Waverly Gardens runs a nonprofit home with 60 beds in North Oaks, and the staffing is where it looks strongest, 4.50 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17% above the national average, with turnover at 35.5% against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips about 8% below its own weekday level, so the extra hours aren't spread evenly across the week. The inspection record is the real weight here: 11 deficiencies on file, two of them at harm or jeopardy level and three abuse-related, with the last inspection in September 2024. That combination, good staffing numbers sitting alongside a 2/5 inspection rating and 2/5 quality measures, is what keeps the overall picture middling rather than strong.
Providence Place is a 190-bed nonprofit home in Minneapolis, and its staffing is genuinely above average, 3.90 nurse hours per resident day against a national 3.86, with a 4-out-of-5 staffing rating to match. What undercuts that is everything around it: turnover runs 78.5% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people delivering that care are new, and weekend staffing drops roughly 7% below the home's own weekday coverage. The inspection record shows 50 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, five tied to abuse, and $136,524 in fines across four penalties, with the most recent inspection dated May 2026.
Good Samaritan Society's Luverne home runs 51 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.88 hours per resident day, barely a whisker above the national average of 3.86. That staffing edge doesn't hold on weekends, though, when coverage drops about 21% below its own weekday level, a gap families should ask about directly. Staff turnover is the bigger problem: 60% a year against a national norm of 45.8%, meaning more than half the people caring for your relative will likely be new within twelve months.
The inspection record is thin for a 51-bed home, 32 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level, one tied to abuse, and a $57,045 fine. CMS gives quality measures just 1 of 5 stars, and the last inspection was April 2026.
Tweeten Lutheran runs about 0.95 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter of the national average, and weekend coverage drops another 20% below its own weekday level. Annual turnover sits at 81%, well above the 45.8% norm, and its current inspection record carries 34 deficiencies, including 4 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse. The most recent inspection was in April 2026.
