Overview of High Country Care

High Country Care is an assisted living home in Bozeman, MT, and it exclusively runs that form of care. Each resident has their own space. Staff assist with dressing, bathing, and medication, along with whatever else the day requires.

It’s small, only seven beds, which suits someone preferring a cozy space instead of a large one. Pets can remain with their owners. Dana Archer is the administrator, while Jacob Willis holds the position of executive director.
