Auburn Crest Bonners Ferry Hospice sits at 6541 Main St, Bonners Ferry, Idaho, and people know it for offering hospice and assisted living care with a real focus on compassion and respect, where folks spend their last days in comfort and dignity with help from a caring team of nurses, caregivers, and friendly office staff, and with over twenty years of local experience, this faith-based group takes pride in working closely with patients, families, doctors, and volunteers, making sure each person gets the support they and their family need, whether that's at home or inside a long-term care facility. The place runs Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and stays closed on weekends, but during its hours, the staff provides help with daily needs, handles medication, manages symptoms, and looks after things like meals, special diets, and laundry, with staff offering transportation, family support, and even helping folks dress, bathe, and take part in daily activities if they need it, all while keeping the environment safe with 24-hour supervision and a quick call system for emergencies.
There's a long list of simple comforts and amenities, like private rooms with air conditioning, cable TV, kitchenettes, Wi-Fi, telephones, and even furnished rooms, and then there are the public spaces like walking paths, gardens, a fitness room, library, arts and crafts rooms, activity and music rooms, and outdoor common areas, with the community coming together for movie nights and resident-run programs. The hospice cares deeply about the spiritual and emotional well-being of both patients and families, including bereavement support for those left behind, and offers special programs for veterans and community partnerships, being part of the We Honor Veterans campaign and providing unique support for those who've served.
Certified Nursing Assistants, Licensed Practical Nurses, Registered Nurses, a Spiritual Care Coordinator, Bereavement Specialist, social workers, and a dedicated Director of Nursing (RN) and General Manager (LMSW) all work as a team, handling everything from pain relief and symptom management to spiritual care and companionship, with family-centered decisions figuring into all planning, so both patient and family feel involved and respected every step of the way. Memory care and dementia care services mean folks with mild cognitive issues get extra help in a secure environment, and everyone's encouraged to live each moment with as much comfort, dignity, and peace as possible. Housekeeping, laundry, dining with chef involvement, concierge services, and move-in help round out what's available, and the group provides bereavement support and social work services right alongside the medical care, with help spread across a 50-mile radius into places like Sandpoint, Naples, and Moyie Springs, always with a simple mission of honoring the rights and wishes of those in their care. With a 5-star patient rating and a long history in northern Idaho, Auburn Crest Bonners Ferry Hospice keeps its focus on people, family, and the value of each day, providing teamwork and personalized support for terminally ill patients and their loved ones.
