Overview of Missoula Health and Rehabilitation Center

Missoula Health and Rehabilitation Center has been part of its Rattlesnake Dr neighborhood for 17 years now, a 49-bed nursing home tucked into a stretch of Missoula where you pretty much need a car to get anywhere. Right now it’s running at 80 percent occupancy, and the average resident stays close to six months, 179 days to be exact.

The clinical side of things centers on rehabilitation. Residents have access to rehabilitation services, respite care, and short-term rehab, the kind of support that matters whether someone’s recovering from a hip replacement or settling in for longer-term nursing care. Nursing staff put in an average of 4 hours and 15 minutes of total nursing care per resident each day, which gives a sense of how much hands-on attention is built into the daily rhythm here. A wellness program rounds out the picture.

Coverage-wise, the facility takes Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, so families have options no matter where they are in figuring out how to fund care. Rebecca Davis administers the facility, and Karrie Holt holds the Executive Director role.

Montana’s Department of Public Health and Human Services, Quality Assurance Division, handles inspections statewide, and here those inspections have tended to circle back to medication management, infection control, and food service rather than anything tied to direct hands-on resident care.

Put together, this is a smaller nursing home built around rehabilitation and sustained nursing support, the kind of place suited to someone who needs real clinical attention day to day, not just a place to land.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Missoula, MT

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Montana?

Does Montana Medicaid cover nursing home care?

Yes — Montana Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.
