Overview of The Springs at Missoula

The Springs at Missoula offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care in Missoula, MT. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, while assisted living adds help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.

Having all three care levels in one community can suit a resident whose needs grow over time, since moving to another level does not require leaving the community. The community opened in 2004 and has 74 beds, with one bedroom and two bedroom residences available for individuals or two people moving together.

The starting price is $7,800 per month, giving families a monthly figure for planning. Pets are allowed, so a resident can bring a pet to the community, and Jennifer Talkington serves as administrator.

A car dependent Walk Score of 41 means most errands require a car or ride, so a resident who no longer drives would need transportation for many outings. The community has a pool, salon and spa, movie theater, putting green, on site physical therapy, and rehabilitation services. The Footsteps® memory care program provides a named program within the memory care offering.
