The Cottages Assisted Living and Memory Care-Boise sits at 6300 N. Roe St. in Boise, ID, and it's a smaller community with room for up to 14 residents, which means staff and caregivers can give plenty of personal attention and really get to know each person and their needs. Residents can get help with daily things like bathing, grooming, dressing, medication management, and moving about, and there's trained staff around 24/7 in case anyone needs anything, with an emergency call system in every room so folks can feel safe. The facility focuses both on assisted living and specialized memory care for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, with caregivers trained to support those who might have mild to advanced memory loss, always working to keep everyone comfortable and keep confusion low, and they work closely with outside healthcare providers too.
People who live here can bring their pets, and the community is set up to be pet friendly, plus there are both indoor and outdoor gathering spaces where you might find walking paths, gardens, or a nice spot to relax with others or alone. Meals are made with care, and they'll prepare food for those with dietary needs like no-sodium or low-sodium requests, putting taste and nutrition first, so residents have choices that work for their health. There's also a full schedule every day, with activities like clubs, games, musical performances, movie nights, social outings, and even special events like "Date Night" for couples, as well as programs such as "Never Too Old to Dream"-and the staff puts thought into keeping people engaged with connections and laughter.
For those needing a break or who only need care during the day, respite and adult day care services are available, making things easier for families and caregivers, and hospice services are on-site for people who need end-of-life care. The Cottages has different types of rentals, including apartments-some have patios, pools, fitness centers, and even doormen, plus options like washers and dryers, air conditioning, barbecue areas, hot tubs, and waterfront views, while all spaces are designed to be maintenance free so nobody has to handle chores like cleaning or cooking.
Executive Director Kristin Baisden and Facility Manager Andrea Mendoza lead an experienced team known for giving kind, honest, and consistent care, and they've been part of the Boise community since 2001, even supporting causes like The Walk To End Alzheimer's. The Cottages aims for a cozy, homelike setting where staff communicate well with families and focus on what residents want and need, helping each person keep as much independence as possible while having backup support close by, which matters a lot day to day, and since it's regulated by the State of Idaho as a licensed facility, families get peace of mind knowing their loved ones have supervision, companionship, and thoughtful care in a comfortable environment.
