Brightstar Care Homes Taft in Boise offers Assisted Living, Residential Care Home, and Memory Care services under one roof. The community is equipped to manage residents who wander at any time of day, present elopement risks, exhibit behavioral challenges, remain awake through the night, or require wound care, oxygen therapy, specialized diets, or diabetes management with oral medications or injections. Staff members are trained in advanced dementia support, enabling the residence to care for individuals with complex cognitive needs while maintaining consistent routines and safety measures.
Continuous clinical oversight supports these care programs. A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on staff, with nursing support on call around the clock. All employees undergo background checks, and an awake night shift ensures supervision every hour of the day. The building has secured entrances, 24-hour staffing, a fenced rear area, and in-room pull cords that alert caregivers immediately. Residents can be seen on site by a visiting podiatrist, and caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting when needed. Transfer help ranges from standby assistance to two-person or Hoyer-lift transfers for bed-bound residents, and both walkers and wheelchairs are accommodated.
Private and semi-private accommodations are available, and most rooms come furnished, though residents can bring personal items and may repaint or decorate to their preference. Housekeeping services are routinely provided. Not every unit includes all features, so it is best to verify the specific setup of any room under consideration.
Meals follow an on-order approach, allowing residents to select dishes at each sitting. In-room dining is available for those who prefer or require it, and the kitchen team manages physician-ordered diets, therapeutic modifications, and texture-altered options such as purées. Nutritional needs for diabetic residents and those on special diets are coordinated with the nursing staff to align with each care plan.
Residents can spend free time in the on-site movie room, use community internet access for email or video calls, and stroll or relax in the secured communal gardens. Regularly scheduled activities make use of these spaces to promote socialization and engagement.
