Perham Living is a 96-bed nonprofit home in Otter Tail County with 5.45 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 41% above the national average of 3.86. Its 30% annual turnover is well below the 45.8% national rate, and it holds a perfect 5/5 on CMS staffing and a 5/5 on health inspections, with its last inspection dated March 24, 2026. Six deficiencies sit on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. Weekend staffing dips about 18% below weekdays, so you'll want to ask how that gap gets covered.

Mount Olivet Careview Home runs on 5.25 total nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 36% above the national average, and its weekend coverage only dips about 7% below weekday levels, a fairly small drop. Staff turnover sits at 20.9%, less than half the national rate of 45.8%, which suggests people tend to stay. The trouble is on the inspection side: 17 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus a single fine of $55,043. The most recent inspection was February 25, 2026. Strong staffing and low turnover don't cancel out harm-level findings, they just mean the problems aren't coming from short-handed shifts.

Essentia Health Oak Crossing runs on 5.06 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, and its staff turnover of 24.3% is nearly half the national rate, that kind of retention usually shows up in how consistently residents get the same caregivers. The tradeoffs are on the inspection side: 11 deficiencies on record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and a $7,446 fine, though nothing abuse-related. The most recent inspection was December 2025, so the record is current. Weekend staffing dips about 10% below weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays or Sundays.

Charter House runs one of the thinnest-staffed business models you'll see anywhere, 9.47 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, a number that would be hard to sustain if the census weren't so small and the nonprofit backing so steady. Weekends drop about 13% below weekday coverage, which matters in a 32-bed building where there's less slack to absorb a callout. Turnover sits at 53.8%, roughly eight points above the national figure, and the inspection record carries 10 deficiencies including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse. The last survey closed in late December 2025, so the file is fresh, and the single fine on record totals $8,824.

Flagstone runs on more nursing hours than most homes in the country, 4.29 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and its staff tends to stay, with turnover at 37.5% compared to 45.8% nationally. Weekend coverage dips only slightly below weekday levels, so care doesn't drop off when the week ends. The trade-off shows up in its inspection record: 27 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, though none rose to actual harm or jeopardy. That history, plus a middling inspection rating, is why this nonprofit's strong bedside staffing and quality scores don't translate into a spotless record.

Gracepointe Crossing Gables runs a nonprofit shop with 110 beds, and the staffing numbers are the story here: 4.08 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average, with turnover at 40.8% against a national 45.8%. That combination matters, enough hands on deck, and fewer of them walking out the door than is typical. Weekend coverage dips about 6% below the home's own weekday level, so the Monday-through-Friday picture is stronger than Saturday and Sunday. Seven deficiencies sit on the current record, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none tied to abuse. The last inspection was in September 2025, so that record is recent.

Catholic Eldercare On Main runs a nonprofit home of 164 beds in Minneapolis, and its staffing is the strongest part of the picture: 4.18 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% above the national average, with a 20% turnover rate that's less than half the national figure. Weekends dip roughly 12% below the home's own weekday staffing, so coverage isn't perfectly even. The inspection record is where it gets sobering, 32 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus a $24,297 fine and a two-star health inspection rating despite a December 2025 inspection. Quality measures score well at four stars; the survey history is the counterweight.

Valley View runs a tight ship on staffing: 4.20 nurse hours per resident day, about 9% above the national average, and turnover sits at 19.1% when the typical home loses nearly 46% of its staff each year. That kind of retention matters, because residents see the same faces instead of a rotating cast. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops roughly 12% below the home's own weekday level. Inspections land in the middle, a 2025 visit, one harm-level deficiency among 10 total, no abuse findings, and a single $26,685 fine. Nonprofit ownership and 40 beds suggest a smaller operation. The weak spot isn't care quality on paper; it's whether the weekend shift erodes what the weekday numbers promise.

Gables Of Boutwells Landing runs 4.65 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth more than the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage stays within about 5% of its weekday level, a gap that's often wider elsewhere. Staff turnover sits at 31%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether residents see the same faces. The trade-off shows up on the health inspection side: 11 deficiencies on the current record, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a mid-tier inspection rating. No abuse citations, and the last survey was June 2026, so the picture is current.

Folkestone is a small nonprofit home in Wayzata, 30 certified beds, which means you're not dealing with a big corporate chain calling the shots. Staffing sits at 4.67 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 21% above the national average, and weekends dip only about 9% below its own weekday level, so the place doesn't hollow out when Friday rolls around. Turnover runs 35.1% against a national average near 46%, meaning caregivers tend to stick. The inspection record shows nine deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in November 2025. Its four- and five-star CMS ratings across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing line up with that picture.

