Pathways Assisted Living Inc

Pathways Assisted Living Inc in Three Forks, Montana, has a smaller, home-like setting with only 11 licensed beds and focuses on personal care for seniors who need help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, grooming, and medication management, and you'll see right off folks going about their days in a relaxed, family-style community where there's always someone around to help if you need it but you can still do as much as you're able to on your own. Pathways has both private and shared rooms, plus a book room, salon, fitness areas like a steam room, a hot tub, and outdoor spaces where residents can rest or join in activities. Meals get planned to fit special diets for people with diabetes or high blood pressure, and you can expect daily prepared meals, outings, exercise, and social activities such as art, board games, movies, music therapy, and animal therapy, so days stay lively for those who want to join in. Staff here are trained to handle memory care for people with Alzheimer's and offer secure sections to prevent wandering, so families know their loved ones stay safe. Pathways also has respite and hospice care if you need a short stay or end-of-life support, and caregivers stay available 24 hours a day in case something comes up or someone needs help getting to the bathroom or out of bed. Transportation gets arranged for doctor visits, faith-based events, shopping, or movies in town, and a mobile barber or hairdresser keeps folks looking tidy right at the home. Even though it's not pet-friendly, Pathways stands out for its close-knit, kinship style, and being cross-trained means staff can step in wherever needed, which helps keep everyone cared for whether there's a rush or it's a slow day. The facility's known for being well regulated by Montana's Licensing Division, staying up with all rules and surveys, and offers a cost that's often lower than a nursing home. Regular schedules include a mix of social, fitness, and wellness programs to help everyone stay active and engaged. They're also working on plans to expand to larger, more rural spaces with even bigger rooms and more places for activities. The whole place feels honest, straightforward, and comfortable, with care that tries hard to feel personal in every detail.
