Avista Senior Living Spokane sits in a quiet spot in Spokane, surrounded by lush greenery, Ponderosa pines, and a little forest right by the State Parks, making it a peaceful place where seniors can watch the birds, sit outside, and soak up the fresh air. This is a recently updated, single-story community, so there aren't any stairs or elevators to fuss with, and the hallways are easy to move through. It offers a wide range of care for seniors, whether they want to live on their own, need help now and then, or need memory care or skilled nursing, so people can move between levels of support as their needs change without leaving the community.
Avista has studio and one-bedroom apartments, each with kitchenettes, private bathrooms with wheelchair-friendly showers, big closets, carpeting, window treatments, and even built-in bookshelves for keepsakes. Some apartments have more than one bedroom, and all are kept comfortable with heating and air conditioning. The community allows pets, so residents can bring their dogs and cats. The staff is around 24 hours a day, and there's a registered nurse on site who manages medication, oversees care, and can help with diabetic and catheter care, plus the staff helps with things like bathing, getting dressed, medication reminders, and other daily needs, and they've got equipment like Hoyer lifts and sit-to-stand devices for folks with mobility problems. There's a 24-hour call system, safety pendants, smoke detectors, and sprinkler systems for safety, and monthly health checks to keep track of everyone's well-being.
Meals are served in restaurant-style dining rooms, with the chefs making sure to prepare tasty, well-balanced meals for different dietary wants and needs, and nobody has to worry about chores because housekeeping, laundry, linen service, and apartment maintenance are all provided. Residents can take part in social dining, outings for shopping and errands, and trips for walks and picnics around the neighborhood or to the mall, with transportation arranged by the community. There's a full calendar of recreational and social events, with things like bingo, arts and crafts, live music, Wii Bowling, tabletop games, Bible study, devotional services, church, happy hour, scenic drives, and community events like garage sales.
There are many places to relax and visit with friends and neighbors, with indoor common rooms, lounges, a library, a movie room, great rooms, and cozy sitting areas. Outside, residents can enjoy the covered patios, porches, and a big courtyard designed for outdoor activities and getting together. The salon and barber shop onsite let people get a haircut or a simple beauty service, and there's a dedicated activity room for crafts and gatherings.
Avista Senior Living Spokane helps seniors stay connected and engaged, with daily exercise like chair yoga, Qigong, and group classes, and staff encourages everyone to try new hobbies or keep up with old favorites. Outings and activities, both in the community and offsite, give people ways to connect with others, and there's a sense of support and friendship in the air, helped along by social clubs, community newsletters, and events for families. With all these services and a focus on personalized care plans, seniors get to enjoy a secure, friendly, home-like setting where they can keep their independence but get help when they need it, all while living in a bright, well-kept, and pet-friendly environment.
