Life Care Center of Boise sits at 808 N Curtis Rd, Boise, Idaho, and it operates as a certified Skilled Nursing Facility, also called a SNF, with connections to Life Care Centers of America. The place has 153 certified beds, but about 90 are usually for use, and it takes Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, and long-term care insurance. Residents can pick from private and semi-private rooms, with choices for studio, single, and two-bedroom apartments. There's a good size team of nurses and CNAs-nurse coverage averages around 3.53 hours per resident each day, a bit under the Idaho state average, and nurse turnover sits at 50%, which is higher than most places. Staff try hard to give helpful and gentle care, but 31 inspection deficiencies show there have been some issues with things like infection control, accident hazards, and record keeping. The most recent inspection happened over two years ago, which is later than usual.
The center has skilled nursing, long-term and intermediate care, independent and assisted living options, respite care, and strong rehab programs. Services include wound care, medication help, physical, occupational, and speech therapy, even peritoneal dialysis, along with bariatric beds and post-op support. Residents get personal help with dressing, grooming, and bathing, and there's compassionate support for end-of-life care. Meals follow dietary rules, and a certified dietitian works with the kitchen staff. Activities keep folks busy with things like arts and crafts, social events, education classes, and a community re-entry program, plus religious services and full-time activity directors planning each day.
Amenities range from beauty salon and barber shop, fitness center, landscaped courtyards, laundry, Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, kitchenettes, and cable, to safety features like wheelchair access, sprinkler system, and Wanderguard. Safety and supervision depend on staff teamwork and communication, but families should know about past inspection findings before moving in. The Life Care Center of Boise gives transportation, family councils, flexible visiting hours, and guides families through admission with initial care consultations. The team uses advanced rehab equipment like the AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill, and makes care plans that fit each resident's health and independence needs, with attention to patient and family education. There's a homey, friendly feeling, and some recent changes aim to improve care and staffing, but regular checks and conversations stay important so any issues get seen and fixed quickly.
