Marias Heritage Center, now called Logan Health - Shelby Assisted Living, sits at 111 2nd Street South in Shelby, Montana, with a history going back to 1948 when it was built as a hospital and nursing home, then remodeled in 1998 for retirement living. The facility provides assisted living care and support for seniors from Toole County and nearby areas, offering 40 assisted living units, some with large studios, spacious closets, and kitchenettes, with both private and shared apartment options. Residents get help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, transfers, and eating, and the staff is available 24 hours a day for supervision, emergencies, or medication management, along with help for those who need special care, like Parkinson's care, diabetes monitoring, speech therapy, and mobility assistance. There's a nurse on staff, routine health assessments by physicians, and individual care plans for each resident.
The community features furnished rooms, including cable, telephone, and WiFi, plus housekeeping, personal laundry, and linen service, with all utilities paid so residents don't have to worry about chores or bills. Meals are prepared and served in a dining room with restaurant-style service, all-day dining, special dietary options for allergies or diabetes, snacks between meals, and eating assistance for those who need it, and residents can also use kitchenettes in their rooms if they want to make their own food. Senior independence is important here, but help's available when someone needs it, from medication to personal care. There are amenities like a library and reading room, garden, arts and crafts classes, beauty and barbershop, on-site parking, and walking paths, plus family support groups, a mental wellness program, special occasion parties, movie nights, and both community-run and resident-run events for socializing. Residents can bring their pets for companionship, use indoor and outdoor common spaces, and enjoy maintenance-free living without needing to keep up a home.
Marias Heritage Center offers memory care and respite care as well as independent living and adult residential care homes, matching different care needs through semi-private and private rooms, including options for those with lower mobility or who need help transferring out of bed. Transportation service, move-in coordination, and special concierge support are all offered, and the emergency alert system and 24-hour call system help keep residents safe. The place focuses on giving seniors a comfortable environment with support, healthcare, and ways to stay active. It's licensed under Montana license #13331 and has kept up with changing needs over the years to serve seniors looking for both independence and attentive care in a familiar, local setting.
