Nurse staffing at the state veterans home in Luverne runs 5.24 hours per resident per day, roughly a third more than the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage stays within about 10% of weekday levels, a gap that trips up plenty of homes. Staff turnover is 20.9% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing that care tend to stick around. The trade-off sits in the inspection record: nine deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse. That's worth asking about directly, even with a recent March 2026 inspection and a four-star health inspection rating behind it.

McIntosh Senior Living runs on a non-profit model with 45 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noting: 4.92 nurse hours per resident day, about 27 percent above the national average. That matters more than any single inspection result, because consistent coverage is what keeps small homes safe day to day. Weekend staffing dips roughly 14 percent below its own weekday level, so ask how that gap gets covered. Staff turnover sits at 27 percent, well under the national 45.8 percent, which suggests people stay. The record shows 2 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, with no abuse citations and a recent March 2026 inspection.

Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institutes Trp runs 56 certified beds in Golden Valley under nonprofit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the standout: 7.24 nurse hours per resident day, roughly double the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips only about 6% below weekdays, and turnover at 38.7% sits below the 45.8% national figure. The weaker side is inspections, where CMS rates it 2 out of 5, with 12 deficiencies on record including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a $16,355 fine. That last inspection was recent, in March 2025, so the record is current rather than stale. Strong hands-on care, but a citation history worth asking about directly.

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.

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.

St Anthony Park Home runs a strong bedside operation on paper: 4.88 nurse hours per resident day is roughly a quarter above the national average, and 37.2% turnover beats the 45.8% national figure, both signs of stable, well-staffed care. Weekends dip about 7% below weekday coverage, a modest drop most families wouldn't notice. Where it slips is inspections, a 1-star health inspection rating and 42 deficiencies on record, including two abuse-related findings and one at the harm level, drive the middling grade far more than staffing or quality measures do. The single $8,827 fine is small, but the abuse citations and that harm-level deficiency are what you'd want to ask about directly.

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.

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.

Field Crest is a 35-bed city-owned home in Hayfield, and the numbers suggest it runs with more staff than most places its size. At 5.29 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 37% above the national average of 3.86, and weekend staffing only dips about 5% below its own weekday level, a small gap compared to what many homes show. Turnover runs 36.8%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether you see the same faces on repeat visits. Its record shows one deficiency total, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with a February 2026 inspection. City ownership and that thin deficiency history together point to a stable, closely watched building.

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.

Parkview Home runs on a city/county budget in a town of about 400 people, and its staffing reflects that kind of stability: 4.07 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average, with turnover at 29.2% against a national 45.8%. Weekends thin out about 9% below weekday coverage, which is worth asking about if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays. The trouble sits on the inspection side, 20 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus a $14,521 fine. That mix of strong daily care and serious paperwork problems is what pulls the overall picture down.

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.

St. Otto's runs about 4.17 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 8% above the national average, and weekends dip only about 13% below its own weekday staffing, a modest drop rather than the steep falloff common elsewhere. Staff turnover sits at 28.2%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests people tend to stay. The current record shows four deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, following an inspection in December 2025. Ownership is corporate for-profit. The weaker spot is quality measures, which land in the middle of the pack even as the health inspection side holds up.

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.

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.

Green Pine Acres is city-owned, which is unusual, and it shows in the staffing numbers. At 4.77 nurse hours per resident per day, it runs about a quarter above the national average, and its staff actually stick around, 30.4% turnover against a national 45.8% means fewer unfamiliar faces on the floor. Weekends do thin out, roughly 17% below weekday coverage, so that's worth asking about directly. Seven deficiencies sit on the current record with none at the harm level, though two are abuse-related, and the last inspection was in January 2026. The quality measure score is the soft spot; staffing and inspections are where this home is strongest.

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.

Viking Manor runs on a city-owned model in a small Clay County town, and the numbers show a stable operation. Nurse staffing sits at 3.42 hours per resident day, about 11% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 13% below its own weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. What stands out is the workforce: 12.2% annual turnover against a national 45.8% means people tend to stay. Inspections back that up: a 5/5 health inspection rating, five deficiencies on record with none at harm level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection in June 2025.

The Episcopal Church Home of Minnesota has an unusual split in its record: 5.43 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 41 percent above the national average, and a staffing rating to match. Quality measures also score well. The problem is inspections, 36 deficiencies on the current record, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. That combination of strong daily staffing with serious inspection findings is worth asking about directly. Weekend coverage runs about 10 percent thinner than weekdays, so care may look different on a Saturday. Nonprofit ownership doesn't erase the pattern in those deficiency counts.