Good Samaritan Ambassador runs on a nonprofit model with 77 certified beds in New Hope, and the staffing numbers back up the ratings: 4.56 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18% above the national average, with a 5/5 staffing star. Weekend coverage dips about 12% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays or Sundays. Turnover sits at 32.3% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. Two deficiencies on record, neither at the harm level nor abuse-related, and a 5/5 inspection star from a visit dated April 2026. Quality measures scored 3/5, the softer spot in an otherwise strong file.

Ecumen Lakeshore runs a nonprofit home with 60 certified beds in Duluth, and its staffing is the standout fact: 5.29 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 37 percent above the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 10 percent below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 46.3 percent, nearly identical to the national 45.8 percent, so continuity of caregivers is average rather than exceptional. On the regulatory side, the record is clean where it counts: two deficiencies total, none at the harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and a health inspection from May 2026.

Truman Senior Living runs about 4.77 total nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 23% above the national average of 3.86, a real difference at a 30-bed home where minutes matter. Weekend coverage dips about 8% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 45.5%, essentially matching the national 45.8%. The 11 deficiencies on record include none at the harm or jeopardy level and none related to abuse; the last inspection was January 2, 2026, so the findings are recent. The quality measure and staffing ratings both come in at 5 out of 5, with a 4 out of 5 on health inspections.

Three Links Care Center runs a nonprofit shop with 92 beds in Northfield, and the staffing numbers are the strongest part of the picture: 4.16 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, with turnover at 38.8% compared to 45.8% nationally. That stability matters, though weekend coverage drops about 11% below weekday levels, so ask how that gap gets filled. The inspection record is where it gets murkier, 16 deficiencies on file, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus one fine of $12,649. The last inspection was July 2025, so the record is current.

Lifecare Greenbush Manor runs on 4.33 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average, and that staffing depth shows up in its five-star staffing rating. Weekend coverage dips about 14% below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 44.2%, basically in line with the national figure, so continuity of care is neither a strength nor a glaring problem here. The inspection record is thin on paper: three deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. The most recent inspection was in June 2026, so the picture is current. Quality measures land at three stars, softer than the staffing and inspection scores.

Assumption Home in Cold Spring runs on church-affiliated nonprofit ownership and 76 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.01 hours per resident day, about 4% above the national average, though weekends dip roughly 12% below its own weekday levels. Turnover lands at 44.1%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection history is where you'll want to slow down: 15 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus a single fine of $17,345. The last inspection was November 2024. Strong staffing and quality marks coexist with real findings, so ask about the abuse citation and the weekend coverage gap directly.

Eventide Lutheran Home runs on unusually deep staffing for a nonprofit: 4.88 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and its 32.2% turnover sits well under the 45.8% typical elsewhere. That consistency shows up where it matters, weekends dip only about 7% below weekday coverage, so care doesn't thin out when families visit. The trade-off is inspection history: 22 deficiencies on record, four serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, and three fines totaling $39,393. The most recent state visit was June 2025, so the record is current. Strong staffing and steady retention don't erase a troubled survey trail, ask to see how those four harm-level findings were corrected.

Oak Hills Living Center runs on unusually heavy staffing for a nonprofit home its size, 5.27 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, which is why CMS hands it a perfect staffing rating. Turnover sits at 39%, better than the 45.8% national figure, though weekend coverage drops about 14% below its own weekday level, so care can thin out on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is where the picture darkens: ten deficiencies, three serious enough to endanger residents, one tied to abuse, and $30,026 in fines across two penalties. Strong daily staffing doesn't erase those findings, and the most recent inspection in April 2026 suggests they're current, not old history.

Presbyterian Homes Of Bloomington runs a nonprofit home with 98 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.80 hours per resident day, roughly 24% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend hours dip about 8% below its own weekday level, so coverage isn't perfectly even, but the floor stays well above average. Staff turnover is 30.8% against a national 45.8%, which matters for continuity of care. The current record shows 13 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in April 2025. The weaker spot is the 2/5 quality measure rating; strong staffing and a clean harm record don't erase that.

Milaca Elim Meadows runs on a nonprofit model with 70 certified beds, and its staffing sits at 4.50 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17 percent above the national average of 3.86. That margin matters most on weekends, where hours dip about 11 percent below the home's own weekday pace, so ask how weekend coverage actually looks on the days your family visits. The inspection record shows 11 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none tied to abuse, with the most recent survey completed in December 2025. Quality measures score at the top of CMS's scale, while inspections and staffing each land one notch below.
