Lake View Care Center

Lake View Care Center sits at 1050 Grand Ave in Bigfork, MT, on a small hill where folks can look out over Flathead Lake and see the Swan Mountain range in the distance, and the place really tries to feel like a family lake house with warm rooms, friendly people, and a community that welcomes pets and enjoys lake-view sunsets. The center's a Continuing Care Retirement Community, so people get help that fits their changing needs-there's assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care with a memory unit for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, nursing home services, and even adult day care, plus transitional care for folks recovering after a hospital stay, and long-term care if someone can't stay at home anymore. Nurses give care and keep watch for 12 to 16 hours or more with 24-hour supervision, and staff help with daily things like bathing, dressing, moving about, taking medicine, and caring for residents who can't walk on their own, and those recovering from illness or surgery can get physical, occupational, and speech therapy, all tailored so people can work on their recovery goals in comfort. Residents have choices for food, since a chef prepares one or two meals a day and staff work with special diets, and meals can be eaten any time throughout the day, and rooms come with private bathrooms, cable TV, kitchenettes, air conditioning, telephones, and fast Wi-Fi, aiming to help residents feel comfortable and at home. The building has an emergency alert system for safety, a fitness room, a library, an arts room, a games room, a spa/wellness room, plus shared spaces, gardens, and outdoor walking paths, and people can join in community and resident-led activities like music, movies, arts, and the local 4th of July BBQ. Housekeeping, laundry, and move-in coordination help keep things smooth, and the place has transportation and parking for those that need it. Residents can invite their families and pets, and the staff encourage everyone to take part in programs and social events, so people feel like they're part of a caring community. Lake View Care Center accepts Medicaid and Medicare, so more people can get help, and with the way the building looks over the valley, the scenic views can make it feel peaceful no matter the time of day. The facility offers tours, so anyone can see the place and meet the residents and staff before making a decision.
