Auburn Home In Waconia is a 37-bed nonprofit in Carver County, and the numbers worth knowing sit mostly on the inspection side. Its record carries 35 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus a $10,361 fine, enough that CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of serious problems. Staffing hours come in just under the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 14% below its own weekday level, which matters in a building this small. Annual turnover of 61.7% is well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people providing care keep changing. The most recent inspection was April 2, 2025.
Cura Of Long Prairie is a 60-bed nonprofit in Todd County, and its inspection record is the strongest thing it has going. Seven deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with a survey done as recently as June 2026. Nurse staffing runs 4.75 hours per resident day, about 23 percent above the national average, though weekends drop roughly 6 percent below the home's own weekday level. The softer spots are the quality measure star rating, which sits at 2 out of 5, and a staffing star rating of 3 despite those total hours, worth asking about, since hours don't always land where residents feel them.
Cura Of Sauk Centre runs 60 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.44 hours per resident day, roughly 15% above the national average. That sounds good on paper, but the number hides a problem: weekends run about 16% thinner than weekdays, so coverage depends heavily on when you visit or call.
The bigger issue is turnover. Every direct-care position effectively turned over in the past year, versus about 46% nationally, which means your family member's aides are likely new and still learning the building. Thirteen deficiencies sit on the current record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and the most recent inspection was in March 2026. Quality measures scored 2 out of 5.
Neilson Place runs 78 certified beds in Bemidji under nonprofit ownership, and the staffing picture is mixed in a way that matters. Total nurse hours sit at 3.80 per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86, but weekends drop about 14% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 55.4% against a national 45.8%. Those two numbers together mean care is thinner exactly when families tend to visit and fewer familiar faces are on hand at all.
The inspection record is where the real weight sits: 47 deficiencies, 10 of them abuse-related, 6 serious enough to put residents in harm's way, and $45,915 in fines across 3 events. The most recent inspection is from March 2026, so the record is current, not stale.
Lb Broen Home in Fergus Falls runs 74 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.89 hours per resident day, just a hair above the 3.86 national average. That thin margin is worth noting, especially since weekend coverage drops about 7% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Its inspection record is the strong point: a 4-out-of-5 star rating with 10 total deficiencies and none at the harm or jeopardy level. But two of those deficiencies are abuse-related, and the quality measure score is only 2 out of 5, which suggests the clinical outcomes data isn't keeping pace with how the building looks on inspection day.
Benedictine Care Community runs 49 beds in Ada under nonprofit ownership, and the numbers say the care side needs a closer look. Nurse staffing sits at 3.16 hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average, and weekends drop about 12% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Turnover is the bigger flag: 60.4% of staff leave each year against a national average near 46%, which means the people showing up are often new. Inspections back that up, 28 deficiencies on record, two at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, and one fine of $154,460. The most recent inspection was June 2026, so the picture is current, not stale. Worth asking about staffing plans and how they hold the line on weekends.
Edgebrook Care Center runs on 2.45 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 37 percent under the national average of 3.86, and the federal staffing rating lands at 1 out of 5 because of it. Weekend coverage tracks about 1 percent above weekdays, so that's not where the gap comes from. The inspection record shows 16 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none involve abuse; the health inspection rating sits at 2 out of 5, with the most recent survey done in November 2025. It's a 54-bed nonprofit, and the quality measure rating of 3 shows clinical care isn't failing across the board, the shortfall is hands on deck.
Littlefork Care Center runs 42 beds as a nonprofit, and its staffing numbers are decent on paper, 3.41 nurse hours per resident day, though that's still about 12% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop roughly 17% below the home's own weekday level, and turnover sits at 52.8% against a national 45.8%, so the same faces aren't always there. The inspection record is where it gets harder to explain: 33 deficiencies on file, one at harm or jeopardy level, six tied to abuse, and a single $218,595 fine. The most recent inspection was December 10, 2025.
Crest View Lutheran Home has 106 certified beds and runs on a nonprofit model, with total nurse staffing at 4.19 hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real strength. Weekend staffing, though, drops about 6% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The bigger concern sits in its inspection record: 48 deficiencies, including 4 at the harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse. One fine totaling $16,720 is on file, and the most recent inspection was June 26, 2025. Staffing looks solid on paper; the survey history is where the risk shows up.
The Estates at Fridley runs 3.25 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 16 percent under the national figure, and weekends drop another 11 percent below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 42.5 percent, a touch better than the 45.8 percent national rate, and a nonprofit corporation holds the license, though that hasn't kept the record clean. Thirty-seven deficiencies are on file, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection dated August 2025. The staffing star lands at 4, quality at 3, but health inspections sit at 2 out of 5, which is where families should focus their questions.
