Overview

About Boise Group Homes Inc

Boise Group Homes gives people with developmental disabilities a place to live, a place to learn, and steady support that respects who they are. In its neighborhood-scale homes and five-day-a-week day program, the focus stays on inclusion, individualized schedules, and building more independence and self-sufficiency. For donors, the appeal is simple, this is practical, person-centered support rooted in daily life.

What stands out here is the neighborhood-scale setting, the kind of support that feels built around real people rather than a one-size-fits-all system. Residents have individualized schedules, active treatment, and 24/7 nursing staff, while the day program gives them regular time to practice work-related and social skills.

Joe's visits are easier and more enjoyable

We wanted to write to tell you how pleased we are with Joe’s manners, and just the overall Joe. He no longer requires so much of my time and attention when he visits. We are able to enjoy our time together much more now. I know he is happier at your home with all his housemates and all the activities you plan for them.
