Sunrise Bluff Estates

Sunrise Bluff Estates sits on a bluff overlooking the Upper Missouri River in Fort Benton, MT, and has a calm, friendly feeling when you walk inside, with studio and one-bedroom apartments that are modern, light, and cheerful, each with their own heating and air conditioning, and you'll notice the building is non-smoking, has elevators for easy access between floors, and includes fire alarms and smoke detectors for safety, while utilities are included in the rent except for phone, cable TV, and internet in the apartments. The community is age-restricted for those 55 and older, offers Section 8 (202) rent based on income, and supports very low-income seniors with affordable independent living in a secure, maintenance-free home, and the friendly staff-all trained and on duty 24 hours-are there to help with emergencies, moving from bed to wheelchair, insulin and diabetic monitoring, incontinence care, non-ambulatory care, and general personal needs, and staff get to know residents by name and pay attention to each person. Residents get three meals a day served in a warm, social dining room, with consideration for special diets, and friends or family can join them at meals, while the kitchen aims to make nutritious food that saves residents time and money. Social spaces like the central lounge-outfitted with a large screen TV, piano, and organ-along with common areas for gatherings and regular devotional activities, make it easier for neighbors to meet and spend time together. The schedule is always full with social, educational, and entertaining activities, plus offsite outings, movement-focused sessions, and church services from all the local churches, so folks can stay busy, stay connected, and keep their bodies and minds active, and there's access to a city park, museums, shopping, banking, a post office, a senior center, and a nearby hospital staffed by two full-time doctors. Some apartments are designed for residents with mobility challenges and the overall layout supports wheelchair users, helping everyone feel included. Sunrise Bluff Estates keeps a small community feeling, focusing on safe and supportive living with amenities, privacy, and programs that can be tailored to each person's daily needs, and staff make an effort to check in on everyone and keep up the supportive, caring feeling that many call home.
