Prairie Ridge Village

Overview of Prairie Ridge Village

Glasgow, Montana is a small city near the North Dakota border, and Prairie Ridge Village anchors one corner of it. The 46-bed community offers both assisted living and memory care, run under the direction of administrator Amber Swindler. Its stretch of town rates a Walk Score of 68, moderately walkable, so a handful of errands are doable without a car.

Care here runs on 24-hour staffing and personalized care plans, with a registered nurse on staff and an emergency call system reaching throughout the building. Free EMT response backs up that coverage, and the community holds periodic health fairs for residents. Apartments come fully equipped, including accessible studio layouts built with sit-down showers and broader accessibility design in mind. Spa baths are available for residents who need more support with bathing.

Meals are served restaurant-style in a centrally located dining room, and an activity calendar shapes the daily rhythm around what residents actually want to do. Outside, a maintained lawn and courtyard give the property some breathing room, and residents have access to an on-site beauty salon along with free internet. Garages and resident parking round out the practical side of living there.

Located near Frances Mahon Deaconess Health Center, Glasgow’s primary acute-care resource, Prairie Ridge Village suits older adults looking for structured daily support and dementia-aware care in a small, close-knit Montana town.
