Southwest Montana Veterans Home in Butte runs 4.34 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average, and that staffing shows up in the numbers CMS cares about. Turnover is the weak spot: 53.9% of staff leave annually, well above the 45.8% national figure, and weekend coverage drops about 12% below weekday levels, worth asking about if your visits would fall on Saturdays or Sundays. The inspection record shows 18 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, though the most recent inspection was recent and the home earns strong marks on health and quality measures.

Continental Care runs a 100-bed for-profit operation in Butte, and the staffing numbers cut both ways. Nurses put in 4.03 hours per resident day, comfortably over the 3.86 national figure, yet weekends drop roughly 16% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the hours look better on paper than they may feel on a Saturday. The bigger concern is retention: 60.2% annual turnover against a 45.8% national average means a lot of unfamiliar faces. Inspectors cited 50 deficiencies on the current record, including two at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with a $59,180 fine and a May 2025 inspection.

Crest Nursing Home sits in Butte with 103 certified beds, run by a for-profit corporation. The inspection record is genuinely strong, a five-star health inspection rating, no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level, and a recent survey from May 2026. But look at the staffing numbers and a different picture shows up. At 3.33 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 14% under the national average, weekends drop roughly 8% below its own weekday level, and turnover hits 53.2% against a national 45.8%. Eleven deficiencies sit on the current record, one abuse-related. Strong survey results, thinner hands on deck.

Copper Ridge runs 186 beds in Butte under corporate ownership, and its inspection record is the strongest part of the picture, a recent April 2026 survey and decent marks on health inspections and quality measures. The staffing side is where it thins out. At 3.33 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 14 percent under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 12 percent below its own weekday coverage. Turnover lands right at the national rate of 45.8 percent. Twenty-eight deficiencies are on record, two at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with $9,311 in fines. One inspection alone doesn't tell you how a place runs on a Tuesday night.
