Avista Senior Living

My loved one is currently a resident at Spring Gardens Draper. The move in process went pretty smooth. The staff is very friendly, seem very good at remembering names and are very polite and friendly. The food is good, but not excellent. Also, there is an extreme LDS vibe at this facility. I know it's Utah, but it would be nice if there were some non-denominational services or if they invited someone besides LDS church to provide some services. They might try to say they are non-denominational, but they are not. The facility is trying hard to improve areas that they are weak in. The laundry service leaves a lot to be desired. The nursing staff seems very kind, but there are a lot of mix ups in time schedules. My main reason for choosing this facility was the size of the rooms, nice size fridge and the clean newness of the facility. My loved one is use to new surroundings and this place has a friendly feeling when you enter and everyone is very kind. A Resident Committee has recently formed to address grievances and I think it is helpful to the residents, as well as to the facility. They are very accommodating, but it just doesn't seem to be a "smooth running ship" yet. However, I believe that it will get there.

It is not easy to find who the correct person to contact when it comes to medical. There are multiple contacts for Leading MD's and Avanti. The cavity is top notch! And based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend them to other families.

What we like the most about the Avista Yakima community is the helpful staff members they have working there. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend them to other families who are looking for a place for their loved ones.

We recently had an issue with meds being uploaded and dispensed - I'm hoping we have it figured out. Otherwise we have really been happy with this facility for my mom. Based on the experience we have had so far with Spring Gardens Draper we would recommend this community to other families.

Our family had an in person tour experience with Heron Place and this community didn't work because they didn't have memory care. However they were very nice and gave me a list of top rated facility.

I love that it's smaller which means everyone knows each other - when my mom was there they had such caring people for her especially [name removed]and [name removed] and [name removed] - and the middle lawn area is sweet. I would definitely recommend Jasmine Place.

My mother was a resident at Syringa Place and this facility is a very good Assisted Living place. The cleanliness and friendliness were great. The staff was great as well. My mother just needed more one on one care, so she was only at this facility for a short time. I would recommend this facility to family and friends.

There is a very family like feel to the facility. All of the attendants and directors were very welcoming, and made us feel that they really cared about our father. We were soon recognized as his family and treated as their family as well. They took good care of him And he felt at home. I would highly recommend.

The staff is very friendly and the resident nurse is helpful and responsive to my mom's needs. Apparently the food isn't that good. We picked this community because, my mom has a childhood friend that lives there.

Had to wait a long time for escorts because they are short-staffed.

We have spread the word to those looking for a good facility. Caring staff, and a well-maintained facility.

We really liked the community; however, they didn't have the special medical equipment that my loved one needed. Carlo was wonderful to work with during the tour as well.

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.

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.

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