Masonic Home of Montana

Masonic Home of Montana The Masonic Home of Montana is a Montana tradition with very strong roots. MASONIC HOME OF MONTANA is a Montana tradition with very strong roots.

Exceptionally dedicated and trained staff provide personal care with dignity, while promoting independence - a service we have been providing for over 100 years. In 1886, three years before Montana became a state, Augusta rancher David Auchard shared a dream with his attorney friend, Corneilus Hedges. It was visionary in that he was ahead of his time with the concept of what we now know as "assist

ed living". While this term has become commonplace over the past several years, a plan to have a facility for those who might be "aged or infirmed" was quite innovative in the late 1800's. In 1901, a committee was appointed to pick a site for the Masonic Home from propositions they had received from Midcanyon, Fulton, Deer Lodge, Missoula, Boulder, and Helena. The Fred Gamer Tract, consisting of 590 acres and situated eight miles from Helena in the Prickly Pear Valley was the final selection in 1906, as there was a "nice grove of trees upon it... good water... Whereby the ranch can be irrigated from an independent source in addition to the water right." Though David Auchard passed away in 1902, his dream did become a reality. The building was ready for occupancy in 1907. For over 100 years, the Masonic Home of Montana has been providing some level of care to Montana's elders. As it was in 1907, the home still offers wonderful views of our beautiful big sky country and the staff still believes that it is truly a home for our Residents.

Happy Nurses Week! We can't thank our Nursing Staff enough for all they do for our residents. The care and love they put in every second of every shift is absolutely pure magic. Those they care for are so much more than a patient or a resident, they are family and we are so honored to provide them with the best care possible! Our Nurses are our heartbeat and boy is our heartbeat strong!
