Types of care available in Idaho Falls, ID
After three months of in home and hospice care from Hands of Hope and family members, we were unable to care for our Dad in his home environment. We had to make the difficult decision to looked at facilities in the area to place him in. We as a family felt most impressed with Lilly and Syringa. They have two homes sitting side by side with a shared yard and patio between & behind the buildings. This gives it a homey feeling. Residence can sit around a single dining table and in a main room to watch television together. Since Lilly and Syringa is overseen by the same qualified administrator as Hand of Hope hospice, our transfer to the care center was seamless and easeful. Dad’s care continued with the same fine CNAs and nurses that were already seeing him, and we feel deeply grateful for their impeccable care. As I sat with my Dad for hours in Lilly and Syringa, they did everything to be sure that I and my daughter felt at home and were comfortable. This care center goes “the extra mile” to create an atmosphere that creates dignity and qualified compassionate care for those living there. Thank you for making a difficult situation as comfortable as possible. Our family will be forever grateful.
We picked this place because of the good, caring people here. They provide thoughtful care and really care about the residents. The building is not fancy looking; it is a pretty average looking community. The staff have been good to work with. They really takes the time to care for my mother and her needs. My father says the food is nice, and the meals are good. They are caring for my mother very well and that is why I would recommend it.
We were happy with everything except that they were short staffed but that is kind of happening everywhere. There were a few issues but it was all due to short staffing they were doing all that they could for the residents. Once my loved ones diet got started everything was good. The meals were salty but once my loved one was on low sodium everything was fine.
