The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare is responsible for regulating all senior care options in the state. According to their website, "A Residential Care or Assisted Living facility is a facility or residence, however named, operated on either a profit or nonprofit basis for the purpose of providing necessary supervision, personal assistance, meals, and lodging to three (3) or more adults not related to the owner."

Boise's overall cost of living is 7% below the national average. And long-term care prices are equally affordable. A private, one-bedroom in a Boise assisted living facility averages $3,270 a month, according to a recent Genworth Financial survey on long-term care. The national average is $3,261. For a private room in Boise nursing home, expect to pay $235 a day on average--a semi-private averages $206. These averages are only slightly higher than the national nursing home averages.
