Nursing Home Communities in Meridian, ID

"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. "

"As far as rehabilitation and nursing goes, there is nowhere I would have rather had the pleasure of being than The Orchards of Cascadia. During my time recovering there, I was blessed with not only incredibly patient and compassionate nurses, happy to help in all ways - but also very consistent, compassionate and hard working and thoughtful CNA's who shared the same goals in helping my health as I did myself. My experience was littered with nothing but positivity through every step, steps genuinely made possible by the therapy team who I could not have recovered without the guiding hand of. They took me from stuck in a bed, to being able to walk again, and even finding the reason for a smile as well. Through all of this, even the higher ups would go out of their way to greet me and express their time and availability, should I need it. I never felt alone or abandoned in my recovery, and I urge others to get help when needed; thank you to Cascadia and everybody there who helped me get where I am today. "

"Wellspring Health and Rehabilitation of Cascadia was good. I would rate them excellent, but they lack a little bit on personal attention. The food smelled and looked really good, and my mom said it tasted home-cooked. The activities were OK, but you have to be able to make it through the activities, and if you’re not able to get there on your own, it’s difficult to do anything. I think the community is pretty good for bed-ridden people, but I wouldn’t put someone in there who wanted to be involved in activities and social things. My mom was in assisted living and I didn’t feel like they gave her enough attention, although the staff was good. The cost is really high for the value."

"Shaw Mountain of Cascadia is very clean and there's no hospital smell. I talked with a number of the staff, and I was very impressed with them. They've been there for a long time, so it doesn't appear that there's a big turnover. The food is very good, and my dad likes it. They have a nurse who's always there when I'm there. She administers the medications. They also have a rehabilitation center where my dad went to first, and they worked very diligently to help him know how to get out of the bed onto the wheelchair. They also did arm exercises for strength. Also attached to the rehab center is a memory center, which my dad will eventually go to since he has the onset of dementia. The staff was very caring, professional, knew what they're doing, and have had training. The meal I had was excellent, and they cook everything there. The place is nicely appointed, and the hospital beds all looked nice in rehab. There's TV and any kind of music you want, a couple of chairs for visitors, a sink, and closet. It's very adequate."

"All facilities are judged by the level of care and "caring" they offer to their clients, and based on that, Meadow View Skilled Nursing and Rehab has to be one of the very best facilities of its kind in the State of Idaho. I arrived there to accomplish recuperation and physical therapy after a bout with Pancreatitis, complicated by both a UTI and e-coli that had previously hospitalized me for 5-days. As part of my physical therapy, they discovered elements that stemmed from a car accident that had been overlooked for 7-years by doctors, chiropractors, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other physical therapists. Obviously, that speaks highly of the level of expertise of the therapy staff at Meadow View, however it's the entire staff that makes this facility an exemplary facility. I've never before seen the level of accountability each team member holds themselves to in any business, and they go about it naturally and with what I call "casual professionalism." From the janitorial service team members to the engineering staff to the CNA's, nurses, and doctors right up to the administrators, each and every person gives you the impression that they have been waiting all day for the opportunity to take care of you and your needs."

"The place and staff are amazing. My Grandmother was there for rehab after her surgery and the PT team was great and she was able to return home sooner than expected!"

"My sister is in nursing care at The Terraces of Boise. They have a lot of staff members that are in and out of the rooms every day. She's in a private room that's very clean, and large for a skilled nursing facility. The communication is phenomenal, they have social workers, doctors, and nurses, and they're all very willing to come in and talk to you and set up different things that she needs right now. They have everything there, there's physical therapy, speech therapy, all kinds of things there."

"The staff took very good care of my grandfather. They treated him like family. He liked the food and loved the staff. Therapy worked him well enough to be able to come home. There was always something going on, even though he didn't always participate."

"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. "

"I love this place. I love exercising and trying to lose weight. I love the food. I'm gonna miss my roommate when I love. And I;m gonna miss my case manager."
