Benefits Of Assisted Living
1. Transportation services
At some point, owning a vehicle is just too much of a hassle. Our assisted living community offers reliable transportation to local shopping, events, and doctor appointments. Trusted transport gets residents where they need to go precisely when they need to go, and on time.
2. Healthier, happier future
Moving into assisted living is a move into a lifestyle that promotes healthy senior living, and opens up many options for the future. Each resident has a custom care plan regularly evaluated by our medical team. If needs should change over time, we see it as it happens, resulting in early diagnosis and, inevitably, better treatment options for the future.
3. Peace of mind
The things we do and how we work together create the ultimate and most important benefit – peace of mind. Friends and family of residents can rest easy, knowing their loved one is well cared for in a home-like environment. Our residents themselves rest at ease knowing that they have the support they need available for them every day.
4. Prevents social isolation
Seniors living at home alone are at a higher risk for social isolation and increased feelings of loneliness and depression. At our community, our residents live in a dynamic community environment with friends and staff who encourage participation in events and socialization. It is an excellent opportunity for residents to make new friends, get to know the staff, and feel connected to a larger community of people in the same chapter of life.
5. 24/7 compassionate care
Residents in our community receive personalized care to ensure that all their needs are being met. Our staff members are well-trained to provide the attention and care that our residents need with compassion.
6. A focus on independence and fun
While our community is a great place to receive care, we place a big emphasis on independence and fun. We know that fun is an essential part of aging gracefully, and our community has a variety of fun activities.
7. Free time
It’s due time to put aside the housework, yard work, and home maintenance. There is no more shoveling the snow, mowing the lawn, or repairing the house. Enjoy hassle-free senior care where you don’t have to worry about the cleaning or the cooking anymore. It’s our pleasure to do the work for each of our residents, allowing them to find a hobby or invest more time into a lifelong interest.
8. Delicious dining
Healthy residents are happy residents, and the meals served at our community are specifically created to benefit senior health. Cooking for yourself can be challenging, especially if you are alone. With nutritious meals prepared by our chefs, residents in our community enjoy delicious meals packed with nutrients. Our elegant dining room encourages mealtimes with friends, making each meal more than "just a meal", but a social event.
Share A Meal With Us
We take great pride in our dining program at Avista Senior Living Payson.
Our Dining Services Executive Director and Head Chef lead trained team members who not only enjoy culinary arts and service, but love to serve our residents. They provide several delicious meals throughout the day. Our team can accommodate specific dietary needs, and our servers deliver a smile to each table. Whether it’s a made-to-order breakfast or the many options offered daily, variety is readily available.
Our residents look forward to each meal not only for the delicious food but for the time to gather with friends. We love having family, and friends join us any day and especially on festive occasions such as birthdays, Thanksgiving, Mother’s or Father’s Day, etc. Prospective residents are invited to enjoy a complimentary meal when they come for a visit of any of our Avista communities, including our other memory care, independent living, and senior living options.

Testimonials
Ann C
Exceptionally kind staff. My parents have lived there over a year and they feel like family. They are very caring, organized and efficient. My step dad recently passed and my mom does not want to move because of the compassionate care of the staff and the friends she has made.
Scott B
My mother was a resident here. While she was there our family was pleased with the care she received from all of the staff. They are genuinely honest and caring people who seem to enjoy their work and they do it well.
Laura M
Super nice place to have your loved one cared for! Staff is caring, attentive & they go out of their way to make your family member feel right at home!!
Tom B
Great environment and friendly staff.
Linda Y
I highly recommend this community. My Mom has been a residence for a year and a half. The staff and caregivers are amazing!!They look after her along with being her caring friend. There are fun activities and gatherings, lots of hugs. I feel very lucky and blessed to have Mom in such a wonderful place.
Nana K
First of all I would like to say that this place is just what Mom needed. Mom wasn’t doing as well as she could have been living at home by herself. She has neuropathy which can make it unbearable to walk and she also suffers from congestive heart failure. When Mom decided it was time for assistance, we took a tour and SHE decided this was the place to be. We purchased a mobility wheelchair so that she could go anywhere she wanted to and now she has the freedom to even enjoy evenings on the patio! Another factor in choosing this community is that Mom was able to bring her two furry companions with her. I cannot say enough about the caring, attentive staff here. Everyone is so friendly and compassionate. Mom has been here 14 months as of today and she is thriving in this community.

My father-in-law is a resident here and doing very well. They offer activities and encourage him to join in. The staff seems to care an awfully lot about the residents. I would absolutely recommend.
John H
4 to 5 months ago I had my loved one here. The care was so amazing. Jessica was the best help and the most caring person. I needed furniture for the room and Jessica helped go out and buy some. Chelsea the activities director had something going on everyday. One 4th of July I came to visit and a storm was coming and it started to rain. Chelsea noticed my window was opened and offered to roll them up for me. I gave her my keys and she closed the windows but she was soaking wet after coming from outside. I was so impressed with how much they care here! We had the best experience!
Loved one of a resident
My mother is doing well at this community and I am pleased. They are caring for her very well. I do not live in the same state, they have really given me a peace of mind knowing she is safe. The community looks great, they keep everything very clean. The staff has been good. She is trying some new activities. Out of all the places I looked at, this was one of the best.
Jeff C
My mother resided in this community from May 2014 through December 2014. I won’t call this a facility because a facility does not provide the attention and personal care that is available here. This is indeed a community of caring providers. During this time the staff provided my mother with loving care and attention. They flawlessly supervised her many medications and attended doctor visits with her. She was provided with healthy, attractive, well balanced meals and they did everything possible to make her comfortable. The staff not only provided high end care, but this care was provided with a personal interest and love not found in other “facilities”. Russ, Jessica, and Kelly are without a doubt the “Dream Team” that makes it happen with the love and attention that our loved ones deserve. 5 stars all the way!!!
Samuel
I was overly impressed with not only the knowledge, experience and education of the staff, but most importantly the compassion of the staff. They won me over when I toured the house for my mother. My mom is truly happy now. At first, she was hesitant to move into an assisted living facility, but now shew loves it there. She stays so busy I hardly get my calls answered or responses to my emails. And yes, this is a GREAT thing. She is living again! Thank you, wholeheartedly, to all the staff there.
