Lily and Syringa Assisted Living sits in Idaho Falls off 1st Street and focuses on both memory care and assisted living for older adults. The community serves Southeast Idaho and houses a small number of residents-usually 12 to 16 per building-which lets staff give more one-on-one care and helps everyone feel at home. The facility accepts people aged 55 and up, and has mixed suites available, from private and shared rooms to studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts, with choices for furnished or unfurnished spaces. Safety's a big focus here, so every building has alarm systems, a gated entrance, sprinkler system, and several safety and handicap features, which all help residents feel secure and stop wandering, especially for people with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia. There's around-the-clock care, with certified nursing assistants and staff specially trained in memory loss, plus a part-time licensed nurse is on staff and there's always a doctor on call. Most caregivers have extra training in CPR and first aid, and everyone receives ongoing lessons in ethics and dementia care.
Residents get help with daily living needs like meals, medication, dressing, bathing, transfers, and more. There's daily housekeeping, laundry and dry cleaning, as well as transportation for doctor visits, shopping, and group outings. The facility has an emergency alert system and offers supervision 24 hours a day, so families can trust that someone's always nearby if help's needed. For meals, the kitchen serves home-cooked, dietitian-approved food three times a day, including snacks and diets for diabetes, allergies, or special nutrition needs. Residents can choose to eat in the dining room with all-day restaurant-style service, and there are kitchenettes in some rooms for those who want them. The grounds include walking paths, outdoor and indoor gardens, and outdoor sitting areas, and inside you'll find a game room, fitness center, salon and barber shop, arts room, and entertainment spaces for group activities, arts, crafts, music, and movie nights. Many programs are set up to encourage movement, mental activity, and socializing, with health and wellness programs built for seniors' needs. The staff also set up religious services offsite and offer devotional support for those who ask.
Memory care services here cover everything from personalized care plans to tailored activities, and the environment aims to reduce confusion for those with dementia or Alzheimer's. Staff are friendly and helpful, sometimes described as hard workers who are patient and look out for residents' needs, especially when memory problems make it tough for people to speak up for themselves. Residents can get specialty care for things like diabetes, incontinence, mobility challenges, and non-ambulatory needs, which means people can usually stay at Lily and Syringa even as their health changes. Housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance are part of the package, along with resident and guest parking, WiFi, cable TV, and community-sponsored activities that range from fitness classes to movie nights.
Payment options include private pay, social security, insurance, and veteran's benefits, with separate fees for community, respite, buy-in, and extra care, as well as options for all-inclusive rent. The community offers help with finances, including advice for home sales and payment planning. Family members can use tools and online systems to stay updated and get tips about care, and the team encourages frequent visits and helps families adjust during move-in or end-of-life care. Aging in place, respite stays, and a supportive environment help residents live as independently as possible while getting needed support. Lily and Syringa is Gold Star rated by the Idaho Department of Health & Welfare, offers both private and shared rooms, and focuses on a safe, warm, and clean community where seniors can enjoy social, fitness, and wellness activities every day, whether they're mostly independent or need full memory care.
