Orchard Ridge Senior Living, located at 624 W. Harrison Ave. in downtown Coeur d'Alene, sits on a 12-acre campus with park-like grounds and gardens that offer older adults a quiet place to walk or sit outdoors if they like, and being sponsored by 20 area churches, it's a faith-based, nonprofit community that follows Christian values and has more than 100 years of experience caring for seniors from all walks of life. When someone needs help, staff provide round-the-clock care for assisted living and memory care residents, and the campus includes spaces with 69 assisted living rooms and 34 rooms in a secured memory care community that's built for residents dealing with Alzheimer's disease or dementia, offering gentle help with daily things like bathing, dressing, medication, and incontinence care, along with nursing support and physical, occupational, and speech therapy if needed. People living here can have private or semiprivate rooms with large bathrooms, self-adjusting climate control, kitchenettes, cable TV, and WiFi, and there are apartments in studio or one-bedroom sizes-about 323 to 506 square feet-with storage space and emergency call systems for safety, plus accessible bathrooms and entrances for anyone who needs them.
The community's staff take care of meals, laundry, housekeeping, and offer access to a salon and barbershop, a fitness center, a games room, and several lounges so folks can be as social or private as they want, and daily activities and events are planned on-site, with safe outdoor areas, patios, and gardens for fresh air and visiting with friends or family. A special focus remains on serving people with memory loss, providing secured spaces for those living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and there's a careful process to plan care together with families. For independent seniors who qualify, Orchard Ridge provides one-bedroom apartments subsidized through HUD, with about 154 units set aside for low-income elders, some of whom pay less thanks to charitable support, and the entire place encourages a sense of belonging, runs pet-friendly housing so folks can bring their pets, and makes sure things like washers, dryers, cable, WiFi, doormen, and gated entries are all available. The main building has two stories, with rental choices spanning apartments, townhomes, condos, and homes in up to four-bedroom designs, always keeping everything easy to access, and the community is especially designed to help seniors who need some, but not total, nursing care with kindness and faith at its core.
