The Cottages of Nampa provides both Assisted Living and Memory Care, making it suitable for residents who need daily support as well as those living with early to advanced dementia. The care team can manage residents who wander during the day or night, remain awake throughout the night, require wound care, use oxygen, follow special diets, or manage diabetes with either oral medications or injections. Staff members are trained to adjust care plans as cognition or medical needs change, allowing the community to continue supporting residents through more complex stages of dementia.
Around-the-clock oversight is built into the community’s operating model. An RN or LPN is on site, a nurse is on call 24 hours a day, and awake night-shift staff perform regular rounds. Background-checked caregivers handle bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting for residents who need full assistance. Transfer help ranges from standby supervision to two-person or Hoyer lift transfers, accommodating walkers and wheelchairs. Security features include fenced grounds, door alarms, wander-guard systems, pull-cords, and personal emergency response systems that alert staff immediately.
Residences are offered in several layouts; some include private bathrooms, furnished setups, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option for residents to paint or decorate. Because configurations vary, not every suite contains each feature, so confirming specifics during a tour is encouraged.
Meals are prepared three times daily, with both set menus and on-order options, and snacks are available between meals. The culinary team coordinates closely with nursing staff to handle diet modifications or management plans, including low-sugar, low-sodium, or other physician-ordered diets.
Additional conveniences include resident parking, outdoor smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, an on-site barber and beauty shop, internet access, communal gardens, scheduled transportation, and proximity to public transit.
