Live Oak runs on strong nurse staffing, 4.71 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and its inspection and quality ratings both sit at 4 out of 5, with a recent June 2025 survey. But 17 deficiencies on record, including three tied to abuse, are worth asking about directly, even though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. Weekend coverage drops roughly 17% below weekdays, so staffing isn't evenly spread across the week. Turnover at 45.4% is essentially the national average, meaning nurse retention here is neither a strength nor a red flag. The non-profit ownership is a steadying factor. What's behind the B is solid care numbers undercut by that deficiency count and a thinner weekend floor.

Mahnomen Health Center is city/county-owned with 32 certified beds, and its nurse staffing runs 4.24 hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday level, so the extra hands aren't evenly spread across the week. On inspections, the record shows a 2/5 star rating, 15 deficiencies (none at harm or jeopardy level, but 3 tied to abuse), and one fine of $12,534. The last inspection was March 11, 2026, so the picture is current. Quality measures and staffing both rate 4/5, which is what holds the overall score up despite the inspection history.

Glenfields Living With Care runs on a nonprofit model with 108 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the standout: 4.83 total nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 8% below its own weekday level, which matters for families who visit or call on Saturdays and Sundays. The record shows 8 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in June 2025. The quality measure score sits lower than the staffing and inspection marks, so the day-to-day care experience may not track as tightly with the strong nurse coverage.

Cornerstone Nsg & Rehab Center runs 47 beds in Bagley under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.79 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average of 3.86. That's the strongest number here. The tradeoffs show up elsewhere: weekend staffing drops about 18% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover of 50.7% runs above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people providing that generous weekday coverage keep changing. Inspections look solid on the surface, a 4-star health inspection rating, nothing at the harm or jeopardy level, and a visit as recent as July 2025, but 22 deficiencies sit on the current record, two of them abuse-related, and the 2-star quality measure rating is the weakest mark in the file.

Cook Community Hospital C&NC is a small, government-run unit inside a hospital district in St. Louis County, and its record splits in two directions. Inspectors gave it four stars and the last visit was recent, in May 2026, but the current file still carries 11 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus one tied to abuse. Staffing is the sharper problem: the federal rating there sits at the bottom of the scale, well below what most homes report, while the quality measure score lands at two stars. For a 28-bed home, that combination matters more than the size suggests. If you're considering it, ask directly how nurse coverage works on evenings and weekends.

Colonial Manor runs a for-profit corporation with 37 certified beds in Lakefield, and its nurse staffing sits well above average, 6.37 hours per resident day against a national 3.86. That's the strongest thing going for it, though weekend coverage drops about 17% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover of 60.5% means the staff you meet may not be there in a year. The health inspection record is the weak spot: a 1-out-of-5 star rating, 32 deficiencies on file, including one abuse-related citation, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. Ownership is corporate and for-profit, and the last inspection was January 29, 2026.

George Regional runs on a county budget out in Lucedale, and the numbers say the place is staffed well above what's typical, 5.2 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Turnover sits at 39.6%, better than the 45.8% norm, though weekend coverage drops about a fifth below its own weekday level, so your visit timing matters. What pulls against that is the record: 17 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to involve harm, two tied to abuse, and a quality measure rating of 1 out of 5 despite inspection and staffing each earning top marks.

Fort Bayard Medical Center is state-run and staffed far above the national average, 6.27 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally. Turnover sits at 33.1%, also better than the 45.8% typical elsewhere. Those numbers are real, and they matter. The trouble is on the inspection side. Forty-eight deficiencies on the current record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse. One fine, $83,501. The last full inspection was August 2024, so nothing here is stale. Weekend staffing drops roughly 19% below the home's own weekday level, which is worth asking about directly. Plenty of hands, comparatively stable ones, but a documented pattern of serious problems the state has had to write up.

The Sharon At Southpark runs 19 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits at 12.56 hours per resident day, roughly triple the national average of 3.86. That's an unusual number, and it shows up in the weekend data too, though weekend coverage still runs about 23% below the home's own weekday level. Turnover is the softer spot: 63.3% annually against a national 45.8%, meaning the people providing that care are changing over fairly often. On inspections, the record shows 10 deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent visit was November 25, 2025.

Griggs County Care Center runs on a nonprofit model with 40 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.39 hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average. Weekends drop about 16% below its own weekday levels, and turnover runs 48.7% against a national 45.8%, so the coverage is real but not perfectly steady. Inspections in August 2025 turned up five deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, with none tied to abuse. The quality measure score is soft at 2 out of 5, though the health inspection side holds at 4. That split, strong staffing, weaker clinical measures, is what pulls the overall picture down to a solid but unremarkable middle ground.

