Independent Living Communities in Idaho Falls, ID

"The staff is so caring. I have been so impressed with the careful attention to detail during this past year. They updated the decor and it is bright and happy. "

"The facility seems nice and clean. It has lots of activities for the residents and a shuttle to go around town. The kitchen staff really seems to care about the residents and my grandparents and gives them special things that they like to eat. When we went there, our kids loved playing with the pool table and shuffleboard in the common areas. Even going for a walk in the facility was pleasant. "

"Fairwinds - Sand Creek seemed extra large. It had three floors. They have the most available options in room sizes and a lot to choose from if they become available. So you would be able to find a room in your price range. The facility was very clean and very nice. The staff offered me a dessert on my way out, and that was amazing."

"Since coming to the St. Anthony Cottages in April of 2023, we have found the facilities well cared for. When we first moved in, there were some things in the apartment that needed attention. Tyler and his staff responded immediately and have continued to do so. Proper maintenance is an ongoing process and requires our assistance and notice to the Staff. Lawns are well cared for, walks and driveway are plowed, shoveled and cleared when they need to be, and the weekly cleaning of the apartment has exceeded expectations. There is an ongoing issue with the Internet service; but there seems to be an issue region wide. Tyler and his staff have been very accommodating to bring us back online as soon as possible--typically within hours if not minutes. There is a power surge issue that is hard to overcome under any circumstance. They have replaced hardware so effected without hesitation. Periodically the internet will go down sometime in the weekend. I do not request the repair being respectful of their family time on weekends. They have always fixed the issue on the following Monday morning. The Staff has been remarkably responsive and service oriented. Like most businesses, staff turnover is a problem--as it is an any industry right now. It takes some patience to help teach and direct as they learn their positions. It does require some adjustment on our behalf as we get to know the new staff. Most of our staff relationship is through the food services. The Food presentation suffers sometimes with new staff, but overall is supplied well prepared. I would suggest that the food is high quality cafeteria. Sometimes lacking in protein, but nevertheless of decent quality. The delivery of the meals is consistently a little late and sometimes early. I think the worse we've seen has been 30 minutes early and 45 minutes late. Normally the delivery is within 5 to 10 minutes of when it's promised. There are abundant activities, and the staff are open to suggestions. If you want to volunteer, it seems this is the best area to do so. There are budget constraints; but overall, seems adequate in variety to keep us interested. The Value is superior to other facilities I've seen or visited. This place isn't perfect, none are, but we are cared for, respected, and looked after like we are family. Our fellow residents are friendly, accepting, and enjoyable to be around."
