Bozeman Health Hillcrest Senior Living, Aspen Pointe, sits on a ridge at 1201 Highland Blvd with views of the Gallatin Valley and the surrounding mountains, and the place stays quiet most days unless there's an activity or a group heading out for a field trip, which happens pretty often since the full-time activity directors make sure folks have outings, walking clubs, book clubs, and all sorts of events to keep minds and bodies going. The community has both independent and assisted living apartments in sizes ranging from studio to three bedrooms, and the homes are set up with full kitchens, washers and dryers, big closets, and storage lockers, and quite a few homes have patios or balconies so you can look out at mountain scenery, flowers in the spring, or snow during the long winters, plus some units let cats or dogs move in too if that's important. The apartments are climate controlled, and the buildings have all the safety systems in place like sprinklers, smoke detectors, and emergency-call buttons, which helps folks feel settled, and there's underground parking for a fee if you want to keep a car, but if going out gets to be too much, transportation's available for shopping or appointments, and most of what people need-like banking, notary, or postal drop-offs-happens right there on site.
People who want care or a little extra support can get help with medication, bathing, getting dressed, and other daily things, and for those who need even more, the Birchwood assisted-living option is right next door with help for diabetic care, non-ambulatory needs, and incontinence support, always with licensed nurses and trained caregivers on site. You'll see staff cleaning apartments, keeping up hallways, or answering call buttons at any hour, and the place is tobacco free, with maintenance, security, and help shared from Bozeman Health, which is a long-standing name in the area. There's never a long-term lease, but a security deposit and a one-time application fee are standard, while monthly prices include utilities, cable TV, Wi-Fi, meals planned by chefs, transportation, weekly housekeeping, and laundry. The apartments go between 660 and 1,590 square feet, and some have upgrades like fireplaces or granite counters. Most things are designed so seniors can be active if they want or rest if they need, with lots of cozy common spaces, community patios, fitness centers, tennis courts, a pool, and walking trails right out the front, plus libraries, a computer lab, and even a greenhouse and garden plots where residents can grow flowers or vegetables year-round.
Meals get served restaurant-style with changing menus, and the dining room looks out over the valley, which makes breakfasts and dinners pretty pleasant, and the place keeps a hair salon, spa, and barber on site, so haircuts or a massage don't require leaving the building. Wine and cheese socials, guest speakers, educational classes, and spiritual programs fill the calendar, and guests can visit overnight if needed since there are guest accommodations available, and parking isn't usually too hard to find. Public spaces feature rustic furniture and an open Montana-lodge look, with big windows for mountain views and spots to gather for cards, movies, or a quiet cup of coffee, and security staff keep an eye on things at all hours. The staff have a reputation for being kind and helpful, and the community earns high marks for keeping folks engaged and safe. Details and amenities can be found on the property website, with video tours available for those who want a closer look.
