Silver Wood Village Assisted Living sits in Lewiston, Idaho, and offers care for up to 14 residents in a well-established setting, and you'll find both studio and suite layouts here, many of them furnished, with features like emergency alert systems, cable TV, internet, and phones in rooms, so folks have some comforts that matter to them, and for those who need help, the staff can step in with medication management, bathing, dressing, transfers, and other daily needs, all with respect and kindness. This non-profit community, run by the Good Samaritan Society, provides assisted living, memory care for those with dementia or Alzheimer's, independent living, skilled nursing, and even home care if needed, so residents can stay in one place as their needs change, and that sense of continuity means a lot for families and residents alike.
Here, there are services for both short-term rehab and long-term needs, whether you need skilled nursing after surgery, some outpatient therapy, help recovering from a stroke, lymphedema care, or pain management, and there's a whole roster of trained staff: registered nurses, CNAs, dieticians, pharmacists, social workers, and therapists working in physical, occupational, speech, respiratory, cardiac, and recreational therapy, plus they have support for special diets-things like diabetes or food allergies-which the kitchen team handles with one or two daily prepared meals and a dining room that runs restaurant-style all day, so there's always something for everyone's taste or needs.
With laundry, housekeeping, and maintenance handled for you, and a beauty salon and barber nearby, daily life's easier to keep up with, and folks can get involved in the resident and family councils which help shape what goes on, whether that's planning activities-movie nights, arts and crafts, or garden walks-or weighing in on care ideas, and you'll find the place encourages social time with community rooms, a chapel, a library, an arts area, and even outings because they've got transportation and medical rides available, too.
Memory care takes place in a secured area for safety and peace of mind, and the staff provides 24-hour support and a call system for emergencies, and while the building is not brand new, it's been looked after and you'll find the gardens and paths are kept up nicely, with plenty of places to sit and talk or enjoy the outdoors.
Silver Wood Village accepts both Medicare and Medicaid, making it an option for folks needing different levels of support, and while no place is perfect, you do see involvement from both residents and families, care that's personalized as best as possible, and a staff recognized for compassion, especially for those that want to keep independence but need a hand with daily life.
