Country Time Assisted Living sits in the heart of Star, Idaho, tucked away on a quiet property with walking paths along a running stream and two peaceful ponds, where seniors can find the simple comforts of country living while getting the help they need each day, and what's nice is you'll see residents gathering outside to sit on the patio or spending time in the open kitchen and dining room sharing meals three times daily, while trained caregivers stand by around the clock to help with whatever's needed, whether that's medication reminders, help with feeding tubes or catheters, or just a little extra support moving around. With only 16 private rooms, each with its own bathroom and no shared spaces, folks get plenty of privacy and still enjoy that small-house feel where everyone tends to get to know each other, and you'll find that the families often say the staff feel more like relatives than formal employees since many of the caregivers have worked here for years, which helps create a steady and comfortable atmosphere that makes it easier for new residents to settle in and feel like they belong.
Almost everything you'd need is offered right at Country Time, whether it's in-house podiatrist or doctor visits, help coordinating transportation to medical appointments, or even getting your hair done by someone coming right in, plus the staff can connect residents with home health and hospice when needed so they can stay put even if their health needs change. For those who want to keep pets, the community welcomes animals and can provide a hand with pet care, which isn't easy to find in senior living homes. Social activities run every day, both inside with crafts or movies and outside with outings to local attractions, and with the fenced backyard, walking paths, and an easy-to-access common area with a fireplace, there's spaces for everyone to gather or enjoy some quiet time alone, depending on what suits them. Meals get served family-style and folks can personalize their suites with their own furniture and mementos to feel more at home, and for those who like the outdoors, having a fenced backyard with a running stream right off the house is a touch that helps many feel at ease.
There are independent senior living units, too-each one's got two bedrooms, two baths, a large living space with a fireplace, a fenced yard, and even its own garage, so seniors wanting more independence but still close to extra help can find a good fit. Country Time Assisted Living is licensed by the state, offers a high standard of safety and care, and because it keeps the group small, friendships form between residents and staff in a way that's tough to match in larger settings-all things considered, it's a warm, longstanding place where older adults can get help with daily tasks, feel included in daily life, and enjoy both comfort and independence in a country setting.
