Overview of Caring Hearts Assisted Living

Nason Alice owns Caring Hearts Assisted Living, a 46-bed senior community located at 3480 E Center St in Pocatello, Idaho. Schritter Kyllee serves as the administrator for the two-year-old facility, which offers assisted living, memory care, and short-term respite stays inside a two-story building. An internal elevator connects the floors so residents can reach the main dining room and private rooms without walking up or down stairs.

The day-to-day routine covers lodging, meals, and personal care. State inspection records show that regulators have cited the facility for issues involving medication handling, infection control, life safety systems, and kitchen standards, which prompted subsequent corrective actions. The property sits in a car-dependent area with a walk score of 3 out of 100, meaning staff and visitors must rely on vehicles for standard errands.

Prospective representatives exploring local care options can contact the office to discuss open beds and Medicaid eligibility.

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.
