The Terraces of Boise

The Terraces of Boise sits on 11 well-kept acres at 5301 E. Warm Springs Ave. in Boise, right next to the Boise River Greenbelt and near downtown in the Harris Ranch neighborhood, and you'll find it's a nonprofit Life Plan Community owned by HumanGood, so everything from independent living to assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and short-term rehabilitation is all here together, and you don't have to worry if your needs change over time since they're set up for whatever level of care you end up needing, and they've got loft-style, one- or two-bedroom apartments and cottages, each with a kitchen, washer and dryer, walk-in closet, private patio or balcony, where the monthly fee covers almost everything without extra charges popping up. Residents get part-time nursing staff, personal care, medication reminders, and physical, occupational, or speech therapy as needed, and folks with Alzheimer's or dementia can join a memory support program that's very hands-on, helped by specialized staff. Services include meal preparation with balanced, good food, bi-weekly housekeeping, flat linen service, and garden upkeep, and the fitness center, gym, library with a fireplace, club room, hobby shop, rooftop garden terrace, and bistro make it easy to keep busy or relax. There are cultural outings, things like a night at the symphony, organized social and hobby activities, and a regular schedule of fitness classes and wellness programs, and residents can bring their pets and have help getting to appointments or shopping with scheduled transportation. For rehab or skilled nursing, there's around-the-clock nursing, a secure call system, electronic health records, private suites with modern beds and TVs, and rehab gyms for post-surgical care, all in smaller village-style homes built around open kitchens and living spaces. The building's setup is clean, neat, and accessible with Wi-Fi, safety features, and plenty of natural light, and employment and housing is open to people of all backgrounds. Their MyChoice program lets you tailor services if you want, like more or less laundry help or housekeeping, and the staff, from management to aides, has a reputation for being friendly and attentive. You'll see residents enjoying the rooftop garden or chatting over coffee, joining book clubs, living at the pace they choose. The Terraces of Boise aims to help people live independently as long as they can, with a backup plan if care needs increase.
