"I was very concerned about going from my house to an Assisted Living (AL) facility. My initial move was to the Adult Living part of the campus. However, due to the number falls I had taken, the paramedics recommended that I move to the AL facility where there was more staff. It turns out that this was the correct choice. During our search for the right facility we visited 4-5 different facilities campuses and finally settled on MorningStar. We selected MorningStar for the following reasons: 1. the ratio of staff to residents, 2. the level of activity, 3. the variety of activities 4. the competency of the staff 5. And, the upkeep of the buildings. This is by no means everything we looked at but I've provided list of some of then most important. I feel the best thing potential residents is to visit the facility (more than once), have lunch with the staff and residents and even stay at the facility. I hope this helps and will make the transition easier. "

"It was very nice, but it wasn't a good fit for my husband because it's an assisted living, not skilled nursing. The community was lovely and the people were lovely. It just wasn't the type of place that my husband needs. The staff showed me a studio and a one-bedroom. It was a waitlist for a one-bedroom, and the studio wouldn't have been appropriate for him. We had to furnish it ourselves, and it wasn't a good fit. Breakfast was included. There was a small library and a community room where they had puzzles and such games. I didn't meet any of the staff except the lady that did the tour. The building was lovely."

"We toured Truewood by Merrill, Boise. The staff is outstanding. They're warm and smiling. The memory care people were in there when we went. We saw my husband's room and they were busy doing crafts and things. A lot is going on, and they are not just sitting in chairs. The room my husband will be going into will be shared, and the room itself is immaculate. It looks clean, and it has a beautiful little courtyard, and it's also well-groomed."

"I like the way Caldwell Independent Living is set up. It's brand new, it's comfortable, and it provides what I need. The staff is very kind, helpful, and supplies the needs that I have. It's affordable."

"My father was in the memory center at Ashley Manor. I liked the staff very much. The place was very clean and didn't have an odor. It's a house that had 13 beds in the middle of a nice subdivision. They prepared their food for them and had activities and a nice fenced-in backyard where clients could go outside. One of the clients was interested in gardening so they provided him a raised bed and some plants and vegetables for him to grow. It was a nice facility. My dad had a lovely room with a comfortable bed, a bureau, and a lift chair. It also had another chair for visitors and a closet. It was light, bright and had two windows. We felt the security for the patients was poor. What they did was each patient had a buzzer that they wear around their necks, so if they needed help, they could push the buzzer, but my dad wouldn't wear his. There was also a monitor in the room, so if my dad moved out of the bed and close to the window, it would go off, but there was another smaller window which was behind a very heavy chair. Nobody thought he'd go out of that window but he did, and the monitor did not pick that up. The food looked like a lot of it was canned vegetables chopped up. My mom felt that the place was understaffed. If one person called out for some reason, then there was only one person there to take care of 13 people. However, the staff was very caring, loving, and nice."

"We saw the memory care of The Gables of Caldwell Assisted Living and Memory Care. The assisted living and memory care were both together. There was no separate area for the two, and that was one thing that concerned me. Their memory care was also not for advanced memory care. It was for the patients who were basically just diagnosed, so that was another thing. I think that was probably why they had them both together. It was a very small facility. It was a house that they had just converted, and they had, maybe, nine patients. The facility was clean, and the patients looked happy. They had activities for the people who lived there. During the tour, they offered us something to drink since I don't think we were there at the time when they had meals. They have a garden spot outside if the residents want to go outside. Most of the people who lived there had a roommate. The staff members looked like they were competent in what they were doing and took care of the people well. They seemed aware of the people that lived there because there weren't a whole lot of them, to begin with. That was pretty okay. They had an outdoor space, but it was small, so there wasn't a lot of room for the people to just walk and wander. There was a living room area for them to sit and watch TV. There was a dining room for them to eat their meals, a place outside to sit, and then their own rooms."

"My mother is at Lenity Senior Living. It's a nice place, but we have some issues that we've been trying to deal with there. We liked it when we first brought her there. She has her own room, but she has to share her bathroom with a gal that's on the other side. That gal is very tall and a bully, and has been berating my mother and barges in the bathroom when she's in the bathroom or taking a shower; she tells her to get out. She's very rude to her. My mom is only 4'9," and this gal is super big. The gal doesn't seem to mind having the doors wide open when she's going to the bathroom. I went in to see my mom one time and there she was sitting on the pot stark naked. It's something I didn't expect at all, and I can't get the image out of my mind. I talked to the owner of the place. He said that he had a talk with my mother's roommate and told her that that bathroom was my mom's and hers. I think things have settled down a bit there. Another problem we have with them is my mom can't see. She can't see the clock, and she doesn't know what time it is. She's usually in her room sitting in the dark and sometimes she'll be just sleeping. They won't wake her up to bring her to the meals, so she's missed meals; but the guy who owns the place said he's gone in there to let her know that the meals are being served. She said she'll be there, and she doesn't show up. He goes back, and she's sleeping again in her room. Part of the problem might be my mom, but they just seemed short staffed. When you go on the weekends, there might be two people there. I've walked into the building and got into my mom's room, talked to her, and walked out; no one knew that I was even there. That might have been an odd weekend when they didn't have the door locked. Communication is tough. Talking to my mom is sometimes difficult because they have these portable phones. They're usually busy doing other things. They'll say, "Call back in an hour." I will call back in an hour, and then nobody answers the phone. I just go see her twice a week. The staff members that I talk to who are there are really good. It's just sometimes I think that they're understaffed and overwhelmed. Individually, I think they're very good people. I don't have any problems. They make you wear a mask if you want to go in. They have a bus, and they take the residents who want to different places. I'm friends with the activities gal, and she's really up to speed on trying to make people happy and do things. She's tried having Zoom meetings for us, so we can get to know the residents and the residents can talk to us."

"The Cottages of Middleton was very friendly and very open. They told us when they do laundry, showed us different rooms, and different things like that. They have apartments that you furnished on your own. Some are larger than others. They have a gated area where they can go outside. They have a game room. Not too long ago, they had a painting group come in where they do those kinds of activities in the evening, like they can paint or have a game night. They take them out on field trips."

"My mother has been at Home Sweet Home for about a month now. The staff is great, very helpful, and enjoy their job. My mom likes it there, and they're really good to her, so it's a good place. She is in a clean, medium-sized room with a hardwood floor. The bathroom is right across the hall. The place has a garden and a nice patio area outside."

"My mom was a resident of Luna House Assisted Living. I liked it most that they were the only ones willing to take my mom. I like the staff a lot. The people that work there are really nice and extremely helpful. The facility is great. It's nice, landscaped, and well-kept. They had an in-house doctor that would come and see the people there. They also have an in-house pharmacy, so they just take their meds there. Overall, they were wonderful."

"We visited several people at Park Place at one time. Entertainers would come in, and we listened to them singing. They did a good job caring for the people there. It was maybe a little bit better place than the others, but it's been a while too since we've been there. It was summer of 2018. They said they needed people to visit other people that didn't get visits from anybody. We were kind of reluctant to do that. We knew this other gal, and she became a dear friend; but when it's a perfect stranger you're going to see, you don't always know if you're going to hit it off. We really didn't hit it off with these other people. It was kind of awkward, so we didn't pursue it. We went there a couple of times and made an attempt to try to befriend these elderly folks. It was a nice place. It was bigger than the others, and it seemed like they always needed help there. They're always advertising for help, so I don't know if they're short staffed or what the deal is. Every time we drive by, they're always needing help for positions. It's right across the street from a park, and it's in a nice neighborhood. The staff members we met were really nice and friendly. I didn't have any problem with them. It's kept up very well."
