About The View on Elk Drive
The View on Elk Drive rises above Minot on a scenic hill, giving residents a peaceful setting with sweeping views and a neighborhood feel that’s more lively than institutional[4]. Since 2006, this independently owned community has focused on blending resort-style amenities—like a fitness room, spa, movie theater, and beautifully landscaped courtyard—with the comforts of home, including fresh-baked pies and breads made by staff[4][6]. A team of RNs, LPNs, and CNAs provides 24-hour assistance with daily living, while a full calendar of activities—from card games to outings on the community bus—keeps days full and friendships growing[4][6]. Families appreciate the proximity to Trinity Health Saint Joseph’s Hospital and local cafes, adding convenience to the caring atmosphere[1]. Highlights: Hilltop location with panoramic views, home-style dining with fresh baking, and a full slate of daily activities and excursions.

Kind, attentive staff. Clean, beautifully decorated home. Great views. Lots of daily activities and people who really care.

The entire staff at theView on the hill in minot is professional, and skilled, however The owner Gaylin in my opinion is an absolute detriment. Having interactions with around 8 members of the staff over the course of 10 days was pleasant but when it was time to work with the owner Gaylin was one of the worst elderly men i have come across in my 19 years of servicing buildings. To have the owner insult your intelligence, and to personally attack is despicable. There are many care centers in Minot. Choose wisely.
