Short-term Care Quality
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our short-term care rating. In the area of short-term care, we try to assess indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. One of this nursing home's strengths is registered nurse hours. We found that it offers more care from registered nurses to its residents than most facilities. The final metric we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. This place performed as well as just about any facility in Montana in this area with 62.4 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. Nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that category, we awarded this facility an A. Our nursing grade is primarily tied to the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This place boasts an impressive 3.9 hours of nursing care per patient per day, of which more than one hour of those were provided by registered nurses. This is one of the most highly trained levels of nurses. Lastly, this facility also excelled in several of the quality measures we assessed. With less than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility Montana in this category.
Long-term Care Quality
The third area we assessed is long-term care. Adding to its first-rate resume, this facility also excelled in this area. In fact, it received a of A in that category. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 94 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is often a life or death ailment for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a facility doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. This place also keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had just 1.56 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Facility Inspections

These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to create an immediate threat to patient health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.
