Assisted Living Communities in Lewiston, ID

"My father is a resident of Wedgewood Terrace. My father had issues that required care, but his experience so far is fine. The staff takes him to his regular doctors' appointments, and follows the orders that my father is supposed to follow with respect to the care and medication prescribed to him. They're very good with that. He's reasonably happy in this community compared to the place where he was before. Since he moved into Wedgwood they prescribed some medication which seems to have helped improve his mental state. He seems to get along with most of the people there just fine, so that's a good sign. On the other side, there have been some concerns where he had a fall and had to be taken to an emergency room, which they've taken care of. All the things they're supposed to be doing in that regard, seems to be taken care of, and they were concerned. He did have a problem with his laundry. They weren't checking his pockets and washed his bills; that sort of thing. They don't do dry cleaning, so his clothes got put in the washer, which was probably our fault. It's a smaller environment with less people for him to communicate with and less things for him to do. It would have also been better if there were more activities to keep his interests up."

"My mom is in Golden Girls Residential Care. Primarily, we chose it for its location. Plus, they could take care of all levels of care. They got high recommendations from the people who live there, too. It's clean, homey, and has a good vibe. The staff over there are very professional and very compassionate. There are a lot of registered nurses and CNAs present quite often. The food is nutritious and diverse. They have a lot of different recipes they use so I don't think it's going to get boring. It's homemade food, too. It's just a very small home, like a community house. I visited and called quite a few different places and out of all of them, this is the one that stood out."

"My mom lived in Evergreen. It was a very nice and clean community that took care of the needs of their patients, had good meals, and always made Mom feel safe and secure. The rooms were of a good size, and she made several good friends there. "

"My wife moved into Avalon progressive Care LLc. I think they have good staff. In this area, they had a hard time keeping staff. The staff in her nursing home has been there quite a while, so that's saying something. My wife thinks the food is good. My wife chose this community."

"I couldn't be more pleased with Riverview Residential Home & Care. They are a 5 out of 5 stars so far, on every single thing. My father-in-law has only been there a couple of weeks and I can't even say enough good things about them. He loves the country and the great outdoors, and this place has a view of the river and the golf course. He's not looking at a busy street and he can sit out on the deck. When we toured the home, the caregivers immediately talked directly to him and made him feel at home. It was the people, the view, and the care that he needs that were important to us, but the people taking care of him would truly treat him as somebody that they would care for and love. So far, the food must be really good because he doesn't complain. The other day they made him his favorite meal, a chicken fried steak, in which he saved some leftovers for breakfast, so I'm thinking that must mean it's pretty good. The only thing he has complained about is they won't let him have sausage and bacon every single morning. He can't have that with his heart condition, but since he was living on his own, he did whatever he wanted, up until now. That's his biggest complaint so far. The dining area was a big family table. They have six residents and they all sit there together and I think he eats better in that kind of environment instead of all by himself. They're doing some gardening out on the deck too. He's going to plant his tomato plants that he wants and a cucumber plant. I know they have other extended activities but that has not been a huge priority for us. Mostly I needed him to have interaction. His room is of average size and they have allowed him to do absolutely anything he wants there. They have alarms in his bedroom, so when he doesn't let anybody know that he's getting up, they know. The staff is, again, phenomenal. They really are. They have a mix of both men and women, which is a great change for him. He needed that because he had very, very little interaction before. The transition was not easy for him, but everybody was very patient and really worked with him to try to make him comfortable and happy, every single one of them. They are also now in the process of doing some updating, which is going to make the place even more beautiful, so that's going to be awesome, too. It's the best money he's ever spent and we're very comfortable knowing he's safe and happy."

"Hill House Memory Care is very family centered and family style. Everybody that I spoke with was welcoming and friendly. They answered my questions directly. The facility is new, so it's nice, clean, and secure. They have a salon and a courtyard. They have a family style dining area. They have what they call a four season room. It is very open with lots of natural light. There will be raised garden beds, which I think is a plus."
