About Nursing Home Care in Crow Agency
### The Verdict CROW AGENCY, MT, is not the best market for nursing home care, and families should proceed with caution. The standout is **Crow Agency Nursing Home**, which holds a clean record with zero fines in the last three years. However, overall options are limited and none of the facilities fully meet our standards, making it essential for families to explore alternatives in nearby cities.
### Who to Consider While **Crow Agency Nursing Home** is the only facility in the area, families should be aware that it does not boast a high star rating or robust staffing levels. If you're willing to travel, consider visiting **Billings Health & Rehabilitation** in nearby Billings, which has a decent reputation and a more favorable staffing situation. Another option is **Pioneer Medical Center** in nearby Absarokee, which is known for its compassionate care and has received positive feedback from families. However, neither of these options is perfect, so thorough visits are still necessary.
### Who to Avoid In CROW AGENCY, there's no specific facility that stands out as a major red flag, but be wary of facilities in nearby areas that may have had issues. Always skip facilities with substantial fines or serious abuse citations, which can often be found in reviews or reports. When visiting any facility, make sure to ask about staff turnover rates and patient-to-staff ratios; these are critical indicators of the kind of care your loved one will receive.
