Salmon Creek
The staff has been amazing, very welcoming to my mother and helping her get to know their other residents. The food is delicious as I ate many meals with her while I was getting moved in and selling her house. Highly recommend!

Salmon Creek won me over by the longevity of the staff. Housekeepers have been working with the facility for 2.5 - 7 years. They must be doing something right to keep their staff. Managers transferred from another facility. But they too have been with them a long time. When I came to the dining room, it was abuzz with laughter and conversations. A place I wanted to be a part of.

Very good and could get better when they bring a Physical Therapist aboard. I have no problem recommending Salmon Creek as a living center. We were in [community removed] for 21 months, and I visited several others before selecting Salmon Creek. The food is much better, you have some control on what, when, and where you eat , shave and shower. Salmon Creek has much more activities, furnish transportation for shopping, Dr. Appointments. Weekly trips for recreation. A Physical Therapist, at about one half the cost of [community removed] was not an assisted living facility, it was denial and refusal with the resident to aid at 35 to one. I have documentation showing unbelievable mis management, and would be more than happy to share with you.

At my first visit to Salmon Creek Gracious Retirement Living, there was a feeling of 'coming home'. And it was not my imagination! Oh, I was impressed that the atmosphere was friendly, warm, even cozy. The furnishings were comfortable, dining room beautifully designed and arranged. There was no 'cafeteria' line, but instead lovely tables perfectly set for service , as in restaurants. Then, too, the kitchen was spotless, activity rooms clean and well cared for, 24/7 snacks , coffee, tea & fresh fruits. A posted calendar of events showed entertainers, activities, outings, various denominations of religious meetings, and that was only the start. A salon, fitness center, library, multiple laundry centers, TV room, tables for card games & puzzles, even a pool table & chess center, and a stocked kitchen for the use of residents...all available! Perhaps the best of all was the feeling of being welcome. Every person I met was smiling, friendly and helpful. When I left that initial visit, I didn't want to leave at all. With medical services only minutes away, and all emergency preparations in place , I was convinced this was the place I wanted to be. As life does, many events occurred which postponed my moving into Salmon Creek. Several months passed before it actually happened. But nothing at Salmon Creek was different. I've been here several months now, and every day is just as comfortable, welcoming, friendly, and interesting as the first visit. I feel so at home here. The staff is hard at work keeping our home operating safely & efficiently. They are truly our friends and see to our every need. I've made several friends already. If I ever feel bored, it would be my own fault. I plan to stay right here enjoying life and many new opportunities. Thank you Salmon Creek! Residents here at Salmon Creek have, included with the rental agreement a choice of many apartments with outdoor patio or balcony. We are able to have rooms cleaned free of charge, once a week. Three meals each day are served free of charge. And, there are several raised garden beds that can be used for growing flowers or veggies, as we wish!

We love Salmon Creek! The staff is very engaged with the residents. They really care about their well-being on an individual basis. My mom has plenty of room in a studio sized apartment. The dining room is beautiful and always clean.

Salmon Creek was great the food good and I would recommend that place to anyone. I left the area because of the cold weather. I live in a nicer place that cost less money here in AZ that has more activities that I enjoy to do. My problem with Salmon Creek place was the laundry was difficult for me to do so I had to pay someone to do it. Here I have a washer and dryer in my apartment.

They listened to what you had to say and checked it out and replied accordingly. The residents all seemed very happy from our first visit.

The atmosphere is very bright and inviting. Resident are friendly. Staff are helpful. They could improve on the food by buying more quality meats. I also think sometimes the presentation could be better. They really do pretty well for the most part!

The staff are all upbeat and accommodating from the managers all the way down to the housekeeping / maintenance staff. Love all the on-site amenities. The physical therapist is busy all day helping residents stay strong or overcome injuries. The meals are 5-star, in my opinion. There's loads of activities and the weekly group outings go to some fabulous places. All this is evident by observing how happy all the residents are every day. I will be living there when it's my time to stop living in my home.

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 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!

I really liked the community and I was thinking about going. The location was not convenient to my doctors and everything else that was close to where I was living at the time.

My loved one moved out of this facility. A big reason for moving out was the kitchen, there was no cook-top and it was small.

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.

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.

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.
