We went in early December, so it was definitely chilly and muddy from the rain the day before. However, we wore good hiking shoes, so we were dry at least. Trail took about 2 hours round trip, and the trail was dirt/rocks but easy enough for kids. Bring: water, snacks, appropriate clothes depending on the weather, dog! I brought a beanie, gloves, and warm clothes for the hike in December. I would avoid going on rainy days or if it recently rained. Mud will slow you down. There are little info boards posted along the trails - nice read. Great trail for a short walk. I hear it gets crowded during the weekends and good weather days. Go early!

We had a terrible experience with my stepdad passing away there a few weeks ago. I've waited to…read morepost a review for some type of apology from this place for my mom for our treatment, but the only contact has been to ask for payment for an additional 14 days after his passing, which seems unreasonable and/or criminal to me. It was a few months of on and off hospitalizations for my stepdad, when it was decided that he needed round the clock care. Mom had done a fantastic job keeping him alive and safe, but with his continued falls, it just wasn't possible anymore. As a 100% disabled veteran, he had received excellent care from the Boise VA and St Luke's Meridian. The only VA covered care facility that we thought would work was not the right fit, so we thought the memory care at Table Rock would be better. It started off fine, and the place looks fantastic and smells nice, things that can put you off one of these places. The care was mostly fine, but once he started to really decline, the miscommunication and trouble started. The hospice nurse would come in, make changes to his care, and send the orders through. But this place never got them, they said. They started putting us off when we would ask for a dose of morphine to keep his pain down, because the hospice nurse gave an order for it to be given PRN every hour, but they wouldn't except every four hours. He wasn't speaking at this point, but it's best to keep the doses regular, to not let pain develop, so the hospice nurse recommended. He was also given medication to reduce secretions. When I left my mom and sister with dad to get us lunch on his last day of life, the Executive Director and Head of Nursing burst into the room like Stormtroopers, accusing my family of trying to kill my stepdad, and threatening to call the cops! I came back during the middle of this, which was extremely scary for my 81-year old mom, and upsetting to my sister and me. My sister is in the nursing home industry and was trying to keep him comfortable while he was dying, not withholding water or food! He had choked on a pill given with water for 45 minutes a few days prior, so he was on a not by mouth order, but again the hospice orders did not get through, so Table Rock lazily assumed we were making it up, that he would sit up and say, hey I'm fine? I don't get it. Anyway, my stepdad passed away two hours after the big scary confrontation, while hearing all of this ruckus. My sister has called multiple agencies to complain, and hopefully he will face some consequences for the pain and distress he and his staff caused all of us!!

My husband was a resident of Table Rock Assisted Living for 3 weeks. I want to share some…read moreexperiences that we as a family had during that time period. Some employees on the dementia side of the building are caring and nice. The girls are not CNA trained. They are on the job trained. They are young and lack common sense. There Were some strange things going on with the Administrator. He was rude to us from the moment we walked in. And then about one hour before my husband passed away was a terrible and outrageous scene in the room. Thanks to what the Administrator did to our family! Bottom line is these people are all about money and not about caring for the vulnerable residents. Do NOT send your loved one there!!!! It's very expensive and very bad!!!!

I have gone to all of his appointments with him. His assigned nurse, Jennifer, is wonderful. She has trained us on all the aspects of doing in-home dialysis. Each month, hubby meets with a whole team that includes the doctor, a nutritionist and a social worker to make sure everything is going well. Regular testing and medication adjustments keep him on track. They have a top-notch program. All the supplies are delivered to our home and the stock is rotated by the delivering associate. He has also been a delight to work with. Hubby had an issue with his dialysis tube one day, and they were able to squeeze us in to get it corrected. Does anybody really want to be on dialysis? Probably not. But thank goodness that kidney failure is something that can be treated these days! This clinic is not the closest one to our house, but it feels like home to us.

It was sunny, warm and beautiful out today so I took it as a sign to take a bike ride along the river. I started my ride at the Marigold and Glenwood entrance. I made my way down the path. A lot of construction going on for the new park that is being built by the Fairgrounds. I look forward to checking it out when it's finally complete. The ride along the river was beautiful. The trail was easy to ride and had a lot of spots you can stop at to check out. Wildlife, plant life and of course the water. Every stretch of the river is so different. I did stop at a part of the river that looked like a lagoon. The trees covering the benched area. The sun shining through the branches. You get beautiful rays of sun peaking through. It was truly a magical area. Made my way further down by the white water rafting area. People everywhere on thier bikes or folks just walking. Everyone had the same idea about enjoying this beautiful weather today. We were all soaking up mother earth. I biked all the way down to Main and Chinden. I decided to flip around. I still had to ride my bike home and didn't want to overwhelm myself with a longer ride back to my house which was another mile from the Marigold entrance. If I would have had a partner with me or have driven to the river, I probably would have continued on. But, that's for another adventure! This stretch of the river was so pretty. I'm happy I got to check it out today. It's amazing how beautiful our little city is. I'm looking forward to checking out the other side of the river heading towards Eagle. I'm sure it's just a beautiful as what I experienced today.

I just love how everyone is doing their own thing, whether that's walking, strolling, biking, fishing, kayaking or even surfing! Yes that's right, there's a section where you can actually surf the stream.. how cool is that?! There a signs at the entrances that remind people not to be a "speed demon" and also signs warning about blind curves, which I very much appreciated. We rented those Lime electric scooters and were able to scoot nearly the entire path, which felt so epic and fun. Of course, we were mindful of pedestrians, bikes and foot traffic. One of my favorites parts of the path was when went past the Boise Zoo and saw not just one, but too giraffes poking their heads up at the trees. They were ginormous and even seems to acknowledge us with curious eyes and ears. What a special treat to have such an open, accessible and convenient public space right in the heart of a city!

What an great little park! A large expanse of field for all your recreational needs (there were kids playing soccer while we were there and still plenty of field to enjoy). They have a great play ground with equipment flanked by benches and surrounded by trees so you can easily sit and watch the kiddos at play in the shade. There is a nice covered picnic area (conveniently adjacent to the bathrooms) where you could enjoy a little alfresco picnic style dining (or even reserve for an outdoor party or gathering). They have a single basketball court. And, there's even a couple tennis courts for those who like to volley their way to a little game-set-match. The parking area is rather small, but the parking at the Table Rock trailhead is also quite close if overflow was needed. Overall a great park, with great amenities, in an awesome location. Get to it!

Free breakfast but offerings limited to yogurt or eggs. Very noisy A/C unit. The toilet is directly next to the frosted glass bathroom door, which is fine for couples but worth taking into consideration who you're traveling with! Issue we had was we had picked up some favorite vegan food from a local restaurant to enjoy on the patio since we've really enjoyed the communal patios at other updated motels. We check-in and are invited to the happy hour. Awesome! We hope to order a beer and enjoy our food when a woman comes over and says that the health department will not allow us to eat our own food on our own plates and cutlery on the patio and that they would be shut down if they allowed it. When we ask where we could eat, she directs us to the street or our room. Our room only had a single chair and a thin rail, no proper dining setup. The patio was empty save for 2 tables but they couldn't stand to share the patio with hotel guests. The place was otherwise nice but the treatment soured our experience. I strongly suspect the health department would take no issue with our enjoyment of the patio.

To top it off, the lady working the front desk late Thursday night was super super nice. Great first impression of Boise based on that alone!
