Whitefish Care and Rehabilitation operates at 1305 East 7th Street in Whitefish, a small city in northwestern Montana near Glacier National Park. The inspection was triggered by a complaint, not a routine survey, meaning someone, whether a resident, family member, or staff, contacted regulators before inspectors arrived.

Complaint-driven inspections are generally targeted. Inspectors come in looking for something specific. A citation at the minimal harm level means regulators concluded no serious injury occurred, but a violation of the standard was still documented and placed in the facility's federal record.

The facility has been assigned provider ID 275132 by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. For details on how the facility plans to correct the deficiency, CMS directs the public to contact either the nursing home directly or the Montana state survey agency.
