The Best Communities in Boise, ID

"Brookdale Boise Parkcenter Assisted Living is a very nice facility. It's close to where I live. My mom has a one-bedroom unit and the people are just very friendly and professional. They have activities, games, and transportation. They also provide all the meals, housekeeping, and laundry service."

"We toured Brookdale Boise Parkcenter Independent Living and the experience was very good. We're very impressed, the staff was very friendly, very efficient, and thorough. I liked the place. We looked at a cottage, it was very nice, and it was bigger than I expected. I believe it will accommodate our furniture and it's very comfortable. The staff was very helpful and very attentive, they knew what they were doing. We were able to have dinner there, and we also participated in one of their happy hours. Everyone was extremely friendly, so we felt very comfortable and welcome. The food was very good, and they have quite a variety of food. The facility was very clean and well-maintained, it was nice. There was no water damage anywhere, there was no dirt, and it was very clean."

"My husband is placed in Emerson House at River Pointe, and it's very nice. You walk into a nice living room-type setting and the care so far has been excellent. The staff has been awesome, they're wonderful. They have exercises of all kinds, arts and crafts, this morning they were having a coffee time with magazines. They have a time when they listen to the news. The dining area is great, they watch what the people need and they feed them according to what they need, like if they're diabetic. The dining room is clean, they get to sit at a round table where there are usually three to four of them that sit together. The reason we went there was that they had so many activities and they tried to keep the residents occupied."

"My father has moved into MorningStar of Boise. It's clean and they're friendly, and they have lots of amenities. The staff has been very nice, helpful, and eager to help. The activities seem great. He has a living room and a bedroom. It's everything he needs, it's clean and updated, and he has a full-sized fridge, which is nice."

"I visited Salmon Creek Gracious Retirement Living in Boise. It's an independent living community. They were good and friendly. They had meals on the table, and the food was great. The apartments were clean, and they had people cleaning up. The studio apartment that I looked at was pretty spacious, too. The people there were friendly, and they were greeting everybody. When they ate, they had places put out for people so they could sit down and eat meals with friends. It's a pretty good community."

"Revel Eagle is beautiful. It's fairly new. The common area is beautiful. They have a little cafe inside if you want to get snacks or drinks. Libraries, computers. People can use the exercise room. Pretty much all the things that they offer that you would want. They have a theater. The only negative thing I would say about it is that we only looked at two units because that's all they had available for us to look at, and they were very small. So that was kind of a turnoff for me because I want to be able to take some of my favorite pieces of furniture, stuff like that. So they just didn't have the room. But the other thing I liked about it is, and this is a thing that most of the older retirement homes do not do it this way, most of them you pay for your meals within your rent, and so you get three meals a day and you have to pay for those whether you're there eating or not. And my husband and I travel, and we have a lot of family here in Boise that we go to their homes for dinner. And I don't want to have to be paying for meals that I'm not eating. It also is located near the Boise River, which is a very pretty river, and it has a greenbelt, and walking paths along the river that you can get to very easily from the buildings. It's just a very short walk to the green belt too so you can go on walks along the river. So that's another nice feature of it. The other feature is it's very close to two very nice restaurants. You could walk to them. They also have a van, and I see the van a lot when I go to one of our main chain grocery stores. And they have a van that takes the people that live there to the grocery store. So if you don't drive and you don't have a car, the van will take you anywhere. There are also movie theaters nearby, lots of restaurants, and grocery shopping. I would highly recommend it."

"I toured Foxtail Senior Living. When I was there yesterday, the people there were having lunch. It was a restaurant-style environment. The people seemed like they were having a good time. They have an ice cream parlor where all-you-can-eat ice cream, fruit snacks, and stuff 24 hours a day for the residents. I thought that place was outstanding. I looked at two different kinds of rooms, their standard room and their deluxe standard room. I thought the standard room had a door that goes to the outside. So, they have a private patio out there. They had nice storage areas and cabinets inside the room. The bathrooms were very spacious and the walk-in showers. The deluxe did not have a door going outside, but it was much more spacious, and I thought they were both very nice rooms. It looks pretty new, and I think the upkeep and maintenance were very good."

"Sunny Ridge was great. Everybody that is my age or older needs to check into it. I checked out the menu. It looked very nutritious."

"We toured. We were impressed with their facility, and the man that gave us the introduction and took us through the facility did really well. The people that were working there all were smiling and enjoying doing what they were doing."

"My dad moved into Avista Nampa and he stayed there until his passing. We were very impressed with everything there. The help that they have, the management, they were excellent. They took great care of our dad. The facility is very clean. We had absolutely no complaints. They had a nice dining area. They had structured meals and had a place for people to gather at the tables. They've got a room where they can go and do crafts. They had people come in and kids were there."

"I toured. They have a library, an exercise room with some guidance from exercise directors, they have equipment there for exercising, a beauty shop, a greenhouse on the premises, which I was very interested in, card games, and puzzle tables on every floor. Anybody can put a puzzle up if they wish to. The room has a kitchen area, whether you get a one-bedroom or a two-bedroom. I haven't decided on that yet, but there was plenty of room for one or even two people. What I was excited about was the outdoor little patio area where you could go outside and have a table and sit and eat if you want to, or just have a cup of coffee, and it's screened as well so that you can leave a door open and get fresh air in, even if you stayed in your own house or apartment."

"Our experience with Autumn Wind in Caldwell, Idaho was excellent. From our first visit through the length of stay of our mother we felt welcomed and valued. The attention and care provided was beyond what we expected. Mom loved her room, her friends, her caregivers, the activities and the food. She was always clean, dressed and involved with activities and caregivers. At her passing the caregivers were attentive to her needs and extremely compassionate. We would highly recommend Autumn Wind in Caldwell, Idaho as an option for senior living and memory care needs."

"About 6 months ago I taught a middle school leadership class. I had the child write cards and pick flowers to bring the residents of the Life Care Center of Boise. When we arrived the facility appeared top-notch. The Children were nervous at first but once they started talking to the amazing residents they really started having a great time. A few of the residents started crying because they were so happy to have a visitor and someone to talk to. All in all it was an amazing experience for the students, the residents, and me as well. I absolutely recommend the Life Care Center of Boise, to care for your loved ones. "
