The Grandview at Benefis opened three years ago in Great Falls, Montana, and sits at 3015 18th Ave S, about 3.5 miles from the city center. The 71-bed facility is administered by David Krebs and offers nursing home care, assisted living, and memory care under one roof.
Great Falls Clinic Hospital is 0.17 miles away, which is close enough that the distance is almost irrelevant in a genuine emergency. For families prioritizing hospital proximity when choosing a nursing facility, that geography is worth noting. The Walk Score of 26 reflects the surrounding area: mostly car-dependent, with a few services reachable on foot.
The three-level care model means a resident can move between assisted living and nursing home care, or into dedicated memory care, without leaving the building. That kind of continuity matters in practice, particularly when someone’s needs shift faster than expected.
CMS staffing data puts registered nurse hours at 2 hours and 8 minutes per resident per day and nurse aide hours at 2 hours and 16 minutes. These are the reported figures as of the most recent CMS payroll period; families doing due diligence on nursing-level placements should treat them as one piece of the picture.
At 71 beds and three years in, The Grandview at Benefis is a newer nursing home in Great Falls with a full three-level care range and one of the shortest hospital distances of any facility in this market.
Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
| Staff type | Hours / Day / Resident | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.
| 2h 8m per day | ▲ 129% State avg: 56m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.
| 19m per day | ▼ 37% State avg: 30m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
| 2h 16m per day | ▼ 11% State avg: 2h 32m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day |
|
Weekend Total Nursing
Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.
| 4h 24m per day | ▲ 26% State avg: 3h 29m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day |
|
Physical Therapist
Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.
| 19m per day | ▲ 375% State avg: 4m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
Weekend RN
Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.
| 2h 2m per day | ▲ 198% State avg: 41m per day · National avg: 29m per day |
