Overview of North Star Assisted & Senior Living

North Star Assisted & Senior Living offers assisted living and independent living in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and taking medication while a resident keeps a private living space. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, so residents who do not need hands on assistance can remain in their own space.

Having both care levels in one community may allow a resident’s needs to grow over time without requiring a move elsewhere. The community is in the Blackwell neighborhood and has 56 beds, creating a smaller setting where residents and staff may get to know one another. Studio, one bedroom, and two bedroom homes are available. A two bedroom home can work for a couple moving together or for someone who wants a companion, while a studio offers one private living space.

Jensen Rachel administers the community, and Stellar Senior Living operates it. The area has a Walk Score of 32 and is dependent on cars, so most errands require a car or a ride. Pets are allowed, which means a resident may bring a pet when moving into the community.

A studio offers one private living space, while a two-bedroom layout can work for a couple moving together or for someone who wants a companion. Pets are allowed, so residents can bring a pet with them.

Overview of Caring Hearts Assisted Living

State inspection records show that regulators have cited the facility for issues involving medication handling, infection control, life safety systems, and kitchen standards, which prompted subsequent corrective actions. The property sits in a car-dependent area with a walk score of 3 out of 100, meaning staff and visitors must rely on vehicles for standard errands.

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.
