Avista Spokane

The community offers a wide variety of activities however I am not sure what if any of them my friend has tried. There have been no complaints about the food. The community is kept very clean inside and out. The only thing I might say is that the storage in the rooms seems short. I would recommend Windriver Place.

It was s very quick and efficient move Ito Windrover. The staff already seems to know and get along well with their new resident. The Executive Director, Trudy, is fantastic, great nursing crew and it's a clean, nice building.

The only thing we have to say about this place is wonderful!

Everything there is great! IT is a wonderful place.

Overall I think WindRiver is excellent. They keep the place clean and cheerful, and the caregivers seem to really care about the residents. It's a high quality place for our elders. My only complaint is directed at corporate headquarters where their dietician doesn't seem to be at all sensitive to the dietary needs of older people who are often diabetic, lactose sensitive, and need soft meat. I have found that in this industry, the least professional caregivers are overworked and underpaid, unfortunately, but the wonderful caring souls at WindRiver still give kind and caring attention wherever they are needed.

Windriver Place really is in a nice neighborhood of houses. Near a main street so easy to get to even in bad weather. The facility access is great for wheeled devices like walkers. The staff are heroic in the care they give. Everyone there has been kind, helpful and tolerant of my mother's dementia-based antics. There is a lovely covered and open patio in the interior and plenty of outdoor seating. They strongly encourage family visits by hosting everybody for events like Grandparent's Day. Each room has big windows to let in the sunshine. Staff including administrators are helpful and they work hard to keep everybody comfortable and happy. There's a cozy fireplace in the living room area, a busy craft room, and a TV room, too.

They were very kind to family and mom the ladies that we met were older and compassionate to my mother. I would recommend to anyone. My mom was only at this facility for 5 days when she took a turn for the worse had to be admitted to hospital and the staff of Windriver was supportive and helpful with the situation.

We're very pleased with Windriver Place so far. The facility itself is very nice, and well laid out for seniors. It is a smaller community and I like that is just a short walk from any of the bedrooms to the dining room or common areas. Those whole place has a warm, close-knit feel, and the residents receive a lot of hands-on care. The only downside I've seen is that they do not accept medicaid as a payment option, which may be a dealbreaker for some families.

The most important part of where we live is the people that are involved. My experience with Windriver Place has been genuinely positive and professional, caring and personal. My dad was not at all happy with the idea of moving into an assisted living facility and made no effort to hide his thoughts or feelings. The transition was difficult for him and I, especially the first couple of weeks, but everyone involved with him at Windriver is so encouraging and willing to help in any way they can. We're about six weeks in now and Dad's attitude has mellowed some as he has adjusted to his new surroundings and the other folks that are a part of his new world. I'm very grateful to the staff for their patience, encouragement and willing attitudes for helping us navigate these times.
