Overview of Big Sky Senior Living

Jake Kelly manages Big Sky Senior Living, which is a 95-bed home located on Elizabeth Warren Avenue in Butte, Montana. Since the building opened two years ago, it has offered three different types of care—independent living, assisted living, and memory care—all under one roof. While nurses and trained assistants help everyone in the building, those who live in the memory care section have staff available to help them at all hours.

Because the neighborhood is not set up for walking, you will need a car to run errands or go out, which is typical for this part of Butte. Even though the location is not very walkable, residents and their families can feel secure knowing that St. James Healthcare and Butte Community Hospital are close by if they ever need urgent medical help.

The community allows pets, which is a meaningful detail for people who do not want to leave their longtime animal friends behind during such a big life change. Since the minimum age to move in is 55, the community is built specifically for older adults.

One major benefit is that a person can transition from independent living to assisted living or memory care without having to move to a new building. Because this facility is relatively new and has a dedicated team, it is a great choice for families who are planning for a long-term home rather than a place for just a short stay.

Montana Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Montana) 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.
