About Arbor Valley of Cascadia

Arbor Valley of Cascadia is a skilled nursing and long-term care facility in Boise, Idaho, serving patients in rehabilitation and residential care settings.

Families consistently mentioned that care quality appears inconsistent across staff members and departments, with some experiencing excellent therapy and nursing while others faced long waits and gaps in medication management and basic personal care.

These people are crooks. After sending a final bill and us paying it off in cash, three months later they send another bill that has zero description for what it is for, they say ancillary expenses. It certainly was not something we agreed to or were told about. Also these people try to put the bill in families names instead of the patient. Watch out for these people and their questionable practices!

Arbor Valley is such a welcoming place to be. The building is clean and the nurses are nice. The management truly cares about the residents and that gives me peace of mind. I highly recommend this facility for anyone looking for long term care for their family.
