What levels of care do you offer?
Garden Plaza offers independent living for people seeking effortless, joyful days filled with connection. The Bridge at Valley View provides assisted living with dignified support for daily routines and medication management. The two neighborhoods create a smooth path if support needs increase over time.
What makes Valley View unique in Boise?
The campus spans 10 peaceful acres with a lodge-style design that feels warm from the moment you step inside. Associates are long-tenured and truly know the community, which builds trust and continuity.
Signature touches, such as sweet treats from the Wishful Cookies bakery and cozy fireside spaces, make everyday moments memorable.
Which residences and floor plans are available?
Studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms are offered in both neighborhoods, many with patios, balconies, or garden views. Floor plans are specifically designed to be easy to move around in, with thoughtful storage and flexible spaces for hobbies or guests.
Which amenities and activities are included?
Residents enjoy chef-crafted dining, wellness and balance classes, creative workshops, social clubs, movie nights, walking paths, and landscaped outdoor areas. The calendar blends quiet comforts with lively gatherings so people can choose the pace that fits each day.
What is included in the monthly fee?
The monthly fee typically includes the residence, many utilities, housekeeping, transportation, scheduled programs, and on-site staffing. In Assisted Living, everyday support services are included according to the individualized plan. Exact inclusions are reviewed during the tour.
Are there additional charges for care services?
If someone needs more support than their basic plan provides, additional services can be added. The care team explains options and updates the plan if needs change.
How do you determine the right level of care?
A collaborative assessment explores health history, mobility, daily living skills, and personal routines. From there, the team recommends a setting and support plan that protects independence and creates peace of mind.
Is care personalized?
Yes. Plans reflect meal preferences, sleep and wake patterns, social interests, and routines that matter, like time in the garden or a favorite class. Associates adjust plans as interests evolve.
What happens if needs increase?
Support can be scaled within The Bridge so that people can remain near friends and familiar associates. If a change in setting is recommended, the team coordinates logistics with the individual and family.
What is dining like? Are dietary needs accommodated?
Dining features chef-crafted menus in social spaces that feel like a comfortable lodge. The team happily accommodates dietary needs and preferences, including diabetic-friendly and low-sodium choices.
What social activities and outings are offered?
Expect stretch-and-balance classes, creative arts, book and movie groups, holiday celebrations, scenic drives, and opportunities to enjoy Boise’s parks and shops – and so much more. The calendar encourages both relaxation and exploration.
Can residents bring pets?
Yes. Pets are welcome in many residences. The team will share the pet policy and any associated guidelines and fees.
Where are you located and what is nearby?
The community is in Boise with convenient access to shopping, dining, medical offices, and parks, yet the campus itself remains peaceful and green.
