Two kinds of assisted living in Bismarck
Both are licensed by North Dakota as assisted living. Larger communities suit people who want social life and on-site services; small homes suit people who do better with quiet, familiar routines, including many people with dementia. North Dakota words these licenses as “Basic Care Facility” (8), “Assisted Living Facility” (7).

How much does assisted living cost in Bismarck?

Small residential homes often cost less than larger communities, though care needs, room type and services move the price more than the building does.
Medicare does not pay for assisted living. People pay from savings and income, long-term care insurance, or VA Aid and Attendance (up to $29,093 a year for a veteran in 2026), and some qualify for Medicaid help with care costs at communities that accept it. Who actually pays for long-term care.