St. Luke's Home in Dickinson runs on unusually heavy staffing, 6.30 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national average, and residents still get strong coverage on weekends even though it dips about 15% from weekday levels. That staffing strength shows up in a five-star rating, and its most recent inspection in April 2025 produced no abuse citations. Two things complicate the picture. One of the 11 deficiencies on record rose to the harm level, and quality measures score only 2 out of 5. Staff turnover sits at 53.6%, higher than the national average of 45.8%, meaning the people providing that generous staffing are often new.

Carnegie Nursing Home runs 100 certified beds under individual for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.99 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86. That margin is thin, though, and weekend coverage drops roughly 8% below what the home staffs on weekdays, which is worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record shows 13 deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent survey was September 5, 2025, so the picture is current. What holds the staffing rating down to 2 stars is the shape of the coverage, not the raw total.

Palmetto Patriots runs a state-owned home in Gaffney with 52 beds and nurse staffing at 5.56 hours per resident day, roughly 44% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. The current inspection record shows zero deficiencies, none at the harm level, and no abuse citations, though nine fines totaling $30,147 appear on the books from earlier. Its last inspection was April 2026, so the record is recent. State ownership tends to mean steadier funding and public accountability, and the staffing number is the real story here.

Veteran Village runs well above the national average for nurse staffing, 5.61 hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally, roughly 45% more hands-on time, though weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday level. The inspection record is mixed: six deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with twelve fines totaling $47,631. State government ownership and a February 2026 inspection give you recent, current information to work from. The staffing number is genuinely strong; the harm-level and abuse findings on the current record are the parts worth asking about directly before you decide.

Skyline Terrace runs a little more nurse staffing than the national average, about 3.98 hours per resident day versus 3.86, though weekends dip roughly 9% below its own weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays or Sundays. The inspection record is the strongest part of the picture: nine deficiencies on file, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a recent October 2025 survey and a perfect health inspection rating. Corporate for-profit ownership and a middling staffing rating temper that, but nothing in the numbers suggests a home you need to rule out.

The Village Healthcare Center runs 5.40 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 40% above the national average of 3.86, and that shows up in its five-star staffing rating. Turnover sits at 40.3%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. But staffing is only part of the picture. Its current record carries 39 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a $20,046 fine. Inspections and quality measures both land at three stars, and the last state visit was June 13, 2025. Strong hands on deck, but the compliance history is where the concern lies.

Jerold Phelps Community Hospital's skilled nursing unit in Garberville is a 17-bed hospital-district operation, which explains the unusually high nurse staffing: 7.74 hours per resident day, roughly double the national average of 3.86. Even with weekends running about 6% lighter than weekdays, that's a lot of hands on deck. The trouble sits elsewhere. Twenty-eight deficiencies on the current record include three tied to abuse, none flagged at harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection came in September 2025, recent enough that the findings still describe how this home operates today. A quality measure rating of 2 out of 5 suggests the everyday care results don't match the staffing investment, and for a small rural unit, that gap is worth asking about directly.

South Coast Global Medical Center's nursing unit runs nurse staffing at 8.83 hours per resident day, more than double the national average of 3.86, though weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday level, so coverage narrows when families tend to visit. The tradeoff shows up in its record: 53 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, none flagged at harm or jeopardy level, with the most recent inspection in January 2026. Quality measures score well while inspections sit mid-range. It's a for-profit corporate operation with 46 certified beds, small enough that staffing swings hit harder than they would at a larger building.

Glen Rose Nursing and Rehab Center runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes, about 3.39 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 18% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. What sets it apart, though, is stability: staff turnover sits at 37.8%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters when residents need consistent faces. Run by the hospital district, it holds decent inspection and quality ratings and was inspected as recently as January 2026. The caveats are real, though: 20 deficiencies on record, including two at harm level and three tied to abuse, plus $17,128 in fines across two cases.

The Plaza At Edgemere runs 4.29 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 11% above the national average of 3.86, though weekend coverage dips about 6% below its own weekday levels. Inspectors cited 13 deficiencies on the current record, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with no abuse findings and a single fine of $12,735. This for-profit limited liability company holds 72 certified beds and was last inspected on January 22, 2026. Its four-out-of-five marks for health inspections and quality measures sit above its three-out-of-five staffing score, so the care numbers look steadier than the direct-care hours alone would suggest.
