"The tour I had at North Star Retirement Community was fantastic. I liked the pricing, I liked that they had 3 meals a day, and I liked that they accepted service dogs. I liked the place all together. It was nice. The apartment looked very good for a single man. The place was extremely clean. If I was going to go to a retirement community, it would be this facility. The location was perfect, and everything was perfect. I saw the residents playing cards and socializing. The gym was great, and the dining room was fantastic. The downstairs area, the lobby and the lounge room, were just fantastic. There was a piano, a TV, and everything you could think of. They had a bus. I felt comfortable there. I felt like part of it and I felt like this was the place."

"I loved Brookdale Coeur d'Alene. My cousin would have been in assisted living, which is what I loved about that place. You couldn't say, 'Oh, they're assisted living or they're independent' because they were all mixed in together. They have this amazing veterans group that meets every Friday, which would have been ideal for my cousin. All the people were just visiting and chatting, I was very, very impressed with this place, and the cleanliness, they were on top of it. The room was small, but I think it was a decent-sized room about what my cousin has now, it just didn't have as big a closet. I thought it was a very nice-sized room. It had little appliances that my cousin could have his own drinks in his fridge or whatever, and it was just a small fridge. We talked with the sales gal and asked lots of questions, and she answered them well. It just made me want to stay there. They were all interacting with the people living there and with each other respectfully and kindly. They treated us that way, too, so I was impressed with the staff. The people seemed clean and that's another nice thing. "

"I visited for my son. The people that worked there were great. I only met two of the staff, and they were wonderful. The place was really nice, very clean and modern. There was nobody in the cottages that we looked at, so they were really not furnished yet."

"The facility is great with a lot of friendly staff. They are very helpful and their communication is great! "

"Colonial Court Assisted Living is 100 times better than where Mom came from. This is small and has like 50 residents. They order their food in the morning so that when they get it, it's cooked, it's fresh, and then they serve it. They try to cook healthy food, and they give medicines on time. They genuinely care about their residents there. They have a nurse five days a week. I can communicate with them about my mother's needs, and they get back to me. There's somebody there, and when they see things that crop up, they notify the family, and they will get medical attention right away. She gets her medicine on time, and they encourage them to get out, do things together, and have some socialization. They give her, her showers there. She gets her needs met. She is in a studio apartment. It's one big room with a bathroom, and it's not a full kitchen. It's just a part of a kitchen, and it has a sink, a little refrigerator, and a microwave. They put out food around 10:00 to 11:00, so they can have vegetables and fruits mid morning. In the afternoon, they put out something, too. They have a big area where they have a porch and chairs, and stuff like that. They have a library and a game room. They can go there to talk and visit. The activities can be beefed up a little bit more. Value for money is pretty average. I think what they're charging is what all the others charge. Every one of these assisted living places should be like them, have good food, and have people who care."

"I have been living at Holman Gardens independent living for a little while now. I think it's great here. They have a congenial and helpful staff and they have a lot of amenities; it's just a great place to live. My apartment is really great; I have two bedrooms, a full kitchen, and a patio. I don't know what else I could want. They offer us all kinds of activities. We get dinner every day and some other occasional meals, they have rides where they take us to and from doctors appointments, and we get all kinds of bus trips, do activities, and go grocery shopping. In terms of food, I like some things, and I don't like other things, but they offer alternatives. If you don't like what's on the menu you can call them ahead of time and order something different, because they have a list of things they can make in place of the normal menu. The staff is wonderful, we get housekeeping, and if we can't make it to the dining room they bring us a meal to our rooms. Even the gardeners know our names and they're nice. If something goes wrong in the apartment, you just give them a call and they'll be out pretty quick to fix what's wrong. I just can't say enough good things about them. They work very hard to keep up with the place."

"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."

"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."

"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 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."

"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."

"My sister-in-law is at Rockwood South Hill and I go up there a lot. It's expensive to get into. You have to outlay a tremendous amount of money to be able to get in. I have a lot of friends that live there and they have private homes there. It's a beautiful community, but you have to buy in and there's a long waitlist. It's a five-star place if you can afford it. It's a luxury full service but it's for life because once you're in, you go all the way through until death. You're there forever. You never move out. The staff is very friendly. They go over and above. What I like best are the restaurants. They have different levels. They have great big 3000 square foot apartments and small ones. The atmosphere is outstanding. The layout is sprawling."

"Affinity at South Hill is very clean, and the staff members were very professional. It's a very nice place, and I believe it's the best that I have seen. The place is quite comfortable, and it's easy to feel at home. It's a little difficult to get to it from the highway, but the staff members are great."
