The Village Senior Residence in Missoula delivers three levels of care—independent living, assisted living, and memory care—so residents can remain in the same community as their needs change. Short-term respite stays are available for families who need temporary support, and specialized diabetes management and on-site speech therapy help residents maintain daily routines. Memory care programming is in a separate, purpose-designed area intended to minimize confusion and maximize safety for those living with dementia.
A nurse is on site to oversee medication management, incontinence care, ambulatory assistance, and individualized care plans. Residents have access to visiting dentists and podiatrists, and hospice services can be arranged when required. A secured perimeter, an emergency call system monitored around the clock, and a facility-wide sprinkler system combine to enhance safety. The team also offers pet-focused programs for residents whose care plans permit animal companionship.
Private and semi-private units are offered in studio and efficiency layouts, some with balconies, patios, ground-floor access, or wheelchair-accessible showers. Central air conditioning, utilities, cable or satellite television, wall-to-wall carpeting, and kitchenettes are available in many—but not all—apartments. Select units feature washers and dryers, fireplaces, or direct access to outdoor garden areas. Housekeeping and maintenance are included, and parking is provided for residents who still drive.
Daily meals are prepared by a professional chef and served in a restaurant-style dining room, with all-day dining options and room service for those who prefer to eat in their apartments. Menus can be tailored to kosher, vegetarian, gluten-free, no-sugar, and other physician-ordered diets. Guest meals are available for visiting family, and special dining programs encourage social interaction.
Residents can stay engaged through an activity calendar that includes an on-site activity center, game room, arts and crafts sessions, trivia games, bingo, movie nights, stretching classes, gardening club, health and wellness programs, library and computer lounge access, educational speakers, wine tastings, happy hours, social outings, day trips, holiday parties, dances, and intergenerational service projects. A swimming pool and designated outdoor spaces support physical activity, while community clubs and lifelong learning events foster ongoing social, educational, and recreational involvement.
