Overview of Diamond Peak of Pocatello

Diamond Peak of Pocatello runs as a combined memory care and assisted living community at 5685 Bannock Hwy in Pocatello, Idaho. Webb Wendy administers the facility. Nine years in, it’s still a small operation: just 15 beds total.

Fifteen beds is small even by memory care standards, which usually means fewer residents per staff member and a more contained, familiar environment day to day. The tradeoff shows up in location. The neighborhood’s Walk Score sits at 7 out of 100, about as car-dependent as it gets, so walking to a pharmacy or a park isn’t really an option for anyone visiting.

Medicaid is accepted here, which matters for families trying to figure out how they’ll actually cover costs over time. On the regulatory side, inspections at Diamond Peak have tended to focus on medication management, fire-safety systems, and fall and injury prevention. These are common, routine areas of focus, the kind of thing regulators check at facilities of every size, not anything unusual to this one.

Small, memory-care-focused, and Medicaid-accepting: that’s the core of what the data shows. For a family weighing a compact setting where a resident might get more individual attention against a location that requires a car for basically everything outside the building, Diamond Peak of Pocatello reads as a facility built around intimacy of scale rather than size or amenities.

Overview of Pleasant Valley Shelter Home

Nine beds and twenty-five years of operating history: Pleasant Valley Shelter Home in Lewiston is small by design and has stuck around long enough to prove the model works. It offers both memory care and assisted living from the same address on 17th Avenue.

Nine residents means staff attention runs closer than at a larger facility, and the specifics back that up: meals provided daily, so cooking isn’t something residents have to think about, and staff on hand 24 hours a day for anything that comes up. Indoor common spaces give residents somewhere to actually gather, not just pass through.

One detail worth highlighting specifically: diabetes management support, including help monitoring insulin levels. That’s a targeted clinical service, not a generic amenity, and it matters for families whose loved one needs that kind of ongoing attention.

Walk Score comes in at 64, moderately walkable, enough that some errands are realistically doable on foot alongside a decent mix of nearby amenities.

Regulatory attention here has spanned emergency preparedness, staffing credentials, documentation, and general housekeeping, the standard range inspectors look at across residential care broadly.

Pleasant Valley Shelter Home is a small, long-running memory care and assisted living community built around close daily support and genuine clinical attention to conditions like diabetes, in a walkable pocket of Lewiston.

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.
