treat like it is your home. The food is good (not my mom's), but there is homemade rolls and the food is made right here not frozen and warm up stuff. The staff are friendly and some are very entertaining. Never a dull moment here. The little saleslady is very knowledgeable and listens to those touring. She knows how relate to her customers. The management is very friendly and open to the residents' need. I love it here. Wish the prices weren't so much. Living on a fixes income is hard to maintain what I consider a great safe and secure place.

Despite high staff turnover the atmosphere is warm and friendly. The residents are treated caringly. There's lots of great activities and support.

I did not like this community as much, it seemed very dark and depressing to us. However the tour was great and well done.

The building was beautiful. The residents apartments are well designed and comfortable. We have a great caring staff but it seems we are always short staffed and work long hours which is frustrating for all.

There have been many issues at this facility due to constant turnover. But the ones who stay are compassionate, caring individuals, and the environment is intimate and homey. There are all kinds of activities run by a wonderful activities director who really connects with the residents. Being owned by a corporation is apparent—very high fees and an absentee landlord. They should treat their core employees well for how hard they work…they are stretched very thin from what I see.

My only negative remark is that one department is very slow to respond to a request that was much needed. This has resulted in a long delay still pending with my long-term insurance company. But my relative is very satisfied with this facility. She has made such progress in her social behavior. This facility is so much more efficient and safe than the facility I moved her from.

It is very new and very clean, which is very important to me. The facility is updated. The food could be better, but I realize it's hard for the chef to please everyone. It has three levels of care, so you don't have to move if you need assisted living or memory care down the road. I think the staff are a little difficult to communicate with and can be almost rude. And one of the major issues is they say they will do something and then don't do it. But it's still one of the best facilities in the area.

My loved one really likes it here. I like that it is a smaller community, and that there is more one0on-one care from the staff. They will text, call, or post on Facebook about the residents. Trivia, games, art, news, morning walks, and more are activities available for the residents to choose from.

This community was great it was just not the right fit for what we needed at the time for our loved one.

My sister toured and she was very impressed with The Lodge. The only reason we did not pick it was because the facility itself is huge and we thought mom may get lost.

Wonderful location. Friendly staff.
