Avista Senior Living

My father-in-law and I toured here when we were trying to find the right place for him to move in. The facility was very nice. The only issue we had was with the woman that gave us a tour. She seemed like she wasn't very informed on what they offered there for their residents. My father-in-law felt like she didn't know what was going on. It's probably one of the nicer facilities around here but he was disenchanted with her lack of knowledge and the experience.

When I toured, it was a really nice community and our tour guide was terrific. The rooms are clean and looks like a nice facility to stay in. If my Mother was more independent it would have been great for her. They just didn’t seem to have the facilities or ability to take care of a person in a wheelchair. If you’re using a walker, it would not be a big deal.

I toured the Windriver Place community. It was a nice and clean community. The staff was friendly. I that it was too small of a community for my parents. I thought it was also overly expensive.

We toured Syringa Place. The staff was friendly and they gave a nice presentation of their community. It was a clean and well-kept community. We chose another community that was more in-line with our budget.

My grandparents had recently made the move into this community and so far things seem to be going okay for them. They have overall made a smooth transition and have been doing the best they can with there situation. The only complaint my grandmother has had is that she feels like she is in more of a memory care facility then an assisted living. She said it is often like a ghost town and not many people are active.

This community was very lovely it has a nice view of the mountains. The landscaping is lovely nice areas to walk and sitting areas that you can enjoy the fresh air. The staff is very nice appears very professional. It didn't appear they offered a lot of activities to keep the residents busy. Inside the community appeared to be clean and well maintained.

This community was very nice to tour. The size of the rooms that we saw seemed to be about the size of rooms in other communities. The staff was very friendly along with residents that we met. However, the pricing for this community was more on the expensive side than others we had looked at.

My mom and her cat has been adjusting well. I am pleased with the staff so far. Her room is fantastic, it has a great view of the mountains. The transition has been very good. There were 2 things important when picking a community. 1) I needed to be in close proximity to where she is 2) Finding a safe and good environment. The financial aspect is good, we locked the rates for her room and board. If her dementia progress, they have a memory unit which means we would not have to move her again in the future. So far it has been a good fit.

Mom was only here for a 2-week stay but from what I understand it went well. Mom did some of the activities there and enjoyed the staff and the other residents. She liked the food no complaints. I would recommend the community.

We toured the Pioneer Valley Lodge and it is a nice community. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. It was a clean and well-kept community. We chose another community that had provided a special care unit.

We had visited quite a few communities and they each had their own unique qualities but what was going to cinch the deal was where they were located. This community had the perfect location. Mom is doing ok here it has taken time for her to adjust and feel like she has settled in. But the staff has been very accommodating and kind very helpful when in need of anything. She has started making friends slowly and started doing some things. She hasn't complained about the food so I am guessing she is liking it. The community is always clean and well maintained the temperature is always comfortable.

My mother in law was doing very well here before getting ill but she is starting to recover slowly. Prior to her being sick, she was doing the activities and social events and she likes being around the other residents.The community is on a smaller size scale which is a better fit for her not as many people so it is not as loud as some others. The caregivers are super nice and sweet. The food is good.

My loved one had a short respite stay at this community. The staff did everything they could to make him feel comfortable. The community was clean. This community is more for independent living and our loved one needed a little more care than they were able to offer.

I thought they were a nice and clean community. I did not see any problems and the person who gave me the tour was on time and professional. I was just looking for a place that was convenient for me to travel around.

My sister has only been in the Stratford 3 weeks but so far I am very satisfied.

This community was my first choice however since it wasn't for me I left the decision up to my loved one. It was on the smaller side nice facility very homey. It was clean smelled good the staff and the residents seemed friendly and happy. There were lots of activities residents could do.

This is a very nice place. There is a very nice common area where residents and visitors can sit around the fireplace. The dining area is very spacious lots of windows for natural light to come in. The food is good but there could be more of a selection. The staff is always friendly and helpful. There is very good communication with the staff and family they are good about getting back to you. I would recommend this location to people.

This is a very nice community. The people I met were nice and knowledgable. They allow pets and seem to offer a lot of daily activities. This community did not seem to offer the staffing level for the amount of care my loved one needed. This community would be good for a more independent resident.

Overall I love the community, caregivers, and the staffing here but we are in the middle of some challenges as far as my husbands care plan goes. I am finding it very difficult for the facility to sign off in regards to my husband not wanting to take the 7 blood pressure medicines and just to take the alternative medicine that he prefers. I have asked if there is some sort of assumed risk form or waiver to us to sign but they don't seem to be able to provide one. In regards to housekeeping they need to pay more attention in the 4 weeks that my husband has been there I have had to remind them 3 out of 4 weeks to come and clean his room and when asked they simply say they forgot. The facility does have limited activities and they do have a program for the staff to actually go and get the resident to get them engaged which by the way I pay extra for which I don't mind. The staff does go and get him but they don't attempt all the time to get him engaged in the activities. The reason why I chose the community is having a patio was wonderful I love the caregivers and the food is wonderful and all those things I thought would be very important to my husband

The staff at this property where very professional during our tour and made sure to answer questions we had for them in detail. I like that I did not feel pressured or pushed into a deal. The property was well maintained and they had an open floor plan that was easy to navigate through for all of the residents. It was just not the right location in the end decision for my loved one.
