Highgate Senior Living - Bozeman sits at 2219 West Oak Street in Bozeman, Montana, right near shopping and with mountain views that people tend to appreciate, and you'll find communities like theirs in a few other cities too. The place has several living options under one roof, kind of like having a few neighborhoods together, where folks find independent living in places called Villas or Lofts with ground-level rooms, an attached garage, a garden, and a fireplace, and then there's The Manor that has different-sized apartments for people who need more help. Highgate at Bozeman can handle changing health needs, so someone might start off in independent or couples care, but if things change, there's assisted living and memory care too, and even options for short respite stays.
Highgate's known for its holistic approach, focusing on meaningful days and purposeful living, and there's memory care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, where doors are secure and the staff knows how to help folks with memory trouble. Meals are made fresh and meant to be both healthy and good tasting, and everyone gets access to amenities like the beauty shop, spa, lounges, entertainment, a bingo parlor, and activity areas, and there's a handyman around for fixing things in the rooms. Activities are simple and meant for social, physical, or mental engagement, and the culture feels friendly because a lot of the staff, from receptionists to RNs, stay around and get to know the residents.
People in the Villas live independently but can join meals and community outings, while assisted living residents get help with things like bathing and medication, and home care aides bring non-medical help to those who need it. Memory care features extra security for those who wander or get confused, and the RN team helps with care planning and medicine. Couples can live together even if each needs a different level of care. Resources like an Aging Wisely Blog, videos, and guides prepare seniors for daily life, emergencies, and handling legal matters. The place sits just north of Yellowstone and holds awards for care and a strong review score, and it offers tours for those interested in learning more about the community.
