What to Consider About Assisted Living in Saint Ignatius

The small community of St. Ignatius is located at the base of the Mission Mountains on the Flathead Indian Reservation and is home to about 850 people, an estimated 125 of whom are aged 65 and over. The city has a relatively low crime rate, with violent crime and property crime each rating 19 on a 100-point crime index. This may make it a good option for seniors seeking out a safe community to retire to. 

Even with its small population size, St. Ignatius has two assisted living facilities, which are categorized based on the level of care they are licensed to provide. Like all assisted living facilities in the state, these facilities in St. Ignatius are governed by the Department of Public Health and Human Services.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Saint Ignatius

  • The overall cost of living in St. Ignatius is on par with the national average and about 2% lower than the statewide average, which may make it a financially feasible option for seniors with tight assisted living budgets.  
  • Summers in St. Ignatius are comfortable with highs in the 70-85 degree range, and winters are cold with highs in the mid-30s. The area gets about 35 inches of snow per year, which is several inches higher than the national average and may be a consideration for seniors who use mobility aids.  
  • St. Ignatius's air quality is very good, rating 92 out of 100 compared to the national average of 58. This indicates less air pollution, which is beneficial to seniors with respiratory or cardiovascular conditions.
  • The St. Ignatius area has few facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Ronan.
  • St. Ignatius has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Western Montana Area VI Area Agency on Aging, an organization that provides a supplemental food program, advocacy and information and assistance for area seniors, as well as one senior center.
  • While all forms of retirement income are taxed at the state level in St. Ignatius, seniors whose income is below a certain amount can claim a deduction on Social Security benefits. This may leave more money in the budget for assisted living.
