New Brighton Care Center runs a for-profit corporate operation with 57 beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.24 hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real plus, though weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday levels, so care may thin out when families visit. The current inspection record shows 29 deficiencies, two of them abuse-related, with none at the harm or jeopardy level; the last inspection was November 2025. Its two-star inspection and quality ratings are the weak spots against a three-star staffing score. Worth asking specifically how the abuse deficiencies were resolved.

Sauer Health Care runs 61 beds as a nonprofit, and its staffing sits at 3.60 nurse hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 11% below its own weekday coverage, a gap worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover is 43.1%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some stability. The tradeoff shows up in oversight: a 2/5 inspection rating with 19 deficiencies on record, including one abuse-related citation, though none rose to harm or jeopardy. The last inspection was January 7, 2026. Quality measures score 1/5, so ask how that plays out day to day.

Kittson Healthcare runs 40 beds in Hallock, and it's a nonprofit, which usually buys some stability. The staffing numbers complicate that: 3.60 nurse hours per resident day sits about 7% under the national average, weekend coverage dips roughly 10% below its own weekdays, and annual turnover hits 82.9% against a national 45.8%. That churn matters more than the star ratings suggest, because nearly nine in ten caregivers leaving each year is hard on residents who need consistency. The inspection record shows 25 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, with one fine of $8,190. The last inspection was June 2025, so the picture is current.

Birchwood Care Home runs on 1.94 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly half the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 15% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up on the record: 31 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, alongside a 3/5 inspection rating and a 2026-05-19 survey. Turnover runs 37.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, and the 5/5 quality measure rating reflects clinical outcomes rather than day-to-day presence. For a 60-bed for-profit home, the staffing number is the one to weigh hardest against the quality score.

Madison Healthcare Services is a small church-affiliated nonprofit, 51 beds, with a strong recent inspection history and nurse staffing that runs about 9% above the national average. That's the good news. The concern is turnover: 100% of nursing staff left over the past year, against a national average near 46%. When everyone is new, experience walks out the door, and weekend coverage already runs about 12% thinner than weekdays. State inspectors logged 16 deficiencies, one serious enough to put a resident in harm's way, and one fine of $10,036. The staffing average looks fine on paper; whether it's stable enough to deliver consistent care is the real question.

Spring Valley Care Center runs 45 beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.59 hours per resident per day, about 7% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 11% below its own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 76.2% against a national 45.8%, so a lot of the people caring for residents are still new to the building. Inspections turned up 21 deficiencies, none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related. The most recent inspection was December 2025, so the record is current. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspection results are where the drag shows.

Cura Of Monticello runs 4.38 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 14% above the national average, and that shows up in its staffing rating. Weekends dip about 8% below what the home provides on weekdays, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The quality measure side is where the trouble sits: a 1 out of 5 there, against 19 deficiencies on the current record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse. The last inspection was January 2026, so the record is recent. As a nonprofit, there's no ownership pressure to weigh in its favor, but the inspection and quality numbers are the ones to ask about directly.

Oakland Park Communities runs 35 beds in Thief River Falls, and its numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.78 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and weekends drop about 16% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage gets thinnest when families tend to visit. Turnover at 43.5% is slightly better than the national rate, but the inspection record is the real concern: 29 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, and $44,030 in fines. The most recent inspection was December 31, 2025, so the picture is current.

Victory Health & Rehabilitation Center is a 79-bed for-profit home in Minneapolis, owned by a limited liability company. Its nurses provide 3.10 hours of care per resident per day, roughly 20% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 19% below the home's own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 40.7%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. The current record shows 23 deficiencies, including one abuse-related citation, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. The most recent inspection was January 15, 2026. Ownership, weekend coverage, and the inspection history are the things worth asking about directly before you visit.

Guardian Angels Care Center is a 120-bed nonprofit in Elk River, and the numbers pull in two directions. Nurse staffing sits at 4.81 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, though weekends run about 10% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is 51%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. On the inspection side, the record holds 18 deficiencies, four of them at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with four fines totaling $98,353 and a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating. Quality measures land at 3. Staffing volume is the strong point here; the inspection history is what a family should ask about directly.

