Memory Care Communities in Coeur D Alene, ID

"The staff at Pine Ridge was wonderful, very caring, compassionate, and attentive. The food looked, and smelled good; but I never ate it. The rooms were very nice-sized. There were shared rooms, and some private ones; which had quite a bit of room to move around. They had music, games, puzzles, and activities everywhere. With the Alzheimer's, they had something simple as folding towels, trivia, etc. "

"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."

"Very professional staff. A very comfy place to live for medium-risk patients. It's nicely located about 5 minutes away from several grocery stores, yet also isn't in a high traffic area. The staff were trained to help people do basic things such as wash, use the toilet, and eat. Their rooms were also quite comfortable, with an electric reclining chair, a TV with cable, a comfortable bed, and a very large cabinet with a refrigerator for foods. A good choice for anyone, certainly better than some of the other homes I've been to in the Spokane area. "

"My mom is moving in. I like the facilities, and they're the only ones that take Idaho Medicaid. The rooms are beautiful, and the facility is beautiful. The staff is very nice, and the number of staff to patient is nice and high. Mom is moving in on January 3rd. They have activities every day, one is bingo, and they get three meals a day with three snacks. The staff looked efficient in what they did."

"I chose Orchard Ridge for Mom because I like the feel of it. It was like the way they reacted when we got there. I had been told it was fairly good for what my mother would need. The people that I've met were very friendly and caring towards the patients. They have areas where they can watch TV. They had areas where they could put together puzzles. They had areas where they did group activities."

"A loving friend of mine was admitted here. The entire situation has been heartbreaking. There is very little effort from the staff to help and assist her do things, and very little interaction. Aside from the necessary assistance, there is no attempt from caregivers to engage themselves with her. Many of The caregivers behave in a manner where what they’re doing is just an inconvenient chore, rather than out of care for the person. The actual care itself seems to be lazy and incompetent. She’s lifted and transferred in a lazy manner by multiple caregivers, and she’s actually been dropped once already resulting in a bruise (which will be addressed by other friends to the proper agency). There is a lack of expediency when it comes to issues within the room and with care. Examples include a toilet running issue that took multiple days to address and they still haven’t tended to other things like her television box. After many months, she still isn’t able to flip through channels and watch the shows she likes. We are talking about a basic amenity here!! There have been multiple times to address problems with her call button, and when it is working, it can take help an excessive amount of time to get there. When going to the bathroom, she is left on the toilet alone to the point where her bottom starts to hurt, and she has to call out saying she’s done. I could list more examples, but you get the idea. Bottomline, she seems to be treated like an inconvenience who they are required to put up with. That’s the main feeling I come away with in all of this, and the one big point I want to stress in this review. It really is heartbreaking seeing my friend reside at this place. "

"I like that The Renaissance at Coeur d'Alene is cottage style. It's just a small group of people that share a common living room, dining room, and kitchen area, and it's fully staffed. The rooms were nice sized. It's a beautiful place. They have tons of activities every day of the week. I love it. The staff during the tour was great, friendly, well-informed, and very helpful. It's nice."

"My mother-in-law lives in Peterson Place in Hayden, and they've been wonderful. They've had some COVID cases there, but they keep us updated since we haven't had the chance to visit. She is doing really well there. The last time we visited her room was very clean, and she's very clean, so she's being well cared for. She's been there for years now and the staff has been wonderful to her. The food was good the last time we visited. She's been thriving on it. The whole facility is very well-kept and very nice. I have not seen any activities but I'm looking forward to spring because they got "The Blessing Bike." They got into this competition with other places in Idaho, and they were gifted blessing bikes. They're bikes with a seat on the front, then somebody gets behind you. It's really nice because we're only about a mile away from the lake, so as soon as the weather gets nicer, we can ride her down there where there is a bike lane. She is not very active, and she doesn't walk around anymore, but the staff gets her up so she doesn't just stay in bed all day. The price is perfect for what we can afford."

"Wellspring Meadows is a great place and a nice facility. The people are very nice, and the residents were also very nice and comfortable. It was more like a home setting than a hospital. They cooked them breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They take them out for drives, they do bingo, and people come out from the church and sing for them. They have their own little rooms. It?s pretty nice. The food was really good; they were home cooked meals that they prepare and give to everybody; my grandpa liked it. It?s a good place and very comfortable. My grandpa fell in love with it as well as us. "

"We chose the Lodge at Riverside Harbor because they have an area where the residents can go outside. They can’t get away, but they can go outside and be in the sunshine. Almost everything has been great, and the staff has been great. They have lots of activities, and they have my mom involved in those. They had to take her to the doctor for us a couple times; they did that, and things were smooth. The food has been fine as far as I know. I really haven’t eaten any of it, but she seems to be doing OK. Her apartment is really nice. It is not elaborate, not huge, but it is pretty big for her to have a bed, a desk, and a chest of drawers. It is a beautiful place. "

"My mother is in Guardian Angel Homes for a couple of months. It's very nice. They've done an excellent job for us; they've been very helpful. They call or e-mail quite often to keep us updated. She seems to enjoy it. We have never been able to go in there, just because of the Covid rules at this point. She seems to be very comfortable in it. They seem to have activities in the afternoon, and couple times they've taken a few people out for like a little drive. So, seems to be good. I think that they do a good job. After talking to some other places that were a lot more money, I think this one is pretty reasonable. She's in the assisted living, but she does have her own apartment, just by the community the house that she lived in. I thought it was very, very nice. People are very nice to work with, and she seems quite happy there."

"I toured Generations Assisted Living. To me, it's all about the initial impact of being welcomed into the facility, and that was a really good one. My appointment got jumbled up because I did it wrongly online with them, so they weren't expecting me at that time I showed up, which to me was better. It was very clean, it was very calm, and it was very organized. When I first walked into the place, they invited me into a meeting area and I was able to discuss with one of the directors of the facility. She was very understanding and empathetic to my needs and wanted to hear about my mother where she's at physically and mentally. When she heard that, she gave me a tour of the communities. They have four homes there at this Generations of different levels of care. She showed me around. She gave me a tour of the courtyard, the different homes, and the kitchen area where they had a chef and a dietitian. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. It was like home. I didn't try the food, but I saw it. It was May 5th and they were celebrating Cinco de Mayo with everybody else. They're preparing different meals for the different homes. Some were able to make their own tacos and burritos, and some were already pre-made by the kitchen. I saw assisted living and memory care."
