Overview of Overland Court Generations Memory Care

Overland Court Generations Memory Care is a 38-bed community at 10172 West Smoke Ranch Drive in Boise, Idaho. Operated by Integral SL Management, LLC under the Generations brand, the facility is led by administrator Grace Hearn. The community focuses exclusively on dementia care and has operated under a new license since a change of ownership in June 2025.

State oversight is conducted by the Idaho Bureau of Facility Standards, with no applicable CMS star rating. Following the 2025 ownership transition, an initial licensure survey in October identified a citations-per-inspection rate of 15.0, which is 90% above the Idaho state average. Findings included a significant census discrepancy where 36 residents were present despite a licensed capacity of 23. Additional citations involved missing staff background checks, overdue fire alarm inspections, and food served at temperatures below safety requirements. No fines or enforcement actions are currently on record under the new management.

The facility provides 24-hour staffing and an emergency call system within a secured perimeter. Clinical support includes the “Elevate” culinary program and medication management, though the 2025 survey noted gaps in physician-ordered diets and nursing assessments following health status changes. Medicaid is accepted, while Medicare is not.

Residences include housekeeping, laundry, and utilities, with pets permitted. Shared spaces feature a health and wellness center, a library, and activity rooms. The “Vibrant Life” social calendar includes group exercise, religious services, and outdoor walking paths. Scheduled transportation is available for residents throughout Ada County. With a Walk Score of 5, the location is car-dependent.

Families should visit the campus to evaluate the 2026 quality standards. It is important to confirm the current licensed capacity against the actual resident count and verify that background checks and fire safety inspections have been brought into full compliance since the 2025 survey.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Boise, ID

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 nursing home care?

Yes — Idaho Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.

What is nursing home care?

Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses, rehabilitation services, and long-term custodial care for residents with significant health or functional needs.

How many nursing homes are listed on this page?

This page features 10 nursing homes in Boise, ID. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right nursing home in Boise, ID?

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 Boise, ID, 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 nursing homes in Boise, ID?

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.
