At Heartland Assisted Living, we are dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for our residents by addressing their physical, social, and mental needs through a unique farm-style living environment. Founded by Deane Shanander, our mission stems from a personal experience of seeking compassionate care for his grandmother, which inspired the creation of a warm, home-like atmosphere unlike traditional clinical facilities. Our facility in Roberts, Montana, offers residents the opportunity to interact with farm animals, enjoy home-cooked meals sourced from our own livestock, and participate in supervised recreational activities that promote independence and social engagement. With 24/7 professional staff, personalized care plans, and a focus on creating meaningful relationships between residents, staff, and animals, we strive to provide a fulfilling living experience tailored to individual needs. Our services include assistance with daily living, medication management, nutritious meals accommodating special diets, housekeeping, and access to healthcare professionals, all designed to support residents' well-being.We offer a range of social and recreational programs to foster community interaction and ensure no resident feels isolated. Our commitment to quality care extends to respite care, hospice services, and therapeutic activities like senior exercise programs and massage therapy. As we plan to expand to 24 rooms by late 2022, our focus remains on creating a safe, welcoming environment where residents can thrive. Backed by Deane's legal background and dedication to compassionate care, Heartland Assisted Living represents a unique approach to assisted living that prioritizes dignity, choice, and connection.
