Boundary Waters Care Center runs on a nonprofit model with 42 beds in Ely, and the numbers behind its grade are worth walking through. Nurse staffing sits at 4.29 hours per resident day, roughly 11 percent above the national average, though weekend coverage drops about 16 percent below what the home staffs on weekdays, a pattern worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover lands at 41.7 percent, a bit better than the 45.8 percent national figure. The inspection record shows 11 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey completed in December 2025. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, come in at 5 out of 5.

Galeon runs a 40-bed nonprofit home in Osakis, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing: 5.37 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 39% above the national average of 3.86. That kind of margin usually shows up in day-to-day care, though weekends dip about 22% below the home's own weekday level, so the coverage isn't perfectly even across the week. Staff turnover sits at 27.3%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters for residents who need consistent caregivers. On the inspection side, five deficiencies are on record with none at the harm or jeopardy level, but two are abuse-related, so it's worth asking how those were resolved. The most recent inspection was December 17, 2025.

Essentia Health Northern Pines runs 33 certified beds in Aurora, and its inspection record is the cleanest part of the story: five deficiencies on file, none of them causing harm or jeopardy, none tied to abuse, and a survey completed in January 2026. Nurse staffing works out to 3.67 hours per resident day, about 5% under the national figure, and weekends drop roughly 19% below what the home staffs on weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays or Sundays. The number that stands out is turnover: 22.6% against a national average near 46%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay.

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.

Brookestone Gardens runs on 4.79 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter more staffing than the typical American nursing home, and that shows up in a 5/5 staffing rating and a 5/5 quality measure rating. Turnover sits at 35.2%, well under the national 45.8%, though weekends dip about 16% below the home's own weekday coverage. The record isn't spotless: nine deficiencies, one tied to abuse, but none rose to harm or jeopardy, and state inspectors were last in the building in December 2025. As a nonprofit with 54 beds, it's small enough to know its residents, the 3/5 inspection rating is the one number keeping this from looking like a clean sweep.

Givens Health Center in Asheville runs on 5.26 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, and that shows up in its staffing rating. Weekend coverage dips about 18% below its own weekday level, so care may look thinner on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 31.6%, well under the national 45.8%, a real advantage in a field where constant retraining erodes familiarity with residents. The nonprofit's inspection record carries 19 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a 4/5 inspection rating and a March 2026 survey. The quality measure score of 3/5 is the softer spot.

Cypress Glen runs six certified beds in Greenville, which puts it in a category most families never encounter, a small, nonprofit operation where the numbers look almost too good. Nurse staffing sits at 7.29 hours per resident day, roughly 89% above the national average of 3.86, though weekend coverage drops about 13% from its own weekday level. The inspection record shows one deficiency total, none at the harm level and none tied to abuse, with the most recent visit in August 2025. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, come in at five out of five. For a six-bed home, that consistency across every measure is the story.

Dakota Alpha is a small, nonprofit-run home in Mandan, just 20 certified beds, and the numbers behind its A grade are mostly about staffing. Its 4.83 nurse hours per resident day sit roughly 25% above the national average of 3.86, and staff turnover of 40% comes in under the 45.8% national figure. One caveat worth knowing: weekend staffing drops about 21% below the home's own weekday level, so care may look thinner on Saturdays and Sundays. Inspections are current as of July 2025, with nine deficiencies on record, none involving harm or jeopardy, and none abuse-related.

Friendship Village Of Dublin runs 5.20 total nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the 3.86 national average, and weekends only dip about 9% below its own weekdays. That's a real cushion, and it's why staffing holds four stars. The quality measures are stronger still at five. What pulls against that picture is the inspection record: 20 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none tied to abuse. The most recent state visit was November 2024. So you're looking at a nonprofit home where day-to-day care capacity is clearly above par, but the survey history has some weight in it. Ask to see the plan of correction for that harm-level citation before you decide.

Fernwood runs on 6.29 total nurse hours per resident day, roughly 63% above the national average, and weekends dip only about 11% below weekdays, a smaller drop than many homes show. That staffing depth is what lifts its grade despite a mixed inspection record: 22 deficiencies on file, including two at harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with a 3/5 inspection rating. The last inspection was August 2025, so the picture is recent. With 16 beds and nonprofit ownership, it's small enough that staff consistency matters more than corporate polish. The quality measure rating is 5/5, which suggests residents' clinical outcomes track better than the deficiency count alone would imply.

