Mountain View Crossing is a senior living community in Boise, Idaho, built to feel like a comfortable, home-like place where care and attention matter. The owner, Lanae Hetland, and a caring staff provide help for people needing assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, independent living, or just a safe place as they heal or age. The community can support up to 15 residents, keeping a close resident-to-staff ratio of 1:4, which means staff are around to help with things like medications, bathing, dressing, transfers, hygiene, and daily chores anytime, day or night. The staff have over twenty-one years of combined experience and keep watch to make sure everyone gets the best care for their needs, including people who need help with memory loss, diabetes, or other health problems. They offer specialized memory care programming for dementia or mild cognitive impairment, plus light therapy and mental wellness programs.
Mountain View Crossing has both private and semi-private rooms, and most rooms come with their own bathrooms, wheelchair-accessible showers, and home-style furniture. There's a flat fee that covers all services, so families can plan. Residents eat home-cooked meals in a dining room, where staff can handle special dietary needs and restrictions, allergies, and diabetes-friendly options, and all meal prep and service is done on-site. There's laundry and housekeeping, too, so folks don't have to worry about cleaning. Residents can relax or chat in indoor common areas for socializing or playing games, and can step into a lush backyard garden with flowers, a pond, walking paths, and patios for fresh air.
The place offers devotional activities offsite, community-sponsored activities, group outings, and a full calendar of daily scheduled activities, plus programs like pet therapy and music therapy. There's an on-site beautician for hair and nail care. Residents can join light therapy programs and mental wellness groups as part of wellness services. Mountain View Crossing also handles incontinence care, ambulatory and non-ambulatory care, complex medical needs (high acuity care), hospice care for end-of-life needs, respite or short-term stays, and medication management. Safety features include secured entries, an emergency alert system, and 24-hour supervision.
The community has been certified as a family home that puts patient care, love, and attention to detail at the front, and people living there often say it feels cozy, quiet, and welcoming, like being in a real home instead of a big institution. Residents park on-site, and those with pets, walkers, or wheelchairs can get around because everything is built for easy access. Staff help everyone stay busy, connected, and respected, offering advice and connecting families to senior living options if needs change. Mountain View Crossing is a modest-sized place where both independent seniors and those with more complex health needs can live with dignity, enjoying the garden, the peaceful pond, and the family-like atmosphere. No specific prices are published. Tours are scheduled for families who want to visit and see if it's a good fit.
