Overview of Timbers and Reflections at the Grandview at Benefis

The Grandview at Benefis has been open for three years now, sitting at 3015 18th Ave S in Great Falls, Montana. It’s a 71-bed community, administered by David Krebs, and it covers three levels of care under one roof: assisted living, nursing home care, and memory care. The neighborhood itself is car-dependent territory, with a Walk Score of 26, so most errands are going to mean driving rather than walking.

Great Falls Clinic Hospital sits just 0.17 miles away, close enough that in a real emergency, the distance barely factors in. That’s worth weighing seriously for anyone comparing options where hospital access could matter.

Because assisted living, nursing home care, and memory care all exist in the same building, a resident can move between them as needs change, without a family having to restart the search for a new placement somewhere else. That kind of built-in continuity tends to matter most exactly when you’re not expecting to need it.

Registered nurses provide 2 hours and 8 minutes of care per resident each day, and nurse aides add another 2 hours and 16 minutes. There’s also physical therapy on-site, at 19 minutes per resident per day.

The Grandview at Benefis is a newer facility that’s leaned hard into flexibility: three care levels in one location, a hospital close enough to matter, and staffing that reflects real day-to-day clinical presence. For a family anticipating that a resident’s needs might shift over time, that combination of continuity and proximity is a very useful thing.

Parkhaven

100 Hamilton Court, Manhattan, MT 59741
Overview of Parkhaven

Sixty-two beds and three years of operation put Parkhaven, a Manhattan, Montana assisted living community, on the newer side of the field. Crystal Hamilton administers the property, which sits in Madison County in a moderately walkable stretch of southwestern Montana. A Walk Score of 57 means some errands can be handled on foot, with a mix of amenities within reach.

Memory care runs alongside standard assisted living here, backed by licensed nurses and CNAs covering the building around the clock. Respite stays give families a short-term placement option when home care becomes unsustainable for a while. Gallatin County Memorial Hospital, the nearest acute-care resource, sits within reach for residents who need it.

Regulatory reviews at Parkhaven have touched several standard categories over time: medication management, fire-safety systems, staffing credentials, care planning and documentation, and fall and injury prevention. These are important aspects of care families consider when evaluating assisted living communities, which is why inspectors focus on them.

The pairing of memory care with continuous nursing coverage sets Parkhaven up for residents who need more than baseline assisted living support, particularly those navigating memory-related decline alongside everyday physical care needs. A newer community with an established staffing model, it fits families weighing options in a smaller Montana town.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care in Montana

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Montana?

Assisted living in Montana supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

Does Montana Medicaid cover memory care?

Montana Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, but most states (including Montana) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.

How many memory care communities are listed on this page?

This page features 62 memory care communities in Montana. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right memory care community in Montana?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Montana, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting memory care communities in Montana?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
