Assisted Living & Memory Care · Great Falls, MT

Overview of Mt Gems – Ruby House

Mt Gems – Ruby House operates as a 19-bed assisted living community at 811 2nd Ave S in Great Falls, Montana, and it’s been open for three years now. The building is single-story, which keeps things simple to navigate, and residents choose between private and semi-private rooms depending on what fits. Alongside standard assisted living, the community also offers memory care, an important distinction for families weighing options for a loved one with dementia or Alzheimer’s.

With a Walk Score of 85, the area counts as very walkable, meaning most errands can be handled on foot and plenty of everyday essentials sit within a short walk. That’s a real convenience, both for residents who are still mobile and for family stopping by without needing to find parking.

The daily care here covers a lot of ground: medication assistance, help with bathing, dressing, and grooming, plus housekeeping, laundry, and meal and snack preparation. Staff supervision runs around the clock, and each room comes with its own emergency call button, giving residents a direct way to get help fast if something happens.

Meals lean toward family-style, with snacks available daily, and there’s a regular schedule of social activities for residents to take part in. Paired with the memory care specialization, that combination speaks to a facility built around consistent, hands-on daily support alongside genuine chances to stay socially engaged.

Mt Gems – Ruby House is a small, single-story assisted living community equipped for both standard daily care and memory care needs, set in one of the more walkable pockets of Great Falls.
