My parents were looking to move into an independent living community to lessen the burden of…read morecooking, cleaning, and home maintenance, as well as increasing their social involvement. We toured eight different facilities in Boise and the Garden Plaza of Valley View was by far their favorite. We actually didn't have an appointment and just stopped in to see if we might be able to talk to someone - Pam welcomed us with open arms and gave us a very thorough tour. They joined the waiting list, and moved in a few months later when a space opened up. At this point it has only been a few weeks since their move, but they are extremely happy and we've noticed a difference in their health already, especially with Mom. Her speech and walking have both improved, and we credit the Garden Plaza with that. She has 3 regular meals a day, social interaction, walks more, and she doesn't have the pressures that came with owning and caring for a full-sized home. My folks tell us every day how nice everyone is, from the staff to the residents. They wish they had made the move years ago and say everyone they talk to says the same thing. (Better late than never!) I liken it to living on a land-based cruise ship - all their meals and utilities are included, their unit is cleaned weekly (including towels and linens), there are tons of activities, there's transportation to get them around town, and everything is bundled under one price so they don't have to keep track of a ton of bills (or even this one - they're set up on auto-pay)! It's so nice that my teenage daughter wanted to move there after getting a tour. To say it's been life-changing is an understatement. My parents are thrilled, my siblings and I are thrilled, and a huge load has been lifted from all of us. Since I don't live in Boise, it's an enormous comfort to know they're happy and that people are checking in on them daily. Thank you, thank you, thank you to Pam Dillman and all the wonderful staff and residents at the Garden Plaza of Valley View! (Oh, and there's an AMAZING bakery in the lobby - try the blueberry lemon cake.)

This is a very Special Place for your loved one.. I took…read morecare of My Father for over 8 years before he needed professional care. I also took care of my sweet Aunt until her Dementia became debilitating. Both my father and my aunt went to two separate places in California for their Care. I was so unimpressed and had to actually move my Aunt to another place. Neither of the facilities had an RN on staff or PT. Garden Plaza of Valley View has BOTH! Every time I visit, they are doing something Special for their residents. They even built a Bakery so that the residents can visit and have a sweet treat. If you are considering special care for a loved one, take a tour with Melanie. She is personable and understands how important this transition is for everyone in the family. The Company is locally owned, I believe this makes a difference.

She worked tirelessly to find my dad a place that was perfect for him and, more importantly, affordable for us. She does all the hard work from contacting and emailing people to getting their rates and looking into what facilities provide for their residents. Seriously, I was a nervous wreck when I knew my dad needed more help than what was being provided. Not to mention he can be very difficult to get along with. Having Charity only a text away was incredibly convenient and she helped me navigate whatever I needed. I could go on, but I wanted to keep it brief. I highly recommend Charity at Boise Care Connections, she will get it done for you.

I am Charity Young a registered nurse with a bachelor's degree in nursing from Boise State University. I was born and raised in Boise and enjoy raising my own family in Boise. My first job in healthcare was as a caregiver on an evening shift at an assisted living facility in the valley. I assisted residents at dinner time and then helped them to bed for the night. At the time, I was in nursing school but had no idea which direction within nursing I wanted to go.

She has a growth on her hand and we were asked to have it looked at by dermatologist two weeks ago. We made a dermatology appointment and set up medical transport for the appointment. We went home to Portland, Oregon, and five days later we found out from the hospital that she had been sent to the hospital for the growth on her hand and when they tried to discharge her back to Grace, they refused to allow her to come back. The doctor recommendation at the hospital was to keep the hand wrapped and clean, which is exactly what they've been doing for a year. Now all of a sudden they send her off and they're unwilling to do it or let her return. Disgusting and abusive. They had no reason to do what they did and my family member is 91 years old and she just lost her home., her routine, the familiar staff and residence, with no opportunity for us to even interact with her. This is a violation of her rights. According to idaho state regulations, they're supposed to provide a 30 day notice. we got none. She now has to go into a skilled nursing facility at double the cost to her Her care has not changed since the day they sent her to the hospital. Somehow, they are now magically unable to care for her. Prior to this, I would've said it was fine facility, but at this point, I am so disgusted I would never recommend them to anyone. The nurse there is pushy and rude, and she is the one who sent her to the emergency room and then refused to let her return. It's very sad, and their actions are certainly not in the best interest of our family member. My recommendation would be to not send your family member to Grace.

He was exceptionally friendly and easy to talk to.

I was pleasantly surprised when I received a call the next day with a couple of places to check out less than 3 miles from my home! Could it be true? I checked the first one out and it was dead on to what I had in mind. Within two weeks after speaking with Lloyd and the new place, my Dad has already moved in and is doing much better. The service that Oasis is providing to the Valley is incomparable, and I thank him so much for caring about what he does and helping families. ***** My father has been at his new 'home' for over 4 months now.

During the years she lived at this assisted living facility, she received loving and compassionate care from the staff. Her caregivers were all excellent as well as the the chef, maintenance man, hair stylist and director, Wendy. I consider those staff members who have stayed in board and worked tirelessly with the residents at Paramount to keep them happy and well during the challenging times of the Covid pandemic super heroes. I also so appreciated how kind the staff members were to me and other family members who would stop in to visit grandma. I really think Paramount Parks is one of the best assisted living facilities in Idaho. It's clean, beautifully decorated and in a wonderful location as well. My grandma had nurses from Signature Hospice care for her the last year of her life. Two of those nurses told me that they think Paramount Parks is one of the best facilities in the valley and that really meant a lot since they see patients who reside in many different facilities.

For the most part they were Pretty awesome) then she needed assisted-living until she could get strong enough to go home. It was very important for the siblings to easily visit her, so location was a high priority. After a lot of research and high recommendations we chose Paramount Parks in Eagle. We could not be happier!! This is due, in large part, to Jennifer Hoffman who does a fantastic job helping to run Paramount. She has been exemplary in all her actions and has gone above and beyond all of our hopeful expectations. She helped to make the transition painless, simple and actually kind of fun for Mom. Jenn sets the precedents for the rest of her staff. They are attentive, kind, and on top of the needs of their "family" at Paramount. Mom says she loves the food & having choices (it's not my favorite place to eat but I'm a spoiled foodie, and since she's the one eating there, we are both happy! ) They have the usual activities that most of the nicer places have. But also stand out in other areas, like having a Memory Care Center on site. It is totally separate and very secure. So Nice to know, if ever needed, it would be an easy transition. Mom and the family have been very happy with Paramount Parks. We feel so much gratitude and appreciation towards Paramount Parks. Highly recommend it.
