Nurse Quality
On top of receiving a strong overall grade, this facility performed well in our nursing category. We gave it an A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. The nursing score is based on a host of factors. The most important variable is the number of hours nurses spent with patients. This particular nursing home provided 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility Montana in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as having a system of moving residents at least once a day.
Facility Inspections
Turning to another one of this facility's strengths, it also earned a very impressive inspection score. Inspections turned out to be one of its best category grades. In that area, we gave this facility an A-. Inspection ratings weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this area typically have very few severe deficiencies. This facility received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that the inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to patient safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from this facility. It performed respectably in this metric with 46 percent of its residents returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we scored was long-term care, which ended up being this nursing home's least impressive category. We gave this facility a grade of D in that category. Unfortunately, this score pulled down the facility's overall grade a bit. For prospective residents looking for a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are very important. One of the criteria we considered after nursing hours is vaccinations. Fortunately, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 99.22481 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.28 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
