Review

Welcov Assisted Living at Kalispell received high praise from visitors who were impressed with its beautiful and elegant ambiance. Despite the positive experience, they had to look for another facility for their friend due to the strict no-animal policy. The staff at Welcov was described as accommodating and friendly, while the rooms were deemed nice but on the smaller side. One notable mention was the miniature refrigerators in each room, which some found too small.

Despite these minor drawbacks, the reviewer expressed their love for Welcov Assisted Living. They particularly appreciated that all the units were private one-bedroom or studio-style rooms. Additionally, they highlighted the simplicity of having only one floor and lauded the fact that the owners themselves were present on site. Meeting one of the owners, who happened to be a registered nurse, left a significant impression as it indicated a personal investment in residents' well-being.

The reviewer's initial visit left them with an overall positive impression of Welcov Assisted Living. It did not resemble a hospital or traditional nursing home environment; instead, it exuded freshness and modernity through its decor colors. They noted that outside areas were well-maintained and furnished with several seating options, providing residents with pleasant outdoor retreats. The facility's atmosphere was described as "homey," implying comfort and familiarity.

The independence enjoyed by residents at Welcov Assisted Living was praised by the reviewer, who observed numerous activities designed to keep them engaged and occupied. On their visit, Bingo appeared to be a popular choice among residents. Furthermore, it was mentioned that shuttle services were available for residents to run errands independently—a convenience that added value to their living arrangements.

While most nurses were commended for their friendliness and professionalism, there seemed to be variations in attitudes among certain individuals towards visitors. Although there was no direct experience mentioned regarding meals at Welcov Assisted Living, it was stated that decent smells emanated from the dining area. Overall, the reviewer acknowledged that assisted living facilities can often be depressing and lackluster, but Welcov seemed to make significant efforts to create a happy and positive environment for its residents.
