The 5 Best Nursing Homes in Coeur D Alene, ID for 2024

Coeur d’Alene is the Idaho panhandle’s largest city but is home to only slightly over 50,000 residents, offering retirees the comfort of laid-back city living. Scenic views of Lake Coeur d’Alene and the area’s forested mountains can be enjoyed from almost anywhere in the city, especially from resorts, downtown beaches and ADA-accessible parks along the North Idaho Centennial Trail. Close to 17% of the city’s population is 65 and older, and those seniors have access to quality health care services from Kootenai Health, a Mayo Clinic Care Network member. The Lake City is also conveniently close to Spokane, Washington, with a very short commute time of around 18 minutes.

CDA’s overall cost of living is relatively affordable except for housing; its senior care costs are notably above the national averages. Nursing home care is considered expensive at $8,638 per month, a significant bump over the U.S. median of $7,756. The high pricing in nursing homes is due to the intermediate care they provide, particularly for those who require 24-hour skilled nursing services. Assisted living and home health care are alternative noninstitutional care options for seniors who may only need intermittent nursing care.

This guide discusses cost comparisons for nursing home care and other senior care options in Coeur d’Alene. A list of free resources is also provided to help seniors with making long-term care choices.
