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.

My friend has lived here 5 years and is always happy with her choice.
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.

Loving life at Salmon Creek Gracious Living
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.

My Experience
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.

A Place for Mom has scored Salmon Creek 9.2 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.   We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.   Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
