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.

Overview of The Springs at Missoula

The Springs at Missoula offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care in Missoula, MT. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, while assisted living adds help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.

Having all three care levels in one community can suit a resident whose needs grow over time, since moving to another level does not require leaving the community. The community opened in 2004 and has 74 beds, with one bedroom and two bedroom residences available for individuals or two people moving together.

The starting price is $7,800 per month, giving families a monthly figure for planning. Pets are allowed, so a resident can bring a pet to the community, and Jennifer Talkington serves as administrator.

A car dependent Walk Score of 41 means most errands require a car or ride, so a resident who no longer drives would need transportation for many outings. The community has a pool, salon and spa, movie theater, putting green, on site physical therapy, and rehabilitation services. The Footsteps® memory care program provides a named program within the memory care offering.

Starting Price $5,150/Month Info Pricing updated on October 7th, 2026

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 39 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.
