Brightstar Settlers Park in Meridian, ID functions as both a Residential Care Home and a Memory Care setting, so residents with early to advanced dementia can remain in one place as their needs change. The team is trained to manage wandering behaviors at any hour, elopement risk, behavioral issues, nighttime wakefulness, special diets, oxygen use, wound care, and diabetes—whether controlled by oral medication or injections.

Medical oversight includes an RN or LPN on staff and a nurse on call 24 hours a day. Staff members work awake overnight, have passed background checks, and respond to pull-cord alerts; secured doors, alarms, and a fenced rear area reduce exit risk. On-site podiatry visits cut down on outside appointments. Caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting and can handle walkers, wheelchairs, standby help, one- or two-person transfers, full Hoyer lift moves, and bed-bound care.

Private and semi-private rooms come furnished, and many can be repainted or decorated to a resident’s preference, though not every accommodation offers all options. Housekeeping is provided on a regular schedule to keep living areas clean and organized.

Meals are prepared to order and can be served in the dining room or delivered to the resident’s room when needed. The kitchen accommodates physician-ordered diets, texture-modified meals, and pureed food, allowing residents with complex medical or swallowing issues to eat safely.

Residents have access to a movie room, internet connectivity throughout the building, and maintained communal gardens for fresh air and light exercise.
