Overland Court Senior Living sits in a quiet neighborhood in Boise, Idaho, and offers a range of support, including Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, Skilled Nursing, Rehabilitation, Adult Day Care, Home Health, and Senior Services, so you see all kinds of folks calling it home, some needing just a little help and some needing a lot more, but everyone finding their level of comfort. The place has a real cozy feeling right away with its stone fireplace and soft chairs in the lobby, and the big windows let in sunlight that warms up the sitting areas, and you notice the simple but pretty decor that helps make it feel welcoming, not stuffy or fancy, and the dining room's got those black cloths on the tables and flowers on the chairs, so meals feel pleasant, and the kitchen staff set out chef-prepared meals from noon until five, which gives people plenty of time to come when they want. Outside, there's such a nice patio, colorful flowers around, shaded by a sturdy pergola, and walkways wind through green lawns, past old trees and flower boxes, so residents who like to be outdoors can get fresh air and stretch their legs safely.
The community focuses on giving residents choices, with different floor plans from small studios up to larger, easy-to-navigate apartments, all with features like big windows and simple layouts, and you'll see names like Lilac, Honey Locust, Blue Spruce, and Box Elder, which gives each apartment a bit of its own personality. They allow small pets, which is nice for people who don't want to let go of a companion. You'll see the community is always clean and well-kept, with a team available all day and night, and if something in the apartment needs fixing, on-site maintenance comes pretty quick. There's help with daily life too, things like bathing, dressing, taking medicine, and there are always licensed nurses and caregivers around, so if someone's health needs change, the help changes with them.
Overland Court has a memory care wing for folks living with Alzheimer's or dementia, with secure spaces to help prevent wandering, specially designed activity rooms with lots of light, and programs like the award-winning SPARK program that offers activities such as gardening, crafts, and socials, aiming to keep hands busy and minds engaged, and you notice signs out front marking the memory care entrance with brick pillars, so families can find their loved ones' area easily. The whole facility offers scheduled transportation for errands, doctor visits, or group outings, so nobody's stuck inside, and they've got a full calendar of daily events, including fitness classes, religious services, games, movie nights, happy hours, and weekly housekeeping, so the place doesn't ever feel lonely or dull.
Residents get three chef-prepared meals every day, plus snacks, and the Elevate® Dining and Vibrant Life® programs try to make sure people are eating well and have things to look forward to, and there's always a place to sit and talk-from the bright common rooms to cozy nooks by fireplaces, or outside in the courtyard. A beauty salon and barbershop are on site, which keeps things simple for grooming, and group exercise classes happen in the fitness center, so those wanting to stay active can join in when they feel up for it.
The staff, many of them working there a long time, do their best to keep the atmosphere friendly and focused on helping everyone stay as independent as possible, and dignity's important to them. The management helps families find ways to pay for housing and care, whether through insurance, veterans' benefits, savings, or government programs like Medicare or Medicaid, and there are resources to help with understanding terms or caregiving basics.
Overland Court Senior Living's a verified senior community managed by Integral Senior Living, and what you'll see is a mix of safety, privacy, and community, with a real effort to help residents feel like they belong, keep their interests, and live a life that's active and connected, with nature and companionship all around.
