The Terraces of Boise

The Terraces of Boise is a senior care campus at 5301 East Warm Springs Ave in Boise, Idaho, in Ada County, where more than one level of care is offered under separate licenses. State and federal records connect the campus to an Idaho residential assisted living facility license (RC-1115) issued by the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare and to a CMS-certified skilled nursing facility (CMS certification number 135141).

This page covers the campus as a whole, so families can see the assisted living side and the nursing side in one place. Records show 48 skilled nursing beds certified by CMS and 72 licensed assisted living beds on the state license, for a combined capacity of about 120. The assisted living license includes 25 secured beds, which in Idaho is how a residential assisted living facility indicates a locked or secured area for residents with dementia who may be at risk of wandering.

The assisted living license lists the resident groups it is approved to serve as people living with Alzheimer's disease or other dementia, older adults (elderly), adults with mental illness, adults with traumatic brain injury, and adults with physical disabilities. Having both levels on one campus means a resident whose needs change may be able to move between assisted living and nursing care without leaving the community, although each move depends on an assessment and available space.

Its website lists services and features including hospice care coordination, short-term rehabilitation, long-term care, salon or barber services, pet-friendly living, transportation services, outdoor courtyard, patio or garden space, private rooms, and speech therapy. 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 2 out of 5 (below average), with 1 for health inspections, 5 for staffing, and 4 for quality measures on the same five-star scale. Its most recent standard health inspection on record was on December 19, 2025, with 13 health deficiencies cited in that rating cycle. The facility reported about 5.1 total nursing hours per resident per day.

CMS currently displays its abuse icon for this facility, which CMS uses for nursing homes cited for abuse or for potential abuse in recent inspections. CMS reports that the facility has a resident council. Star ratings and inspection reports change over time, and the full reports, including any fines, are available on Medicare's Care Compare website. On the assisted living side, residents typically get help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing and medications, while the skilled nursing side provides 24-hour nursing care under a physician's orders for residents with higher medical needs.

The state assisted living licensing record does not list the facility as accepting Medicaid for assisted living, so families should confirm payment options, such as private pay or long-term care insurance, directly. For medical care, St. Luke's Boise Medical Center is about 4.8 miles away in a straight line, and St. Luke’s Rehabilitation Hospital is about 4.9 miles away. The nearest pharmacy in OpenStreetMap data is Walgreens, about 2.9 miles away.

Actual driving distances are longer, and families should ask how the facility coordinates doctor visits, prescriptions and transportation. When visiting The Terraces of Boise, it helps to ask how care needs are assessed at move-in and reviewed over time, which services are included in the daily or monthly rate and which cost extra, how staffing works on nights and weekends, and what happens if a resident's needs change.

Seeing the building at a mealtime and talking with current residents or family members gives a fuller picture than a single tour. Local Senior Advisor is a free service to families, and a local advisor can help compare Boise options and set up visits.
