About Edgewood Helena

Edgewood Helena is an assisted living community in Helena, Montana, offering assisted living, memory care, and respite care services alongside speech, occupational, and physical therapy.

Families consistently praise the staff's compassion and attentiveness. Several describe staff members as caring and professional, with one family noting their father "is truly loved by the staff." The community earns recognition for personalized care, one family highlighted that the lower census allows for more individualized attention. Food service receives specific compliments for being ample, delicious, and delivered by friendly crew members. The facility itself is described as having a warm, homelike atmosphere where residents thrive and form friendships.

However, a small number of families reported serious concerns about cleanliness and oversight during their visits, including instances of soiled clothing and clothing left unattended in rooms. These accounts suggest inconsistency in daily care standards and communication with families about incidents like falls.

Edgewood Helena holds a 3.9 out of 5 Google rating based on 20 reviews. The majority of families express satisfaction and peace of mind with the care provided, though prospective residents and families should weigh the consistently positive experiences against the documented concerns raised in lower-rated reviews.

My mom has lived on the Assisted Living floor at Edgewood for almost 7 years. She moved there because it wasn't safe for her to be alone in her house in the country any more. Mom has thrived at Edgewood. The staff are all so compassionate and professional and they treat her with great respect. My sisters and I all live several hours away from Helena and we have such peace of mind knowing mom is well cared for. The communication we receive is proactive and prompt. Care conferences with the clinical staff are informative and productive. We're all thrilled that mom chose Edgewood!

Our family member is very satisfied with Edgewood on the assisted living floor where the census is low which keeps the care more personalized. We like the staff and especially like the food service crew; had several meals there and they are friendly, helpful and the food is ample and delicious.
