Overview of MorningStar Senior Living of Billings

Facebook Instagram LinkedIn

MorningStar Senior Living of Billings offers assisted living and memory care in Billings, MT. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication, while memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Having both care levels in one community may suit a resident whose needs could grow from assisted living to memory care without moving to another community.

The community has 106 beds and offers studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom residences. A studio provides a single private living space, while a two-bedroom residence can suit a couple moving together. Pets are allowed, so a resident may continue pet ownership after moving in.

Starting prices are $4,595 for assisted living and $6,195 for memory care. The memory care rate reflects the secured setting and supervision associated with that care level. Respite care provides a short stay for a family whose usual caregiver needs to travel or recover, while short-term rehabilitation offers a temporary recovery-focused option.

Executive chef-inspired meals are served in an all-day, restaurant-style dining setting, and residents can use the swimming pool, salon or spa, scheduled outings, and events. Rehabilitation services, wellness programs, and life enrichment activities are also available.
