Nursing Home Communities in Meridian, ID

"My husband is in rehab at Valley View Nursing and Rehabilitation, and I think the floor he is on is for dementia patients. The place is kind of basic with large rooms that are big enough for a wheelchair to go through them. They have a TV, and the beds are comfortable. When you walk in the door, it feels comfortable. There's an ambiance about it that just makes you feel comfortable. I love the staff. They are caring, charismatic, and good with people who have dementia, which I was surprised about for a rehab. The dining area is fine. The only complaint I would have about the food is that he often gets his food cold, but it tastes fine. For activities, I know they offer bingo. They often have performers that come in in the afternoon. There's also movie nights and different things. My husband doesn't participate in much of it, but I do know that there are activities because they announce them on an intercom. They bring around the directory of what's happening, when, and where. It's expensive at $11,400 a month, but it's worth it if you can afford it."

"I had a grandmother that was at Cascadia of Nampa on a Medicare stay. The staff was very kind and caring. Food was good for a nursing home. Therapy department was above par. They worked hard to get my grandmother out in the limited time molina was willing to cover her. Cascadia of Nampa was very clean and without bad smell. The room was clean and well put together as grandma arrived in the facility. Anita enjoyed working with the activity department with coloring, diamond art, bingo and card games. One night they even had a large movie projector, and popcorn. Admin staff are knowledge in their career field. They went above and beyond to work with insurance to help my grandmother have a few extra days of rehab. I am grateful for the care provided to Anita and will be a return customer if the needs arises. Thank you Cascadia of Nampa."

"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. "

"If I could give a ZERO STAR for care I would. The staff is friendly and try to be helpful. But they are only "Johnny on the Spot" when you alert them about something, otherwise you find you loved one sitting in urine soaked clothes and no clean clothes available because it takes days for laundry to return clothing. Also, when you tell them something, they always state they will do it or look into it. YEP...never gets done. Ask...ASK...ASK...MEETING...DEMAND....PLEAD...NOTHING. LOTS of MONEY...for WHAT!?! AND NOW THEY ARE UNDER CONSTRUCTION - POUNDING, HAMMERING, MOVING RESIDENTS FROM ROOM TO ROOM ...HALL TO HALL. VERY BAD FOR PATIENTS THAT ARE ELDERLY OR HAVE DEMENTIA. Or anyone for that matter."

"My dad was at Id Elks for his rehabilitation. He had three hours of therapy per day. An hour each for occupational therapy, physical therapy and speech therapy. It was the minimum but would also depend on how much help they needed. Nursing care was very good. When the call light was pressed, they usually arrived in five minutes. They were also very sensitive to comments from the family members, they really acted upon our observations with my father's condition. We watched them work out dad in the gym and we really saw the improvements. "

"The Idaho state Veterans Home is moderately acceptable. Some levels are warm and home like. There is a barber that comes once a week to cut hair which the Veterans love. They also have craft kits and fun volunteers and very happy volunteers. There are other levels which are dank and scary and the underpaid staff are just kind of scared and do not smile at all. I had some of the food and it was pretty good. They have jello every day which tires both the residents and myself. I went to go visit my great uncle Pete at least once a week and he was always excited to see me. He had one nurse Monica who was so wonderful. She was always happy and relaxed and knew exactly what he wanted and how to make him happy and take care of him. Monica was really really excellent. When my uncle died she went to the funeral and sat with the family. "

"My father thought the food was okay. The staff seemed very friendly and very competent. They always answered my questions and I find it reassuring that they weren't trying to hide anything. Overall, I thought it was okay. The room was very nice and they keep it clean. I thought they did a good job, but I think the facility is old and probably needs some updating. "

"My friend was in Trinity Mission for rehab, and the rehab was excellent. The rooms were very small, and they were short staffed. They had a lot of activities, and she had a private room. They have staff and aides that took care of her, but there were some problems with the nursing staff. "

"My Down's syndrome brother spent the last 6 months of his life at the Marquis Shaw Mountain. He grew up with 4 sisters and he lived with our family at home his entire life. If anyone would be critical, it sure would have been our family! It's a horrible decision for any family to have to face, but many of us have to in our life time. Our brother was loved and cared for by these dedicated special people. One of our first questions to them was "will he be touched and loved". The answer was yes and we went from there. He was always clean, his room was tidy and they made darn sure he was at bingo. We were welcomed anytime and appreciated as a pro-active family. Our brother loved to eat and they did the best they could on his meals. I know from this experience that we, as a family, made the right choice and we are forever indebted to all staff at the Marquis Shaw Mountain... "

"I am currently at Meadow View Nursing and Rehabilitation. It's a very nice facility. The staff is excellent and the food is generally good. They have a beauty salon and the nurses were all wonderful. I've been telling people about it myself and I would recommend it."

"My Mother in-law is in the Rehab here, they are taking excellent care of her. The staff is very helpful and kind her. "

"We toured The Terraces of Boise. It was very luxurious and well appointed with an elegant dining room. They were very cordial. It was quite a distance from the town, which was OK. It's a first-class operation. It was not completely open or available to see the other tier of care on our tour, which was a disappointment. "

"Pleased with compassion of caregivers. Therapy services provide a lot of help with getting better. Overall, a great place for care. "

"Impressed with the overall feel of the building. Staff is engaged. If you need the type of care they provide, it's the best place to go. "
