Assisted Living in Boise, Idaho
"We have promised ourselves that we shall always treat our residents as we would our own loved ones. Nothing less than our best will do."
This is a simple promise that the staff at Summer Wind — and throughout Emeritus Senior Living communities — has shared since 1993, when our community first opened its doors. It's a simple promise to be compassionate and kind, understanding and respectful — a promise to become extended family to the seniors entrusted in our care and to our retirees who have chosen our community for its active lifestyle.
Right at Home
Set on two acres of beautifully landscaped grounds with a courtyard, lovely gardens and walking trails, Summer Wind is considered to be one of the premier senior living communities in the Greater Boise area. Located close to I-84, our community offers 58 apartments on one floor for easy access. Here our residents — in many cases, with their pets — enjoy retirement living. Yet should you need a helping hand, we also offer complete tailor-made assisted living services provided by our cheerful, 24-hour staff and our on-site nurse, who is here every day from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. We've designed our services to focus on wellness, helping you maintain or improve your health, and our staff offers the assistance you need while respecting your independence.
New friends, new beginnings
Our common areas — including our lovely dining room, Library and TV room — give residents and their loved ones the opportunity to get to know one another. We also offer a wide range of activities each month, including trips to various museums, the World Center for Birds of Prey, Art in the Park and the Christmas Lights Tour during the Holidays. Summer Wind is conveniently located in a residential area close to several shopping centers, banks, Veterans Park and the Boise River. Located near the downtown area, Summer Wind provides easy freeway access to St. Luke's and St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center and is close to a nursing home rehabilitation facility if ever needed.
