Bestland Retirement sits at 606 E Best Ave in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, and has 78 independent living apartments with a range of floorplans like Studio, 1x1 Cedar, Big Basin, Pheasant Ridge, Eagle Ridge, Summit, and more, so residents can pick from studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom layouts, each with private baths and options for kitchenettes, full kitchens, and features like private balconies or patios. Residents get flexible month-to-month leases, meals included with rent, expanded cable TV, and all utilities except telephone, which means living here can be easy and straightforward without surprise bills. Residents can bring their pets-there's a no-fee pet policy-and they'll find both indoor and outdoor common areas for mingling, walking, and relaxing, plus a beautiful garden courtyard, a craft room for baking, a conference room for veteran's events, a reading room, and a fitness center with regular exercise programs so physical wellness gets attention too. The friendly staff, on-site nurses, doctors on call, and caregivers through A Full Life Agency look after health needs, and residents can get support like memory care, assisted living, help with bathing or medication, and aging in place, plus home care delivered in their apartment for extra companionship or non-medical help. There's a free personal shopping service, weekly housekeeping, laundry rooms, private parking with covered carports for a small fee, and scheduled rides to doctors or stores-meals are chef-prepared for good taste and health, with a private dining room and a general store on the property. Safety's important here, so there's 24-hour emergency and security staff, with units designed for accessibility, including wheelchair showers, and rules for no indoor smoking. Residents can decorate their suites, join creative, social, and wellness activities, and take part in guided outings or on-site devotional services, all included in rental options starting as low as $1150 per month. Bestland Retirement aims to offer comfort, support, and friendly Idaho hospitality in an affordable, home-like atmosphere where seniors can personalize their space, keep their independence, and spend time with others.
Friendly staff, homey, safety concerns
I've had a mixed experience. The staff are outstanding-friendly, caring and communicative-and the meals (three a day with choices), activities, free personal laundry, Wi-Fi/cable, pets and parking make it affordable and homey. That said, it's an older building with uneven upkeep: some areas are well kept but others show dirty carpets, debris, unclean elevators, poorly maintained grounds and dim, hazardous parking; I've also heard reports of cold food and infection-control lapses. If you value excellent staff, activities and low cost it can work, but I wouldn't recommend it if you need modern, spotless facilities and strong safety controls.
