Overview of Wellspring Meadows Assisted Living

Wellspring Meadows Assisted Living is a 32-bed residential community at 9873 North Buttercup Lane in Hayden, Idaho. Administered by Kurt Neely, the facility serves Kootenai County through two houses, Buttercup and Syringa, and has maintained continuous operation since 2005. The campus provides couples’ suites, private rooms, and semi-private rooms within a secured memory care environment.

The community is regulated by the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare and does not receive a CMS star rating. Records from 2019 to 2023 show a citations-per-inspection rate of 2.7, which is 21% below the Idaho state average. However, historical surveys noted challenges including unreported bruising, inadequate night shift staffing for transfers, and unsecured oxygen cylinders. A July 2023 follow-up survey, the most recent on record, cited deficiencies regarding unlatched memory care gates, a lack of resident activities due to staff vacancies, and improper medication refrigerator temperatures.

Healthcare support is provided 24/7, featuring emergency pull-cord systems and medication management. The clinical model coordinates basic activities of daily living and cognitive support for residents with dementia, though past records noted inconsistencies in RN change-of-condition assessments and psychotropic medication reviews. Medicaid is accepted, providing financial accessibility for eligible seniors in the Coeur d’Alene–Hayden area.

The facility offers a residential-scale setting with three meals prepared daily by an on-site chef.

Social programming typically includes seasonal celebrations and themed parties, though recent inspections identified a need for more consistent activity leadership. With a Walk Score of 46, the facility is centrally located in Hayden, allowing for some pedestrian access to local services.

Prospective residents and their representatives should request the most current inspection status from the Bureau of Facility Standards, as no public reviews appear in the record for 2024 or 2025. During an in-person visit, prioritize checking the latching mechanisms of the memory care gates in both buildings and ask for details regarding current staffing levels and the activity calendar.
