Highgate Senior Living

I have had the opportunity to tour this establishment a couple of times and meet their wonderful staff. They just renovated their memory care unit, and the intentional thought process behind the new design is awesome! They have an amazing sales team, too. Sarah Valentine is extremely informative and will answer all of your questions. I highly recommend checking them out if you or a loved one are looking for top-notch care!

My 84-year-old mom was just diagnosed and treated for a severe UTI, and the resulting dementia and physical disability demanded that she be moved from her independent living situation to a memory care. I looked at all the options and decided Highgate was the right fit. It's a lovely facility with really caring staff. Val worked with me to make this tumultuous and hasty move happen as smoothly as possible under tough circumstances. She and Chris, the director, also provided a 1-month Highgate rent waiver to offset some of the extreme costs we incurred to transition from her previous apartment that we were still paying rent on. Val worked night, day and weekends to coordinate everything with a local doctor and the hospital to assure we got mom moved into Highgate within days of her hospital release with every detail covered. At this stressful moment, Val, nurse Jennifer, JC in memory care and their caregivers have really lightened our burdens.

My near 85 yr old mother recently made a move from an independent living facility in Rochester, NY to Bozeman, Montana. A BIG move for her that was challenging, and she was nervous and uncertain about how she'd fit in, make new acquaintances, and adjust to not having a vehicle. Highgate was outstanding in their welcome and including her from the get go. So many of the staff and residents made a point to say hello, offer a hand, and make her feel right at home (including the maintenance fellas!), while also including me (her daughter) and Rick (her son in law), and encouraging us both to take part in the many offerings that Highgate brings. She's jumped in and we even get updates about the activities she joins so we have a sense of how she's settling in and what she's up to. Mom's 3rd floor concierge Lauren greeted us on move in day with a fresh made muffin and coffee, and has been a godsend to mom. She's used the shuttle, been on a few outings, commented on the good food, and was super impressed with the once a month flowers delivered to the independent living folks. And from my end, the whole process of working with the Highgate staff (mainly Val Damschen) to get her 'in' and procure a unit that met what my mother was looking for and would make her happy, was flawless. Staff was communicative and patient with my many questions and lack of know how in making such a move and change for my mom. I popped in unannounced on a few occasions before we signed out just to see what was happening, how the residents appeared to be, etc; and each time I found the facility incredibly clean, residents out and about socializing, exercising, or playing games, and both the menu and activities calendars inviting. We'd looked at 3 other facilities in Bozeman as possibilities, and we've been so impressed with Highgate that we know in our bones that mom is in the very best place for care, fun, its incredible staff, and the residents themselves. Highgate is her place. Many thanks Highgate!

Highgate has been extremely responsive to our family’s needs as our mom transitioned into independent living. They have built a truly caring community.
