Benedictine Living Community-Bismarck sits in the city of Bismarck and serves Burleigh County, focusing on supporting residents' health, safety, and quality of life. The community offers a range of care, including assisted living, basic care, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and memory care, all under the same roof, so residents have options as their needs change, which is helpful for many families. The campus includes one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments for independent and assisted living, plus 41 basic care beds, 56 assisted living beds, 72 nursing facility beds, and 24 transitional care beds, so there's a spot for many different needs.
Residents get personalized care plans-staff, including the Director of Nursing, Rhonda Krueger (for skilled nursing), and Rick Lanz (for basic and assisted living), work with families to make sure each person's preferences, health requirements, and daily routines are taken into account, which goes a long way toward making people comfortable. Skilled nursing services cover long-term illnesses, chronic health issues, and short-term rehabilitation after surgery or injury, with therapy rooms for physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and people can get outpatient therapy as needed. Folks who live here can keep some independence while getting support for tasks like medication, bathing, meal preparation, and housekeeping, which many appreciate as they get older.
Meals come in a restaurant-style setting or at the bistro, and staff offers help for those who need it, so everyone gets to enjoy good food without worry. Community spaces encourage socializing, and planned activities fill the days, making it easier for people to find friendship and purpose. There's a strong faith-based atmosphere because Benedictine is a Catholic, mission-directed health system, so residents have the option of attending daily Catholic Mass and other spiritual services, with 24/7 chaplain support if someone wants a listening ear.
The community puts a lot of stock in treating people with respect and warmth, with a culture that values teamwork between staff and residents-for some, the familiar faces and reliable care bring real peace of mind. Specialized services cover memory care, adult day programs, respite care, and spiritual therapy, so residents' needs get covered at different stages. Safety is priority, but they also make life comfortable with amenities like therapy rooms, inviting living spaces, and community rooms for gathering or quiet time.
Benedictine Living Community-Bismarck works with what they call the "Living Community" care approach, which covers all aspects of wellness and personal choice, helping people live as fully and independently as possible. The campus has earned a bronze award from the American Health Care Association and the National Center for Assisted Living, which signals quality care. You'll find the Benedictine Experience here, which means a focus on compassion, hospitality, and the values that guide their mission to serve seniors. Overall, the facility offers basic care, assisted living, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and spiritual care all in a setting where residents' well-being and personal preferences matter.
