Grace Assisted Living

This facility was very good. Each resident has their own apartment with toilet facilities. They can set up their living space how they wish with furniture and decorations. Many of the apartments there have accesses to and outside patio area with trees and flowers. The people there are friendly and organize many activities such Wii Bowling and other games. The whole place was very modern and clean and the staff seemed to take pride in their work. Grace Assisted Living also provided residents with field trips to local stores as well as sight seeing around the Boise area such as nature areas and the zoo. Of course these are all optional and no one is forced to go. Workers there provided as much support as needed and are flexible how they help people. For the most part they seem to let the residents do their own thing, only assisting if needed. Overall, it is a good place.

In my visit I found the conditions to be very satisfactory. The staff and residents were friendly. My family member which resided here found it very easy to get together with people who she identified with and grew close to many of the members. She did not like the food, but she is a picky person , but i'd say the food was fine. The housing conditions were nice and cozy, they were equipped with numerous safety features which was an important factor in her decision to live there. All the residents I met were friendly and nice, very social. One of the nicest things was how sunny and bright the rooms got. I found this was very important for a family member who has depression. I really think she thrived there due to friendly nature of the staff and residents, the active social life provided, and the numerous amenities and safety features they make available to the residents.

Grace Living for Seniors is a great facility with a professional staff and clean environment. As a CNA student, i've personally toured the facility and the employees of the facility are well mannered and actually care about the health of the senior occupants. However, the overall atmosphere of the facility is quite intimidating at first and this may deny some potential occupants for this facility, however, the attitudes of the employees as well as the implementation of some CNA students working at the facility helps ease the modd. Overall, the cleanliness and overall attitude helps makes this facility great. What i personally like about this facility is the acitvity direction. I've volunteered at this facility and the staff friendliness helped with my first experience within the facility. Volunteering as an activity director helped give me a feel for this Assisted Living Home which overall is great.
