Clark Fork Riverside sits at 301 W Front St in Missoula, Montana, overlooking the scenic Clark Fork River on the south side and showing the town on the north, so residents see both nature and city life, and you can feel how the views really add to the peaceful setting, especially if you take a stroll along the riverbank or spend some time exploring nearby trails. The community offers independent living for seniors seeking an active lifestyle, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing, all within one place, and the services support a wide range of needs, including diabetic care by trained staff, incontinence care, non-ambulatory care, and extra walking or wheelchair help, so everyone gets the help they need. The apartments are roomy, with big bedrooms, private balconies, washers and dryers, and sliding glass doors for easy access to the outdoors, plus there's options for kitchenettes if folks like to do a little cooking for themselves, which makes daily life comfortable and easy, and the management keeps everything clean and well cared for.
Older adults here enjoy plenty of common areas inside for relaxing, reading, or joining in conversations, plus WiFi and well-stocked libraries, a modern fitness center for group classes and workouts, a hair salon, a masseuse, and game rooms for cards or activities, so there's always something happening, and it helps everyone socialize and get to know each other. The staff focus on making residents feel at home and take care of housekeeping, maintenance, and laundry, with management available on-site and ready to help, so families don't have to worry about the little things. There's fresh and nutritious meal services prepared by chefs, a guest dining room for visitors, and devotional services off-site to respect different religious beliefs, as well as a strong effort to promote community through games, arts and crafts, outings, classes, wellness programs, and events.
Safety and comfort are a priority, with features like a sprinkler system and barrier-free access throughout, plus you'll find a friendly mix of neighbors thanks to project-based Section 8 housing for older adults and other independent living options. Long-term care insurance is accepted, and residents can also use nearby home care and hospice services. Outdoor activities fill the event calendar too, with Caras Park right there, featuring festivals, a carousel, community gatherings under the pavilion, and even improvement projects like new weather-resistant playgrounds, and you'll find the street décor programs and flower baskets add to the town's charm. This place has a long history as a retirement community in Missoula, and it's designed for seniors who want a good balance of independence, support, comfort, and opportunities to connect or relax, and the staff here know how important it is to listen to residents' choices and personal preferences.
