Overview of Valley View Heights

Sixty-four apartment units, two stories, private rooms throughout: that’s the basic shape of Valley View Heights, an assisted living community at 2500 Valley View Avenue in Bismarck. Walkability sits at 27, somewhat walkable, so a few nearby services are reachable on foot but most trips still mean getting in a car.

Staffing runs around the clock here, which matters for families thinking about emergency response time. Beyond general availability, there’s specific mobility support too: staff trained to help residents transfer between bed and wheelchair, a detail that speaks to a population with real physical care needs, not just light assistance.

Daily life gets handled comprehensively. Meals, housekeeping, and personalized personal care cover the basics, while a hair salon, chapel services, and a regular activities calendar round out life beyond direct care. Transportation services fill the gap for trips off-property.

Valley View Heights is a genuinely comprehensive assisted living community, with round-the-clock staffing paired with hands-on mobility support and a full slate of daily services, in a Bismarck setting where the community itself carries most of the weight for residents’ day-to-day needs.
