With historical roots dating back to the dinosaur era, the North Dakota Heritage Center is the premier museum to experience North Dakota history beginning with the dinosaurs, traveling through the ear of indigenous peoples all the way through the modern era.
To experience the living version of North Dakota’s heritage, the Theodore Roosevelt National Park offers a one of a kind excursion through the majestic wilderness Theodore Roosevelt loved so much.

Public records concerning violations, inspections and citations pertaining to individual assisted living communities cannot be directly requested.

To find more information on this program, please visit the official Waiver for Aged and Disabled page via the Department of Human Services website.
Alternate payment options are available. Families can apply for an assisted living family loan. This provides temporary or long-term financial assistance when paying for assisted senior care. The program allows multiple people to contribute to payment.
