What Makes Idaho Special for Retirees
Natural Beauty & Four-Season Living
From the pine-covered slopes of the Panhandle to the sunlit high desert in the south, Idaho offers breathtaking scenery in every season. Mild summers, snowy winters, and crisp, colorful autumns create an ever-changing backdrop for your retirement years.
Charming Towns & Welcoming Communities
Idaho is known for its friendly, tight-knit towns. Places like Coeur d’Alene, Idaho Falls, and Boise balance small-town feel with rich community life. Weekly farmers markets, arts festivals, and neighborly get-togethers are a way of life here.
Affordable Lifestyle
Compared to many coastal states, Idaho offers a lower overall cost of living. Property taxes are modest, and there are retirement-friendly tax policies — including no tax on Social Security benefits — that help your income go further.
아웃도어 리빙, 아이다호는 야외 활동을 좋아하는 사람들의 꿈이지만, 모험심이 강한 사람만 즐길 수 있는 곳은 아닙니다. 산책로, 강변 산책로, 낚시 부두, 경치 좋은 피크닉 장소가 집에서 몇 분 거리에 있는 경우가 많습니다. 심지어 도시에서도 마찬가지입니다. 자연은 이곳의 삶의 일부입니다.
Staying Healthy, Active & Connected
Healthcare Access
Idaho continues to grow its network of healthcare providers, including clinics and specialists in Medicare Advantage plans. Hospitals in Boise, Twin Falls, and Pocatello offer modern care with a focus on senior wellness and chronic care management.
Senior-Friendly Resources
City and county programs in Idaho provide a wide range of services for older adults — from local transit shuttles and meal delivery to senior centers with workshops, exercise classes, and lifelong learning opportunities.
A Place for Every Lifestyle
Whether you’re looking for quiet, low-maintenance living or a vibrant retirement community, Idaho offers it all. 55+ neighborhoods can be found in urban and rural settings alike — many designed for easy living with built-in social calendars and amenities.
Weekend Getaways & Day Trips
소투스 산맥의 아름다운 오솔길을 탐험하고, 스네이크 강 계곡에서 와인 투어를 즐기거나, 월리스와 같은 유서 깊은 광산 마을을 방문해 보세요. 아이다호 주민들은 워싱턴주 스포캔과 옐로스톤 국립공원을 쉽게 방문할 수 있습니다.

아이다호의 메디케어
아이다호주는 다양한 메디케어 어드밴티지(Medicare Advantage) 및 메디케어 서플리먼트(Medicare Supplement) 플랜을 제공하며, 카운티와 우편번호에 따라 이용 가능 여부와 보장 범위가 다릅니다. 보이시, 메리디언, 아이다호 폴스 같은 도시의 주민들은 세인트 루크스 헬스 시스템(St. Luke's Health System)과 세인트 알폰서스 헬스(Saint Alphonsus Health)와 같은 주요 의료 서비스 제공업체를 통해 다양한 플랜을 이용할 수 있습니다. 이러한 플랜에는 치과, 시력, 청력, 웰니스 프로그램과 같은 추가 혜택이 포함될 수 있지만, 제공되는 혜택은 거주 지역에 따라 크게 다를 수 있습니다.
주 내 시골 지역에서는 플랜 옵션이 더 제한적일 수 있으므로, 각 플랜의 혜택을 신중하게 비교하고 어떤 내용이 포함되어 있는지 이해하는 것이 특히 중요합니다. 네트워크 접근성, 처방약 보장 범위, 그리고 진료 의뢰 요건은 모두 플랜이 귀하의 필요를 얼마나 잘 충족하는지에 영향을 미칠 수 있습니다.
다행히 아이다호에서 메디케어를 찾는 것이 어려울 필요는 없습니다. 공인 메디케어 브로커가 고객님의 위치, 예산, 의료 서비스 선호도에 따라 플랜을 비교하는 데 도움을 드릴 수 있습니다. 브로커의 안내는 대부분 무료로 제공되며, 값비싼 실수나 보험 가입 기회 놓치는 것을 방지하는 데 도움이 될 수 있습니다. 메디케어를 처음 가입하시거나 아이다호로 이주하시는 경우, 전문가의 도움을 받으면 더욱 원활하고 개인 맞춤화된 절차를 받으실 수 있습니다.
