Lake Minnetonka Shores runs a lean ship on staffing: 4.26 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, and its 29.1% turnover is well below the 45.8% norm, a sign people stick around. Weekends dip about 6% below weekdays, worth knowing if you'll visit then. The catch is care quality. Nine deficiencies on record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus an $8,827 fine. Federal quality measures score 2 out of 5 even as staffing earns top marks. The last inspection was in April 2025. This is a nonprofit home where the hands are steady but the clinical outcomes don't match that strength yet.

Whitewater Health Services runs 45 beds in St. Charles under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.52 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The stronger number is turnover: 22.7% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses here tend to stay. Inspections in May 2025 turned up 22 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus a single $16,452 fine. Consistent caregivers, but a citation record worth asking about directly.

Edenbrook Rochester West runs 48 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing picture is genuinely better than most: 4.25 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, with a 34.4% turnover rate that beats the 45.8% norm. Weekends slip about 14% below weekday coverage, which is worth knowing if your visits fall on Saturdays. What pulls the record down is inspections, a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 41 deficiencies on the current record including three at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus a $14,518 fine. The most recent inspection was November 2025, so the findings are current, not stale. Strong staffing, troubled oversight.

Woodlyn Heights runs 79 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is the weak spot: 50 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse. That's a lot of paperwork for a home this size, and the two-star health inspection rating reflects it. Staffing looks steadier, 3.82 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a hair under the national average, with weekend coverage dropping about 11% below weekdays. Turnover at 40.3% actually beats the national 45.8%, which suggests workers stay longer than at the typical home. Quality measures score well at 4/5 stars, so day-to-day care metrics look solid even though the inspection history is what I'd bring up first with the family.

Aicota Health Care Center runs 4.17 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, which helps explain the staffing side of its record. Weekend coverage drops about 16% below what the home provides on weekdays, so the weekday number isn't the whole story. State inspectors found 19 deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none related to abuse, a long list, but not a dangerous one. The most recent inspection was January 9, 2026, so the findings are current. This is a for-profit corporation running 56 certified beds in Aitkin. Solid care numbers, steady survey activity, and staffing that thins out on weekends.

Presbyterian Homes of Arden Hills runs on a nonprofit model with 128 certified beds, and its staffing is the clearest strength here, 4.16 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, with a 5/5 CMS staffing rating to back it up. Weekend coverage dips about 8% below weekday levels, which matters if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover sits at 19.4%, well under the national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses you meet are more likely to still be there next year. The caution side: 22 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, a 3/5 inspection rating, and a 2/5 quality measure score. The last inspection was September 2024.

Lifecare Roseau Manor runs on unusually heavy staffing for a 40-bed nonprofit home, 5.71 nurse hours per resident day, roughly half again the national average, and its staff actually stick around, with turnover near 28% against a national rate closer to 46%. Weekends dip about 13% below its own weekday coverage, so care thins out on Saturdays and Sundays. The catch shows up in the inspection record: eight deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus a $17,610 fine, and residents' measured outcomes sit at the bottom of the federal scale. Plenty of hands, uneven results.

Woodlake runs on staffing that's meaningfully above what most homes manage, 4.28 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and its 28.2% turnover is well below the 45.8% typical elsewhere, which matters because stable aides know the residents. Weekends run about 7% thinner than weekdays, so ask how that gap gets covered. The tradeoff shows up in its record: 26 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was recent, in December 2025. It's a for-profit, individually owned home with 188 beds, and the health inspection and quality ratings both sit at three stars.

Little Sisters of the Poor runs 73 certified beds in Saint Paul under nonprofit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.95 hours per resident day, roughly 28% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below its own weekday level, and staff turnover lands at 47.9%, just above the national 45.8%. The tradeoff shows up in its inspection record: 29 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $13,265. Its most recent inspection was January 28, 2026. Strong daily staffing paired with that many cited problems is the tension worth weighing if you're considering this one.

Lakewood Care Center runs on a church-affiliated nonprofit model with 32 beds in Baudette, and its staffing is the clear strength here: 4.41 nurse hours per resident day sits about 14% above the national average, with turnover at 37% compared to 45.8% nationally. That's a real retention advantage in a rural market where it's hard to keep nurses. The tradeoffs show up elsewhere. Twenty deficiencies sit on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related citation. Health inspection scoring landed at 3 out of 5, and the quality measure rating is 2 out of 5. The last inspection was June 26, 2025, so the record is recent. Strong staffing, thinner outcomes on care measures and inspection findings.

