Assisted Living Communities in Helena, MT

"Son Heaven Assisted Living 2 is in a remote area. It’s a nice setting, but there’s no place to go during the day. If you want to go to a restaurant or to a store, you would have to take a bus. They do have transportation, and you can use it, but you have to book for a schedule. It’s nice and clean. They have nice staff, but there are no outside facilities. The staff who assisted me during my visit was very nice, personable, clean, and happy. "

"Renaissance Senior Care was willing to take mom after the previous place had her admitted to behavioral health. The staff seemed to be very caring and responsive when we did our tour. The community was small and seemed very much like a home rather than an institution. She has her own room, her own furniture, and whatnot, so she doesn't have to deal with a roommate all the time. Those were some of the factors that we looked at to choose this one. I know that they have several locations there. When we were trying to visit her over the holidays, we used the Map app and ended up at the wrong location. This is the one up near the hospital area, a few blocks from St. Peter's Hospital. My mom moved in right after Thanksgiving. It's an assisted living facility. We would like to get her eventually into a memory care facility, but this is a good level of care for her for now. She hasn't been there very long, but I can say that the staff is very personable. She seems to like it there for the most part and they are very understanding of her challenges. I haven't interacted with the staff a lot since I'm here in Seattle, but the ones that I did meet seemed very friendly and professional, and know what they're doing. They seem to have activities available beyond just watching TV. They have various things going on throughout the week. I can't give a bullet list but I know she is not bored there. It's a very comfortable facility and it's equipped for what my mom needs. It has a very residential feeling but it still has the ramps, the walk-in tub, and other things that folks who are in an assisted living environment need. Of course, one would always like to pay less but we understand that senior living has a cost to it and this was one of the less expensive options. Even though we haven't gone to the point where we need to pay with Medicaid yet, they were amenable to doing that after she qualifies for it so that was a comfort to us."

"Touchmarkwas larger, it offers memory care, assisted living, and independent. There's a wide variety of rooms, but the facility is old, and uses wall board heating, and the air conditioning unit is up the wall. If you're trying to put in furniture, you had to work around that. They had underground parking for the cars."

"Best care team of caregivers you can get. I have never heard one complaint from my wonderful friend who resides at Beehive. Home like setting and family like care! Managers are on top of all things, staff are well trained and the most friendliest people. I have listened without being seen and watched Without notice only one experience the best conversations and care, and that is what Every person in this life should encounter! Activites could be better! That’s my only low star!! "

"The staff is very helpful at Country Life, and I appreciated the follow up. The rooms are spacious and well-maintained. The dining room seems very nice. They have outings, exercise activities, bingo, and happy hour. Mom is adjusting, and the living environment is comfortable. "

"Masonic Home of Montana is nice. It’s an older building. It’s a place for men and veterans that aren’t so picky about the furnishings, because they are outdated; it is Victorian. It was very quiet when I visited. It is more like an institutional facility for men than it is for women. The place is clean and adequate. It just needs to be remodeled. "
