Overview of Eagles Manor Retirement Community

Eagles Manor Retirement Community sits at 1501 9th St S, in Great Falls’ Southside neighborhood, and it’s set up for independent living. The mid-rise building offers studio and one-bedroom apartments, with somewhere around 170 residents currently calling it home. Independent living means something specific here. Residents keep their own apartments and run their own day-to-day lives. Amenities and social activities exist to support that, not to replace it with hands-on care.

Walkability sits in the middle range: a Walk Score of 51 means some errands can get done on foot, and there’s a decent spread of nearby amenities, though a car will still come in handy for plenty of trips. On the day-to-day side, residents get two meals a day, access to an on-site hair salon, and weekly housekeeping, so the basics of home upkeep aren’t entirely on their own shoulders. Laundry doesn’t require leaving the building either, since each floor has its own laundry room. Add in transportation services and fitness and recreation options, and there’s a fairly full slate of support built into daily life. A regular calendar of social, educational, and recreational events rounds things out.

Put it all together, and Eagles Manor lands on a fairly specific kind of resident: someone managing well on their own, not in need of daily care, but interested in some built-in structure and a sense of community. The apartment setup, the everyday conveniences, and the steady activity schedule all point the same direction. This is a place meant to support independence, not take it over.

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.
