Our read on Blackfeet Care Center

Blackfeet Care Center is a 47-bed for-profit home in Browning, and the numbers split in an unusual way. Residents' clinical outcomes look decent, four out of five stars on quality measures, but that's happening with one of the thinnest staffing levels CMS records, a single star. Inspections back that up: 32 deficiencies on the current record, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 6 tied to abuse, with $87,690 in fines across two penalties. The last inspection was in March 2026. Fewer hands on deck tends to show up exactly where it did here.
