Quality ratings

CMS's most recent Care Compare release (data as of April 2026) scores Rosebud Health Care Center on three sub-ratings that roll up into the overall star: health inspection, staffing, and quality measures. Each is charted against the Montana average below.

What each sub-rating measures

The staffing rating compares case-mix-adjusted nurse hours per resident day to national benchmarks, and quality measures aggregate 15 clinical indicators including pressure ulcers, falls with injury, and long-stay antipsychotic use.

Its ownership type, listed in Facility details, can influence staffing patterns, reinvestment decisions, and admissions policy. At roughly 45% occupancy, this facility is running well below its certified bed capacity, worth asking why directly.

Same-ownership peers

Within Montana, Rosebud Health Care Center is one of 20 non profit - corporation nursing homes CMS rates. Its 5-star overall rating sits above the non profit - corporation-segment average of 2.8 stars, ahead of roughly 85% of same-ownership peers in the state.
