Salmon Creek

I read these reviews from awhile back, and boy things have changed. I have lived here for about 4 years. About a year ago when the finally put real managers in here thing start to improve pretty quickly. The cook they had that was doing most of the horrible meals lasted about a month longer and was asked to leave, sometimes things still take awhile to get done but we are not forgotten and updated on any progress we need. We can always approach the managers and not have to worry about being treated like little kids, we did just lose our wonderful assistant managers who got promoted and went to California. this is where I will spend the rest of my life, it has become a wonderful place to be.

This rating if for food only. I can only say one thing....terrible. It is obvious that they are cutting costs through the food.

If you are considering retirement living for you or a loved one, ASK THIS IMPORTANT QUESTION. "If my loved one dies or becomes acutely ill and must move immediately, will your 30 day notice to vacate be enforced?" In nearly all senior living settings the contract stipulates a 30 day notice to vacate. At Salmon Creek Retirement Living, Boise, this stipulation is applied even in the event of death or acute sudden illness necessitating a move. At move in, my mother was also charged a security deposit of $1045. My mother's SECURITY DEPOSIT of $1045.00 was ARBITRARILY applied to the 30 day notice to vacate. My mother sustained serious pelvic and hip injuries, was in the hospital for nearly a month, and COULD NOT RETURN to Salmon Creek but the 30 day notice to vacate was enforced and her security deposit of $1045 was CONFISCATED AND ARBITRARILY retained by Salmon Creek. There are a lot of pitfalls and unknowns when you care for a senior loved one. ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS UPFRONT AND AVOID UNEXPECTED EXPENSES LATER.
