Overview of Benedictine Living Community-Bismarck

Benedictine Living Community-Bismarck is a 56-bed skilled nursing facility at 4580 Coleman Street in Bismarck, Burleigh County, North Dakota, operated by St. Gabriel’s Community Skille as a voluntary nonprofit. The community has maintained operations for 41 years and holds a 5-star CMS overall rating paired with a 5-star health inspection score, translating to 32% fewer regulatory deficiencies than typical North Dakota nursing homes across the past three years.

Over three annual inspections, the facility recorded 12 moderate citations; no critical or serious violations, zero fines, and no enforcement actions or substantiated complaints.

That clean record masks an underlying pattern: recurring compliance failures in documentation accuracy, medication protocols, infection control practice, and resident supervision. Deficiencies involved MDS coding errors, insulin administration gaps, barrier-precaution lapses, elopement risk assessment failures, and medication transcription discrepancies. The issues are procedural, not catastrophic, but persistent.

Staffing presents contrasts. Registered nurse hours run 1 hour 7 minutes per resident per day; roughly 22% above the North Dakota average, and the facility maintains a 2.16:1 staff-to-resident ratio, 12% better than state average. Total nursing care hours, though, average 4 hours 23 minutes per resident per day, placing the facility in the lower tier statewide at rank 20 of 25. Physical therapy is a genuine strength: 11 minutes per resident per day, 450% above state average, supported by four PT assistants in a rehabilitation-focused model.

The occupancy rate sits at 98.6%, among the highest in North Dakota and signaling sustained demand. The payer mix is 47% Medicare admissions with typical 1-month stays, which confirms a short-stay rehabilitation orientation. Long-stay quality measures, however, show functional decline 16% worse than state average, indicating structural constraints in supporting residents through progressive illness.

Benedictine Living Community-Bismarck suits short-term Medicare rehabilitation stays with robust physical therapy support and financial stability.

For families considering long-term placement of residents with advancing dementia or functional decline, the facility’s quality-measure profile warrants careful attention.

Overview of Baptist Health & Rehab

Cassia Services owns Baptist Health & Rehab, a 140-bed nursing home at 3400 Nebraska Dr in Bismarck, North Dakota. Deanna runs it as Administrator. It’s been part of the area for around eight years, offering nursing home care, assisted living, and hospice care under one roof.

Don’t expect to walk anywhere nearby, as the Walk Score sits at 6. That’s just about as car-dependent as it gets.

The numbers point to a facility that’s nearly full and serving a mixed population. Occupancy runs at 97.5%, and the average resident stays 395 days, well over a year, though plenty of residents arrive for shorter Medicare-covered rehab stays before moving on. Nursing staff put in just over 5 hours of total care per resident each day. Coverage-wise, Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted, which opens the door for families regardless of how they’re paying.

Rehabilitation services and short-term rehab cover residents working toward going home, while a long-term skilled nursing program serves those who need ongoing care. Spiritual care and basic care round out the medical side. Day to day, residents have bright, individual rooms, emergency pendants for quick help, restaurant-style dining, walking paths, special events, and religious services.

Baptist Health & Rehab is a busy, nearly full nursing home built to handle two different kinds of residents at once: people working through short-term rehab and people who need skilled nursing care for the long haul.

Overview of Edgewood Vista & Village in Bismarck

Edgewood Vista & Village in Bismarck is a senior living community on Colorado Lane in the Burleigh County area of Bismarck, North Dakota, roughly three miles from the city center. It offers assisted living, independent living, and memory care under one roof, which gives families a single community that can adjust as a resident’s needs change over time. The community is operated by Edgewood Senior Living, and Tiffany Boehm is listed among its leadership in state records. Housing comes in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom options across an 85-bed, three-story building.

What stands out here is the depth of on-site care. Therapy services, home health, and hospice are all delivered within the community through Edgewood’s own healthcare services division, so residents facing more advanced or end-of-life needs can often access that support without leaving. Transportation services handle the trips that do require going off-site, which matters in a location that scores just 6 out of 100 for walkability and is effectively car-dependent.

Beyond care, the building itself carries an unusually full set of shared spaces for a community of this size. Residents have access to an on-site coffee shop, a movie theater, a chapel, and a fitness center, giving day-to-day life a range of places to gather, stay active, and spend quiet time. That combination of amenities and a continuum of care in one place makes it a practical fit for someone who wants their living arrangement to hold steady even as their care requirements evolve.

Overview of Lakeview Landing

Amy Deacon is the listed contact for Lakeview Landing, Inc., a 30-bed assisted living and memory care community at 4401 21st St SE in Mandan, North Dakota’s 21st Street Southeast neighborhood. EWR Mandan Lakewood SH LLC operates the facility, which is a building with two stories, and studio housing as its available layout option.

Getting to the facility6 hand around the surrounding area to run errands without a car is tough here. The Walk Score sits at 17, car-dependent, so most errands mean driving.

Two things stand out about Lakeview Landing: first, it’s pet friendly, so a resident’s cat or dog doesn’t have to stay behind. Second, it offers both assisted living and memory care under one roof, which means a resident’s care level can shift without a move to a new building. Transportation services and fitness and recreation options round out daily life.

This is a small, modest community by the numbers; thirty beds, two floors, studio apartments, a pet-friendly policy, and basic transportation and recreation support. It reads less like a flagship community and more like a straightforward, no-frills option for families who want assisted living and memory care in the same Mandan building without a long list of extras.

Overview of Edgewood Bismarck on Dominion

Edgewood Bismarck on Dominion is an assisted living and memory care community in Bismarck, North Dakota, and at 38 beds, it’s on the smaller side. That tends to translate into a more personal feel than you’d get walking into a two-hundred-bed campus. Tristan Dallman handles leadership contact for the community.

Care here includes respite care, along with licensed nurses and CNAs providing coverage around the clock. Short-term stays and adult day services round things out, useful for families dealing with a caregiver’s temporary absence or a loved one who needs structured daytime support but still lives at home otherwise.

One thing worth knowing: residents can access therapy services, home health, and hospice care right on-site, through Edgewood’s own CaringEdge division. It means a resident’s care can shift as their needs change without a family having to coordinate a separate provider or move someone to an entirely different setting.

The amenities lean into a small-town feel deliberately. A movie theater, a coffee shop, a chapel, a fitness center, the kind of setup meant to feel less like an institution and more like an actual neighborhood. Getting around outside the community is a mixed bag though. The Walk Score sits at 57, moderately walkable, so a handful of errands are doable on foot, but most trips will still mean getting in a car.

Between the compact size, the round-the-clock staffing, and healthcare services that can flex from therapy through hospice without switching providers, Edgewood Bismarck on Dominion reads as a community built for continuity, one that can hold onto a resident through a lot of different stages of care.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Bismarck, ND

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in North Dakota?

Assisted living in North Dakota supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in North Dakota?

Assisted living in North Dakota is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does North Dakota Medicaid cover assisted living?

North Dakota Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including North Dakota) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 14 assisted living facilities in Bismarck, ND. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Bismarck, ND?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Bismarck, ND, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Bismarck, ND?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
