Valley Vista Care Center Of Sandpoint sits in a quiet neighborhood of Sandpoint, Idaho, and serves as a non-profit, faith-based senior living community. The community accepts both Medicare and Medicaid, offers a full range of care from independent and assisted living to skilled nursing, long-term care, and short-term rehabilitation. Residents get help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication management, and have 24-hour supervision with a call system, and nursing support for 12 to 16 hours every day. Valley Vista welcomes people living with Alzheimer's, dementia, traumatic brain injury, behavioral issues, or chronic illnesses, and it's known for its high staff-to-resident ratio and staff with special certifications such as certified dementia practitioners and behavior care training. There's a gender-segregated behavior program and staff put effort into creating a safe, homelike space where family furnishings are welcome.
The center features well-furnished private suites with kitchenettes, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and private bathrooms, as well as common spaces for socializing and relaxation. Residents eat in a dining room with restaurant-style service and menu choices for special diets. Day-to-day life includes scheduled activities, music events, movie theater showings, gardening, and spiritual programs. There's a well-stocked library, activity rooms for arts and crafts, and a fitness room. The state-of-the-art therapy gym and heated therapy pool support physical, occupational, and speech therapy needs for rehab or ongoing medical care, and therapists are all licensed and well trained, with over 73 years of experience on staff. The therapy department uses individual sessions and modern equipment, and can help with things like diabetes management, balance training, memory retraining, ergonomic and home assessments, repetitive strain treatments, and joint exercises. Valley Vista provides transportation for medical appointments, errands, and social outings. The grounds include gardens and an outdoor space for programs, and the center offers a safe environment with an emergency alert system, rehabilitation services for in-patient and out-patient therapy, and both short- and long-term skilled nursing care.
