BeeHive Oakcrest sits at 1745 E Oakcrest Dr in Meridian, Idaho, and it's a smaller home with ten licensed beds that makes things feel less crowded and more like a real neighborhood, and if you're looking for gentle assisted living, memory care, or a place for an independent senior who likes a bit of help, this place covers most of those needs with a sense of calm and routine, and you see, they've got prepared meal plans, usually one or two a day, cooked by chefs and meal planners who try to keep meals healthy and tasty, but they'll change things up for folks with diabetes or high blood pressure or other special diets, and there's always the option to join community dining or use the all-day dining choice when you want. Help with bathing, dressing, grooming, or getting around inside is standard, and if medication management gives anyone trouble, staff takes care of it, along with other daily things like laundry, housekeeping, and even dry cleaning, and since the staff stays around day and night, help's never far away, even with an emergency alert system set up in each room, so folks don't have to worry if something happens overnight.
If you're an active and social kind of person, or if a loved one craves steady activity, BeeHive Oakcrest offers gatherings like movie nights, outdoor gardening, board games, pet therapy, and even music or craft programs, all meant to keep hands and minds busy, and they're mindful about memory care so if Alzheimer's or dementia is a concern, they have secure areas, routines, and therapies set up specifically for those needs, helping ease confusion while still letting people join in on activities when they're able. There are garden areas outside, walking paths, a reading room, a parlor where you can get a haircut or just sit and chat, and even a jacuzzi and steam room which feels a bit like a treat for sore joints, along with a dedicated health area for anyone who needs extra care like incontinence support, diabetic services, hospice, respite stays, or non-ambulatory help, which means if someone can't walk well or needs a wheelchair, that's not a problem here.
Folks who have pets might find comfort knowing cats and dogs are welcome, too. The facility organizes outings for shopping, church meetings, and even offers a ride to doctor visits, helping people stay active and part of the community. For those who can't always manage things themselves anymore, staff will help with showering, using the restroom, and even getting in or out of bed safely. For memory care residents, the secure layout and trained helpers aim to reduce wandering and support changing needs over time. BeeHive Oakcrest often earns friendly reviews, and it's won some awards for how they treat people. Every living area here is furnished and set up to be comfortable, and there's an option for private space if you'd like that. It's a place where seniors who do well on their own but need a little extra don't have to give up comfort or activities, and families get a bit more peace of mind about day-to-day care and safety.
