I was horrified by some of the latest reviews. Not true. This was my Moms last home. 5 Stars Staff always Lovely to her. Housekeeping made Moms place so clean and always made her bed each week with fresh sheets. Chef Chloe always delivered amazing dinners-LOTS Too, My Mom actually got healthier being at Orchard Crest and gained weight. Great Activities always. We always appreciated Jacki's attention to detail and take care attitude and made the move from her home to OC with less tears. However, Cancer took Mom, but since then I come to OC frequently to look after Clients and I reccommend to all my Medicare Clients almost... sometimes on a weekly basis to please go see Jacki and Orchard Crest! It's an awesome place to call home and the residents are EXCEPTIONAL!

My parents lived at Orchard Crest for about 2.5 years. While the furnishings are dated, the staff is wonderful and caring. They help build community for and with the residents. The transfer from independent living to assisted living was seamless and my father was able to remain in his independent living unit until he passed. The med team was amazing, compassionate and took the time to learn about my parents. I highly recommend Orchard Crest Independent and Assisted Living Community.

I recently returned to Spokane and have spent time at Orchard Crest Retirement visiting my Grandma. A weight was lifted off my chest when I saw all the staff interacting with my Grandma and other residents. The employees at Orchard Crest Retirement are wonderful people. Brianna (Bri) was especially sweet when interacting with my Grandma Bertie. It filled my heart with peace and joy. You guys deserve ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!! Thank you!!!!
