Glad I chose Salmon Creek

I am very happy to call Salmon Creek Retirement Community my home. What I appreciate most about living here is the sense of community. There are so many opportunities to meet people, make friends, participate in activities, and—if you’re inclined—create something new yourself. I’ve particularly enjoyed being involved in programs that bring residents together for movies, social gatherings, and interesting conversations. The staff members are caring and work hard to make Salmon Creek a comfortable and welcoming place to live. Just as important are the residents themselves. We look out for one another, share plenty of laughter, and have created a real community. For me, Salmon Creek isn’t simply a place to live. It’s home—and I’m very glad I chose it.

I toured this lovely facility with [name removed], who displays obvious pride in his building and the myriad of positives it offers. The building is spotless, staff and residents were friendly. There are robust activities and services offered… including transportation for personal errands, an on site salon, bed and bath linens laundered for residents, a chapel and the list goes on. I think it will be a perfect choice for my mom to both support her and challenge her to stay active and grow

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 wonderfully “alive” place—there’s always something going on, and the interactions among tenants create an engaging, vibrant atmosphere that’s hard to find elsewhere. Maintenance is equally outstanding. Whenever I’ve needed assistance, the response has been prompt and reliable. It’s clear that care and responsiveness are a priority here. There’s almost always a game to be enjoyed. Whether it’s a round of cards, Rummikub, canasta, or bingo, there’s a wonderful variety of activities that bring people together. These moments add so much fun and camaraderie to daily life and are a big part of what makes this community feel so lively and connected. Overall, this is a place where people truly go above and beyond, and it shows in every aspect of the experience.

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.

Nice place, horrible food!

My mom has lived there for 3 years & likes it except the food has become literally inedible at the same time they raised the rent! We had to start buying her own food even though we have to pay for her meals because she started losing so much weight. It’s so sad because it ruins what is often the highlight of their day & not worth keeping her there.

I have a dear friend living here. She is always treated with respect. The staff is always friendly,clean and caring.. The meals are always presented well. The food is fresh,plentiful, attractive and well balanced. The residents are offered to take more back to their rooms to snack on. If you are looking for independent senior living I highly recommend you check this place out. I am very impressed.

Review for Salmon Creek

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.

Review for Salmon Creek

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.

.Even Better Than I Expected

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!

Would recommend you check this place out.

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.
