Garden Plaza of Valley View sits on a 10-acre campus in Boise, the City of Trees, and has a classic Idaho Lodge look with mountain views, which makes the place feel peaceful and tucked-away, but you still get all the city convenience that comes from being right in Boise. The community offers several levels of care, so there's independent living if you're active and want your own space, assisted living for older adults who need a little help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, or taking medicine, and there's also skilled nursing and rehabilitation, home health care, and memory care programs for those who need more support, and all these are designed to help residents keep their independence as long as they can, and still live with some peace of mind.
The campus includes private and semi-private apartments, each with kitchenettes, walk-in closets, cable/satellite TV, emergency call systems, and private bathrooms, and some units have extra storage space, so there's plenty of room for keepsakes. Most of the chores are handled by staff, like housekeeping, laundry, and linen service, plus there's room service and the option to have guest meals if friends or family stop by for dinner. Residents enjoy restaurant-style meals with menus prepared to offer them nutritious food, there's also a community dining area where people often gather which is nice for meeting others and getting to know the staff and neighbors.
For activities, there's always a lot happening, because the staff runs daily schedules, and residents are encouraged to join live entertainment, arts and crafts, local outings, theme parties, field trips, cards and board games, billiards, horticultural projects out in the gardens, and music programs. Aquatic amenities, including a swimming pool, and a fitness center, are available, and there's a beauty and barber shop, a library, and a residents' lounge too, so most folks can find something that fits what they want to do, and it encourages people to try new hobbies or just enjoy time with friends. The staff includes an activities director, and there's nurse coverage 24 hours, with a dedicated on-site nurse present part-time, and the building is handicap accessible and has Wi-Fi throughout, so everyone stays connected with their family and doctors if needed.
Outdoor features include landscaped gardens, courtyards, covered parking, and space for pets, so animal lovers can keep their companions. The place is fully open 24 hours and offers scheduled transportation for errands, medical visits, or outings around Boise, which takes a lot of burden off having to drive or ask for rides. The Bridge at Valley View is on the campus, which means skilled rehabilitation and long-term care are right there if circumstances change.
Pricing starts at $3,195 for independent living and $4,860 for assisted living, and monthly fees cover many daily needs, including meals, housekeeping, and transportation, with the license number RC-250. Garden Plaza of Valley View is known for friendly staff, well-organized activities, and good food, as shown by several local awards, including Best Meals and Dining and Most Friendly. Tours are available for anyone thinking about moving in, and the focus across all services is to help residents stay active, form friendships, and live a vibrant life without the daily strain of home upkeep.
