Sunterra Springs Riverview

Sunterra Springs Riverview is a skilled nursing facility at 3550 West Americana Terrace in Boise, Idaho, in Ada County. It is certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and appears in the federal nursing home data under CMS certification number 135139, where its ownership is listed as for-profit limited liability company and it is reported as part of the Sunterra Springs group of facilities.

CMS records show it was first approved to provide Medicare and Medicaid services on October 21, 2013. CMS lists 30 certified beds and an average of about 28 residents per day in its most recent reporting period. That is a small nursing facility by Idaho standards, which can mean a quieter building where staff see the same residents day after day. Its website lists services and features including physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, short-term rehabilitation, respite stays, hospice care coordination, private rooms, semi-private rooms, and salon or barber services.

The site also describes round-the-clock nursing or staff coverage. Families should confirm which of these are available for a particular resident, since services can depend on the level of care, insurance and current staffing. In the CMS Care Compare data processed September 1, 2026, the facility has an overall star rating of 4 out of 5 (above average), with 3 for health inspections, 3 for staffing, and 5 for quality measures on the same five-star scale.

Its most recent standard health inspection on record was on January 9, 2026, with 11 health deficiencies cited in that rating cycle. The facility reported about 4.5 total nursing hours per resident per day. Star ratings and inspection reports change over time, and the full reports, including any fines, are available on Medicare's Care Compare website. In Idaho, nursing facilities are licensed by the Department of Health and Welfare and inspected on behalf of CMS, and the inspection results feed the federal star ratings above.

CMS lists the facility's certification as medicare. For medical care, St. Luke's Boise Medical Center is about 1.4 miles away in a straight line, and St. Luke’s Rehabilitation Hospital is about 1.4 miles away. The nearest pharmacy in OpenStreetMap data is Rite Aid, about 0.7 miles away. Actual driving distances are longer, and families should ask how the facility coordinates doctor visits, prescriptions and transportation.

When visiting Sunterra Springs Riverview, it helps to ask whether a bed is available for short-term rehabilitation or long-term care, how therapy schedules are set and how progress is shared with family, how staffing works on nights and weekends, and what the discharge planning process looks like. Seeing the building at a mealtime and talking with current residents or family members gives a fuller picture than a single tour.
