Overview of Sheridan Memorial Nursing Home

Plentywood, Montana sits in the state’s far northeastern corner, close enough to the North Dakota and Canadian borders that geography shapes daily life. Sheridan Memorial Nursing Home occupies 440 W Laurel Ave here, a 35-bed nursing home offering hospice care, in a neighborhood rated moderately walkable at a Walk Score of 60. Sheridan Memorial Hospital sits nearby, giving the facility a built-in acute-care backup.

Staffing is where this facility’s numbers stand out. Total nursing care runs 7 hours and 32 minutes per resident each day. Nurse aides account for the largest share of that time at 4 hours and 10 minutes, registered nurses contribute 1 hour and 9 minutes, and licensed practical nurses add 26 minutes. Weekend coverage holds close to weekday levels at 4 hours and 57 minutes. Residents also have a functioning resident council, a group that meets regularly to weigh in on policies, care quality, and the day’s activities.

State inspections here have centered on a familiar set of categories: medication management, infection control, staffing and staff credentials, and resident rights. Taken on their own terms, the reported nurse aide and total nursing hours run well above what many Montana facilities report.

For a resident who needs consistent, hands-on nursing support day to day, the staffing hours here are the clearest signal of what daily life looks like. Plentywood’s small-town setting and nearby hospital round out a picture of a facility built around direct care rather than a wide amenity list.

Heritage Living Center

5982 Tongue River Rd Po Box 598, Ashland, MT 59003
Overview of Heritage Living Center

Ashland, Montana sits in rural Rosebud County, and Heritage Living Center has served the area as a 40-bed nursing home administered by Sable Kerzmann. Reaching it means planning for a drive. The neighborhood carries a Walk Score of 3, placing it firmly in car-dependent territory, with few errands possible on foot.

Care here runs on two tracks; the first being short-term rehabilitation, which supports residents recovering from surgery, illness, or injury, while a second long-term rehab option exists for those whose needs extend further. Respite care gives families a break option, and staffing runs around the clock. Daily routines include communal dining, salon services, and an outdoor courtyard, with a regular slate of organized activities rounding out the calendar.

Montana’s Department of Public Health and Human Services, Quality Assurance Division oversees inspections statewide, and for Heritage Living Center those reviews have centered on emergency preparedness and staffing credentials, the kind of operational areas regulators commonly examine at nursing homes across the state.

For families weighing options in a rural stretch of southeastern Montana, Heritage Living Center offers structured rehabilitation and nursing care close to the Northern Cheyenne community, built for residents who need real clinical support rather than a lighter-touch living arrangement.
