Stand-alone independent living communities in Idaho don’t need to be licensed or undergo inspections. The exception is if an independent living community is part of a combined senior living facility that provides assisted living services. In this case, the community as a whole is licensed as a Residential Assisted Living Facility (RALF) by the Department of Health and Welfare.[01]
Many of our Idaho independent living partner communities are combined with assisted living communities. If you move into a combined RALF, the following regulations will apply to the assisted living wing or building:[01]
Visit our Idaho assisted living laws and regulations page to learn more about this care type.
Similar to a traditional rental, you have rights when renting a 55+ independent living unit in Idaho. We recommend reviewing the summary of your rights below and downloading the Idaho landlord and tenant manual before signing an independent living rental contract:[02]
You also have the right to reasonable accommodations and modifications under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Fair Housing Act. Reasonable accommodations include changes to rules and policies for your apartment, such as assigning accessible parking spaces and adjusting rental payment due dates. Reasonable modifications include changes that make your living space more physically accessible, such as bathroom grab bars and entryway ramps.[03]

The Licensing and Survey Agency inspects, or surveys, the assisted living portions of RALFs to make sure they comply with all regulations.[01] Regular monitoring holds each community to the proper standards, which helps keep seniors and staff safe.
Once a RALF gets its first license, a survey is done within 90 days and again 15 months later. If all is well during those first two surveys, the community is surveyed once every three years. Otherwise, the Licensing and Survey Agency will survey the community whenever necessary.[01]
To find surveys for combined senior living communities in your area, visit Idaho’s Facility Licensing and Regulatory Enforcement System (FLARES) search tool. First, either select your county or type in the name and address of a specific facility. Next, click “Search Facilities.” Click on a facility’s name and scroll down to the “Surveys” section. Finally, click on the magnifying glass icon in the “View” column to read the survey results.
