St Williams Living Center runs a 53-bed nonprofit home in Parkers Prairie, and its nurse staffing sits well above what most Minnesota nursing homes provide, about 5.15 hours per resident day. That cushion matters, though weekends drop roughly 13% below the home's own weekday coverage, and turnover near 30% is lower than the national average but still means roughly a third of the staff turns over each year. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 10 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus one fine of $14,901. A February 2026 inspection is recent, so the record is current, not stale. Strong staffing and quality scores don't erase those findings.

St. Johns on Fountain Lake runs a church-affiliated nonprofit home with 84 certified beds, and its staffing is the clearest strength: 4.55 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18% above the national average. Turnover sits at 29.4% against a national 45.8%, which means aides and nurses tend to stay. Weekends run about 12% leaner than weekdays, so ask how that gap gets covered. The tension is in the inspection record, 30 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, and one fine of $16,448, with the last inspection in December 2025. Quality measures score well; the survey history is what pulls the overall picture down.

Good Samaritan Society - Maplewood runs a nonprofit home with 71 certified beds in Saint Paul, and its staffing is the strongest part of the picture: 4.41 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14 percent above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping about 12 percent below its own weekdays. Turnover sits at 32 percent, well under the national 45.8 percent, which matters for consistent care. The inspection record is where it gets shakier, 33 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, and a 2-out-of-5 inspection rating from CMS. The most recent inspection was August 28, 2025, so that record is current, not stale.

St Francis Home runs on a church-affiliated nonprofit model in Breckenridge, and the numbers back up the staffing side: 4.20 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average, with a 5/5 CMS staffing rating. Weekend coverage dips about 12% below its own weekday level, worth knowing if you visit Saturdays or Sundays. Turnover sits at 32.6%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether your parent sees the same faces. The record shows 8 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in June 2026. Eight findings is a real number, not a spotless one, but the severity is what counts here.

Good Samaritan Society's Robbinsdale home runs a split personality in the federal data. Nurse staffing sits at 4.21 hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average, and only 30.1% of staff left last year against a national rate near 46%. Those numbers suggest people stay and care is present. The inspection record tells a different story: 52 deficiencies on file, four tied to abuse, and a one-star health inspection rating, even though nothing on the current record rises to actual harm or jeopardy. Weekends run about 12% thinner than weekdays, so timing matters. A recent June 2026 inspection means the state has looked lately. Strong staffing, a rough survey history.

Country Manor in Sartell runs 5.63 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 46% above the national average of 3.86, and that staffing depth shows up in its five-star staffing rating. Weekend coverage dips about 12% below its own weekday level, so the schedule thins out on Saturdays and Sundays even though the floor stays well staffed overall. Turnover sits at 44.4%, landing right around the national 45.8%, which is normal for the industry rather than a warning sign. Four deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a five-star health inspection rating from a visit dated April 2026.

Harmony Gardens runs on nurse staffing of 4.64 hours per resident day, roughly a fifth more than the national average, and its 24.7% turnover is well under half the national rate, people tend to stay. Weekends dip about 9% below weekday coverage, worth knowing if you visit then. The tradeoff sits on the inspection side: 23 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, which pulls the health inspection rating down to 3 out of 5. The most recent inspection was March 2026. Strong staffing and steady retention are real strengths here; the deficiency history is the part to ask about directly before deciding.

St John Lutheran Home runs 3.92 nurse staffing hours per resident day, a hair above the national average of 3.86, and its 34% turnover is well below the 45.8% typical elsewhere, both signs of a stable, adequately staffed floor. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below weekdays, so ask how that gap gets filled. The 14 deficiencies on record include none at the harm level and none related to abuse, and the last inspection was in June 2026, so the picture is current. Quality measures score well, though the three-star health inspection rating shows some room in how care is delivered day to day.

Pioneer Care Center runs on a nonprofit model with 105 certified beds in Fergus Falls, and the staffing numbers are the strongest part of the picture: 4.55 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18% above the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below its own weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover sits at 32.7%, well under the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses you meet are more likely to still be there next year. The 16 deficiencies on record include two tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was in June 2026.

Park View Health Care Center runs on more nurse time than most homes get, 4.69 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 15% below its own weekday level, which is normal, but worth knowing if you're planning visits around care needs. Staff turnover sits at 32% while the national average is 45.8%, so the crew here tends to stick around longer than elsewhere. On inspections, the record is clean: two deficiencies total, neither at the harm level, none abuse-related, and the most recent look came March 31, 2026. As a nonprofit with 92 beds, it's turning in strong numbers across staffing and quality alike.

