Arbor Village At Hillcrest sits in Central Bench, Boise, in Ada County, close to Morris Hill and several neighborhoods, and you'll find the place fits many needs and preferences for older adults. The community was built in 1983 and offers different types of care like independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and respite care, with a continuing care retirement community setup so seniors can get more help as their needs change. The whole property's no smoking indoors, and pets are welcome in the community areas, which is nice for folks who want their animals nearby, and there's plenty of indoor and outdoor spots, including landscaped grounds with walking paths and gardening beds, so if gardening is your thing you can keep that going.
The community offers lots of services and amenities, such as a computer area, a fireside room with a fireplace, a pool table area, private and community dining spaces, and a coffee bar where residents can gather. Meals are planned and prepared by a food service team, and the facility's Delish restaurant and community gallery give the space a welcoming and home-like atmosphere. There's an activities director who arranges leisure, social, and educational events, and the calendar fills up with offsite trips, devotional services, and things right on the property to keep everyone involved at their own comfort level.
Apartments come in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts, with some studios at 433 or 655 square feet, plus kitchenettes with refrigerators and microwaves, and select apartments have balconies with views of scenic Boise or the community's green grounds. Every apartment has individual climate control, so it's easy to stay comfortable year-round, and utilities even include digital cable, but not telephone service. Weekly housekeeping and laundry make it easier for residents, and there's a responsive maintenance team keeping things tidy. Safety is a priority, as there's an emergency alert system in each unit and caring staff on-site 24/7 to help with anything from daily living needs to medical care, especially for those with memory conditions like Alzheimer's.
Residents can use common areas like the high-ceiling dining room, a library and sitting room, balcony, game room, and places to just unwind, and if you have friends or family visiting, they can join you for meals or events in private dining spaces. The property keeps things lively and neighborly, and everyone's got access to outdoor areas with scenic views, gardens they can tend, and walking paths, which is nice especially because the area's got a high walk score of 71 and bike score of 77, so folks who like to get around on foot or by bike will find it manageable.
Transportation is available for appointments or group outings, and there's complimentary parking for those who drive. The place is close to schools like Hillcrest Elementary, South Junior High, and Borah Senior High, and there are nearby apartment options-like Hilton Street Apartments or Grover Townhomes-and easy access to resources about planning for senior care. Staff members are known for being friendly, kind, and joyful, helping to build a community that places comfort, privacy, and social activity at the center, with regular renovations to keep the place modern and clean. Hospice and respite care help caregivers and families catch a break or manage special health challenges, and the management at Seasons Living leads a team focused on both safety and enjoyment. Overall, Arbor Village At Hillcrest provides a steady, honest option for seniors who want a welcoming home, daily support, and a choice of activities, with services designed to fit many levels of independence or care.
