Assisted Living & Memory Care · Billings, MT

Overview of Primrose Personal Care Home

Primrose Personal Care Home is an assisted living and memory care community in Billings, Montana, located on Maurine Street about 4.5 miles from the city center. The home has been serving the Billings area for 15 years, giving it a settled operating history in the community. It is led by principal Hunter Johnson.

The community is a single-story building, a layout many families appreciate because it keeps living spaces on one level and avoids stairs and elevators for residents with mobility concerns. Housing comes in studio and one-bedroom options, so residents can choose between a compact, easy-to-manage space or a little more room. The single-level design also tends to make the setting feel more residential and navigable than a larger multi-story community.

Because Primrose offers both assisted living and memory care, it can support residents who need help with everyday tasks as well as those living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. That combination can matter to families planning ahead, since a resident whose care needs change over time may be able to remain in a familiar setting. Day-to-day life is supported by transportation services and fitness and recreation programming, which help residents stay connected to the wider Billings area and active within the community.

The neighborhood scores 25 out of 100 for walkability, so a few errands may be reachable on foot while most outings will involve a short drive. For visiting family, the location off Maurine Street is an easy stop within Billings.