St. Luke's in Coaldale runs on 4.37 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% more than the national average, and its staff tends to stay: 20.9% annual turnover against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips about 15% below its own weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays or Sundays. The current record shows 15 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in August 2025. As a nonprofit with 48 beds, it's small enough that you can reasonably expect to know the people caring for your relative.

St. Anne's runs on about 5 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 30% more than the national average of 3.86, and its staff tends to stay, 25% annual turnover against a national rate near 46%. Weekend coverage dips about 18% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family visits primarily on Saturdays or Sundays. The record is otherwise clean: five deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in December 2025. Quality and inspection ratings both land at 4 out of 5, staffing at 5.

Harbor's Edge runs 5.87 nurse hours per resident per day, well above the national average of 3.86, and that staffing shows up in its five-star rating on that measure. Turnover sits at 40.4 percent, a bit better than the 45.8 percent national figure. The inspection record is where you'll want to ask questions: 13 deficiencies, none at the harm level, but one abuse-related citation is worth raising directly with the administrator. Staffing also dips about 19 percent on weekends, so ask how coverage works on Saturdays and Sundays. A recent February 2026 inspection means the record is current.

The Culpeper runs a nonprofit home of 47 beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 5.69 hours per resident day, roughly 47% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 15% below its own weekday levels, so care thins out somewhat on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 20%, well under the 45.8% national average, which suggests people stay. The current record carries 19 deficiencies, one at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in October 2023. CMS gives it top marks for staffing and middling marks for inspections and quality measures. Strong hours and low turnover are doing the heavy lifting here.

Windsormeade of Williamsburg runs on church-affiliated nonprofit ownership, and the numbers back up what that structure often buys you: time with residents. Nurse staffing sits at 5.54 hours per resident day, roughly 43 percent above the national average, and turnover comes in at 35.7 percent against a national 45.8, staff tend to stay. The tradeoff worth knowing is weekends, when coverage drops about 21 percent below the home's own weekday level. Nine deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in April 2023. With only 22 certified beds, this is a small home, which cuts both ways on consistency.

The Glebe runs about 5.42 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 40% more than the national average of 3.86, that's the kind of cushion that matters when a resident needs help at 2 a.m. Weekend staffing dips about 21% below its own weekday levels, worth asking about, though the floor starts high. Seven deficiencies sit on the current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related. Staff turnover lands at 49%, a bit above the 45.8% national figure. CMS gives this nonprofit five stars each for inspections, quality measures, and staffing, with its last inspection in April 2024.

St. Joseph's Hospital in Buckhannon runs 5.74 nurse hours per resident day, about 49% above the national average of 3.86, and it holds onto that staff, with turnover at 10.5% against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips roughly 17% below its own weekday level, a real gap even at this staffing level. Fifteen deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in March 2025. It's a small 16-bed nonprofit unit inside a hospital, so read the quality measure score of 3/5 as the softer spot and the staffing and inspection record as the strong ones.

Emanate Health Inter-Community Hospital runs a small 25-bed skilled nursing unit in Covina, and its staffing numbers stand out: 6.10 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 58% above the national average. Weekend coverage does dip about 16% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays. Annual turnover of 15.4% is well below the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The inspection record shows 19 deficiencies with none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related, worth asking about directly. A May 2025 inspection means the record is current.

California Home For The Aged has one of those rare staffing pictures where nothing looks thin. At 4.24 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 10% above the national average, and weekend coverage barely dips, roughly 5% off its own weekday level, which is small compared to most homes. Turnover sits at 33.9%, well under the 45.8% national figure, and a non-profit owner tends to hold staff longer. The catch is the inspection record: 35 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, though the most recent inspection was March 2025, so that count may not reflect current conditions.

Pilgrim Manor in Cromwell runs on a nonprofit model with 60 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noting: 3.94 nurse hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, with weekends dipping about 7% below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 37.7%, which is meaningfully better than the 45.8% national figure, people tend to stay here longer than at the typical home. The current inspection record shows 16 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and four abuse-related, plus a single fine of $12,048. That's a mixed picture, but the last inspection was recent, in April 2024, and the quality and staffing ratings both come in at the top of the scale.
