Granite Co M C Nursing Home sits at 310 S Sansome in Philipsburg, Montana, and acts as a rural health care provider offering a mix of care types for older adults. The place has both short-term and long-term nursing care, with special units for memory loss and osteoarthritis, and also helps those with dementia, Alzheimer's, cancer, kidney disease, or people getting weaker from age or chronic illness. Nurses and doctors provide check-ups, make treatment changes, and carry out medical tasks like blood work, tracheostomies, injections, and intravenous therapy, so there's someone watching out for all kinds of health needs, and they've got support from hospitals like St. Patrick Hospital and Community Medical Center Inc. when something really acute comes up. Folks there can get speech, respiratory, occupational, and physical therapy aimed at helping them get back strength or deal with challenges, and people who need help with getting dressed, bathing, eating, or other daily activities have non-medical staff on hand too.
They offer housing and care for those who want independent living or assisted living help, as well as memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia, plus respite and hospice care with help from Compassus Hospice. There are options for active seniors who want some independence but still like housekeeping, laundry, and 1-2 daily meal programs. The setting is pretty friendly to wheelchairs, and some parts are close to Philipsburg's uptown, so residents can get a taste of local history or just relax. The nursing home aims to make life active and social, with recreational staff and social workers planning things like games, dinners, community events, trips for shopping, or outings when the weather lets up. Summer barbecues out in the landscaped courtyard and the annual holiday meal bring people together, and volunteers often stop by for visits. There's a structured environment, especially in the memory care section, to help prevent wandering or reduce confusion for people with dementia.
Around-the-clock emergency care stands ready, with a 24/7 emergency room in Philipsburg, and they're licensed as a Rural Health Clinic in both Philipsburg and Drummond. Nurses, doctors, social workers, therapists, and other helpers work as a team, and the facility has radiology, CT, lab diagnostics, and infusion therapy right on site, so residents don't need to leave town for routine things or emergencies. Assisted living services cover things like dressing, bathing, and basic health help, and the nursing home also offers transitional and extended care when someone's moving between hospital and home. A patient portal lets people manage health records or pay bills online. Medicaid's accepted for some payment needs, and the facility might take part in state and federal programs for dementia and Alzheimer's care. The place gives tours to visitors who want to see the rooms and meet the staff, and residents can enjoy physical and wellness programs designed to keep them engaged and moving. Granite Co M C Nursing Home is run as a government agency, led by a CEO with a wide range of healthcare experience. The facility's overall goal is to bring useful and compassionate care to seniors in a setting where community, health, and safety matter.
