HumanGood Idaho operates The Terraces of Boise as a nonprofit, multi-level continuing care retirement community comprising 72 beds across independent living, assisted living, nursing home, and secured memory care settings. Established in 2012 and administered by Severns Judson, the facility holds Idaho license RC-1115 and serves residents ages 62 and older. Located at 5301 East Warm Springs Avenue, 6.3 miles from Boise’s center, the campus operates in a somewhat walkable area (score 34) and maintains 91% occupancy, exceeding state average by substantial margins.
The facility exclusively serves Medicare and private-pay residents; Medicaid is not accepted. The average length of stay in the nursing home segment reaches 56 days.
The facility achieves a 4-star overall CMS rating, 42.9% above Idaho benchmark. Both health inspection (4 stars, +25.0%) and staffing (4 stars, +47.1%) earn strong ratings.
Staffing delivery is particularly robust: total adjusted nursing hours average 5 hours 25 minutes per resident daily (ranked 2nd statewide), with licensed practical nurses providing 1 hour 20 minutes daily; 74% above state average, and registered nurses delivering 1 hour 6 minutes daily, 32% above state norms. Physical therapy averages 9 minutes per resident daily, 50% above state levels.
Staff-to-resident ratio of 3.86:1 substantially exceeds the state average of 1.81:1. Contractors constitute 54.7% of the 139-person workforce.
Quality Measures, however, rate only 2 stars, 48.7% below state average.
Long-stay resident clinical outcomes diverge sharply from staffing metrics. Functional decline scores are 40% worse than state peers. Walking ability deteriorates in 34.5% of long-stay residents, 76% above the state rate. Falls with major injury occur in 6.3% of this population; 127% worse than state norms, and pressure ulcers affect 9.5%, 162% exceeding state benchmarks.
Conversely, weight loss remains at 0.0%, and depressive symptoms of 4.9% improve significantly on state average.
Fire and life safety compliance presents a chronic pattern: eight inspections since 2021 identified 28 total deficiencies, with oxygen cylinder storage violations recurrent across multiple years (2021, 2023, 2025). Other documented issues include incomplete emergency drills, outdated relocation agreements, fire suppression documentation gaps, and blocked electrical panels.
A single $9,000 federal penalty was imposed in December 2023.
Financially, the facility reports $27.0 million in revenue (state’s highest) yet operates with a $669,300 deficit and payroll representing 40% of revenue.
The Terraces of Boise demonstrates exceptional staffing investment alongside deeply problematic long-stay functional decline and persistent compliance deficiencies in fire safety, offset by favorable short-stay rehabilitation outcomes.

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.
