Whitefish Care And Rehabilitation
Whitefish, MT

Inspectors completed the visit on October 22, 2025. The deficiency, logged under tag F0887, referenced Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance on COVID vaccine considerations for healthcare personnel. CMS rated the harm level as minimal, and the number of residents affected as few.

That is, in sum, nearly everything the public record shows.

The inspection report, spanning 22 pages, devotes its substantive findings on this citation to a CDC web address and a regulatory header. The summary statement of deficiencies, the section where inspectors are required to describe exactly what went wrong and what they observed, contains no description of what staff did or failed to do, no account of what residents experienced, and no detail about how the facility fell short of the guidance it was cited for ignoring.

Whitefish Care and Rehabilitation operates at 1305 E 7th St in Whitefish, a small city in northwestern Montana near Glacier National Park. The facility carries the CMS provider number 275132.

CMS instructs facilities to submit a plan of correction for each cited deficiency. The agency's own form directs anyone seeking that plan to contact the nursing home or the state survey agency directly. Neither document was included in the materials available for this report.

What triggered the complaint inspection in the first place, who filed it, and what the full scope of the visit examined beyond this single tag, the public record does not say.

Residents and their families seeking details about the facility's vaccine practices, or about what the inspection found, would need to contact Whitefish Care and Rehabilitation or the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services directly. The record, as filed, does not give them much to work with.
