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.
