Rigby Lake Assisted Living sits at 470 Rigby Lake Drive in Rigby, Idaho, about 11 miles from Rexburg, with a focus on helping seniors who need some daily help and memory care. The place has room for up to 16 residents and provides care every day, all day and night, while the office staff is around Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., but stays closed on weekends. Each resident gets a studio room with an ADA-compliant private bathroom, and can choose different room layouts, with fully furnished options too. Daily life includes help with things like dressing, bathing, moving around, using the bathroom, and taking medicines, plus laundry and housekeeping, so people do not have to worry about chores. There's always a staff member nearby with friendly faces, safety alert systems, and 24-hour supervision for peace of mind.
Meals come three times a day in a well-lit, dedicated dining room, and those meals fit special diets such as for diabetes or food allergies. Residents take part in lots of activities like arts and crafts classes, movie nights, games, fitness, and outings to local attractions, sometimes making use of the transportation service for trips or doctor visits. Walking paths and a small garden outside make it easier for people to enjoy the Idaho scenery and get fresh air when they like, and there's a beauty salon and a spa where folks can relax. TV and Wi-Fi are available, along with exercise equipment and computer classes.
The staff, managed by Caroline Young and Angela Rodgers, help set up moves for new residents, and coordinate health care needs with local doctors, routine health check-ups, physical therapy, and medication help. There are fall prevention programs and memory care for people with Alzheimer's or Dementia, and residents with bigger health needs get manual feeding help or rehabilitation services right there. Emergency panic buttons and safety features come standard throughout the building, and all utilities get covered. The community has the feel of a medium-size neighborhood, and folks who live here tend to value both independence and support with dignity. The grounds have landscaped gardens and nice places to walk, there's organized daily entertainment, and people find a supportive, close-knit setting with staff who pay attention. Rigby Lake Assisted Living holds license number RC-1158 and is part of Jefferson County's network of senior living communities.
