The Lodge is a 78 unit assisted living community in Great Falls, Montana, acquired by ISF in August 2025 as part of a three-community portfolio financed through $79.32 million in tax exempt bridge financing.
// THE ACQUISITION
The Lodge anchors ISF's entry into the Mountain West, a single-acuity assisted living community in central Great Falls with an established team and a stable resident base.
Great Falls is the third largest city in Montana and the medical hub for a wide swath of the central plains, with Benefis Health System and Great Falls Clinic Medical Center both within a half mile of The Lodge. The community sits at 1801 9th Street South, walkable to both health systems and embedded in a neighborhood with daily services, dining, and cultural anchors including the C.M. Russell Museum and Giant Springs State Park.
ISF acquired The Lodge in August 2025 as part of a three-community portfolio transaction spanning Oregon and Montana. The deal was financed through $79.32 million in tax exempt, floating rate bridge financing. The acquisition established ISF's first operating community in Montana and expanded the Foundation's footprint into a market with strong healthcare infrastructure and persistent senior housing demand.
// THE OPERATING MODEL
The Lodge operates as a single-acuity node in the ISF network, integrated into the same connected care infrastructure deployed across every community in the portfolio.
The acquisition thesis is not transformation. The Lodge has an established operating team, a stable resident base, and a single-acuity focus that allows the community to specialize in assisted living without the operational complexity of running multiple care levels under one roof.
ISF's role is to bring the connected operating model used across the broader portfolio to a community that already runs well. That means ISAI data platform integration, access to the same family engagement portal deployed across the network, and inclusion in the research and AgeTech partnership pipeline connecting ISF communities to Stanford, NIH, and Cedars-Sinai.
The proximity to Great Falls' primary medical infrastructure creates operational advantages for a single-acuity assisted living community. Residents who need higher acuity care or specialized medical services have it next door, eliminating transport friction and supporting continuity of care relationships across hospital and community.
