Overview of Edgewood Bismarck on Dominion

Edgewood Bismarck on Dominion is an assisted living and memory care community in Bismarck, North Dakota, and at 38 beds, it’s on the smaller side. That tends to translate into a more personal feel than you’d get walking into a two-hundred-bed campus. Tristan Dallman handles leadership contact for the community.

Care here includes respite care, along with licensed nurses and CNAs providing coverage around the clock. Short-term stays and adult day services round things out, useful for families dealing with a caregiver’s temporary absence or a loved one who needs structured daytime support but still lives at home otherwise.

One thing worth knowing: residents can access therapy services, home health, and hospice care right on-site, through Edgewood’s own CaringEdge division. It means a resident’s care can shift as their needs change without a family having to coordinate a separate provider or move someone to an entirely different setting.

The amenities lean into a small-town feel deliberately. A movie theater, a coffee shop, a chapel, a fitness center, the kind of setup meant to feel less like an institution and more like an actual neighborhood. Getting around outside the community is a mixed bag though. The Walk Score sits at 57, moderately walkable, so a handful of errands are doable on foot, but most trips will still mean getting in a car.

Between the compact size, the round-the-clock staffing, and healthcare services that can flex from therapy through hospice without switching providers, Edgewood Bismarck on Dominion reads as a community built for continuity, one that can hold onto a resident through a lot of different stages of care.

Overview of Missouri Slope Assisted Living

Missouri Slope Assisted Living operates out of 2500 Valley View Avenue in Bismarck. Under one roof it handles nursing home care, assisted living, skilled nursing, and home care. For a family, that structure has a practical upside. When a parent’s needs shift, the provider does not have to.

The surrounding blocks are genuinely walkable, with a Walk Score of 85. Most errands work on foot; essentials sit close by, which helps visiting family as much as residents themselves.

There’re sixty-four beds with just thirty-two residents in them. The average stay lasts about 108 days, and that number tells you something specific: this is a place doing a lot of recovery work, not only long-term residency. If you are looking at a rehab stay after surgery or a hospital discharge, that pattern is the one to pay attention to.

Rehabilitation services happen on-site, so therapy does not mean a car ride and an appointment window. The organization also runs Missouri Slope at Home – HCBS, which supports people who want to stay in their own houses rather than move.

Total nursing care comes to 6 hours and 25 minutes per resident per day. Weekend nursing holds at 4 hours and 49 minutes. Coverage commonly drops off once Friday ends, so weekend hours that stay this substantial say something real about how the place is run.

Life inside includes religious services and a volunteer program. There is also an active resident council, where residents gather to talk through policies, care quality, and what goes on the activity calendar.

Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted, which covers nearly every funding route a family is likely to be working with. Put it together and Missouri Slope suits older adults in Bismarck who need short-term rehabilitation or steady nursing care, delivered by staff who are actually there, in a part of town where a walk is still worth taking.

Overview of The Baptist Apartments – Prairie Pointe

The Baptist Apartments – Prairie Pointe is on Nebraska Drive in Bismarck, North Dakota. It covers nursing home care, assisted living, hospice care, and skilled nursing under one roof. State licensing records it as an assisted living facility. The practical upshot: a resident whose needs change over time may not have to pack up and move somewhere new.

Thirty-two beds makes this a small community. Small buildings usually run quieter, with staff knowing well who is who, and where the daily rhythm is less institutional than what you find in a large facility.

Walkability here is strong as the Walk Score is 85, which means most errands can be done on foot and essentials are close by. Residents who still get around independently benefit from that. So do visiting families, who can pair a visit with a nearby stop instead of making two separate trips.

Rehabilitation services and short-term rehab are both available, so someone coming off a hospital stay or a fall can recover in place rather than routing through a separate rehab center first. Respite care is on the list too. That gives a family caregiver a defined stretch of relief, planned or otherwise. For residents who need help with daily routines but nothing clinically intensive, basic care fills that space. Someone is on staff around the clock.

The community also describes spiritual care and long-term care among its offerings. The spiritual piece connects to the Baptist name and can matter a great deal to families who want faith woven into daily life rather than treated as a scheduled activity.

Medicaid is accepted. For many families, that single fact determines whether a community stays on the list at all. Taken with the small size, the walkable location, and the span of care from basic support through hospice, this is a community built for people who would rather settle in one place than move again.

Overview of Eventide Fargo Senior Living Apartments

Managed by executive director Chris Gilson, Eventide Fargo is a 98-bed nursing home in Fargo, North Dakota. The facility in Brandt Crossing’s neighborhood is owned by Christopher Gilson. It’s part of a non-profit, church-related organization and accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay occupants, making it accessible to families with different coverage options. The community offers a full continuum of services: nursing home care, skilled nursing, assisted living, independent living, hospice care, memory care, and respite care. This range lets residents find the support level that matches their needs, whether recuperating from surgery or illness, managing chronic conditions, or needing longer-term residential care. Most new occupants are Medicare-covered and stay for shorter periods related to post-acute recovery, though the home also serves private-pay and Medicaid residents for longer stays.

