Montana Retirement Communities
Retirement communities bring seniors out of an isolated living situation and offer a variety of services and social interaction possibilities. Services vary in each retirement community and may include daily rounds to check on residents, meal plans, light housecleaning, activity director and programs, transportation assistance for scheduled appointments and shopping, wellness clinic, physical therapy or exercise programs. Please see the details in the listing for each retirement community or call them for more information.
Assisted living is a wonderful alternative for seniors that require more attention, but do not need full time care. Assisted living normally provides all meals, medication programs to assist residents in taking their prescribed medicines, regular rounds, housecleaning, assistance with dressing or bathing as needed, and more. Prices vary depending on the level of assistance required. In addition, Kalispell is fortunate to have some retirement communities with secured memory care wings for those struggling with Alzheimer's or dementia.
Nursing & Convalescent Homes
Nursing homes provide full time care to senior residents. Nursing and convalescent homes are staffed with registered nurses 24 hours a day. Retirement homes usually provide rehabilitative services and therapy to help seniors regain ambulatory movement. When possible, seniors may be able to move back to an assisted living facility. See details in each nursing home or retirement home listing for services provided.
