The ashley Manor facilities provided great care for my grandmother and were so helpful with all my questions and concerns. Every time I came to visit my grandma the caregivers were helpful and updated me on everything concerning her health. The marketer was so helpful when it came to moving her in and the administrator and staff made sure she was taken care of and that our family was aware of everything going on. After she passed away they were so caring and helped us move all of her belongings. I highly recommend Ashley Manor to anyone with a family member who has alzheimers or dementia!
I really appreciate the people at Rosetta Assisted Living. My loved one seems t be getting along with everybody and actually enjoys being there. They have tried their best to accommodate her with all of her medical issues. It's a very nice facility, smaller in some areas of the memory care unit, but with a very spacious living room area.

In Blackfoot, residential care homes — sometimes called care homes, board and care homes, group homes, or personal care homes — are often houses in residential neighborhoods that are adapted, equipped, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually 10 or less. Similar to assisted living but in a smaller, more residential setting, these homes provide supervision, organized events, and assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). This means care homes can help with everyday routines but typically do not provide 24-hour skilled nursing assistance.
The median monthly cost of a room in a care home is about $3,900 in the state of Idaho. However, the cost of living in a care home depends largely on location. Since the homes are private residences, costs are tied to real estate value and therefore may vary greatly.
The total household expenses associated with living in Blackfoot are rated three points below the national average. Grocery and other essential costs are rated equally or close to the national average.
