Salmon Creek Gracious Retirement Living

In my search for an independent living facility in Boise Idaho, I had the good fortune to have Ryan Ferrara give me a tour at Salmon Creek Gracious Retirement Living on North Cloverdale Road. I visited 3 other facilities but Ryan stood out as being highly professional but he excels at connecting with people on a personal level and makes you instantly feel comfortable. Additionally, he showcases Salmon Creek's beautiful living amenities and safe environment. During the tour, he paused briefly throughout to acknowledge the residents, the housekeeping and food service staff who he treats like friends while introducing me to them as well. He was very attentive to me and didn't rush me through the tour while pointing out so many positive things throughout the residence. Ryan's personality sold me...he's kindhearted, has a delightful sense of humor, and makes a point of getting to know the individual prospective client rather than just going through a checklist of the property details. Ryan is an amazing asset for your company and I wanted you to know why! Employees like Ryan are why companies succeed where others fail because they don't have a "Ryan" in charge!

I’ve been privately assisting two residents at Salmon Creek for the past week, and I’m truly impressed by how delightful this community is. The residents, employees, and staff are all exceptionally kind, and there’s a warm, positive energy that’s hard to put into words. It’s something you really have to experience for yourself. The atmosphere is welcoming, the surroundings are clean and beautifully maintained, and it genuinely feels like a special place. If you know someone, or have a loved one, who is looking for independent living without the burden of cooking, laundry, or housekeeping, this is the perfect place for them. The facility offers a wide variety of engaging activities, along with transportation services and planned outings that keep residents active, social, and well cared for.

Salmon Creek has exceeded our expectations in every way. At our guest meal we witnessed about 80 people all engaged in conversation, laughter and high energy. This continues as we share meals with many of the residents. The meals are prepared by chefs and are exceptional in their quality and presentation. We appreciate the size of the servings. Portion controlled with a great balance of food groups, the kitchen produces a great balance of quality and quantity. And, you can order as much as you want. The staff is very good at being friendly, helpful and accomodating to our every need. It is such a warm and friendly experience when they remember our names, particular things we like and always served gracefully. In fact, they take the extra steps to set food down directly in front of each of us rather than reaching over anyone. Always serving one person at a time. It is doubly beneficial when they hire students from the high school across the street to work many of the meals. The students get to experience working with people of different generations and we get to be around bright young people. The rooms have been completely updated with flooring, walls, etc. before moving in so the unit is like brand new. And the maintenance staff keeps the whole place clean and well tended. Our activities director has a continuous array of events and activities that are easy to participate in for all levels of mobility. The special services of excursions, shopping trips and medical transportation is a blessing for all of us. My personal favorite is the pool table! I could say more about the benefits and features of Salmon Creek. It is the best thing we have done for ourselves. Thank you. Chuck and Liz Tate
