Independent Living Communities in Coeur D Alene, ID

"My friend really liked Broadway Court Estates. It's beautiful. They've got big rooms and full kitchens. They have a swimming pool. They got it all. They got some beautiful furniture in their lobbies, and the setup was beautiful there. That's what my friend liked about it. They probably had the biggest rooms of all the ones we saw. I have nothing bad to say about that place. We didn't eat there, but the smells that come out in the kitchens make you hungry. Everybody that we met was on their best behavior. We didn't see anybody that would try your patience at all. They were all real professional, very courteous, and told us everything that we wanted to know, and even sat down with you to ask any questions. They even gave you numbers to call them back and ask the question, if you couldn't think of it at the time. They were all good that way, and just real helpful. Each apartment had their own full size washrooms. It's a wow when you walk into there."

"I toured Brookdale Park Place two and a half years ago. I went to see the independent living part of it. The people were so nice and so informative. They told me everything about the place and gave me a grand tour. It was really good. They were just so willing to help you and work with you in anything you needed. Their food was good too. It seemed like the place needed new carpet in the hallways. It's understandable because there are so many people there with electric scooters and walkers so if they go outside, they bring a lot of dirt in on their wheels so it would be hard to keep it clean."

"We are leaning towards the Gallery at Spokane Assisted & Senior Living because of its price. While it was high, it had much better amenities compared to other places. We also liked the fact that it was a true age in place. If Dad potentially needed to move from independent living to assisted living, he would not have to move to a different room or a different building. They could provide either of those services in the apartment that he would rent. The apartment was impeccable. It's brand new, so it's clean and bright. It's very well laid out. It is updated and modern. We looked at their menu offerings and it exceeded the others. As opposed to the others, which had set eating times, or were limited to one meal or two meals per day, you can go down at the Gallery at Spokane Assisted & Senior Living at 3:00 in the afternoon and get a sandwich if you want from the bistro. You are not restricted to any particular dining area or any particular dining time. You get three meals and I liked that the dinner has a selection of entrees. We saw the gym, the hair salon, the common areas, and the outdoor spaces, and they were all lovely, well-designed, open, bright, and airy. We really liked having the nice concierge up front. It felt like an upscale condo/apartment or hotel that I would gladly stay in. The only thing that made it seem like it was for senior citizens is the handicapped accessible bathroom. Otherwise, it wasn't like some place my grandmother decorated. They were also very informative and easy to talk to."

"I was impressed with Solista Spokane by Cogir. They took me on the whole tour of the different-sized rooms and all the amenities. The staff was so helpful, answered all my questions, very professional, and very pleasant. It was very well maintained and very organized, and it looks like a place that I wouldn't mind calling home."

"My sister is at Bestland Senior Living Community and it's working out well. They had a beautiful garden and they have a gardening club that keeps it up and maintains it. She has a room over the garden. They're very friendly and accommodating. She has a husband and he can be with her for just $400 extra a month and it includes all his food. It's terrific. The residents have been there for like 10 years, and they like it. People working there have been there for 9 or 10 years as well. So, there's a lot of stability in that place. The staff is incredible. Connie, the one who helped me over the phone, was terrific. She's the best. My sister likes the food. Everything's fine. They have choices. She already went to play Pinnacle, they had a Hawaiian party, and they take them out on outings. She went to the lake. Value for money is terrific. It's a great deal."

"We are living in an independent living place called Affinity at Coeur d'Alene. It's close to the doctors. Everything is handy shopping wise. Anything that you can ever need is close. Everyone seems friendly. The community takes dogs, and that's one thing that we were looking for. It's clean and it's kept clean. There are lots of activities going on. I haven't been able to take advantage of them because I've been moving in, but I plan on it. The staff is good. They have a library, a swimming pool, hot tubs, an exercise facility, and family dining rooms if you want to bring in extra people for a big celebration of any sort. They have a billiard room and a game room. They have many different craft rooms. Anything that you could want, they have."

"We toured Garden Plaza of Post Falls and to us it is the best place. They have the nicest facilities and have more things to do. It's just a good spot. The staff were really good. The place is just well done and nicely decorated."

"Talon Hills was great. I like its location. It's a smaller unit and it's up against the hill. They have some of the regular apartments, which were 3-4 buildings, 10 cottages, a 2-story building with 20-25 apartments for 55 and older. They also have a little café and laundry facilities You can also bring your own laundry facilities if you have them. It really looks pleasant. We first met the assistant while the manager was gone and they were very nice. There were paths to walk outside and there was grass. For some people it won't be enough, but we don't want or need a lot of amenities."

"I'm currently in Whispering Pines. It's very good. I'm in a two-bedroom, and the layout is nice. It's a fairly small community. I've met a couple of the neighbors, even though I haven't been outside much because I have been sick. Everybody seemed to be nice and friendly. The lady who takes care of any of the issues is very responsive. She calls right back or comes out. I haven't participated in anything, but I know that they have activities over at their activity center, which is just basically across the street from me and down just a little bit. They have Pinnacle in there every Thursday or Friday. They have all sorts of different things you can sign up for. There's a little barbecue area out back if you want. It's very nice. It's set up to accommodate a lot of different activities."

"I have moved into Olympus Living of Spokane Valley. The food is terrible though. It's just awful. The facility itself looks nice, but it's not nice. They have their own little activities, and what they do have is just dumb stuff. I have a two-room apartment. I clean it myself, so it's OK. Regarding their staff, I hardly ever see them. They have bingo, but they have no prize if you win. They go bowling, but it's not fun. None of the activities are fun. I think the cost is too much of what you get."

"We visited Sullivan Park Assisted Living Community. We looked at the independent part, but we are looking for a place that will easily transition to assisted because we envision that we will need that eventually. We looked at a separate cottage and it was fine. The staff was all very good."

"I am a resident of Evergreen Fountains. The staff are wonderful. It's got everything you could think of, an indoor swimming pool and lots of activities. The food is very good. So we're very comfortable here. We're on the top floor and have a one-and-a-half bedroom and two bathrooms. We have our own kitchen. We don't do any cooking, it's very comfortable. This was one of their deluxe units. We have a cleaning lady every week, and she pays you an excellent job, they're very particular."

"My sister is at Orchard Crest LLC. It's very new and very comfortable. They have many of the same options that other places that I visited had. For instance, they have a little coffee stand, and they have a hairdresser that comes in. It is easy to get around. It's all just one great big square. I have yet to find a staff member or a caregiver who is not caring, very responsible, and very attentive to all of the residents. In terms of activities, they have exercises every day. Twice a day, they have activities such as batting the balloon back and forth, they have bingo games, and they have arts and crafts kinds of things that they do. There's a quite variety of different physical activities that they provide. The food is very good. They get three meals a day, and they're nutritious meals. They have vegetables, fruits, and all of that."
