"Homestead Assisted Living Centers - St Anthony has been very great to my mother-in-law. That place is very amazing. The house supervisor there has been just so good to her. It's a very good place. It just wasn't working out with family members there. Unfortunately, that is why we had to take her out. They were very great. They put up with a lot in seven months of family stuff. Even with the care, she was more demanding than a lot of other patients there; they were still right on it. They weren't qualified or staffed to do that, but they did take care of her very well. She said the food was wonderful. She actually put on weight and enjoyed the food. I've tried some of it. It's homemade, not frozen. They do grill for them. The manager will get out and grill some hot dogs or hamburgers sometimes. They're all equipped with cable. It would have been nice to have phones set up in there, like landlines. That's the only thing that I didn't like, that there wasn't a landline. They were very good at taking her the phone and letting her use it. They have wireless phones inside. It would have been better to have a personal phone in a room. She can't use a cell phone anymore. That's kind of just the downside there. It would have been a plus. Other than that, the rooms were great. They got their own bathrooms and showers. They also have a spa and salon. They have a big patio with shaded tables. They have a big room. They do puzzles, and they have one big computer. Any of them can get on it at anytime. They do have some exercise equipment, and a couple of spots where they can go sit outside. There's also a patio upfront in the shade with a swing on it. It's kept up very well and very clean. They are taking care of flowers. It's very nice. There wasn't a lot of activities going on, so that's kind of a downside. I wish they would have something like that going on. They do have a movie night. Sometimes they put a movie in during the day, but I just didn't see a lot of activities going on other than that. The manager there helped out a lot on where to get what we needed to get her in there. They also were helpful on what kind of insurance we needed to get her on. They even let her in at first with a deposit of $3500. They reimbursed once her Medicaid part kicked in. That was very helpful because we really needed to get her into a place right then. It was very great of them."

"The assisted living home that my Grandfather was in was clean and orderly, I have my issues already with these homes because I know I do not want to have to be left in a home for the remaining years of my life. I was satisfied with the care that was provided, and was comfortable leaving at night knowing he was there, only because there is an end goal in mind, he will be going home as soon as he can get out of bed on his own again and is safe to be around the home, with a live in care giver. The rehabilitation area was nice, the staff was knowledgeable and was able to deal with my bull headed patriarch, they were able to get him working on the weak left side and did so without issues or angry words.

"Zero help. Kelsey is no help giving any information. Horrible customer service and horrible institution especially for those that need the most help."

"My mother-in-law will be moving into Briarwood Assisted Living of Rexburg. It's very homey and just feels like home; that's what's great about it. It's actually a home that got turned into a nursing facility. It's really great. It's nice for people with memory care; there's a yard, but it's locked in. They can't escape or wander. They have 24-hour CNAs; that's also great. I've heard great news about it from other people so far. The staff were wonderful. It was the owner/manager. Her name's Hilary. She was really great. She explained everything very well and answered any questions I had. They even went up yesterday to the assisted living she was staying at, and visited with her to kind of see what her needs would be before they got her in. They kind of got to know her before they even got her in there. The rooms are very homey. It doesn't feel hospital-like or nursing home-like. It was just a very homey experience. I think that's very good for transitioning when they have to move out of their homes and move into a place like that. It almost felt like a home, and it was very good on transitioning them. The upkeep and maintenance is very well, and it's clean. I haven't had a chance to try their food. They have a kitchen, and it's like you're sitting in your own kitchen at the table. It's just like you're at home. I imagine the food will be great. It's really a great place, and I'm excited to see how well she does there. I think it's going very well. I think it's a good place. I can get my father-in-law into it also when he is ready. The staff was very wonderful, down to earth, and very easy to get along with. She was great."

"My mother was at Sage Grove Assisted Living. The staff was really good to my mom and kept everything very clean and nice. It was a nice place for her to be. They took very good care of her. She had a small room with a single bed in it. They were very good about letting my father go in and stay with her during the day. "
