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 MorningStar Senior Living of Billings

MorningStar Senior Living of Billings offers assisted living and memory care in Billings, MT. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication, while memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Having both care levels in one community may suit a resident whose needs could grow from assisted living to memory care without moving to another community.

The community has 106 beds and offers studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom residences. A studio provides a single private living space, while a two-bedroom residence can suit a couple moving together. Pets are allowed, so a resident may continue pet ownership after moving in.

Starting prices are $4,595 for assisted living and $6,195 for memory care. The memory care rate reflects the secured setting and supervision associated with that care level. Respite care provides a short stay for a family whose usual caregiver needs to travel or recover, while short-term rehabilitation offers a temporary recovery-focused option.

Executive chef-inspired meals are served in an all-day, restaurant-style dining setting, and residents can use the swimming pool, salon or spa, scheduled outings, and events. Rehabilitation services, wellness programs, and life enrichment activities are also available.

Overview of La Casa Personal Care

Sheridan County sits in Montana’s far northeastern corner, close enough to the North Dakota and Canadian borders that the region feels remote by design. La Casa Personal Care, a 32-bed assisted living community at 408 Lasater Avenue in Plentywood, operates in that setting under administrator Benny Richardson. The neighborhood carries a Walk Score of 60, moderately walkable, meaning some errands can be handled without a car. Sheridan Memorial Hospital is the nearest acute-care option should residents need it.

Care here spans several tracks at once: assisted living, memory care, respite stays, and rehabilitation services all operate under one roof, supported by 24-hour staffing and nursing care. Medication management and personalized care plans run in the background of daily life. An adult day care option also exists, giving families a way to bring in support during set hours without committing to full-time residency.

Daily routines include local transportation and help with everyday activities, plus a common living area where residents gather. Meals and snacks are covered throughout the day, and a nutrition and exercise program adds some structure beyond mealtimes.

Regulators reviewing La Casa Personal Care have focused on environmental and hazardous-materials safety and on how care planning gets documented, both standard areas of state oversight for facilities like this one. Between the residential care and the adult day program, La Casa Personal Care is built for families juggling different levels of need, whether that means moving a parent in full-time or finding daytime coverage while still keeping them at home.

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.
