Nursing Homes That Accept Medicaid in Montana

61 of the 61 CMS-certified nursing homes in Montana meet this rule: CMS lists the home as certified for Medicaid (or for both Medicare and Medicaid). Certification means the home can bill Medicaid; ask whether a Medicaid bed is open.

By CMS's overall rating, then its inspection rating, Crest Nursing Home in Butte (5 stars), Madison Valley Manor in Ennis (5 stars) and Northern Montana Care Center in Havre (5 stars) rank highest. Visit and check the latest inspection report before you decide.

Montana lists an income limit of Otherwise eligible institutionalized individuals and spouses are income-eligible for nursing home coverage so long as their monthly nursing home costs equal or exceed their monthly income (ABD 013, effective 07/01/2026). and an asset limit of Aged, blind and disabled programs (categorically needy and medically needy): Individual $2,000; Couple $3,000 (effective July 1, 2001, CMA 001 Table of Standards) for 2026. A Medicaid-certified home can still have no Medicaid bed open, so ask when you call.
