Overview of TenderNest

TenderNest is a small assisted living and memory care home in Billings, Montana, located on Parkhill Drive on the city’s west side. With just 16 beds in a single-story building, it offers an intentionally intimate setting, the kind of place where staff and residents get to know one another well and daily life stays quieter than it would in a large community. That scale often appeals to families who want close, personal attention for a loved one rather than a big campus with long amenity lists.

The home is administered by Nate Swenson and provides personalized care around the clock. Day-to-day support covers bathing, grooming, help with mobility, medication management, and housekeeping, along with transportation and an ongoing schedule of activities and programs. Because TenderNest offers memory care alongside assisted living, it can serve residents who need a more structured, supervised environment as cognitive needs change, which can spare a family a disruptive move later on.

Practical touches round out daily life here. Transportation services help residents get to appointments and errands, fitness and recreation programming supports staying active, and the home welcomes pets, which can matter a great deal to residents bringing a companion animal along. The neighborhood scores 46 out of 100 for walkability, so a few nearby destinations are reachable on foot while most outings will involve a short drive.

Location is a strong point for families managing care from a distance or coordinating with medical providers. TenderNest sits about 5.5 miles from downtown Billings and roughly a mile from SCL Health St. Vincent hospital, which keeps emergency and specialist care close at hand. Senior residential care facilities in Montana are inspected and licensed by the state Department of Public Health and Human Services, so TenderNest operates under regular state oversight. Together, the small size, the combined assisted living and memory care, and the proximity to a major hospital make it worth a closer look for families seeking a home-style setting in Billings.

Overview of Eagle Cliff Healthcare Community

Eagle Cliff Healthcare Community offers nursing home, assisted living, hospice care, respite care, and skilled nursing in Billings, MT.

Hospice care supports residents receiving end-of-life care, and respite care offers a short stay for someone whose usual caregiver needs time away.

Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted, and total nurse staffing is 3h 46m per resident per day, representing the daily hands-on nurse time allocated to each resident.

Overview of The Goldstone Assisted Living

The Goldstone Assisted Living provides assisted living in Great Falls, MT. Residents receive help with daily tasks such as bathing and dressing, giving them support with routines that are difficult to manage alone. The community has 15 beds, making it a smaller setting where staff and residents can get to know each other, and it may suit someone who prefers a more intimate community.

A Walk Score of 43 places the area in a car-dependent setting, so most errands require a car or a ride. The dining program includes home-cooked meals and snacks, while the open kitchen lets residents see where food is prepared. Individual and group activities are available daily, giving residents scheduled ways to take part in shared or personal programming.

Religious services are available for residents who want to attend them, and pet therapy provides animal-assisted visits. A supervised medication program adds oversight to medication routines. Bonnie Huestis serves as the administrator.

Overview of Kenhodro Inc. DBA Frontier Assisted Living

Frontier Assisted Living, operated by Kenhodro Inc., occupies a 52-bed building at 121 S 3rd Street in Livingston, within Park County, Montana. The neighborhood ranks as very walkable, with a Walk Score of 89, meaning most errands don’t require a car. Livingston HealthCare sits nearby as a medical resource families can factor into their planning.

Care here spans a wide range. Independent living, assisted living, memory care, and respite stays are all available under one roof, backed by 24-hour staffing from licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants. Rehabilitation services support residents recovering from illness or injury, while the memory care option serves those with Alzheimer’s or other dementia-related needs. A beauty salon gives residents a lifestyle touch beyond the clinical side of daily life.

Montana’s inspection process for this facility has touched on several standard categories: medication management, staffing and credentialing, fire-safety systems, environmental and hazardous-materials handling, care planning and documentation, dietary service, and general housekeeping. These are areas that affect care and so regulators routinely examine across licensed senior care communities in the state.

For a family weighing options in Livingston, Frontier Assisted Living offers a full continuum, from independent living through memory care, inside a walkable pocket of town with medical resources close by and nursing staff present around the clock.

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.
