Our read on Eastern Montana Veterans Home

Eastern Montana Veterans Home in Glendive runs 4.29 nurse hours per resident day, about 11% above the national average, but weekends drop roughly 14% below its own weekday staffing. The bigger concern is turnover: 79.7% annually, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people at the bedside keep changing. Its record shows 31 deficiencies, including 6 at the harm or jeopardy level and 6 abuse-related, with three fines totaling $50,805. The last inspection was February 13, 2025, and the state owns the 80-bed home. Strong weekday coverage doesn't cancel out a heavy deficiency history and unstable staffing.