Daily care is anchored by a robust staffing model. Nursing staff supplies an average of 4 hours 57 minutes of care per resident day, including registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants. The facility employs specialized therapists for physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology, plus social workers and mental health professionals addressing the full spectrum of resident needs. On-site dental services lessen the need for outside appointments. To ensure quality meal preparation and therapeutic programming, the community also maintains dietary staff and occupational therapy support. Occupants reside in bright and spacious units with emergency call systems for immediate assistance. Daily housekeeping, meal preparation, and maintenance services free residents from routine responsibilities. Scheduled transportation is offered for occupants and families needing to visit appointments or explore the home. The facility prioritizes enrichment via comprehensive wellness programming made to support intellectual, social, physical, emotional, occupational, and spiritual well-being. It’s encouraged that residents join activities, recreation, and an active resident council where they can voice concerns and help shape community life. About 5 miles from Fargo’s city center, the facility is in a car-dependent area where most errands require a vehicle, though the surrounding neighborhood offers access to hospitals, shopping, dining, and other services. The 98-bed mid-rise community upholds a high occupancy rate. This reflects stable demand and financial stability in the region.

Overview of The View

The View on Elk Drive sits at 2905 Elk Drive in Minot, North Dakota. It runs four kinds of care in one building: assisted living, independent living, memory care, and adult day care. For families, that combination is the practical draw. A resident whose needs shift does not automatically face another move.

The View Inc. operates the community. State records list Amanda Anfinson as the contact. Sixty-one beds, two stories, twelve years in business.

Location is the honest tradeoff here, as the community sits about 2.5 miles out from Minot’s city center, and its Walk Score of 18 tells you what that means on the ground. Errands require a car, and so do most visits. Residents who have stopped driving will lean on the transportation services the community runs.

Inside, the shared spaces lean toward doing things. There’s a fitness center, billiards, a game room, a corner for arts and crafts. Pets come along, too, which matters more than it might sound to someone who has spent a decade with the same dog.

Meals accommodate various diets, so a resident managing a medical restriction gets handled within the regular kitchen rather than as an exception. Wheelchair accessible showers are built in, which supports bathing assistance without stripping away privacy.

What emerges is a community with an established track record and real range in the care it delivers, set in a spot where a car is part of the equation.

Overview of Edgewood Bismarck Senior Living

Edgewood Bismarck Senior Living sits at 3406 Dominion Street in Bismarck, North Dakota. It is a 38-bed community, and it covers a lot of ground: assisted living, nursing home care, independent living, memory care, respite care, and adult day care all under one roof. That span is uncommon for a building this size.

For families, the practical upshot is continuity: a resident whose needs shift over time may not have to pack up and start over somewhere new. That is worth something. It is also worth checking against your own situation, since breadth of care types on paper and the right fit for one person are not always the same thing.

The location earns its Walk Score of 85. Most errands can be done on foot here, and essentials sit close by. Visiting family will find that easy. So will residents who still handle their own outings.

Licensed nurses and CNAs staff the community. Short-term stays are available, which helps families working through a recovery, a caregiver’s time away, or a trial period before anyone commits. Adult day services round it out, offering a structured daytime option for older adults who still live in their own homes.

Thirty-eight beds puts this community in the middle range. That size often means staff who recognize residents on sight. Taken as a whole, Edgewood Bismarck Senior Living is built for older adults in Bismarck who want one address that can meet current needs and absorb a good deal of what follows.

Overview of Park Avenue Villa

Park Avenue Villa is a 37-bed community in Dickinson, North Dakota, run by St. Luke’s Home. What stands out first is the care range: nursing home care, assisted living, skilled nursing, and respite care all happen in the same building. For a family thinking three or five years ahead, that matters. A resident whose needs shift may not have to pack up and start over somewhere unfamiliar.

A Walk Score of 79 puts most errands within reach on foot, which helps residents who still get around independently and visitors who would rather not hunt for parking. Dickinson itself is a small city out in the western part of the state. Quieter than a metro area, and closer to town than many rural communities of this size.

Thirty-seven beds is small, and the staff here likely learn the names of residents well. The building is security-controlled with wheelchair access, an elevator, and emergency systems running around the clock.

Meals, housekeeping, laundry, personal care, social events. Rehabilitation services are on-site, so someone recovering from surgery or a hospital stay does therapy in the building instead of scheduling rides across town. Respite care fills a different gap, giving family caregivers short-term coverage when they need it. Home care rounds out the list.

Common areas include a dining room, a library, and a beauty shop. Small things, but they shape how a day feels.

For families looking in western North Dakota, Park Avenue Villa combines a small footprint, a wide care range, and a walkable address near town.

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 61 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.
