We looked at numerous places before deciding on Karcher. They were the clear leader in our decision and have not failed to disappoint.

March 13, 2024Hi there, thank you for this great review! We're glad we were able to provide comfort during a challening time. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance!
My loved one was previously a resident at Karcher Estates and she didn't like it there. She found the staff to be quite mean. She said she was getting scolded quite often and that they were resistant to provide actual assistance. She is now in a different facility and is as happy as a clam.

This is the only place I lookedin Nampa that is totally independent. All others were assisted living the residents are really nice and I have a full kitchen. I took a 2 bedroom 2 bath apt. I have my own washer and dryer a nice patio with privaciy cost is about what an assisted living would be.

May 17, 2023Hi there, thank you for this great review! We're so happy that our team and our community have made sych a good impression on you! Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.
The community was very welcoming and friendly. There are some spots in the hallways that need carpet repair, which makes wheelchair life a little difficult. We picked this community, because there were only two openings when I was looking. This one was the closest to my home.

All they care about it is the $$$$. Food was bad, "care" was definitely less than, bedsores in less than 30 days of being there, and trying to deal with admin or billing is a joke. A couple of the nurses were friendly but that was the only good thing we could say about this place.

July 28, 2022Hi there, we would like to hear more about your experience. If you could please respond with more details about where you stayed in our community, or reach out to us directly by phone, we would welcome the opportunity to discuss further.
A very clean community with happy, friendly residents. The staff cares so much for everyone - working so hard to make sure folks feel safe, welcomed, comfortable and cared for. Many of the staff , from the community director, [name removed], to the front desk and kitchen staff are quite frankly angels walking on earth. They have made this move so incredibly easy!

March 3, 2022Hi Donald, thank you so much for this nice review. We're glad your father is enjoying it here - we love having him and he is a cherished member of our community. Please let us know if there's anything you need!
Staff is caring, residents are treated with respect, activities are amazing.
Karcher Estates went above and beyond trying to make the move and process as easy as possible for my dad, the amenities are grat with lots of activities for the residents.
Staff is caring, residents are treated with respect , activities are amazing.
The community had really nice staff it was just not what we were looking for. It was not very clean and it was understaffed. Just not the care that was necessary for this type of living facility.
1 star is generous but didn’t have a choice. Horrible place for any human being to ever be at. Continuity of care is non existent. Nurses and CNAs treat the residents horribly. They do not provide medical equipment to residents like they are supposed to. Management is a joke, all they care about is money. If you’re in the healthcare field and your family member is there they will try to kick them out to cover up the wrong they are doing. The building doesn’t provide enough supplies for CNAs to properly take care of the residents. A CNA was put in the social worker position with no license and telling everyone she is the social worker. She is not licensed at all and has no idea what she is talking about when she calls family members on the phone. This place needs to be shut down.
Read MoreWe chose Karcher Esattes because my mom and aunt wanted the 2 bedroom apartment option and it was one of the only places that offered that. The staff members are extremely friendly and helpful. The intake gal is a peach. Back in October, she came out to my moms house and sat down with us and brought all the pictures and brochures and showed us a slideshow. She made such an impression on my mom and aunt that they could not imagine going some place else without her there. They just started a couple of activities last week and she said she is really enjoying them. The reason the lower score is on the food is because they do not have a lot of variety and it is a lot of the same things served. Overall, I would absolutely recommend them to others looking.

If you love your family don’t use this company. It’s made very clear that they could care less about dignity, care, respect. All about the Benjamin’s with these people.

No continuity of care. The patient did not receive medication needed throughout the weekend because arrangements were not made and nobody bothered to talk to the physician. Doctor appointments had to be rescheduled because transportation was ignored. The excuse was the person in charge was new and patient just had to deal with it. The patient couldn't sit because of the injury, the transportation ordered was a wheel-chair transport. I really hope this place isn't around if I ever need care.
