Overview of Valley View Heights

Valley View Heights is a nursing home in Bismarck, North Dakota, offering nursing, assisted living, and skilled nursing care at 2500 Valley View Avenue. The community is built around 64 apartment units across a two-story building, with private rooms throughout, so each resident has their own space. It sits about 2.6 miles from the center of Bismarck and roughly a mile and a half from CHI St. Alexius Health Bismarck Emergency and Trauma Center, which is worth noting for anyone weighing how close hospital care would be in an emergency.

Staffing runs around the clock, which matters for families thinking about response time if something happens overnight. The care here extends past general availability to hands-on mobility support, with staff trained to help residents transfer between bed and wheelchair. That kind of physical assistance points to a setting equipped for residents with real day-to-day care needs rather than only light help.

Daily life is handled comprehensively. Meals, housekeeping, and personalized personal care cover the essentials, while a hair salon, chapel services, and a regular activities calendar round out the parts of life beyond direct care. Transportation services are available for trips off the property, and the community offers fitness and recreation as well.

The neighborhood scores 27 out of 100 for walkability, meaning a few nearby services are reachable on foot but most outings will involve a car. For families, that puts the focus on what the community itself provides, and here that covers a full slate of daily support.

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.
