Avista Senior Living

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.

We chose this facility becuase they offer respite care. Label everything you bring. If things gets miss placed good luck trying to locate it. Overall they did a great job!

Spring Gardens is a beautiful place with a good staff and compassionate people. For the very short time my father was there, we were very happy, although memory care is never a place you want your family to need. [name removed] was great to work with and so was [name removed]. The memory care team that watched over my father was thoughtful, kind and respectful. Four days are not enough to form a complete and full evaluation; however, I believe that the care and respect we saw in the short term would have continued into long-term.

The facility is small and does not have enough staff to handle all the residents needs. It is fine if you are fairly independent but not if you need extra help with daily care needs.

Mark your loved ones items because the residents keep moving things around. Also the staff are super nice and you can come visit pretty much any time at all. It would be nice if the food was more fresh and had more flavor!

They are very clean and seem to be on top of things. They know all of there patience by name and where they like to spend their days. The CNA's are always on top of their medications and know which ones they are taking. My dad seems to enjoy living there

I would recommend it based on the time i was there . It changed ownership after I was there for a time and everything improved. If the new owners still manage the facility its probably still good. Its close to where I live.

Walking into Avista Nampa, the feeling that is felt is warm, kind and friendly. There is a light business about the building, but not too overwhelming. The staff make you feel like each person is a friend, and so their interaction is genuine, and kind. There is creativity and thoughtfulness throughout the community.

Have really good staff.

Very comfortable.

Nice place to live and cared for. Some of it is a little costly.

Love it.

The facility is always clean but there is frequently a sewage smell in the parking lot and inside in the afternoons. I think from bad plumbing which has been a constant issue. The staff has been wonderful attentive and responsive. Administrative staff 4 for lack of communication at times (shutting off water without notice, quarantine without explanation). But [name removed] gets a 10 - she is fantastic The food is horrible. We are trying to find a solution but most times it is not edible. There are lots of great activities There are unkept promises ie: the shuttle is not available as was said initially and the food is so bad. The caregivers and all the staff are wonderful, friendly and so helpful! Special shout out to [name removed] the marketing director and care giver [name removed]. She has shown great care for my parents when they were sick and when my dad fell. The kitchen/dining room staff is also very nice and attentive - unfortunately I the food has been poor quality I believe from lack of skills in that department. If the plumbing and food gets fixed I would give them 5 stars

My dad is now building his community there. Meal times are his anchor. He is now inviting new people to join in and being very intentional to help them make friends. He is starting to do more afternoon activities as well. It just takes time to make a new community home.

What we like the most about the community is the nurses, they are great. The staff in general has been awesome, and at the moment they do not have anything to improve on

The food has actually improved since a year ago. I think it's just hard. I mean institutional food whether a dorm, school lunch room or living facility just isn't as flavorful as homemade or restaurant. My one complaint is that, the only church services available are LDS. Also sooo many LDS meetings take place here. Having lived in UT for 30 some years, I'd forgotten how oppressive and annoying the culture is until you get use to it. It's been a very hard adjustment for my mom.

They could be more organized with the activities. And advertise the day on both levels of the community. They could be less messy and keep the floors in the dining room cleaned between meals. The decorate nicely but then only partially put things away. They need to clean dining tables between meals. They need to have more fiber in the menus. Like options for whole wheat breads. More greens ( not iceberg lettuce!)

The director and staff are friendly and really do make the tenant [fee amount] comfortable.