Luther Haven is church-affiliated and nonprofit, and its nurse staffing runs about 9% above the national average, 4.22 hours per resident day against 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 10% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The harder numbers are on the inspection side: 29 deficiencies on the current record, including 3 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $101,268. Staff turnover sits at 51.6%, above the 45.8% national average. The most recent inspection was August 2025, so the record is current. Strong hours on paper, but a citation history that raises real questions.

Cerenity Marian in Saint Paul runs a nonprofit shop with 90 beds, and the staffing numbers look strong on paper, 4.15 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average, and weekends only dip about 12% below its own weekdays, which is better than many homes manage. The trouble sits elsewhere. Staff turnover is 50.9%, well past the 45.8% national figure, so the people delivering that care keep leaving, and CMS has cited 16 deficiencies on the current record, including two at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with $130,913 in fines. The last inspection was recent, March 2026, so that record is current, not stale.

Tuff Memorial Home runs 48 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.95 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 18% below its own weekday coverage, which is worth asking about if your family member needs care on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 39.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so aides and nurses tend to stick around longer here than at the typical home. The inspection record shows 6 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with 12 fines totaling $44,434 across its history.

Parkview Manor is a city-owned home in Ellsworth with 37 beds, and its nurse staffing sits about 13% under the national average at 3.37 hours per resident day, though weekends dip only 8% below its own weekdays, which is steadier than many places manage. Turnover is the standout: 24% against a national average near 46%, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stay. The tradeoff shows up in the clinical picture. Twenty-one deficiencies are on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, but the inspection rating sits at 2 out of 5 and quality measures at just 1 out of 5.

Hayes Residence runs on 2.53 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly a third below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 57.7% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. Its last inspection was in June 2025, and the record carries 17 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level. No abuse citations appear, and the quality measure rating is average, but a for-profit home with that staffing gap, that turnover, and two harm-level findings at its most recent survey is worth a close look before you decide.

Cerenity Care Center on Humboldt runs a nonprofit home of 93 beds in Saint Paul, and its nursing hours land right at the national average, 3.84 per resident day against 3.86 nationally, close enough to call it even. The problem is consistency: weekends dip about 15% below its own weekday staffing, and 52.9% of staff turned over in a year, well above the 45.8% national rate. The inspection record is the heavier concern. Forty-two deficiencies sit on file, five of them at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with $96,721 in fines across two penalties. The most recent inspection was March 5, 2026. Staffing looks adequate on paper; everything around it doesn't.

Belgrade Nursing Home runs a lean 34 beds under nonprofit ownership, and the direct-care hours show it: 4.58 per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That's real coverage, though weekends dip roughly 5% below the home's own weekday baseline, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. The bigger issue is turnover, 73.5% annually, well above the 45.8% national figure. High churn can undercut consistent care even when raw staffing hours look strong, and it lines up with a quality measure rating of 2 out of 5. Inspections are recent and clean at the serious end: 10 deficiencies on record, none involving harm or abuse.

Andrew Residence runs on 1.95 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly half the national average, and the weekend gap is real: about 23% less coverage than weekdays. That staffing level earned a 1 out of 5 from CMS, and it's the clearest number on the page. The 19 deficiencies on record, including one at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with a 2 out of 5 inspection rating, tell you what the surveyors found when they looked. The 5 out of 5 quality measure score stands out against all that, but those measures are self-reported, and a 212-bed for-profit home with thin staffing has less margin to catch problems before they escalate.

Hendricks Community Hospital runs 48 certified beds as a nonprofit, and the numbers behind its C grade point to a staffing problem. Total nurse coverage sits at 3.53 hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average, and weekends drop about 17% below what the home staffs on weekdays. That thin coverage is compounded by 56.9% annual turnover, well above the 45.8% national figure, so residents cycle through a lot of unfamiliar caregivers. The current record carries 22 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, though none reached the harm or jeopardy level. A recent April 2025 inspection is a positive, but the low quality-measure and staffing ratings suggest the day-to-day care still has real gaps.

Samaritan Bethany Home on Eighth runs 128 beds as a nonprofit, and its nursing hours land around 3.53 per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average. Weekends dip about 17% below its own weekday coverage, and turnover sits at 47.4%, a bit above the national figure. The current record shows 18 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a single fine of $27,555. Its last inspection was March 26, 2026, which is recent. Staffing earns four stars from CMS, but the inspection and quality measure ratings both sit at three, and the deficiency history is what pulls the overall picture down.
