Every listing on this page comes from public records: Idaho Department of Health and Welfare license data for assisted living, CMS data for nursing facilities, and senior-living directories for independent living. The goal is to show what is actually licensed and operating in St. Anthony, so a family can start from a real list instead of advertising.

Hospitals Nearby
Measured in a straight line from the average location of St. Anthony's published communities, the closest hospitals are Madison Memorial Hospital (about 11 miles) and Teton Valley Hospital (about 33 miles), based on OpenStreetMap hospital data. Driving distance and which hospital handles a given emergency can differ, so it is worth asking each community which hospital its residents usually use and how it handles doctor visits and transportation.
Paying for Care
Local Senior Advisor does not yet have verified, community-by-community pricing for Idaho. As a statewide reference, the 2024 CareScout Cost of Care Survey (formerly Genworth) put Idaho's median for assisted living at $4,600 a month, below the national median of $5,900. Actual rates depend on the room, the level of care and the building, so it is worth asking each community for its current pricing and what is included. One of the listings appears as Idaho Medicaid providers in state or federal data, which matters for families planning for Medicaid now or later.

Families who want a wider choice often look at nearby towns as well. The closest other cities with published communities are Rexburg (4 listings, about 12 miles away), Ashton (1 listing, about 14 miles away), and Rigby (3 listings, about 23 miles away), measured between community locations.
Getting Help
Local Senior Advisor is a free service to families. A local advisor can help a family in St. Anthony narrow the list by care needs, budget and location, explain the difference between license types, and set up tours. Before choosing, it helps to visit at a mealtime, ask how care plans are updated when needs change, and confirm in writing what the monthly rate includes.
