Alpine Meadows in Meridian, ID, is licensed for Assisted Living and is equipped to serve residents who need everyday help while still maintaining as much independence as possible. The community provides medical oversight for oxygen therapy as well as diabetic management whether a resident uses oral medication, injections, or a sliding-scale protocol. Staff are trained to recognize and accommodate mild dementia, offering cueing and structure without the intensity of a secured memory-care environment.
A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on staff, backed by an activity director who ensures daily engagement. Safety features include a fenced rear area and in-room pull-cords that route alerts directly to caregivers. On-site services cover routine nursing assessments, diabetic care, medication management, hospice coordination, incontinence support, ambulatory assistance, and short-term respite. Staff can furnish full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, and provide some physical help with meals. Transfer support ranges from standby assistance and walker guidance to one-person, two-person, or full Hoyer lifts, ensuring residents with varying mobility levels can be moved safely.
Apartments at Alpine Meadows vary in size and layout; some include a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate the space. Because floor plans differ, not every unit contains every listed feature, so prospective residents should confirm specifics during a tour.
Dining offers a set daily menu along with an on-order option for residents who prefer more choice. Snacks are available throughout the day, and the kitchen accommodates physician-ordered or preference-based diet modifications. Independent-living residents who elect medication management monitoring can receive reminders and oversight without transitioning to the full Assisted Living service package.
Amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, a movie room, on-site religious services, a hydrotub for therapeutic bathing, an outside patio, and a library. Scheduled transportation helps residents reach medical appointments or local errands. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
