Many older adults prefer to age in place in their own homes and communities. Missoula Aging Services (MAS) can connect you to housing options and other services that support independent living.
 


Housing options in Missoula County

MAS maintains a list of available housing options, including:

  • Emergency housing
  • Low cost and subsidized housing
  • Retirement communities
  • Organizations that can help you find housing, or help you stay in your current home

Some independent living residences and communities provide meals, housekeeping services, and social activities.

Personal Emergency and Alert Systems

MAS can also help individuals who may need to communicate medical needs to first responders in an emergency. These range from medical alert bracelets to devices that can immediately connect to 911.
