Big Sky on Waterford

Big Sky Senior Living on Waterford Way sits on a neat property with nice mountain views in Butte, Montana, though it's also listed as being in Anaconda, and serves folks aged 55 and older with options for independent living, assisted living, memory care, and nursing home services, so people can find help for many stages of aging, whether they're pretty independent or need more steady care. The community's got studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, and the feel's pretty home-like, with staff who aim to make things comfortable and familiar, providing care all day, every day, for those who need it. Meals are made by an executive chef and served daily, and there's housekeeping, cable TV, utilities, and transportation included for one price, which makes things easier for folks who want to avoid extra chores or bills. For memory care, they say they follow a holistic approach, with programs that try to help residents with dementia feel secure, and there's a focus on routines-plenty of activities, community events, and even gardening with raised beds where people can get their hands in the dirt, which some folks really enjoy. Amenities include a beauty and barber salon, an indoor theater, and organized wellness programs to keep the mind and body active, and the staff's known for being attentive and friendly, giving the place a bit of a family feel. The facility has connections to emergency medical services and supports residents with co-occurring disorders, which means they look out for folks with more complex health needs, and they've also got programs for service providers, sponsors, and yearly conferences, though those are things relatives might notice more than residents themselves. Reviews land at about 3.0 from a dozen people, showing some mixed opinions, which is pretty common for senior communities. People say the grounds are well-kept, and the community aims for maintenance-free living, so residents can relax and join in where they like without worrying about repairs or yard work, and memberships like AAA can get some deals on pricing. Big Sky on Waterford keeps its doors open all day and night, so help's always close, and the website's available at bigskyseniorliving.com for more information.
