2026 Top Montana Senior Living Communities

Seniors living in Montana have a range of choices when it comes to communities. The state is home to large as well as smaller, more personalized communities.

How to Stay in Touch with a Loved One Online
Connection is vital for seniors. In recent years, additional lines of communication have opened for friends and family across the country and world. We are connecting via video calls like Zoom or FaceTime and these platforms are wonderful ways to keep in touch with loved ones, seniors especially. There are also apps like Words with Friends or popular games like sudoku that are perfect in this online setting.

Ranking The Best Senior Living Facilities in Montana

People flock to the Internet for reviews and buying advice for good reason. These days, online reviews make it easy for potential customers to judge a product or service and decide between their options. Senior living communities are no different, and to arrive at our top Montana senior living providers, we gathered the reviews left on our site along with Facebook and Google. We then crossed them with the Montana Department of Health to determine if there have been any citations or violations. 

A Montana senior living community costs on average $2,000 per month. Nursing homes and memory care provide the highest level of care, but that can be thousands more per month. On average, most communities include housing, meals, basic amenities, and services. Independent living is cheaper but the care component is not included.

What residents and loved ones have to say about Discovery Care Center:

I cannot say enough of the quality care I received at Discovery Care Center in Hamilton Montana. It was the best place to stay and recuperate from my broken ankle. The whole staff have hearts of gold and so much love and care for the beautiful people who reside there full-time. Every professional person that works at Discovery, no matter what shift, always have smiles and compassion for everyone. The only other comment I have, is that all the staff and all the sweet people that reside there full time, have one Angel Wing… you might ask where is the other Angel Wing?? When all of them open their eyes to our Heavenly Father, at that time they will have earned their other Wing!! Thank you for making my healing time a lot easier. Love & Light to all of the staff and all of the people who reside there! Janet Zimm

What residents and loved ones have to say about Butterfly Homes:

My mom has been a resident of Butterfly Homes since September 2022 and we couldn’t be more pleased. We found Butterfly homes when an acquaintance had mentioned how much they loved the care their elderly parent had received there. At Butterfly they treat you like family. The house looks and feels like a beautiful home. The food is all homemade and delicious. After my mom spent 1 1/2 years at a larger assisted living facility and not receiving the care she needed I am so happy to have found Butterfly Homes. Janet and her staff care about their residents and I couldn’t be more pleased.
