The Gables Memory Care of Pocatello sits on the southwest edge of town, right next to the Riverside Golf Course and surrounded by the quiet Bannock Mountains, which you can see from the landscaped grounds and secure patios that let folks enjoy some fresh air. The facility serves seniors and families from Pocatello and nearby communities like Chubbuck, Inkom, American Falls, McCammon, Lava Hot Springs, Soda Springs, and other nearby towns, and it's part of The Gables Family Senior Living community, so they offer a range of care services. You'll find their main address at 1451 Bannock Hwy, but the Memory Care building also sits at 2805 S Grant Avenue, and there are two named Pocatello Memory Care Buildings, making the campus spread out and specialized for memory care.
The staff provide assisted living, dedicated memory care, in-home and adult day services, so they help with everything from bathing and dressing to medication management and keeping track of each resident's daily needs. Folks with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia get support from caregivers who know how to handle wandering and confusion; the place is built for safety and security with 24-hour supervision. There are rooms in different sizes, some that can be furnished as residents wish, with options for private and shared living. The community includes an emergency alert system, move-in coordination, telephones in rooms, laundry services, housekeeping, walking paths, and dietary plans for people with special food needs, such as diabetes or allergies, and they do all-day dining and meal delivery.
Residents join in on movie nights, social events, and memory care activities that are made to engage the mind and provide some daily purpose, and there's an activity schedule with choices for all abilities. With the recent renovations, the suites and common spaces are more inviting, aiming for a peaceful, home-like feeling. There are secure gardens, outdoor walking paths, and spots to sit in peace, whether for solitude or a friendly chat. Transportation and parking services help with errands, doctor visits, and outings in surrounding areas. The staff stay in regular contact with residents' families, making sure everyone's on the same page about care plans and well-being. Everything centers around safety, comfort, and as much independence as possible, all while offering specialized support for memory care.
