Overview of Continental Care and Rehabilitation

Continental Care and Rehabilitation is a nursing home in the Meaderville neighborhood of Butte, Montana, offering memory care, respite care, and skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means licensed nurses are on site around the clock, while memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.

Respite care is available for a short stay when a family’s usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. The community may be a good fit for someone who needs memory support or for a family arranging temporary care. Rehabilitation services are also available for residents recovering or working to maintain function.

Total nurse staffing is 4 hours and 38 minutes per resident each day, representing the total daily nursing time assigned per resident. Staff are available at any time, including overnight.

The home has 100 beds. Payment options include Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay: Medicare covers short term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long term residence, Medicaid can help when savings may not cover a long stay, and private pay means paying directly for care. Jason Bell serves as the administrator.

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?
