Senior Living Boise

Englefield Green offers Assisted Living at its senior living campus off Franklin and Allumbaugh Boise Idaho.  This retirement community in Boise is surrounded by family homes and is close to restaurants, schools, and the Boise Towne Square Mall area.  Our residents, like those in most senior living communities, appreciate a quiet setting close to things they and their families like to do.

Grace Assisted Living facilities offer the latest of everything in retirement homes. Englefield Green's newest and most appreciated retirement home amenity is our new Anytime Bistro.  Residents can pop into the Bistro for a cup of coffee or a cold drink; or settle in for a long visit with a neighbor, friend, or family member.  Comfortable tables and chairs and cafe decor make this spot a favorite for everyone.

Beautiful fireplaces with sofas and chairs make a friend or family visit comfortable for small or large groups.  Comfortable seating for the library area includes a fireplace also.  Our private dining room is perfect for your special occasions and family birthday parties.

All residents enjoy the dedicated movie theater with the big lounge chairs and popcorn machine.  The game tables and activity rooms are popular, and our gym and salon keep everyone looking and feeling their best.

The Grace bus takes residents for Mystery Rides and country drives where ice cream stops are not unusual.  The bus is also convenient for resident's shopping and medical appointments. Sometimes the bus delivers the Lunch Bunch to the restaurant of choice.

Tasty meals at our assisted living facilities are thoughtfully planned by a professional chef and prepared and served by well-trained staff.  There is always something fun or interesting in the way of Activities, from jigsaw puzzles, bingo, table games, cards, crafts and so much more.  Ice cream socials, holiday celebrations, and frequent musical performances are a part of the normal routine.  

We love the sing-a-longs that some of the groups include.

Care at Grace Assisted Living is also a big part of the senior living experience. Our team of RNs, LPNs, CNAs, and Medication Technicians is carefully trained for assisted living facilities. Support, as we age, is a family's number one concern.  Does it take a lot off our residents shoulders, when they know a little help, is just a button push away.  They know someone is always close by.

Teamwork is essential in assisted living and the administrator and their staff are an important part of the bridge that Grace builds between the senior living community and residents families.  Family members appreciate being able to ask questions and get answers as they navigate between their family member and their new environment.

Grace is excited to announce our new hospice company (Grace Care Hospice). Grace will also be providing a variety of health care services through our affiliated companies including; home health nursing, rehabilitation, and counseling.

Dr. Aaron Moorhouse and Dr. Jason Ludwig have joined the Grace team as our Medical Directors.

Updated review: I recommend families or residents bring any issues directly to Grace's Administrator. Grace Assisted Living reached out to me (I think in part because of my original review about my Grandmother's room being messy). They gave me information on the cleaning schedule and also gave me resources and a contact to reach out to if there is a mess in my Grandmother's room. My Grandmother's room has been clean every time I have visited since we spoke with the facility's administrator and I'm confident that our issue has been resolved now. I am happy that they took the time and effort to look into the issue.<br><br>Initial issue:<br>My Grandma's room (she is 97) is often messy when I visit. My Mom and I have both noticed it on several occasions over about a one-month period. My Mom has mentioned it a few times to the staff but it appears they haven't made any changes to fix the issue.

This is a poor excuse for a business that should provide a safe space for the elderly . I am absolutely disgusted in the way my family was treated . No refund on 3,000 deposit , they took the entire months rent after they increased and my grandfather put a 30 day notice in . He moved out on 4/6 and was charged for the entire month . Then they said he has to pay for carpet replacement but his deposit did not go towards that so they charged him additional 2600. This place feeds off the elderly and hits them in the pocket book when they have limited income . They have zero respect . Please please don't take your family here if you care for them

My Dad was at Grace for just a little over two years. We were so happy with his care and it's a very nice/clean lovely place. Everyting about Grace was great! We had to put my Dad on Hospice care at the end of his life while at Grace and the staff was amazing and blessed him with love until the end. I would highly recommend this facility!
