“Management is doing a fine job, and my contacts with them have been very good. The food is very good and the servers are very helpful. In independent living you can do something every day, two or three times a day if you want. Housekeeping is great and keeps the laundry organized. The maintenance crew shows up real quick. Compared to other facilities in the area, it's worth the money, and I'd recommend it.”
“This is a wonderful, wonderful place to live. Everything runs smoothly, and if you're sitting by yourself, somebody will come by and say hi. The food is excellent with a big variety, and the servers learn your name quickly and greet you by it. We've loved the tours to the symphony and the lake, the music, the shows, and book club. Maintenance extended our patio and added two sinks and a fireplace; we think of them as part of our family. Lovely friends, a beautiful place, and we feel very safe.”
“I love it here. The people who work here are great, and the residents are some of the nicest people I've ever met. Management is doing a good job. There's a lot of thought in the food, and it's the best I've seen. Every day I find another activity, and the dinner music, with some of the best jazz bands I've ever seen, is first class. Maintenance is on time and very well trained. It's just the way I pictured heaven, and I would tell my friends to come check it out.”
“My wife and I love it here and are completely satisfied with everything. Management does a good job. The front desk staff is fantastic, and they handle emergencies in an outstanding way. The food is fantastic, and the service in both the pub and dining room is outstanding. Bingo, trivia and movies give us more than enough to do. Housekeeping does a fantastic job at the same time every two weeks, and maintenance was on time and did a super job. I've already recommended it to several friends.”
“The management is exceptional; they genuinely care about the residents and make an effort to know everyone by name. The dining options are varied and delicious, and the staff is always attentive. There's an abundance of activities to keep everyone engaged, and the maintenance team is incredibly responsive.

The food is also positive and we have nice choices. The presentation and taste are all fine and the staff is excellent. They also provide a nice assortment of activities and if you don't participate in them then that is your loss. My husband and I go down for them and find them to be fun. Overall the services here are good and if we need anything we can push our magic button and then help will be on the way.”
“They remember what you order to eat for breakfast and they know your names. I am very happy here! The food is excellent and the service is very good. They also do a good job with the housekeeping and it is always clean and picked up and they don’t bother things. I think they do a really good job of taking care of a lot of old people. They try to keep us busy with things that we can do.”
“I live at the community, and I recommend it frequently and highly. Management is responsive when things need to get done or resolved. The menu varies, they always have healthy foods, and the food is delicious. They have more varied and interesting activities in any one day than any one person can possibly do. The housekeepers come on time, they do what they need to do, and they're pleasant. When you put in a work request, maintenance comes as quickly as they can and if it's an emergency, they come right away. I feel safe and comfortable here.”
“What I see here is a real consistency and it is not like someone has to nudge them to do something. They get on it really consistently. The priority is the comfort of the residents and I feel very safe living here. Plus, the managers are the best communicators about communicating change and meeting with the staff that I've experienced in my life. Also, the food is great and they have a lot of variety of activities.”

He gets food delivered and it's very good. I see the activity flyers and the pianist there is wonderful. The housekeeping is great and they're doing his laundry on certain days. Maintenance staff is quick, thoughtful, and they've hung a bunch of pictures. The care staff is accessible, knowledgeable and sweet. Overall, he feels safe, comfortable, and the value is reasonable.”

He was well taken care of there.”
“The staff here care about everyone, they are dependable and nice and are just overall fabulous. They also provide so many activities and do a good job cleaning. Overall I couldn't be happier here.”
“We selected this community for the memory care unit. My husband needed help with dementia and Parkinson's problems and we believe it's the best one in the state. We were very pleased with the community and the type of care that he received. They took such good care of him. Having never been in that situation we were very impressed with the care and concern they give every paitent as well as the patients family. The food was delicious, they serve everybody like they are in a dining room out to dinner someplace at a restaurant. They had linen napkens which I was very impressed with. They give the patients a choice of two things at each meal. I can't talk highly enough of the staff and caregivers there. They are just a bunch of walking angels. They are just so calm and resassuring.”

What these terms mean
Idaho law: “Core issues” means “abuse, neglect, exploitation, inadequate care, inoperable fire detection or extinguishing systems with no fire watch in place pending the correction of the system, and surveyors denied access to records, residents, or facilities.” A “non-core issue” is “any finding of deficient practice that is not a core issue” (Idaho Code 39-3302).
Facilities “must correct non-core issues within thirty (30) calendar days of the exit conference” (IDAPA 16.03.22.127). Facilities without core issues in two consecutive licensure surveys are inspected at least every 36 months; facilities with core issues at least every 15 months.
“A provisional license may be issued when a facility has one (1) or more core issues, when non-core issues have not been corrected, have become repeat deficiencies, or an acceptable plan of correction is not submitted” (IDAPA 16.03.22.935).
FLARES awards: “Gold Excellence in Care Award - No deficiencies were cited during the survey”; “Silver Excellence in Care Award - No core deficiencies were found and there were three or fewer non-core deficiencies cited during the survey.”
Each cited rule is shown with the heading the State printed in its report. Idaho’s assisted living rules changed on July 1, 2026, and some section numbers now point to different rules, so read each citation with its heading.
