Avista Senior Living

wonderful - but just too far

I have been living here for only two months but the experience i've had since being here has been positive and enjoyable. I'm very excited to be working here and the fact that everyone has been so warm & welcoming makes this community one of the top senior living i have ever been! Thank you all!

The transition from an independent to assisted living with emphasis on memory care can be difficult for a loved one and their family. So, we are appreciative to the executive administration and entire staff at Foothills Place who have made every effort to help our loved one feel comfortable, supported and engaged in surroundings and activities. Special thanks to Executive Director [name removed] who provided our family with excellent guidance and [name removed] in the business office was very responsive to the details of establishing residency along with the maintenance staff. The care providers have made every effort to implement a customized care plan with attentive activities director [name removed]. A pet friendly residence was essential as "kitty" has been a beloved family member for 15 years providing important companionship and Foothills Place has been very accommodating there also. The apartments and common areas are very clean and aesthetically pleasing. We are all resting more easily with our loved one in the care and surroundings of Foothills Place Senior Living.

My wife and I enrolled my Mother to the Abbington in May of 2016. From the moment she walk through the lobby doors until this day, almost 2 years later, she loves it. She really feels she’s home. The management, staff and all involved makes her feel welcome each and every day. I highly recommend this assisted living resort to anyone. [names removed]

The building is kept very clean. The entire staff is friendly and helpful. They really seem to care for all the residents. The food is very good, the residents seem very happy to live here. I would recommend Avista to a love one.

Our family has had three members live at Meadows Place. We have been extremely pleased with the care they have received and the wonderful attitude of all the staff members. Meadows place has very caring and skilled caregiving staff. The management team are directly involved and know the facility and industry. Other staff -- including kitchen and cleaning staff--also are interested and involved with residents. They are an amazing team. All staff members work together to care for residents. They never fail to greet residents, take an actual interest in their lives, and consistently monitor residents to identify changes in their health that may need to be addressed. They make an effort to get to know family members and keep family informed as needed. The facility has a wonderful, very experienced and lively activities director as well. it is a beautiful facility, but most important is the amazing team that support the residents!

I have been dealing with Senior Livings for a quiet some time now. I can tell you with no question in mind, this is one of the best Senior Living facility in Arizona. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for an independent, senior or Memory Care facility. Staff made me happy with how they take care of residents, just like they would their own. Nothing is perfect under the sun, thank you for trying your best to exceed my expectations. I’ll definitely miss coming to this place.

We found Syringa to be the best fit for Mom at this time. It’s a small facility and Mom felt the most comfortable here. The Executor and Manager were great to work with.

[Removed] was very accommodating and met us for our 2nd visit on her day off. I am very pleased with the facilities and the services they offer.

My father-in-law was here till he passed and it was nice. They took good care of him, he couldn't walk so his needs were high. They would make sure he was clean and up out of his bed. They would take him outside. Took him to the dining room to feed him. They washed his clothes and just treated him like a real person. It is very homey here and the administration ladies were amazing. I would recommend them to other families.

When you walk in this community it has a beautiful atmosphere. They are courteous, professional and seemed happy to be at work. They know all the resident's first names. Housekeeping does a good job of keeping things clean. Also the staff is patient and great about giving him directions before doing anything. They also try to engage him to join the daily activities. They provide 3 good meals a day and I would recommend this community to other families.

I toured this facility while looking for a place for my Mother. This is a one story facility but it is a little older. It’s a really nice place and the owner, [Removed], was just amazing. It’s a well-maintained property and the people are nice here. We even got to sit down and eat dinner with the other residents. However, we decided against bringing my mom here because it wasn’t what she needed. I would recommend this facility to other families.

Just from taking a tour here, they seem to be exceptional. They would’ve been my top choice for my Mom, however they don’t offer a provision to help with payment if she were to run out of money and it’s strictly assisted living so continuum of care is not available. The floor plan layout was very open with large, central living areas. The general atmosphere was positive and exceptional. The staff was very friendly and open and they were all interacting with the residents from what I could see. It was nice, just didn’t fit our specific needs.

Best facility in the Treasure Valley.

We recently moved our mother in and we could not be more pleased with her new home. It's such a warm inviting environment. Everyone from the staff to the residents are so pleasant. My moms studio apartment is perfect in size for her, not to large and not small it's not just an open space but a comfortable area with its own private bathroom, kitchenette, and even a small area for a bistro table. I am truly grateful that we found this place. My mom is happy and so are we. Thank you Aurora Place.

Great Choice and GREAT place for Mom!

The care staff here is very kind and Mom seems happy, content, and taken care of. So, all around, I’d say it’s going well. The food is good and there are tons of options to choose from. My Mom raves about it all the time, she really likes it. Everything I’ve seen is kept pretty clean and housekeeping comes by once or twice a week to clean the room. There’s a huge calendar filled with activities like scenic drives, exercise classes, family nights, bingo, and movie nights. There’s really a big variety for everyone to participate in. I would recommend them.

This community has been everything we expected and more. They are providing my sister and I with everything we need and they treat us like queens. The whole facility just feels warm, comfy, and like we’re at home. The food is good, the menu is good, and they have an excellent chef. You can even request a special meal and they will give it to you. For activities, they offer things like live entertainment, a lot of get-togethers, bingo, poker, and bible study. I would definitely recommend this facility. They give us everything that we could want.

[Removed] was a dynamic, caring leader of this facility. The location and atmosphere was so appealing my sister stated she would like living there. All the people living there were happy and content and proud of their personalized space. We hope to make a decision for my mom soon and hopefully have my mom in this location by the first to middle part of 2018.

The level of care offered here and the amount of people involved is exceptional. The staff team is very nice, really knowledgeable, and they take the time to answer all of our questions. They do a great job in keeping the facility neat and organized. There right on top with assisting with laundry when needed which has been really nice for us. With another location they weren’t as prompt with that kind of service. They also have all kinds of activities throughout the day. There about two to three things happening every day. It tailored for elderly people; they have this group called “Our Band” which includes local people who are elderly playing in a band. They also have things like games and movies. This morning they were paying bingo at 10:00am. They have things like ice cream socials so it’s a great for the residents to get them out and about from their rooms and socialize. The residents there are so welcoming and friendly surprisingly. I remember on the first day walking in we noticed a lady in her little wheelchair and she asked us “You have someone moving in?”. When we said yes she continued to tell how much of a beautiful place this is and how wonderful the people are. We come to find that many of the residents are like that. I recommend this community to other families.
