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.

Immanuel Living D/b/a the Terraces at Buffalo Hill offers nursing home, assisted living, independent living, memory care, and skilled nursing in Kalispell, Montana. Multiple care levels may make the community a good fit for a resident whose needs may grow over time, since the resident can remain within one community as care needs change. Respite care provides a short stay when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while a resident keeps an apartment. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care. Memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, while nursing home and skilled nursing services provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock.

Immanuel Living D/b/a the Terraces at Buffalo Hill has 140 beds. Its starting price is $5,700, giving families an initial figure for budgeting, and Medicare is accepted for short term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long term residence. Patty Cordell serves as the administrator. A Walk Score of 84 means the area is very walkable, with most errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives can still reach nearby shops, services, or cafes independently.

Starting Price $5,700/Month

Overview of Mission Ridge

Mission Ridge is an assisted living community in Billings, Montana, set on Rimrock Road about five miles from the city center. It is part of the St. John’s senior living family, which connects it to an established regional network of senior care. The community is designed for older adults who want help with everyday activities while keeping a comfortable, apartment-style home of their own.

Housing options include one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments, and the private units come with a balcony or patio along with an in-unit washer and dryer. This is a mid-size, three-story community with 70 beds, a scale that often allows for a steady daily routine and familiar faces among staff and neighbors. For families, that middle ground can strike a nice balance between personal attention and the range of shared spaces a larger building can offer.

Residents are supported by a 24-hour emergency call system, and the community provides transportation services along with fitness and recreation options to help with both errands and daily engagement. Pets are welcome, which can be an important comfort for someone moving from a longtime home.

State inspections have most often noted documentation and recordkeeping matters, along with minor housekeeping and safety items, rather than concerns about direct resident care, and no complaints were substantiated. The setting is car-dependent, with a Walk Score of 9 out of 100, so most outings involve a drive, which makes the community’s own transportation service a practical everyday feature.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Montana

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

Assisted living in Montana 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 Montana?

Assisted living in Montana 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 Montana Medicaid cover assisted living?

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.

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 89 assisted living facilities in Montana. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Montana?

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 Montana, 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 Montana?

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.
