Overview of Veranda Senior Living at Barber Station

Operated by The Pennant Group, Inc, Veranda Senior Living at Barber Station is a 100-bed community operating for three years in Boise, Idaho. Located on East Barber Valley Drive, it’s set in a car-dependent area where most errands and outings demand a vehicle.

The facility sits in a quieter part of Boise, away from the busier downtown core, which can attract residents and families preferring a more residential setting. The car-dependent location means visiting family members must plan to drive, and those thinking of a community where they can walk to nearby services or activities will want to check out other options closer to Boise’s walkable neighborhoods.

State inspections have noted themes pertaining to infection control, staffing adequacy, dietary compliance, and resident engagement, plus procedural areas like background check documentation and medication management.

Families considering Veranda Senior Living at Barber Station must ask during their tour how operational areas are managed daily, and request data on the steps taken to address inspection findings. The home welcomes families to visit and tour it to see the space and ask about care offerings, staffing, meals, activities, and daily operations.
