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 15 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.

Overview of Mt Gems – Ruby House

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. The single-story layout also means no stairs or elevators to navigate, which can matter a great deal for residents with limited mobility. 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. Transportation services help residents keep up with errands, appointments, and outings beyond the home, while fitness and recreation options give structure to the day and encourage residents to stay active. For families weighing a smaller home against a larger community, that combination of individualized attention and support with getting around is often a deciding factor.

Its location scores 85 out of 100 for walkability, meaning most everyday errands can be handled on foot and many essentials sit within a short walk. That kind of central, walkable setting makes visiting easier for nearby family and gives residents and guests a neighborhood they can move through comfortably. Being close to the heart of Great Falls also keeps the home convenient to the shops, services, and appointments that come up in ordinary life.

Overview of At Home Assisted Living

At Home Assisted Living provides assisted living, independent living, and memory care in Missoula, MT. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while a resident keeps a private living space; independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care; memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.

The community has 20 beds, making it a smaller setting where staff and residents can get to know each other. Its range of care levels may suit a resident whose needs grow over time, because moving to another level can happen without leaving the community or starting over socially. Dorothy Cantrell serves as the administrator.

Heritage Living Center

5982 Tongue River Rd Po Box 598, Ashland, MT 59003
Overview of Heritage Living Center

Ashland, Montana sits in rural Rosebud County, and Heritage Living Center has served the area as a 40-bed nursing home administered by Sable Kerzmann. Reaching it means planning for a drive. The neighborhood carries a Walk Score of 3, placing it firmly in car-dependent territory, with few errands possible on foot.

Care here runs on two tracks; the first being short-term rehabilitation, which supports residents recovering from surgery, illness, or injury, while a second long-term rehab option exists for those whose needs extend further. Respite care gives families a break option, and staffing runs around the clock. Daily routines include communal dining, salon services, and an outdoor courtyard, with a regular slate of organized activities rounding out the calendar.

Montana’s Department of Public Health and Human Services, Quality Assurance Division oversees inspections statewide, and for Heritage Living Center those reviews have centered on emergency preparedness and staffing credentials, the kind of operational areas regulators commonly examine at nursing homes across the state.

For families weighing options in a rural stretch of southeastern Montana, Heritage Living Center offers structured rehabilitation and nursing care close to the Northern Cheyenne community, built for residents who need real clinical support rather than a lighter-touch living arrangement.

Overview of The Lodge Senior Living

With administrator Dana Davis leading the facility’s operations, The Lodge Senior Living is a newly established assisted living community in Great Falls, Montana. It’s designed to serve older adults needing support with daily activities while maintaining self-sufficiency. Nestled in the Southside neighborhood at 1801 9th Street South, the facility offers assisted living and memory care services to occupants with varying needs. It opened its doors within the past year and currently provides care for residents across 112 beds. For families considering it, the Southside location has a Walk Score of 39, so some errands are walkable, but most outings demand transportation.

As a newer community, The Lodge Senior Living is still establishing its programs and services. The facility welcomes families to tour it to learn more about daily life, available room options, and the specific care and support services offered. Tours are an excellent way to see the physical space, meet staff, and know what daily routines and activities will look like for a resident. The community serves assisted living and memory care occupants, making it a suitable choice for families with individuals who have varying levels of care needs. It’s suggested that visitors inquire about the types of programs, therapies, and activities offered, plus how the staff bolsters residents in their personal care, medication management, and daily living activities.

Families can contact the facility directly for more details about services, pricing, and availability, plus to discuss their particular needs and learn how the home can support their dearest one.

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.

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 64 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.
