Overview of The Goldstone Assisted Living

The Goldstone Assisted Living provides assisted living in Great Falls, MT. Residents receive help with daily tasks such as bathing and dressing, giving them support with routines that are difficult to manage alone. The community has 15 beds, making it a smaller setting where staff and residents can get to know each other, and it may suit someone who prefers a more intimate community.

A Walk Score of 43 places the area in a car-dependent setting, so most errands require a car or a ride. The dining program includes home-cooked meals and snacks, while the open kitchen lets residents see where food is prepared. Individual and group activities are available daily, giving residents scheduled ways to take part in shared or personal programming.

Religious services are available for residents who want to attend them, and pet therapy provides animal-assisted visits. A supervised medication program adds oversight to medication routines. Bonnie Huestis serves as the administrator.
