Overview of Heritage Senior Living

Heritage Senior Living of Soda Springs is a 24-bed residential community located at 170 Torgeson Drive in Soda Springs, Idaho. Managed by executive director Cody Merrell, the facility serves Caribou County and specializes in assisted living and memory support. The property is situated in a rural setting near the foothills, approximately 0.6 miles from local healthcare providers such as Caribou Medical Center and Torgesen Park.

State regulatory records from the Idaho Bureau of Facility Standards show a citations-per-inspection rate of 12.4, which is 57% above the Idaho state average. A follow-up inspection in February 2025 documented four recurring deficiencies, including failures to administer medications as ordered, inadequate temperature monitoring for medication refrigerators, and a lack of formalized behavior plans for residents exhibiting refusal behaviors. Earlier surveys also identified concerns regarding incomplete staff background checks, unsafe chemical storage, and fire safety violations.

The clinical model provides 24-hour oversight and personal care services, including medication distribution and daily wellness monitoring. While the facility coordinates specialized memory care, past reports have highlighted significant challenges in managing staff-to-resident ratios and investigating allegations of staff abuse. Medicaid is accepted at this location, although specific pricing details are not listed in available data and should be confirmed directly with the community.

The residential environment includes community spaces designed for socialization, with meals and medications overseen by a resident care coordinator. Daily life is supported by provided housekeeping and laundry services, with an activities calendar intended to promote resident engagement. Families should note that the current administrator, Cody Merrell, is responsible for the daily operational oversight and coordination of resident needs alongside the nursing team.

Interested families should contact the Bureau of Facility Standards to verify the current status of the deficiencies cited in the February 2025 follow-up survey. Prospective representatives are encouraged to ask the administrator directly about the outcome of past complaint investigations regarding resident rights and to verify the current schedule for staff training and background check renewals during an in-person visit.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Idaho

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Idaho?

Assisted living in Idaho supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Idaho?

Assisted living in Idaho is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Idaho Medicaid cover assisted living?

Idaho Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Idaho) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 123 assisted living facilities in Idaho. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Idaho?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Idaho, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Idaho?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
