Mt Gems – Ruby House is an assisted living home in Great Falls, Montana, located on 2nd Avenue South about half a mile from the city center. It is a small, single-story residence with 19 beds, a scale that many families find calmer and more personal than a large multi-level community.

Housing here is offered in private rooms, giving each resident their own space and a measure of privacy within a close-knit setting.

The home has been in operation for three years, and its size lends itself to a familiar daily rhythm where staff and residents come to know one another well.

That kind of central, walkable setting makes visiting easier for nearby family and gives residents and guests a neighborhood they can move through comfortably.

Overview of The Ivy at Great Falls

The Ivy at Great Falls sits at 1130 17th Ave S in Great Falls, Montana, and it’s a big place. With 278 beds, it’s built to handle a lot of different people at once: someone recovering from surgery who just needs a few weeks of rehab, and someone who’s going to call this place home for a long while.

The average resident stays about 152 days, somewhere between a short rehab stint and a long-term placement. Right now the facility is running at 39% occupancy, so there’s real room here. If your family is trying to move fast, that matters; since you’re not going to end up on a waiting on a waitlist.

Getting around the neighborhood on foot is doable but limited. The Walk Score sits at 43 out of 100, somewhat walkable, so you might reach a handful of nearby spots without a car, but plan on driving for most errands or visits.

Money-wise, The Ivy works with Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, so there’s flexibility depending on your situation. Medicaid covers the largest share of new residents, 37%, and those stays tend to run long, averaging 10 to 11 months. That tells you something real: this is a place built around steady, ongoing nursing care for people settling in for a while, not just a quick stop on the way somewhere else.
