Review for Salmon Creek

It is light and bright. They enjoy all the food choices. They have plenty of activities. Salon on site has been nice. My dad enjoys the ice cream machine. The down side is only one elevator for the whole complex. They handyman is very busy and it takes a while to get things fixed. Lunch can take an hour to get served. I would recommend it. The cost was a big factor. I like the assisted part of it is as needed instead of paying for it monthly whether you need it or not

Make sure you understand that this is independent living, not assisted living. The studio apartment I had was nice, but the services did not fit my needs. Turns out I needed assisted living.

Lovely place

The staff here are truly exceptional. From management to the kitchen team to the serving staff, every single person is attentive, friendly, and clearly committed to creating a welcoming environment. Their professionalism is matched by a genuine warmth that makes a real difference day to day. I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know several people here, and the sense of community is something special. The connections I’ve made have been incredibly enjoyable, and there’s a real feeling of belonging. This is a wonde

I definitely recommend Salmon Creek

If I could rate higher, I would. For instance, the whole company, nationwide, awarded the kitchen staff as the top achiever for quality & cleanliness. Also, the staff is personally interested in the residents, working constantly for our comfort, safety, and personal concerns. I could not wish for more friendly, caring or dedicated staff, from the administrative office, to the kitchen and the housekeeping.
