The "Old Soldiers Home" formally opened in Boise in May 1895. It was eventually replaced
by the New Home which was dedicated in November 1966.
Situated on a sprawling, tree-lined campus at the base of the beautiful Boise
foothills, the Boise Veterans Home provides a quiet, peaceful setting just a few
convenient miles from the heart of downtown Boise.
The facility offers a 36-bed residential/ domiciliary unit, and a 131 bed skilled
nursing care unit including a 17-bed special care unit for veterans with Alzheimer's
disease or related conditions. Each room is individualized to provide residents with
maximum privacy, and all have windows and individually controlled heating and air
conditioning. The facility features a physical therapy center, a spacious dining room,
pleasant common areas, a large covered patio and courtyards. Services available to
residents include extensive activity programs, onsite veteran and social services,
library services, and transportation to medical appointments.
