With approximately 130,000 seniors in the entire state of Montana, the state is rather large with a relatively small senior population. This may be the limiting factor when searching for assisted living facility or adult foster care homes. Based on government documentation in 2004, there were 177 adult foster care (assisted living) homes in the state with a total of 3740 residents. The majority of the seniors live in the cities of Bozeman, Billings, Kalispell, Miles City, Great Falls, Butte, Havre and Helena. Outside of these cities, assisted living facilities are few and far between. The overall cost of living index is as surprising 102 with groceries being the most expensive component
at 107. These factors combine to make it challenging to find the best Montana senior living options including assisted living facilities, Alzheimer;s care centers, nursing homes and independent living communities.
