Overview of Magic Valley Manor

Magic Valley Manor is a 37-bed assisted living and behavioral health facility at 210 North Idaho Street in Wendell, Idaho. Administered by Scott and Anita, the community serves Gooding County as a Home for Adult Residential Treatment (HART), providing specialized care for individuals with disabilities and behavioral health needs. The facility is located approximately 10 miles from the North Canyon Medical Center and holds a car-dependent Walk Score.

State regulatory oversight is conducted by the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare. Based on available compliance records, the facility received a Silver award for an excellent survey in 2023. However, families should note that historical records, including a 2021 complaint investigation, involved serious allegations regarding resident rights and the conduct of the current administrator. While the facility remains in good standing with its state license, these past investigations indicate a citations-per-inspection rate of zero for more recent, substantiated regulatory violations in the current reporting cycle.

The care model emphasizes social growth and independence through 24-hour staffing and regular medication reassessments. Services include assistance with activities of daily living, peer support, and specialized behavioral counseling. Safety features integrated into the campus include 24/7 surveillance cameras and a controlled entry access system to prevent unauthorized access while maintaining an “open campus” policy for residents free to leave the grounds.

The residential environment offers private and shared bedrooms, each equipped with a half or full bath. Residents receive home-cooked, dietician-approved meals and snacks served cafeteria-style, alongside weekly housekeeping and laundry services. The social calendar focuses on human connections through recreational activities and weekly religious services. Medicaid is accepted as a funding source for eligible participants.

Interested individuals considering Magic Valley Manor should ask directly about the outcome and resolution of the 2021 complaint investigation, which involved serious resident-rights concerns. Families are encouraged to visit the campus in person to verify current staffing levels and to request the most recent full survey report from the Bureau of Facility Standards.
