Overview of Palouse Hills Assisted Living

Palouse Hills Assisted Living offers assisted living and memory care in Moscow, ID. Assisted living includes daily skills assistance, while memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for residents with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, making the community a possible fit for someone who needs that level of structure.

The community has 60 beds and offers studio and one-bedroom units. Studio units place living and sleeping in one space, while one-bedroom units provide a separate bedroom. Transportation and appointment scheduling are available, helping residents arrange appointments and get to them.
