Open Arms Elder Care sits at 505 Minnesota St in Belgrade, Montana, and has offered care since 1996, managed by President Rod Vanover and Vice President Mrs. Faith Vanover, with a focus on giving seniors a safe and home-like place. The facility stays small, with only seven private rooms, so residents get individual attention and can enjoy a family-focused space, and most rooms have private living areas, with some having kitchenettes for more independence. There's a variety of care options under the "Open Arms Elder Care" name, so residents might get independent living, assisted living, home care, memory care, adult day services, skilled nursing, home health care certified by Medicare, and hospice, and there's also respite care for short-term stays. The community helps seniors with daily needs like help with getting dressed, bathing, taking medications, and meals; trained aides also offer companionship and non-medical support.
The grounds include two outdoor decks, landscaped gardens, and shared spaces where people can relax or join music and aromatherapy sessions for a bit of enjoyment, and sometimes children come by for intergenerational activities which brings energy and friendly company. Residents gather every day in the kitchen for three home-cooked meals plus snacks, and people can use cable TV, wifi, and a beauty salon, or join daily scheduled activities set up by the staff or even by the residents themselves. Live-in managers stay on-site all the time to make sure people feel secure day and night, and the staff helps keep things clean with housekeeping and linen services, so everyone can focus on enjoying their day. There are support and referral services for families and residents who need extra help, and the care programs keep individual needs in mind, especially for seniors needing special attention or end-of-life support. All the amenities and services at Open Arms Elder Care aim to give comfort, safety, and a sense of community, so folks feel cared for without giving up their independence or having to leave the familiar surroundings they know.
