We chose Affinity at Boise because of the value for the money. No others places that we looked into even compared, we were very surprised because it was a wonderful place. The apartment was good size, everything is pretty new and it had good lighting. I think the staff members and the residents are very friendly and helpful. There are a lot of common areas available for people who live here where you can go and hangout. He was on the floor that had a beauty salon and gym and it was all very convenient. The location of the facility itself is in a great spot, if you can still drive or walk it is close to local shopping. I would highly recommend to others looking.
I am happy with the community where my mom is living. She likes the staff that are very caring. The community is clean and maintained. She likes knowing that she can cook for herself. They have activities for the residents. We would highly recommend this community for other families for the good care and value.
I have been living here for 2 years and I absolutely love it here. I’ve made so many new friends and participate in so many activities. Everyone is fantastic from staff to residents. So many things to do! I never want to leave.
