Overview of Edgewood Vista & Village in Bismarck

Edgewood Vista & Village in Bismarck is a senior living community on Colorado Lane in the Burleigh County area of Bismarck, North Dakota, roughly three miles from the city center. It offers assisted living, independent living, and memory care under one roof, which gives families a single community that can adjust as a resident’s needs change over time. The community is operated by Edgewood Senior Living, and Tiffany Boehm is listed among its leadership in state records. Housing comes in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom options across an 85-bed, three-story building.

What stands out here is the depth of on-site care. Therapy services, home health, and hospice are all delivered within the community through Edgewood’s own healthcare services division, so residents facing more advanced or end-of-life needs can often access that support without leaving. Transportation services handle the trips that do require going off-site, which matters in a location that scores just 6 out of 100 for walkability and is effectively car-dependent.

Beyond care, the building itself carries an unusually full set of shared spaces for a community of this size. Residents have access to an on-site coffee shop, a movie theater, a chapel, and a fitness center, giving day-to-day life a range of places to gather, stay active, and spend quiet time. That combination of amenities and a continuum of care in one place makes it a practical fit for someone who wants their living arrangement to hold steady even as their care requirements evolve.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in North Dakota

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

Assisted living in North Dakota 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 North Dakota?

Assisted living in North Dakota 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 North Dakota Medicaid cover assisted living?

North Dakota Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including North Dakota) 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 62 assisted living facilities in North Dakota. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in North Dakota?

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 North Dakota, 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 North Dakota?

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.
