Ace Elder Care, located in Bonners Ferry, Idaho at 6646 and 6652 Chippewa Dr, is a licensed residential care home for up to 20 residents, offering a home-like place for seniors who need a bit more help with daily living, whether it's bathing, dressing, washing up, or just getting around, and they have different kinds of rooms, with both private and semi-private options depending on what's needed. They've got assisted living, memory care for those with memory problems, and provide care for people who need higher levels of support, including diabetic and incontinence care, as well as non-ambulatory care and 24-hour awake staff, and they welcome residents who need a two-person transfer or insulin shots. Residents can stay a short while or for long-term needs, with respite and hospice care options, and the place takes both male and female residents who meet the minimum age.
The staff helps with medication, personal care, and daily activities, plus they coordinate physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and there's always someone on hand for emergencies, nursing care, or a doctor on call. Meals include three homemade dishes daily, and if a person needs special diets, like for diabetes or high blood pressure, or even Kosher or vegetarian options, they're able to make those adjustments, which is good for folks who worry about what they can eat.
The home has plenty of activities, with music therapy, pet therapy, art and craft programs, board games, fitness plans, outdoor garden areas, movie nights, regular events, and relaxation spaces like a hot tub, steam room, or the wellness room, and there's a swimming pool for anyone who likes a dip. Residents enjoy social events in both indoor and outdoor common areas, and for those who want to keep up religious or devotional habits, the staff arranges both on-site and off-site services-Buddhist, Christian, Islamic, and more, with some staff being able to speak Spanish. The place is pet-friendly so residents can bring a dog or cat, and it's wheelchair accessible throughout, including showers and other needed spaces, so mobility isn't much of a problem.
They offer in-house amenities like a mobile hairdresser or barber, recreation areas, and even parking for residents, plus high-speed internet, so staying in touch with family is easier. For those who want to get out, they provide transportation for doctor visits, errands, shopping, or spiritual gatherings, with some rides complimentary and others for a fee. The facility doesn't allow smoking inside, aiming to keep the place comfortable for everyone, and works hard to maintain a balanced, friendly atmosphere where seniors can get the help they need while keeping as much independence as possible.
