Meadows Assisted Living Center sits at 16 Airport Road in Salmon, Idaho, where neighbors see fields and mountains and folks find a quieter kind of comfort. The place has 11 beds and gives seniors a safe place to stay when living on their own isn't the best idea anymore. Staff help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and moving around, plus they manage medications and talk with doctors, dentists, optometrists, therapists, and pharmacists so residents don't have to worry about health care details slipping through the cracks. There's care for incontinence and somebody nearby all hours of the day and night, with a 24-hour call system in every room and round-the-clock supervision. The center offers board and care home options as well as the usual assisted living services, all approved by Idaho's licensing for residential care and assisted living.
The property feels homey, with walking paths, a barber and salon, a garden for fresh air, and regular movie nights that give folks something to look forward to besides just meals and medication. People can join in activities every day, and sometimes the community sponsors events, so there's always something going on for anyone who wants to take part. Those who need to get to doctor's appointments or want to go shopping or meet friends at a local restaurant can use arranged transportation. The facility sits close to the hospital, the veteran's clinic, and different shops in town, making outings easier for residents. Meadows tries to help each person hold on to their independence, pitching in only as much as someone needs, and the staff take care to meet the physical, emotional, and social needs of each resident.
The goal at Meadows Assisted Living Center is to give older adults and people with disabilities a place that feels as much like home as possible, while still having the safety and support that comes with supervision. Residents get health care as needed, meals that are balanced and nutritious, a clean and peaceful home, and daily chances to enjoy company or quiet. Each person is respected for their choices and their right to privacy is protected, so while there's always support nearby, people can still keep their dignity and independence for as long as possible.
