Overview of The Village Senior Residence

The Village Senior Residence is an assisted living community in Missoula, Montana, located on Old Fort Road about 3.4 miles from the city center. One of its most practical features is proximity to medical care, with Community Medical Center’s emergency department roughly a fifth of a mile away, which can offer real peace of mind for families whose loved one may need quick access to a hospital.

The community is one of the larger assisted living options in the area, with 117 beds, and it is relatively new, having been in operation for about two years. That newer building often means more current layouts and systems, and the larger size typically supports more common spaces and organized group activities than a small residential home can offer. The neighborhood scores 49 out of 100 for walkability, so a few errands may be reachable on foot while most outings will involve a short drive. Pets are welcome, which matters to residents who want to bring a companion animal along.

State inspection history for the community is mixed over the years, with a clean renewal review on record alongside earlier findings tied to building safety and care documentation. Families touring the community can ask how those safety and recordkeeping practices are handled day to day, which is a useful window into how the home operates.
