My Experience
The staff is friendly and extremely courteous. Housekeeping does a very good job however, for them to clean the sink, everything needs to be moved and the same as true for the kitchen sink area which is not a big deal. The move-in process was, of course, for me difficult. The food is mostly very good. And that depends on who is cooking. Based on my experience, which is very little, I feel safe here. I recommended others give serious consideration to moving here. One of the reasons is I do not have to pay for parking and other facilities it was $12-$25 to park in an open slot or a covered area. And this I object to if I am paying thousands a month for rent. And other place wanted $25-$75 for parking, here I don't pay for parking. Establishment wanted to put me on a food allowance, which amount to I use up so many points per meal and then after those points are used up I get to pay, I didn't care for that either. This is a good building, comfortable, housekeeping will change your linens if you use their linens and will give you fresh towels once a week if you requested. I like that however, I use my own linens and my own towels, I keep their towels as back up.

Salmon Creek has what I'm looking for...
Salmon Creek offered all the amenities I was looking for, Great food, Lots to do during the day, a trip somewhere great every week (Tamarack resort, rafting the river, wine tasting, etc.), the most caring staff in the business, and people living there that are so so friendly. These folks are great and the best part...they REALLY care!

Salmon Creek Review
We went with Salmon Creek primarily because the gentleman I was placing had some prior experience here knew someone who was already a resident, so he felt comfortable moving in and already knowing someone. The location is very convenient for us as well which has been nice. Overall the experience has been great and I would for sure recommend them.

Was not for me
I moved into a nice small apartment just before Christmas of 2019. Staff was nice. I met some great tesidents while there. This was not a good fit for me, as many
residents were not Independent physically and some were in different stages of Dementia or Alzheimers. I love all people, but I was not equipped for the things they did. Hated my dog to the point if being aggressive toward her and me. Also, a resident forgot anout her popcorn and a fire started downstairs and smoke traveled quickly to the upper 2 floors. Fortunately the fire was extinguished early and no one had to evacuate. There are 200 people ther and one small elevator that you aren’t supposed to use during fires. Huge staircase, BUT so many could not use them due to physical limitations. By the end of February I found an apartment nearby and was able to move out before the COVID lockdown.

good value for your money
The food is good and the staff is really friendly. Communication is good between the staff and me, they keep me informed and up to date. They have lots of activities but I would like to see more geared to men. I would recommend this community to others.

my review of salmon creek
The staff and management are nicer when you're looking into the facility than after you move in. The maintenance is very slow with in-room repairs and I have had to follow up several times
The room sizes are good, and the food is fine.
I would recommend this facility to others.

Terrible Food
You need to put a rating for food. If I did I would put 1 star. The food is terrible! When my mom was in the hospital, she mentioned where she lived and the doctor had heard many comments from people coming in from Salmon Creek on how awful the food is. It is very obvious that they are trying to cut corner with the food. If you think about it that’s a large portion of their day is sitting around the table conversing with one another and eating. What a disappointment. I love the people that live there, the people that clean the rooms, maintain the facility, etc. are wonderful.

30 Day Notice to Vacate and Your Security Deposit
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.

My opinion.
This is a beautiful clean community. The staff we met during our tour were nice. The food was excellent. The pricing , however did not fit what we were looking for. This community seemed a little more for high roller type residents.

Great Administration !!
My loved ones have been treated wonderfully at this community. The administration and maintenance staff have been extremely helpful to make sure my parents needs are met. The cleaning is taking care of every week, and the meals are great. I do wish they would add another elevator in the building to make things more convenient for the residents.

Looks like a very nice place, but my dad does not want apartment-style living right now. He is interested in a more house-like option, such as a leased patio home in a retirement community with optional assisted living care available.
