What to Consider About Assisted Living in Hamilton

The small town of Hamilton, population approximately 4,400, is the county seat of Ravalli County and is home to the Ravalli County Museum. Considered one of the best for a town of Hamilton’s size, the museum is listed on the National Register of Historic Buildings. Seniors, who make up nearly 25% of the town's population, may enjoy this and other sites before heading home to one of two assisted living facilities in Hamilton. 

In the state of Montana, assisted living homes are licensed as Personal Care Homes. The majority house fewer than 20 residents. The Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services has governance over these facilities as well as those in the rest of the state.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Hamilton

  • Both violent and property crime rates are higher in Hamilton than the U.S. averages. On a scale of 1 to 100 with 1 being low violent crime, Hamilton ranks 26.7, higher than the U.S. average of 22.7. The city’s property crime rate of 51.9 is significantly higher than the U.S. average of 35.4. Seniors should look for advanced security systems in any assisted living community they’re considering.
  • The cost of living in Hamilton is about on par with the U.S. average. Seniors may pay about 5% less for housing and 15% less for utilities, but they may pay about 10% more for groceries.
  • The Treasure State is not a tax-friendly one when it comes to retirees. Although Montana is one of five states that doesn't impose a general state sales tax, seniors in Hamilton pay taxes on all forms of retirement income, including Social Security.
  • Older adults who feel better when the sun is shining will find only 158 sunny days per year in Hamilton. This is lower than the U.S. average of 205. January’s average low is a chilly 19 degrees, and Hamilton receives about 32 inches of annual snowfall. July’s average summer high is around 84 degrees.
  • The Hamilton area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Marcus Daly Memorial Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Hamilton has an array of resources for seniors, including the Senior Center, which offers a lunch program, dance and music lessons, bingo and free internet classes on Center-provided computers.
