Two kinds of assisted living in Boise
Both are licensed by Idaho as assisted living. Larger communities suit people who want social life and on-site services; small homes suit people who do better with quiet, familiar routines, including many people with dementia. Idaho words these licenses as “Residential Assisted Living Facility (SMALL)” (32), “Residential Assisted Living Facility (LARGE)” (17).

Idaho law calls abuse, neglect, exploitation, inadequate care and a few other serious problems “core issues.” Every other finding is non-core. Counts cover the last five years of surveys for communities the State inspected in the past year. Idaho inspects a community without core issues in two surveys in a row at least every 36 months, so many communities have no survey in the past year.

How much does assisted living cost in Boise?
The median cost of assisted living in Idaho is $5,175 a month ($62,100 a year), below the national median of $6,200. That’s CareScout’s 2025 survey, collected July to November 2025. 2 Boise communities publish a starting price on Lilisity, from $3,250 to $5,870 a month. If more care is needed: nursing home costs in Idaho, with CareScout medians and the private-pay rates nursing homes publish. Small residential homes often cost less than larger communities, though care needs, room type and services move the price more than the building does.
Medicare does not pay for assisted living. People pay from savings and income, long-term care insurance, or VA Aid and Attendance (up to $29,093 a year for a veteran in 2026), and some qualify for Medicaid help with care costs at communities that accept it. Who actually pays for long-term care.

Boise assisted living questions
Idaho licenses 49 assisted living communities in Boise as of November 2026: 17 larger communities and 32 small residential homes of 16 or fewer residents, with about 1,603 licensed spots in all.
The median cost of assisted living in Idaho is $5,175 a month (CareScout 2025), compared with $6,200 nationally. Prices vary with the room, the level of care and the community, so ask each one for its current rate sheet. The table on this page shows each community's published price or a Lilisity estimate where we have one, and our free guide lists the questions to ask about cost.
Medicaid doesn't pay rent or meals in assisted living. Most states offer a Medicaid waiver or program that can pay for care services at participating communities for people who qualify; not every community takes it, so ask each one. Idaho's Medicaid agency or your local Area Agency on Aging can tell you what's available.
Idaho publishes its licensing records at arcgis.com. You can also ask any community for its most recent state inspection report.