Nurse staffing at Mayo Clinic Health System - Lake City runs 4.70 hours per resident day, about 22% above the national average, and CMS gives it 5 stars for staffing. Weekends dip roughly 9% below its own weekday levels, and turnover sits at 44.4%, essentially the national rate. The trouble is inspections: 22 deficiencies on the current record, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 abuse-related, with two fines totaling $145,117. Its most recent inspection was July 31, 2025. Strong hands-on care and a 4-star quality measure score are real, but a 2-star inspection rating and that deficiency history are what hold this home back.
Benedictine Health Center runs 96 certified beds in Duluth under nonprofit, church-related ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.94 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86. That margin shrinks on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 13% below its own weekday level. The bigger problem shows up in its record: 19 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating. Annual turnover of 51.8% runs ahead of the 45.8% national figure, so the people providing that above-average care keep changing. Its quality measure score is strong; the inspection history is what pulls it down.
Heritage Manor runs a 65-bed nonprofit home in Chisholm, and the numbers pull in different directions. Staffing sits at 3.41 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12 percent under the national average, and weekends drop about 14 percent below the home's own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot at 31 percent, well under the 45.8 percent national figure, which suggests less churn than most places. The current inspection record is the concern: 25 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in June 2025.
Warroad Care Center runs on a paradox: 5.00 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 29% above the national average, and a 4-out-of-5 staffing star to match. That's genuinely hard to find in a 49-bed rural home. The problem is everything else. Fifty deficiencies sit on the current record, including five at harm or jeopardy level and eleven tied to abuse, and CMS has levied seven fines totaling $280,774. Weekend staffing drops about 13% below the home's own weekday level, so the strong average doesn't hold every day. A 1-out-of-5 inspection rating with a December 2025 survey means the state has been watching closely. Good hours alone haven't kept residents safe here.
Stewartville Care Center runs on a paradox: 4.36 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average, yet the people providing that care turn over at 60.3% a year against a 45.8% norm. Weekends dip about 13% below weekday coverage, and the inspection record is thin for a 50-bed nonprofit, 33 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse, and a 2-out-of-5 inspection rating. Quality measures sit at 1/5 even as staffing earns 4/5, which tells you the hands are present but the consistency and outcomes aren't holding. One fine totaling $11,911 and an April 2025 inspection round out the picture.
Cura Of Melrose runs a nonprofit home with 75 certified beds in Stearns County. The nurse staffing number looks decent on paper, 4.02 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, but weekends drop roughly 10% below weekday coverage, and turnover sits at 57.2% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing that care keep changing. The inspection record is where the trouble shows: 16 deficiencies, four serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, two tied to abuse, and a $26,685 fine. Two stars each on health inspections and quality measures tells you the same story the deficiency count does.
Cura Of Willmar runs a 78-bed nonprofit home where the nurses' hours per resident day come in about 23% above the national average, and that staffing earns a 4 out of 5 from CMS. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops roughly 13% below what the home runs on weekdays. Inspections are the weaker side: 17 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with the most recent visit in August 2025. Quality measures land mid-range. Strong weekday nursing hours don't cancel out a harm-level finding, and families weighing this home should ask directly how weekends and evenings get covered.
Villa St Vincent runs a hundred beds in Crookston under nonprofit ownership, and its staffing is the one number that looks healthy, 3.96 nurse hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, with turnover at 42.3% that's a touch better than the 45.8% norm. Weekends thin out about 13% from weekday coverage. The inspection record is where this home struggles: 25 deficiencies on file, five at harm or jeopardy level and seven abuse-related, plus a $29,234 fine, with the last survey dated June 2026. Quality measures sit low, and the staffing strength isn't enough to offset that citation history.
Mission Nursing Home runs on 1.09 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter of what the average U.S. nursing home provides. The weekend gap is small, but the baseline itself is the problem. Turnover sits at 24 percent, well below the national 45.8 percent, so the staff who are there tend to stay, there just aren't many of them per resident. On the inspection side, the record shows 33 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with a $14,015 fine. Federal ratings put quality measures and health inspections at 2 out of 5, staffing at 1. The most recent inspection was May 2026.
Browns Valley Health Center is a 31-bed nonprofit home where the day-to-day staffing is genuinely strong, 4.19 nurse hours per resident, roughly 8% above the national average, and turnover at 40% beats the 45.8% national figure. Weekends run about 15% thinner than weekdays, so ask how that gap gets covered. The trouble sits in inspections: nine deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus a $26,685 fine. The last inspection was in April 2026. Good staffing and a clean quality-measure score don't cancel out an abuse-related finding, read the inspection report yourself before deciding.
