The Treasure Valley senior care directory

What is in the Treasure Valley senior care directory?

Every IDHW-licensed residential assisted living facility in Ada, Canyon, Gem, Boise and Owyhee counties with its survey and enforcement history, plus every CMS-certified nursing home, home health agency and hospice with an office there.

Where does the directory's data come from?

Assisted living records come from IDHW's Residential Assisted Living Facility Search, retrieved November 6, 2026; nursing homes from CMS Care Compare (October 1, 2026); home health and hospice from CMS's provider files.

We never copy facility websites, reviews or marketing. Prices and vacancies are not in any public record, so they are not here either.

Which facilities have their own pages?

Each of the 93 senior-serving licensed RALFs and 24 nursing homes has a page with its license, survey or inspection record, nearby alternatives and tour questions; disability residences and proposed buildings appear as roster rows.

How should we use the directory to build a shortlist?

Filter the assisted living roster by city, sort by secured beds or licensed beds, then open three or four facility pages and read their survey history, enforcement actions and tour questions before you call.

For nursing homes, sort by CMS rating and then compare staffing hours and the latest deficiency count on each page. For home health and hospice, call two or three agencies and ask how soon they can start.

Does the directory include certified family homes?

No: certified family homes are certified by a separate IDHW program and do not appear in the RALF facility search, so they are not in our roster; IDHW publishes regional CFH vacancy lists on its certified family home page.

Our certified family home guide explains how they work and how they differ from a RALF.

How often is the directory updated?

Each rebuild pulls IDHW's facility search and CMS's latest files; the retrieval date is printed on every listing so you can tell how fresh it is.

If something on a facility page looks out of date, check the live IDHW search or Care Compare, then tell us so we can rebuild sooner.

Why are some licensed residences not given their own page?

The 13 residences licensed for adults with developmental disabilities or mental illness are not senior placements, so they stay as roster rows, and the 8 proposed buildings have no license to describe yet.

They are listed so the roster matches IDHW's count exactly; each row carries a note explaining why it has no page.
