Our read on Montana Mental Health Nursing Home
The state-run home in Lewistown runs nurse staffing at 6.95 hours per resident per day, roughly 80% above the national average of 3.86, and it holds up on weekends, dipping only about 7% below its own weekday level. That staffing depth is the main reason it lands at a B. The caution side: its current record carries 37 deficiencies, including 3 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, and its last inspection in October 2024 produced a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating. A single fine of $7,163 is on file. High staffing, real quality concerns.
