Heritage Living Center
An Overview of the Facility
Outside view of the Heritage Living Center, Ashland, Montana |
With the meandering Tongue River in the distance and pine trees and wildflowers in abundance, it is not hard to imagine why the great Lakota warrior Crazy Horse chose to camp on this scenic hill when he came to visit his Northern Cheyenne relatives.
The picturesque site of the Heritage Living Center is one of southeastern Montana's most historic vistas. To compliment the panorama of Montana's Big Sky country, the land will be kept in its lovely natural state, now the home of whitetailed deer, antelope, coyotes, and numerous birds.
This 40-unit Assisted Living Facility covers more than 48,000 square feet on a five-acre elevation, approximately 3,000 feet above sea level, the perfect location for residents who are also photographers, painters, bird watchers and wildlife enthusiasts.
Observing the Cheyenne tradition, the front entrance faces East, the direction in which the Cheyenne elders greet Maheo, the Creator, each morning at sunrise. As you enter the building, the lobby walls are covered with six large Howard Terpning Indian prints. On the left is the Wall of Living Memories with the memorial plaques. Straight ahead is the two-story Paintbrush Wing with 20 apartment units with views of the surrounding pine-covered hills and the Tongue River Valley in the distance.
