Courtyard At Coeur D‘Alene

2100 E Sherman Ave, Coeur D'alene, ID 83814
Overview of Courtyard at Coeur D‘alene

Courtyard At Coeur D’Alene is a 64-bed assisted living, independent living, and memory care facility at 2100 E Sherman Avenue in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. It’s been operating for 30 years, which puts it in the top tier for longevity in the state. Medicaid is accepted.

The facility offers organized activities, dining, fitness programming, and memory care alongside assisted living and independent living options. Pets are allowed. The Walk Score is 48, meaning some walkable services nearby but you need a car for most errands.

In just 2 years, the facility accumulated 48 violations. The Idaho state average for facilities of this type is 24. This facility is at exactly double.

Averaged annually, it’s 24 deficiencies per year against a state average of 12. Per individual inspection, it’s 12 violations against a state average of 6.

In October 2024, a life safety survey found multiple fire suppression failures, non-operational emergency lighting, unsafe walking surfaces, and incomplete evacuation drills. In November 2024, a complaint investigation confirmed the facility failed to evaluate and track a resident’s behavioral issues, including aggression.

In October 2025, a follow-up inspection found 22 repeat deficiencies. Unsecured toxic chemicals, incomplete medication administration, infection control failures, inadequate staffing, and missing certifications.

The history of operating long-term doesn’t offset documented safety failures, medication errors, infection control breaches, and inadequate staffing. The deficiency pattern alone is disqualifying for many families.

Overview of Serenity Place Residential Care

Sixteen beds, sixteen years.; those two numbers tell you Serenity Place Residential Care in Lewiston is small by design, and it’s been running that way long enough to have real staying power. The community sits at 1917 17th Avenue, administered by Cook Joy.

With only 16 residents at capacity, staff-to-resident interaction tends to run closer than at a larger facility, and the care model reflects that: assistance with daily living tasks, medication oversight, and monthly registered nurse supervision, backed by around-the-clock support. Walk Score lands at 64, moderately walkable, enough that some errands are realistically doable on foot, with a decent mix of amenities nearby.

Daily life runs on a few concrete pillars: transportation services, personal care support, a wellness program, and home-cooked meals rather than something more institutional. Activities fill out the calendar, and staff come background-checked and trained in first aid and CPR. Regulatory attention here has spanned several routine categories: medication management, fire-safety systems, emergency preparedness, documentation, dietary service, and general housekeeping, the standard spread inspectors look at across residential care broadly.

Serenity Place Residential Care is a small, well-established setting built around close staff contact and daily practical support, in a Lewiston neighborhood where getting around on foot is genuinely feasible for at least some of the day-to-day.

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 119 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.
