Meadow Ranch sits at Meadow Ranch Avenue, near Howard and Bosanko in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, and offers many types of care for older adults, like independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing home care, and board and care homes, with programs and care units under the same Meadow Ranch name, so you'll find special terms for their common areas and some of the services. The community is pretty big and serves people aged 55 and over who want an active life or need extra help, and the place takes care to include features for safety and accessibility like step-less entryways, wide doorways and halls, larger toilets, easy-grip fixtures, and radiant heat floors in the homes, cottage-style detached buildings and attached Craftsman townhomes, all built to be energy efficient by ActiveWest Builders so it feels both modern and comfortable. There are many services, though not all of them are listed, but they do mention help with activities of daily life, medication management, meals, and personal care, plus short-term respite care for caregivers, and laundry, housekeeping, move-in help, and even dry cleaning.
The people who live there get a 24-hour call system for emergencies, supervision, and regular health monitoring, which gives some peace of mind, especially for residents in the memory care programs, where they have secure environments and activities made for people with Alzheimer's or dementia and features meant to stop wandering and keep people safe. There's also medical and rehabilitative care for those who need it, along with continuing care for those planning to stay through different stages of life, and you'll find different spaces for gathering with other residents, like arts and activity rooms, a game room, library, and a fitness room with regular classes and events, so people can stay busy if they want to. The clubhouse has an exercise room, reading area, catering kitchen, and a multi-purpose activity room, and outdoors there are walking and biking trails, green spaces, a garden, orchard, a big old barn from the 1940s, and even a windmill that's been part of the area for around 80 years, all aimed at keeping a rural, quiet feeling while still being in reach of grocery stores, medical offices, shops, parks, and main roads.
Inside the private living spaces, folks get things like kitchenettes, private bathrooms, air conditioning, cable TV, internet, telephones, and some nice touches like fireplaces and big front porches. Meals can be had in a dining room or in a restaurant-style setting, and there are choices for people with allergies or special diets, plus snacks and all-day dining for more flexibility. The community runs regular activities from gardening and wine afternoons to potlucks and holiday get-togethers and has a homeowners association that helps keep snow cleared, looks after front landscaping, and takes care of the grounds. Even with all these features, there aren't any public reviews listed and some of the details about services and amenities aren't fully spelled out, but Meadow Ranch aims to make a place where older adults can live as active and connected as they like, with support always close by if they need it.
