Overview of Copper Summit Assisted Living

A 16-bed community offering assisted living, adult day care, nursing care, and respite care in Pocatello, Idaho, is Copper Summit Assisted Living. Bell T Shane administers the facility. Nestled at 2424 Birdie Thompson Drive in a residential neighborhood, the one-story home has been operating for 13 years.

As a smaller, more intimate setting, Copper Summit Assisted Living provides an environment where occupants may expect closer staff-resident interactions and a calmer atmosphere than larger facilities. It supplies support for daily living activities: bathing, dressing, medication management, and meal assistance. The residential location has a walk score of 10 in a car-dependent area where most errands require transportation, though the neighborhood setting provides a residential ambiance. The Medicaid coverage makes the home an option for occupants whose care is covered through the program. Respite care services are offered for those needing momentary short-term stays. For families handling care needs, adult day care services provide another layer of flexibility.

State inspections by Idaho’s Department of Health and Welfare have tracked compliance areas, particularly in personnel background check documentation and adherence to infection control practices during care procedures. Copper Summit Assisted Living also has a history with fire and life safety reviews, demonstrating active regulatory oversight typical for senior care communities.

For those wanting to know more about room options, specific amenities, daily activities, dining services, staffing details, and current pricing, scheduling a tour would paint a clearer picture of life in the home. The facility team can elaborate on individual care needs, pricing structure, and service offerings.
