Retirement Communities -
Boise Seniors Deserve the Very Best

While the area may have a number of retirement communities, Boise’s MorningStar of Boise is considered by many to be one of the finest. We set ourselves apart from other senior living communities with a belief that the human capacity to grow, to learn and to contribute is ageless; and act upon this truth daily, as we care for, inspire and love the residents under our roof.

Over the last few decades, Idaho has attracted lots of new residents including retirees, and the Boise area is one of the more popular destinations. It has a reputation for its beautiful wilderness and gorgeous natural settings as well as a low crime rate and affordability. Temperate mild winters and low humidity make it a pleasant place to live.

Retirement Communities Boise: Discover the Difference

At MorningStar of Boise, we provide independent living and assisted living that includes all of the services, people and programs to promote a healthy, engaged lifestyle. Assisted living is intended for senior who require a “little help” with the ADLs (activities of daily living). Residents receive a Personalized Care Plan to ensure their needs are meet.

In advance of the need for personal care services, independent living residents enjoy a carefree lifestyle in which they no longer need to spend time maintaining a home and enjoy tasty meals they no longer need to cook. If your health does change to the degree our assisted living neighborhood makes more sense, you are already comfortable with our community and caregivers.

MorningStar’s retirement communities across the Western US are distinguished for delivering compassionate care and services. Contact us to learn more about one of the most popular retirement communities in Boise.

    I am an old soul at heart and have always gravitated to seniors. I find their life stories fascinating. Seniors teach me to slow down and focus on what is important in life. I borrow a great deal of strength from them when I find myself faced with a challenge. Interactions with seniors encourage me to be as authentic as possible and appreciate the simple little things. MorningStar values set us apart and drive me to be my best, to do the right thing for the benefit of others. So profound and impactful, when you take time to think about it.

    In serving seniors, there is meaningful work. There is calling. There is passion. There is joy. Upon relocating to Idaho from the East Coast, I sought a senior living company with purpose, passion, values and a great culture. I wanted to be part of a community that makes a difference in the lives of others, where seniors can age gracefully with dignity and individuality, a place full of life, laughter and joy. Once I found MorningStar, I found where I belong.

    The first senior I ever loved was Grandma Darlene and Papa Steve who took me in when I was young and raised me as their own. Just at the point of life where they were to be giving up responsibilities, they took on a huge one (me!) and didn’t bat an eye. I saw firsthand that they were the backbone of everything. Seniors have taught me to make every day count and to do everything with love, grace and good intentions. They also teach me to find the good in every situation. Life is too short to dwell on the things we cannot control.

BRIDGE LOANS

It’s not uncommon for families to be short on funds when transitioning a loved one into a senior community. The ElderLife Bridge Loan allows you to pay for rent and care in the short term while waiting for other funds to come in. Common financial shortfalls include the time that it takes to list and sell a home, or the waiting period before receiving VA Benefits.

The Bridge Loan is designed like a line of credit, bridging the financial shortfall for up to 12 months. The loan is unsecured (no collateral needed) and approved quickly with no penalty for early payoff and affordable interest payments as low as $8 per $1000 borrowed.

To learn more about the ElderLife Bridge Loan, call 877.664.1710 or Click Here.

REVERSE MORTGAGE

When one partner needs assisted living, and the other partner chooses to remain living in a private home, a reverse mortgage may be a good solution to help pay for increased expenses. Without affecting Medicare or Social Security benefits, reverse mortgages allow a homeowner to stay in the home and withdraw from the equity that the couple has built. Mortgage holders get tax-free cash flow as a loan against that equity, a loan that doesn’t need to be repaid until the house is sold or the owner moves out or dies.

Be sure to vet lenders and their terms thoroughly before making any decision. If you would like to be connected to a trusted, licensed reverse mortgage partner, call 877.664.1710.

LONG-TERM CARE INSURANCE

Long-term care insurance helps pay for senior care and protect personal assets by covering expenses up to the amounts set forth in the policy. LTC insurance pays for a variety of services in senior communities, and can offer care options that may not be covered through the federal subsidies of Medicare and Medicaid (see below section).

LTC policies can be complex and it may be difficult to understand and activate your policy. If you have questions about your Long-term Care policy, call 877.664.1710 to be connected with an expert for a free policy review.

SELLING THE HOME

The equity built up in a private home is typically a retiree’s largest asset, making the proceeds from selling extremely helpful when transitioning to a senior community. However, selling a home in a timely manner can be challenging and time-consuming. This is especially true when adult children are not living near to assist.

Many families find it helpful to work with a Real Estate Professional experienced with all aspects of selling a senior’s home. From packing and cleaning to listing and selling, ElderLife’s agents are ready to assist with the entire process to simplify a senior transition. To be connected with a local agent, call 877.664.1710.

SOCIAL SECURITY

Approach Social Security (SS) benefits tactically. Historically, it was wise to take SS benefits early and invest them. Today, that’s not necessarily so. Maximized benefits may best be found through delayed retirement credits. Depending on your birth year, benefits increase by 3-8% annually. If you wait until age 70 to collect, that monthly check could increase by 25% or more. And a surviving spouse receives the entirety of that benefit upon the worker’s death, making delayed retirement credits even more valuable. Study the new rules to choose your best course.

MEDICARE

Think of Medicare as health insurance for those 65 years and older, regardless of income. While Medicare never pays for assisted living, it is designed to help fund certain postacute expenses in the first 100 days, namely hospitalization and rehab, as long as the person’s health is improving.
Once you’ve plateaued, Medicare stops paying.

Benefits may be available for home health care, but only if certain conditions are met. Medicare Part A covers hospice (palliative care) for the actively dying, regardless of income, including in a senior living community. Click here for original source info.

In contrast, Medicaid is a federal government program that subsidizes the medical expenses (including certain health services and nursing home care) for low income people of all ages. MorningStar does not accept Medicaid. Click here for more information.

LEVERAGE LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES

Whole life and universal life policies build a reserve of cash through interest-earning excess premiums (known as the policy’s “cash value”). In some situations, life insurance can be a source of ready funds through cash surrender, death benefit loans, accelerating death benefits, life (or viatical) settlements, or even selling the policy on the open market for immediate cash.

Before acting on any of these methods, consult a financial advisor, as there may be tax consequences. Life Care Funding can also help you determine whether a policy can be converted. Click Here

TAX BENEFITS

The IRS allows certain deductions on a federal tax return for the cost of housing and meals of those receiving long-term care in a senior community due to chronic illness or the inability to live alone.

Assisted living residents may qualify for these deductions if a physician certifies that they have been unable to perform at least two activities of daily living (such as eating, bathing or dressing) without assistance for at least 90 days. The same deductions can apply to those who require substantial supervision due to memory impairment.

An adult child paying for a parent’s care may also qualify for the tax deductions, if the child can claim the parent as a dependent. Consult a tax advisor for further information or visit the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Click Here.

COMPANION LIVING

MorningStar offers Companion Living in all of our communities, where two unrelated people of the same sex share a suite, whether in independent living, assisted living or memory care.

Not only does this living arrangement enhance life by its camaraderie, it also extends savings.
