6 Continuing Care Communities in Ada County, Idaho

It was a little bit farther away from me, and a little older. But it was very nice, we had a good feeling when we walked in, and there were a couple of residents playing the piano and singing. There was someone actually at the front desk who greeted us, he gave us a tour, he was great, and he was very helpful. They had studios which were sort of like a bedroom, with a little kitchenette, and a bathroom, but they also had one that had more of an apartment feel. I looked at a 1-bedroom. They had a calendar of events, they had a community room where they could watch movies, and they had a lovely dining room.

Brookdale Boise Parkcenter was a very nice place and I was very impressed with it. It was like a resort, you walked in and there's a huge fireplace which was very nice. The staff was great. However, they didn't have a private room for my mother. They had a big activities room with bingo, they had in-room entertainment, it was like you can take puzzles and crosswords back to your room, and you can check them out like in a library. I saw some people walking around and just hanging out. They also had sections, they had a 2 story section which was kind of neat, and some of them had balconies.

I wasn't quite as impressed with Brookdale Boise Parkcenter. There was a bit even less staff around than the other places I visited. The apartments were nice and well taken care of. They have a good layout and a good space for the value. The dining area was nice, large, and open. I didn't see any other common areas other than a sitting room.

The apartments at Chateau de Boise were large, and the layout was really nice. They had several 1-bedrooms that had a living room area. Even the studios were nice, big and open. The staff seemed friendly, but they didn't have a lot of staff because they're independent living. They had a craft activity going and quite a few different activities available. There was a movie room, a little exercise room, a laundry room, a dining room, and a hair salon.

Our visit with Chateau de Boise was wonderful. Everybody was so kind and so good to us. If I'm old enough, that's where I will go. The staff was extremely personable and very knowledgeable about his business, he loves his job, and he loves his people. It's a positive experience all the way around. We were able to talk to some of the guests and get some feedback, and that was all completely positive. All of the guests treated us like we were royalty. There was a welcome sign with our names on it to greet us. Everything was done very personal and very positive. I was very impressed. The rooms were beautiful and well appointed, well lit, with large windows looking out on pretty landscaping. They had a library, a gym, laundry, and transportation to take you where you need to go. You wouldn't have to leave the place. They have arrangements for paramedics and urgent care and different companies to do weekly checks if necessary. They have provided us with home healthcare information and a list of everything we need up until the time that we make a move. They've done everything for us. The manager just bent over backwards for us.
