All 4 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Great Falls,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
Benefis Senior Services - Grandview runs 4.30 nurse hours per resident day, about 11% above the national average, and weekends dip only slightly below its weekday numbers, that consistency matters more than the headline figure. The health inspection side is solid at 4 of 5 stars with a recent May 2025 survey, and none of the 21 deficiencies on record rose to harm or jeopardy. One abuse-related citation is worth asking about directly. Quality measures sit at 3 of 5, the weakest of the three federal ratings, so readmission or antipsychotic figures may be where this home gives ground. As a nonprofit with 48 beds, it's small enough that staffing shifts show up fast.
Park Place runs 189 beds in Great Falls under for-profit LLC ownership, and the direct-care hours come in around 3.46 per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, with weekends thinner still, about 18% below its own weekdays. Turnover sits at 36.2%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the staffing picture isn't purely a retention problem. What stands out more is the inspection record: 36 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse, and eight fines totaling $187,272, with the most recent inspection in April 2026.
Benefis Senior Services - Westview runs 34 certified beds in Great Falls, and the numbers there are worth a close look before you decide anything. Nurse staffing sits at 3.24 hours per resident per day, roughly 16% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage barely dips below its own weekday level, so the shortfall is steady rather than occasional. The inspection record shows 18 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy and two tied to abuse, with one fine of $13,865 and a survey completed in May 2025. It's a nonprofit operation, which doesn't change what the staffing and survey figures show.
Benefis Senior Services - Eastview runs a nonprofit operation with 64 certified beds in Great Falls, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.15 hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average, which is the strongest number here. But weekends run about 9% thinner than weekdays, and annual turnover hits 53.4%, well past the national 45.8%, so that staffing edge depends on a workforce that keeps changing. The inspection record is the real drag: 40 deficiencies, including three at harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $99,129, with the most recent inspection in June 2025. High direct-care hours and a troubled enforcement history can both be true at once.
