Bear Lake Manor at 855 Boise St., Montpelier, ID 83254, has 37 beds and offers seniors assisted living, adult day care, board and care home options, and comprehensive health care services, so folks can find the type of help they need in one place, whether that's long-term living, short breaks, or specialized medical care. Residents can choose between private, semi-private, studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom units, and many rooms have spacious closets, cable TV, private phone access, and full or half baths, with the choice to use furniture provided or bring personal pieces from home, which helps keep things comfortable and familiar, and some rooms can be tailored to meet different care needs as health changes over time. The facility feels home-like with cozy living areas, a fireplace, and indoor common spaces where people can gather for conversation, plus there's a walking path outside and a well-maintained garden where folks enjoy fresh air or join group activities.
Bear Lake Manor serves home-cooked meals in a group dining room or in residents' rooms, and meal plans include accommodations for allergies and diets like diabetes, so meals don't become a source of worry, and the in-house chefs and meal planners focus on keeping food nutritious and satisfying. Because it's easy to lose track of time and appointments, the facility has activity programs like movie nights, fitness classes, organized group events, devotional activities, and even trips offsite for folks who want to go out with some extra support, all meant to keep life interesting and help people stay active and social as they like. There's a fitness center where seniors can exercise at their own pace, spaces for socializing in common areas, and a licensed beautician visits often for folks wanting barber or salon services, which brings in a bit of outside normalcy.

Staff are known around the area for being friendly, helpful, and kind, and they try hard to get to know each resident and set up a personalized care plan, working together to make sure people feel safe and heard, and in the memory care areas, they use safety features and special programs to cut down on confusion and wandering, making things a bit easier for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia.
