Overview of Heritage Senior Living

Heritage Senior Living provides assisted living and memory care in Preston, ID. Assisted living offers help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication, while memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for a resident at risk of wandering. Because both care levels are available, Heritage Senior Living can suit someone whose needs may grow over time without requiring a move to another community.

The community has 62 beds and private rooms, giving each resident a single private living space. Three homemade meals are approved by a dietitian, so meal planning receives review from a nutrition professional. A registered nurse and a doctor are on staff, providing nursing and medical support within the community.

Medicaid is accepted, giving eligible residents a potential payment option when personal savings may not cover a long stay. Heritage Senior Living is operated by JNS Senior Living, and Merrell Cody serves as the administrator. A Walk Score of 68 means the area is somewhat walkable, with some errands possible on foot for a resident who no longer drives.
