Grizzly Peak in Missoula, MT is an independent living community that emphasizes ready access to health professionals. Residents can schedule sessions with on-site physical therapists, an important resource for maintaining mobility, balance, and overall strength. A visiting podiatrist is also available, helping residents address foot care needs that may affect comfort or gait. By keeping these clinicians on the calendar rather than off-site, Grizzly Peak reduces the need for outside appointments and supports more consistent follow-through on treatment plans.
Beyond direct clinical services, the community maintains routine wellness checks and coordinates closely with outside physicians when needed. Staff are present around the clock to respond to urgent concerns and to monitor changes in residents’ health status. Fitness and therapy programs are designed in consultation with the on-site therapists, giving residents structured opportunities to work on prescribed exercises. This integrated model aims to keep residents living independently while still benefiting from a reliable safety net of professional oversight.
Accommodations at Grizzly Peak include a range of apartment styles, each designed for aging-friendly navigation and equipped with emergency response features. Standard housekeeping is provided, and scheduled laundry services help residents stay on top of linens and clothing without having to manage machines themselves. Not all accommodations have every feature, so prospective residents are encouraged to review individual floor plans to verify specifics such as closet size, kitchenette configuration, or balcony availability.
Meals are prepared and served in a communal dining room with attention to balanced nutrition and portion control. For family events or special occasions, a private dining room can be reserved, allowing residents to host guests without leaving the campus. Menu adjustments for dietary restrictions are available, and the culinary staff works with residents and, when applicable, with the on-site therapists to align meal choices with individual health goals.
Residents have access to parking for personal vehicles, and scheduled community transportation is offered for medical appointments, shopping, and local outings. The campus is wheelchair accessible and features a barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, reliable internet access, and a library for reading or quiet study. Pets are allowed; it's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