Good Samaritan Society - St James runs 42 certified beds in Watonwan County under nonprofit corporate ownership, and its staffing picture is more interesting than the headline number. Direct care sits at 3.32 hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 11% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. What offsets that is retention: turnover is 34.4% against a national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. Eighteen deficiencies appear on the current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection completed May 29, 2025.

Carondelet Village Care Center runs on a church-affiliated nonprofit model with 45 certified beds in Saint Paul, and its staffing is genuinely a strength, 4.44 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 15% above the national average of 3.86, with a 5 out of 5 staffing rating and turnover at 34% compared to 45.8% nationally. Weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday coverage, though, so care isn't perfectly even across the week. The weaker side shows up in the inspection record: 11 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a $9,113 fine. A quality measure rating of 2 out of 5 and a health inspection rating of 4 out of 5 suggest the clinical outcomes don't fully match the staffing investment.

St. Therese of Woodbury runs on 56 beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.70 hours per resident day, roughly 22% above the national average of 3.86. That's the strongest number here, and it shows up in the five-star staffing rating. Turnover is 31.4%, well below the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. Weekends run about 12% leaner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits then. The tradeoff is a longer deficiency record: 21 citations, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy. None were abuse-related. Inspections are recent, and quality and health inspection ratings both land mid-range.

Diversicare of Eupora runs 119 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.24 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 16% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 14% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is 40.6%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The current record carries 31 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related. The last inspection was February 26, 2026, so the record is recent. Quality and staffing measures rate 4 out of 5; health inspections rate 2.

Rolla Presbyterian Manor runs a tight ship on nurse staffing, 4.49 hours per resident day, about 16 percent more than the national average, enough to earn the top federal staffing rating. That's the strongest thing going for it. Turnover sits at 53.3 percent, though, higher than the 45.8 percent national figure, and weekend coverage dips roughly 8 percent below its own weekday level. Eight deficiencies appear on the current record, none involving harm or abuse, and the last inspection was in March 2025. As a small nonprofit with 30 beds, it's the kind of place where you can ask directly who stays on weekends and how long aides tend to last.

Bethesda Southgate runs on better-than-average staffing for a 130-bed nonprofit home in St. Louis County, 4.32 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national figure. Weekend coverage dips about 12% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 31.5%, well under the 45.8% national average, which suggests people tend to stay. The tradeoff shows up in the record: 15 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, against an otherwise strong inspection history from July 2024. Quality measure scores land mid-range, so the clinical picture is decent but not standout.

Heritage of Emerson runs 38 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing is the weak spot: 3.04 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth under the national average, with weekends about 13% thinner than weekdays. Turnover sits at 39.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who stay tend to stay. Inspections look solid, a 4/5 health inspection rating, a 5/5 on quality measures, and the most recent visit was June 2025. Nine deficiencies are on record, none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly.

Belknap County Nursing Home runs on county money, and the staffing numbers show it: 4.96 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 29% above the national average, with a 5/5 CMS staffing rating and turnover at 31.9% against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Sundays. The current record holds four deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with an inspection dated September 2025. Where it slips is quality measures, rated 1/5, that's the number worth asking about directly.

Family Of Caring At Teaneck runs 107 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing numbers land just under the national mark, 3.70 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86, with weekends about 13% thinner than weekdays. That gap matters more than the headline figure, since care doesn't pause on Saturdays. Turnover sits at 30.4%, well below the 45.8% national average, which suggests a steadier workforce than most. Inspections in December 2025 turned up 18 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one was abuse-related. All three CMS star categories, health inspection, quality measures, and staffing, come in at 4 out of 5.

The Manor in Freehold runs on 4.14 nurse hours per resident per day, about 7% above the national average, and its staff tends to stay, 23.9% annual turnover against a national rate near 46%. Weekend coverage dips roughly 12% below its own weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Its record shows 8 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a June 2025 inspection. Nonprofit ownership under a corporation, four stars on health inspections, quality measures, and staffing alike. Solid, not spotless, the kind of home where the numbers hold up.
