My Fiancé and I just joined the management team here at Salmon Creek. I have personally worked with the company for 10+ years for a good reason, they take care of our family (the residents). The caring passionate nature that is shown on a daily basis by the staff and owners is personable and comforting. These residents are the reason that we are here. With 77 buildings across the US and a few in Canada, all operating at the same level of care, i wouldn't want to work for any other company.

My fiance and I are the new assistant manager team at Salmon Creek, I must say, this is thee most fulfilling job I've ever had. We have felt welcome from day one, we've been here for a little over a month and have grown to love the residents, they have all been so kind, and they have such wonderful stories to tell.
I lived at Salmon Creek in Boise for 7 months and my sons wanted me to move closer to one of them. That was the biggest mistake. The independent living facility in Ogden Utah was an absolute dump and there were no repairs done to my apartment. There was no lock on my living room window, the kitchen sink dripped nonstop and my family had to replace the shower head. The food was awful and there were a couple times they had an “issue” with kitchen staff and the residents were served grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch. There were no activities at all. I lasted 6 months in Ogden and I moved back to Salmon Creek where I have no blood family in town but I have all my family of friends. I really missed the staff and residents and I am back “home”. The apartment is wonderful, the food and kitchen staff is outstanding and there is always activities going on. Thank you Jon and Jenn and Janet and Clifford for welcoming me back “home”.
I helped move a client and good friend here recently and I’d be lying if I didn’t say I’d like to live there myself! The cost, while outwardly seeming a bit much, is actually VERY good and WAY less than my client/friend was paying with the mortgage, utilities, grocery bill, transportation, etc. Although there is no security other than the outer doors locking at like 8:30pm each night, I do feel like it is a secure, safe, stimulating environment for yourself or a loved one. Because the units are apartments, you can go down to any/all of the multiple course style served meals, cook in the little apartment kitchenette, or even go to the community full kitchen for residents (full range, oven, etc versus the microwave, toaster over, coffee pots, electric kettles, or air fryer you may have in your kitchenette—no range, oven, or hot plates in the apartments) if you want to bake something or grab a sandwich, green salad, variety of pasta/potato/macaroni salads, fruit cup, whole fruit pieces, boiled eggs, cheese cubes or sticks, or whatever snack/bistro/deli type foods they have available in the community fridge daily. You can also keep to yourself as you would in any other apt complex or get involved and meet people and keep busy. It definitely allows for you, as the resident, to decide your level of community involvement. I also cannot say enough great things about Janet, Cliff, and Ryan in the front office, Sean (or Shawn?? Sorry, friend!) in Maintenance, and all the kitchen and serving staff in the dining area. Each of all those people endeavor to be kind, welcoming, and helpful as well as knowing the resident’s name, their food preferences in the dining area, and are just fabulous in general. If I had to make one complaint, it would simply that they need a second (and probably third) elevator. There is only ONE for all three floors of residents.
Over the past year, I have "checked out" Boise retirement centers on a casual, pre-planning basis. Getting down to the serious stage of selling our place and moving, I sent out requests for contact with specific centers. I hardly had time to put the period on my last sentence before Ryan Serrera was returning my call. That man is fireball! It must be that Ryan believes he has the best, and wants to share it! Before I knew it, we were talking at my dining room table, and he was doing just that - sharing a flawless Salmon Creek lunch and information that was too good to ignore. A short time later, my son and I met Ryan for a preview visit at Salmon Creek Gracious Retirement Living. The first feeling I had was warmth. A very nice lady welcomed us, and then Ryan took us on a tour. I felt so much comfort and like I was at home. No kidding, as I met some residents who were kind enough to take time for a visit, I really didn't want to leave. There is a feeling of belonging at Salmon Creek. Belonging in the way you do at home. Everything from the foyer to the apartments, the optional exercise room, residents' kitchen, library, dining and kitchen...even an outdoor gardening area...everything is open, fresh, clean to a fault, and oh so friendly. Security and emergency measures are in place, and I know I won't have a worry in the world, living in this wonderful "home". Thanks, Ryan, for caring so much. You are meant for this endeavor. You're definitely the right person in the right place, and I am looking forward to being able to say "Hi, Ryan!" when I'm sitting down to one of those delightful meals in my new home. Dianne Brack
