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."

"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."

"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."

"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 toured Rose Pointe Assisted Living. The staff was awesome. She has even gone out of her way to help me sort out information with other things. She has been willing to help me even with us not going with her like putting my mother on the waitlist for a single room even though that's not going to open up. She's answered all my questions. She even scanned paperwork in for me, so I would have a digital version of the stuff. She went out of her way in ways that you could not imagine. She gave me a nice big full tour of the place, too. I like that facility, I like their rooms, and I like the amount of space that you have and stuff. They have outdoor spaces, but the outdoor areas are a little bit smaller."

"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."

"My grandmother is at Sunshine Gardens in Spokane Valley. They've been great. I was in there to see her when our mom passed away and they've been phenomenal for us. I saw her room before moving in through Zoom. The staff is great, they are very informative, and I talk to them every other day. She's doing some therapy, which is good for her, and they do whatever the daily activity plan is. They modified it, just a little bit, but she has something to do every day."

"I got my husband into Ciel of Spokane. The staff is extremely helpful and nice. It's extremely clean and quiet. The residents all seem settled in and content. I have no complaints. My husband thinks the food is pretty tasty compared to some of the other places he's been to. The food is prepared, and it looks pleasing to the eye. They serve you on a nice plate, and it's not really bland. They have activities. They have bingo, they have games to play, they have field trips, and they have movies to watch. They have entertainment where people come in and sing during the holidays, and then once a week they have a couple of people that come in and sing. For value for money, I think all those homes are pretty expensive, but you get what you pay for. But the one selling point that I like about Ciel of Spokane is that each resident has a separate room, and they have motion sensor detectors in the room. So if someone is getting out of bed in the middle of the night, the sensor will alert the nurse's station, so they can go and check on the person."
