6 Nursing Homes Communities in Missoula County, Montana

I lived at Grizzly Peak for a while. They had small rooms, but everything was fancy there. I liked it, but it cost me too much. We had bingo, bowling, card games, board games, went on tours, there was a library club, and there was someone that reads to us. My studio was very small but it had a bathroom. There were some things that I couldn't participate in because they didn't have a bus that was wheelchair accessible. I couldn't even get my walker up onto their bus. The facility was really nice and they kept it very clean. There were lots of windows and doors.

We would have chosen The Auberge at Missoula Valley if my parents decide to go to assisted living. The place was clean and friendly, and the guy who did the tour was really nice. They would have met my parents' needs in terms of medicine dispensing and things of that nature. We were told while we were there that some other company had bought them out. While we toured the community, we saw one of the one-bedrooms. We saw people coming down to dinner although we didn't eat there. They had a great activities director. We met her and we were told that they had activities like quilting, bingo, they have a book club. They also had a TV camera that they use for watching Ospreys, so people can go and see that. I think that was so cool. They also have a van to take the residents out to doctor's appointments or shopping. They have a lot of good things that people could get involved in if they choose to do activities. There's a garden out back that people could help with as well. I found the place to be very clean, and the staff we met was very nice and informative.

The Springs at Missoula is very impressive. When you walk in, it feels like a nice hotel atmosphere. The staff was extremely helpful.

My tour at Grizzly Peak was really good. They had somebody sit with me down at the office and we went over some brochures and and toured me around the place. They're doing a really good job in looking at what they could do compared to what needs to be done, and they're really professional. They had multiple buildings which looked fine, and they also showed us empty rooms. There wasn't a shower in the rooms, they had to go down the hallway for that. They had some people in the break rooms who seemed pretty happy with the place. We also talked to the cook. One building was smaller than the other, and the room we saw was fine, and they have more facilities than other places. On the wall, it looked like there were crafts. The place was clean, but just a little small.

We visited the assisted living of The Springs at Missoula, although they also showed us the memory care level. It's one of the good places in town. They couldn't show us the rooms but they gave us a tour of the actual facilities. We saw one of the restroom sections, they also had individual rooms and double person rooms. They had modern facilities and a really big dining room setup restaurant style with individual tables. The admission room itself or the lobby is a pretty good size, and people were sitting there and visiting. They also had a big kitchen, an activities room although I didn't see anything going on at the time. They definitely have everything needed to take the residents busy, and there's a van that takes them shopping and things like that.
