Overview of The Cottages of Middleton

There are four care types afforded to clients and residents of The Cottages of Middleton in Middleton, ID, and those are adult day care, memory care, respite care, and assisted living. Participants in the day care program go home nightly, each evening.

Assisted living is the level that covers the tasks of the day that have stopped being manageable alone. Memory care is when there are staff watching a resident in a secured area for someone whose dementia calls for it. Respite care is short-term care that hands the caregiving work to staff for a definite period and then hands it back to the family afterward. That’s what makes respite care respite, rather than a permanent move.

Private rooms are the housing provided here, with 32 beds. The area comes out as car-dependent, with a 36 Walk Score. That means getting pretty much anywhere will need a drive.

Medicaid is the sole named payment route. Eligibility is decided based on the nature of the stay. The administrator here is Thweatt Madison, and Cottages Senior Living I, LLC has the run of the operation.

The community is suited for someone at a stage of dementia where they’re at risk of wandering; it also suits someone who needs daily assistance, and families that need a gap covered while the usual caregiver is unavailable.

Special diets are available, and wheelchair accessibility supports residents who use mobility equipment.

Overview of The Gables of Pocatello Memory Care

The Gables of Pocatello Memory Care is an assisted living and memory care home on South Bannock Highway in Pocatello, Idaho, less than a mile from the city center. It is operated by Gables Holdings, LLC and administered by Foster Joyce. The home has been in operation for 13 years, giving it a long track record in the Pocatello area. It accepts Medicaid, which opens a coverage pathway for families working through the cost of long-term care.

With 16 secured beds, this is a small residence rather than a large campus. That scale tends to mean quieter common areas and closer familiarity between caregivers and residents, which many families weigh heavily when memory loss is part of the picture. All of the units are secured, so the setting is built around residents who benefit from a protected environment.

Memory care is the center of what the home does. The program is built around home-like living spaces and a schedule of memory care activities and day programs designed for residents living with memory impairment. Caregivers are trained in dementia and Alzheimer’s care, and outdoor areas give residents a place to spend time in the open air.

State inspections by the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare have focused largely on operational and safety systems, including medication handling and storage practices, staff screening documentation, and physical safety features of the building. Families touring the home may want to ask how those systems are managed day to day.

The neighborhood scores 32 out of 100 for walkability, so most errands and appointments involve a short drive. For visiting family, the location just off the highway and close to the city center keeps trips straightforward.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care 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.

Does Idaho Medicaid cover memory care?

Idaho Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, 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 memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.

How many memory care communities are listed on this page?

This page features 86 memory care communities in Idaho. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right memory care community 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 memory care communities 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.
