Overview of The Living Centre

The Living Centre has spent 12 years in Stevensville, Montana, operating out of a 50-bed building at 63 Main St. 31 of those beds are filled, putting occupancy at 61%. It’s not in a walkable stretch of town; a Walk Score of 38 means a handful of errands might be doable on foot, but most trips are going to mean getting in a car.

Residents get physical therapy through the facility’s rehab services, there’s a doctor on staff, and staffing runs around the clock. Home care is also offered as a separate service line. On the nursing side, residents receive close to five hours of total nursing care each day, and just over an hour of that comes specifically from registered nurses, with nurse aides covering roughly three and a half hours of daily hands-on care.

There’s a library, a spa, and a dining room, plus the Indulge Salon, a named on-site program for residents who want salon services without leaving the building. The activity calendar rotates through musical performances, games, and fitness sessions, so there’s more than one way for residents to fill their days. For families sorting out how to pay, The Living Centre accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, which covers most of the common paths people use to fund a nursing home stay.

On the regulatory side, state inspections here have tended to focus on a handful of recurring areas: environmental and hazardous materials safety, care planning and documentation, resident rights and protections, and fall and injury prevention. That’s a fairly standard set of focus areas across nursing homes generally, not something unique to this facility.

What all of this points to is a mid-sized nursing home built around rehabilitation and consistent nursing oversight, with a rounded set of daily amenities and broad payment flexibility layered on top. For a family looking at short-term rehab or longer-term nursing care with multiple ways to cover the cost, that combination is the clearest signal the community offers.

Overview of Rosetta Assisted Living – Missoula

Rosetta Assisted Living, Missoula offers assisted living in Missoula, MT. Assisted living provides help with daily living activities, so residents can receive support with routine tasks while living in the community. The community is in the Westside neighborhood, and administrator Ashely Torbett oversees its daily operations.

With 17 beds, Rosetta Assisted Living, Missoula is a small community, which may suit someone who prefers a smaller assisted living setting. Rehabilitation services are available, giving residents access to those services through the facility. A Walk Score of 53 out of 100 means the area is somewhat walkable, with some errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives may be able to handle certain nearby errands independently.

Overview of The Village Senior Residence

The Village Senior Residence is an assisted living community in Missoula, Montana, located on Old Fort Road about 3.4 miles from the city center. One of its most practical features is proximity to medical care, with Community Medical Center’s emergency department roughly a fifth of a mile away, which can offer real peace of mind for families whose loved one may need quick access to a hospital.

The community is one of the larger assisted living options in the area, with 117 beds, and it is relatively new, having been in operation for about two years. That newer building often means more current layouts and systems, and the larger size typically supports more common spaces and organized group activities than a small residential home can offer. The neighborhood scores 49 out of 100 for walkability, so a few errands may be reachable on foot while most outings will involve a short drive. Pets are welcome, which matters to residents who want to bring a companion animal along.

State inspection history for the community is mixed over the years, with a clean renewal review on record alongside earlier findings tied to building safety and care documentation. Families touring the community can ask how those safety and recordkeeping practices are handled day to day, which is a useful window into how the home operates.

Overview of Missoula Health and Rehabilitation Center

Missoula Health and Rehabilitation Center has been part of its Rattlesnake Dr neighborhood for 17 years now, a 49-bed nursing home tucked into a stretch of Missoula where you pretty much need a car to get anywhere. Right now it’s running at 80 percent occupancy, and the average resident stays close to six months, 179 days to be exact.

The clinical side of things centers on rehabilitation. Residents have access to rehabilitation services, respite care, and short-term rehab, the kind of support that matters whether someone’s recovering from a hip replacement or settling in for longer-term nursing care. Nursing staff put in an average of 4 hours and 15 minutes of total nursing care per resident each day, which gives a sense of how much hands-on attention is built into the daily rhythm here. A wellness program rounds out the picture.

Coverage-wise, the facility takes Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, so families have options no matter where they are in figuring out how to fund care. Rebecca Davis administers the facility, and Karrie Holt holds the Executive Director role.

Montana’s Department of Public Health and Human Services, Quality Assurance Division, handles inspections statewide, and here those inspections have tended to circle back to medication management, infection control, and food service rather than anything tied to direct hands-on resident care.

Put together, this is a smaller nursing home built around rehabilitation and sustained nursing support, the kind of place suited to someone who needs real clinical attention day to day, not just a place to land.

Overview of At Home Assisted Living

At Home Assisted Living provides assisted living, independent living, and memory care in Missoula, MT.

The community has 20 beds, making it a smaller setting where staff and residents can get to know each other.

Dorothy Cantrell serves as the administrator.

Overview of The Auberge at Missoula Valley

The Auberge at Missoula Valley offers assisted living and independent living in Missoula, MT. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while a resident keeps a private living space; independent living provides private living without daily care. Both care levels can suit a resident whose needs may grow over time, allowing a move between care levels without leaving the community.

The community has 120 beds and offers studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom residences. A studio provides a single private space, while a two-bedroom layout can suit a couple moving together or someone who wants a companion.

A Walk Score of 48 places the area in a car-dependent setting, so most errands require a car or a ride. Pets are allowed, which lets a resident move in with a pet. Jo-Ann Marchica serves as the administrator.

Overview of Flor-Haven Personal Care Home

Flor-Haven Personal Care Home sits in Missoula’s Riverfront neighborhood, at 433 S 3rd St W, and it’s set up for independent living. Residents here keep their own private living space and run their own day-to-day routines, with amenities and social activities available to support that lifestyle rather than replace it with hands-on care.

A Walk Score of 90 puts Flor-Haven in “Walker’s Paradise” range, one of the higher scores you’ll come across. Daily errands, shops, and services are close enough that a car often isn’t necessary. That’s a meaningful detail for someone who wants to stay mobile and independent without depending on driving, and it matters just as much for family members stopping by who’d rather park once and walk.

Because Flor-Haven operates as independent living, not assisted living or personal care, it’s built around residents who are largely self-sufficient. There’s no medical or personal care component here. Instead, it’s fit for someone who wants their own space, a walkable neighborhood, and access to community life, without needing daily support built into the arrangement.

Location and independence are really the two threads running through everything here, a Riverfront address that puts daily life within walking distance, paired with a living setup that respects residents’ autonomy rather than managing it for them.

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.
