This place. We feel so blessed to have our mom here! We moved her here from a very nice assisted living in Meridian to try to cut costs a little bit and we’ve been SO impressed with how warm and inviting and caring everyone is here! We knew the new Director, Alicia, when she worked at a different facility and knew wherever she went, the culture there would be wonderful. We were right! From the kitchen staff, to the med-techs, to the nurses, to the administrative and maintenance staff…it’s just such a kind and loving environment and our mom absolutely loves living there! She’s so glad she moved! They have fun activities all the time and all of the residents seem to be happy and talk about how much they enjoy living there as well. If you’re thinking about moving a loved one into assisted-living I would definitely go by and get a tour of Avista in Nampa!
