Overview of MorningStar Senior Living of Billings

MorningStar Senior Living of Billings offers assisted living and memory care in Billings, MT. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication, while memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.

Respite care provides a short stay for a family whose usual caregiver needs to travel or recover, while short-term rehabilitation offers a temporary recovery-focused option.

Overview of TenderNest

TenderNest is a small assisted living and memory care home in Billings, Montana, located on Parkhill Drive on the city’s west side. With just 16 beds in a single-story building, it offers an intentionally intimate setting, the kind of place where staff and residents get to know one another well and daily life stays quieter than it would in a large community. That scale often appeals to families who want close, personal attention for a loved one rather than a big campus with long amenity lists.

The home is administered by Nate Swenson and provides personalized care around the clock. Day-to-day support covers bathing, grooming, help with mobility, medication management, and housekeeping, along with transportation and an ongoing schedule of activities and programs. Because TenderNest offers memory care alongside assisted living, it can serve residents who need a more structured, supervised environment as cognitive needs change, which can spare a family a disruptive move later on.

Practical touches round out daily life here. Transportation services help residents get to appointments and errands, fitness and recreation programming supports staying active, and the home welcomes pets, which can matter a great deal to residents bringing a companion animal along. The neighborhood scores 46 out of 100 for walkability, so a few nearby destinations are reachable on foot while most outings will involve a short drive.

Location is a strong point for families managing care from a distance or coordinating with medical providers. TenderNest sits about 5.5 miles from downtown Billings and roughly a mile from SCL Health St. Vincent hospital, which keeps emergency and specialist care close at hand. Senior residential care facilities in Montana are inspected and licensed by the state Department of Public Health and Human Services, so TenderNest operates under regular state oversight. Together, the small size, the combined assisted living and memory care, and the proximity to a major hospital make it worth a closer look for families seeking a home-style setting in Billings.

Overview of Primrose Personal Care Home

Primrose Personal Care Home is an assisted living and memory care community in Billings, Montana, located on Maurine Street about 4.5 miles from the city center. The home has been serving the Billings area for 15 years, giving it a settled operating history in the community. It is led by principal Hunter Johnson.

The community is a single-story building, a layout many families appreciate because it keeps living spaces on one level and avoids stairs and elevators for residents with mobility concerns. Housing comes in studio and one-bedroom options, so residents can choose between a compact, easy-to-manage space or a little more room. The single-level design also tends to make the setting feel more residential and navigable than a larger multi-story community.

Because Primrose offers both assisted living and memory care, it can support residents who need help with everyday tasks as well as those living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. That combination can matter to families planning ahead, since a resident whose care needs change over time may be able to remain in a familiar setting. Day-to-day life is supported by transportation services and fitness and recreation programming, which help residents stay connected to the wider Billings area and active within the community.

The neighborhood scores 25 out of 100 for walkability, so a few errands may be reachable on foot while most outings will involve a short drive. For visiting family, the location off Maurine Street is an easy stop within Billings.
