“Overall, very good. I was in for 12 days. I had previously been in Intermountain for 4 days, St. Al's for 6, and after to Cottonwood Creek for four days. Lifeways is mostly my favorite. Though not perfect. Two things I did not much like though.. the psych docs and social workers were overly pushy about me staying as long as I did. I was a voluntary commit, and they still were very persuasive about keeping me a long time.. I have mixed feelings about that. The only other thing i really didn't like was the bed. The mattress was very old and crushed in, on top of a slab of wood, not a box spring. I have back problems, and this mattress would not do. I asked for pillows, and was lucky they could spare 3 that I could put under my mattress. Two would have not been enough. Other than that, pretty much everything and everyone except one of the docs and one of the NP's or PA's, was good to great. And the food, which was at times just adequate, but other times good. The nurses were very compassionate. Wonderful people. The psych techs were all really great too. I even sent a thank you card to the day and night crews. They were awesome. Another great thing unique to Lifeways is the smoke breaks. Even those who don't smoke can go outside something like ten times a day. I was out there 8 times per day, walking around the yard, sometimes shooting baskets, sitting in the sun. Great! I was not there during the summer though. St. Al's,, I got outside once. Just grass in the yard. Intermountain let us out at least once per day. Basketball hoop, room to throw a football. Cottonwood Creek, not always allowed outside once per day, because in July it is too hot for the staff, apparently. I would have gone outside, but oh well. Yard nice to walk in, though no hoop if I remember correctly. What's also great at Lifeways.. more groups, including useful groups like exercise - chair yoga and tai chi, more groups to go to, including at least one in the evening, which means less time to pass. Less groups at the other facilities. And another awesome thing.. Each patient gets his or her own room! No snoring, difficult roommates! How did I get into Lifeways? While in the St. Luke's ER as a voluntary commit, I called Lifeways to ask if they had beds. They did, and said they would send over info to St. Luke's. Politely advocate for yourself while in the ER. Try to get in where you want to go. The day room is pleasant enough. Comfortable couches, Netflix on a big TV, Good chairs at the table. And, while I was there, a beat up elliptical machine, which broke while I was on it, and a gazelle exercise machine, which was quite squeaky and annoyed other patients, but worked fine otherwise. I was very grateful for the exercise equipment I could use whenever. After unfortunately having been in all four mental hospitals this year, I'd say Lifeways is the best, except that I have mixed feelings on letting myself be talked into about staying so long. Not sure if I should deduct a star for that, because I'm not sure if they were right to want to keep me. If not for that, the really bad bed, and the possibility of ECT (which I have as of yet not tried, and might not) at Cottonwood, I would have gone into Lifeways again. I ride by there a lot, since I drive on Northview, and sometimes go to church across the street, and almost miss being inside there. So.. of the four.. Lifeways was best. Cottonwood Creek, 2nd.. wonderful staff, except a doctor I didn't care for, great facilities, good to great food, only one roommate. It's really difficult choice between the other facilities. St. Al's had great staff, the best food, and great facilities, but 3 to 4 people in a room, and the hardcore schizophrenics in with much more mild people instead of being in a separate wing.. not good! Intermountain.. woebegone old furniture in the small day room. Very uncomfortable chairs at the table. Worst food of the four. But a mostly great staff, and only one roommate. So that was good. All 4 had mostly great staff,. Hope this review helps!”

“The cryotherapy and other treatments at Active Health & Wellness Boise has really helped me through a bulged disk with pinched nerve. I was able to be back on my feet in a shorter that normal time with no use of steriods or drugs! Thank you Dr. Watson & great staff!”

“The clinic has a high capacity of clients and physician schedules are PACKED, so keep this in mind if you have little ones that often get sick and can’t wait a week + to be seen. However, interpreters are provided if need, (when requested in advance.) Front desk staff is quick and prompt, they’ll call you when there’s cancellation or rescheduling so don’t be discouraged by an appointment that’s too far. Dr. G is also very kind and patient and takes the time to answer questions and explain things. She’s in Monday’s and Tuesday’s if you can fit on her schedule! Besides the issues listed above, I’d recommend this to clients, friends and family.”
