    NursingHomeIQ Analysis

    Summary

    Records indicate a facility with stable administration and zero use of contract labor, though recent inspections noted concerns regarding infection control and long-term resident quality metrics.

    Detailed Analysis

    The data indicates that this facility maintains staffing levels and stability markers that differ from state averages in several key areas. Records show a total of 3.89 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is largely consistent with the Montana state average of 3.97 hours. Notably, the facility reports zero reliance on contract or agency staffing, meaning all registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants are permanent employees. This absence of temporary staff is a significant marker of care continuity. Additionally, the nursing staff turnover rate of 44.3% is lower than the state average of 55.6%, and the facility has experienced no changes in its top administration over the analyzed period.

    Inspection history reflects a decline in the number of findings, dropping from 14 in the 2024 cycle to 7 in the 2025 cycle. However, the most recent inspection cited concerns regarding infection control and food storage protocols. In terms of clinical performance, long-stay quality measures were rated at 2 out of 5 stars, while short-stay quality measures were rated at 3 out of 5 stars. Financial records show no federal fines or payment denials in the current cycle, which contrasts with the state average of $59,718 in fines per facility. Compared to the surrounding neighborhood in Kalispell, which has a median income of $67,936, the facility operates within a community where roughly 18.6% of the population is age 65 or older.

    Key Findings

    The facility reported zero percent use of contract or agency nurses, compared to state averages that often rely on outside staffing for continuity.

    Weekend staffing levels show a nursing care drop of approximately 8.5% compared to weekday averages, which is below the 10% threshold often used to identify significant weekend coverage gaps.

    Records from December 2025 identified 7 inspection findings, including issues related to professional standards of quality, food procurement, and infection control.

    Performance Trends (24 months)

    This shows how the facility's federal ratings have changed over the past 24 months. Consistent high ratings suggest stable quality, while declining trends may warrant further investigation.

    Staffing Deep Dive

    Staffing depth is the strongest predictor of care quality. Facilities routinely cut staff on evenings and weekends — the shifts when falls happen and call lights go unanswered.
