Idaho Falls is a small city located on the banks of the Snake River. The city gets its name from the beautiful waterfall located right in the heart of the downtown area.
In Idaho Falls, 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 in 2019 was about $3,850 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 Idaho Falls are rated 5 points below the national average. Grocery and other essential costs are also rated below the average.
