What to Consider About Assisted Living in Mountain Home

Mountain Home, the largest city in Elmore County, is where Idaho potatoes are grown, where blue-ribbon lakes are located and where air shows from the Mountain Home Air Force Base entertain residents of all ages. It is also home to three assisted living facilities for seniors. 

The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare regulates assisted living facilities (ALF) in Mountain Home, Idaho, as well as in the rest of the state. Idaho defines assisted living facilities, also known as residential care homes, as residential facilities that provide supervision, personal assistance, meals and lodging to at least three elderly adults who are not relatives of the facility owner. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Mountain Home

  • Mountain Home has a lower violent crime rate than Idaho as a whole, and it is also much lower than the national average. The chance of being a victim of violent crime is 1 in 629, compared to 1 in 434 for the whole of Idaho.

  • Mountain Home is home to world-class medical facilities, including St Luke's Elmore Medical Center , in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Mountain Home experiences more than 10 inches of snowfall in a typical year, which can make life difficult in winter for seniors who enjoy walking outdoors.

  • Idaho does not tax social security, which leaves seniors with more money in their budgets to pay for assisted living.
  • Public transportation in Mountain Home is provided by Treasure Valley Transit, a private non-profit community transit company. All buses are equipped with wheelchair lifts to help disabled seniors travel in comfort.

  • The Mountain Home Arts Council aims to educate, enrich and entertain the local community through a varied program of artistic and cultural activities. The organization promotes broad participation in the arts and offers many free events and outreach programs to include people of all ages.
