The Cottages of Middleton is well known throughout the Treasure Valley as being one of the best Assisted Living and Memory Care homes around! Located in the heart of Middleton, just off of Main street, it’s hard to miss. The history of The Cottages began with the first campus, built in Emmett, Idaho in 2001. Roughly four years later, The Cottages of Middleton would open!   

The Cottages of Middleton’s History

The Cottages of Middleton became the sixth Cottages campus in the span of a four year period. By this time, The Cottages of Emmett, Weiser, Payette, Mountain Home, and Meridian were already operating, with many seniors proud to call The Cottages their home. The Middleton campus consists of one building where 16 residents can reside.

The Cottages of Middleton is known for their robust activities, specialized care, especially in memory care, and being a national award-winning recipient. The team has been awarded the National Bronze Quality Award from the National Center for Assisted Living. It is difficult to receive this award and demonstrates the conscientious care the team provides with their ability to meet rigorous quality guidelines. In addition to the Bronze award, they have been recipients of the Silver Star Award from the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, received after undergoing the state survey process. 

The residents that reside at the Middleton campus frequently go on exciting bus rides. These outings might include Babby Farms, visiting scenic areas such as Lucky Peak, Black Canyon, the countryside, cultural centers, museums, restaurants, entertainment centers, and more. However, the fun doesn’t stop there. Every day, the quality of life director, who has been with The Cottages for over seven years, plans a variety of activities the residents love. It is common for entertainers to come and serenade everyone by singing and playing musical instruments. And every once in a while, animals such as birds, rabbits, dogs, and even reindeer make a visit. The residents like to care for the flowers and plants around the property and enjoy the garden boxes. The gazebo is frequently used for relaxation and some of the residents enjoy daily walks.