Elim Wellspring runs about 5.05 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more staffing than the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip only about 14% below its own weekday level, which is a smaller drop than many homes show. The record is clean where it counts: two deficiencies total, none causing harm and none tied to abuse, with an inspection completed in December 2025. Staff turnover sits at 46.3%, nearly identical to the national 45.8%, so retention here looks typical rather than exceptional. As a nonprofit, it isn't managing to a quarterly earnings number. The staffing and inspection numbers are doing the talking.

Sholom Home West runs 5.39 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 40% above the national average, and its weekend staffing dips only about 6% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 18.8% against a national average near 46%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The home has 17 deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with its last inspection in March 2026. Ownership is nonprofit. One caveat worth knowing: the quality measure rating is 3 out of 5, softer than the staffing picture, so ask what specifically drives that before deciding.

Saint Therese At Oxbow Lake runs on a non-profit model with 64 certified beds in Brooklyn Park, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.73 hours per resident day, about 22% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips roughly 10% below its own weekday level, so the cushion narrows on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 26.6%, well under the national 45.8%, which suggests people tend to stay. The inspection record carries more weight than the staffing story: 30 deficiencies on file, though none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. The last inspection was February 2026, so the picture is current. Strong daily care numbers, a thinner inspection history.

McIntosh Senior Living runs on a non-profit model with 45 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noting: 4.92 nurse hours per resident day, about 27 percent above the national average. That matters more than any single inspection result, because consistent coverage is what keeps small homes safe day to day. Weekend staffing dips roughly 14 percent below its own weekday level, so ask how that gap gets covered. Staff turnover sits at 27 percent, well under the national 45.8 percent, which suggests people stay. The record shows 2 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, with no abuse citations and a recent March 2026 inspection.

Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institutes Trp runs 56 certified beds in Golden Valley under nonprofit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the standout: 7.24 nurse hours per resident day, roughly double the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips only about 6% below weekdays, and turnover at 38.7% sits below the 45.8% national figure. The weaker side is inspections, where CMS rates it 2 out of 5, with 12 deficiencies on record including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a $16,355 fine. That last inspection was recent, in March 2025, so the record is current rather than stale. Strong hands-on care, but a citation history worth asking about directly.

Boundary Waters Care Center runs on a nonprofit model with 42 beds in Ely, and the numbers behind its grade are worth walking through. Nurse staffing sits at 4.29 hours per resident day, roughly 11 percent above the national average, though weekend coverage drops about 16 percent below what the home staffs on weekdays, a pattern worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover lands at 41.7 percent, a bit better than the 45.8 percent national figure. The inspection record shows 11 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey completed in December 2025. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, come in at 5 out of 5.

Galeon runs a 40-bed nonprofit home in Osakis, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing: 5.37 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 39% above the national average of 3.86. That kind of margin usually shows up in day-to-day care, though weekends dip about 22% below the home's own weekday level, so the coverage isn't perfectly even across the week. Staff turnover sits at 27.3%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters for residents who need consistent caregivers. On the inspection side, five deficiencies are on record with none at the harm or jeopardy level, but two are abuse-related, so it's worth asking how those were resolved. The most recent inspection was December 17, 2025.

Essentia Health Northern Pines runs 33 certified beds in Aurora, and its inspection record is the cleanest part of the story: five deficiencies on file, none of them causing harm or jeopardy, none tied to abuse, and a survey completed in January 2026. Nurse staffing works out to 3.67 hours per resident day, about 5% under the national figure, and weekends drop roughly 19% below what the home staffs on weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays or Sundays. The number that stands out is turnover: 22.6% against a national average near 46%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay.

Six deficiencies sit on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. Weekend staffing dips about 18% below weekdays, so you'll want to ask how that gap gets covered.

Mount Olivet Careview Home runs on 5.25 total nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 36% above the national average, and its weekend coverage only dips about 7% below weekday levels, a fairly small drop. Staff turnover sits at 20.9%, less than half the national rate of 45.8%, which suggests people tend to stay. The trouble is on the inspection side: 17 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus a single fine of $55,043. The most recent inspection was February 25, 2026. Strong staffing and low turnover don't cancel out harm-level findings, they just mean the problems aren't coming from short-handed shifts.
