Staff turnover
56%
Serious cites

Good Samaritan Society - Battle Lake is a small nonprofit home, 51 beds, in Otter Tail County, and its inspection record is the strongest thing it has going. Four deficiencies on file, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, and a fresh inspection from November 2025. Where it slips is staffing: 3.62 nurse hours per resident day sits about 6% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 15% lighter than the home's own weekdays, which is worth asking about if your family tends to visit Saturday or Sunday. Annual turnover of 55.6% is well above the 45.8% national figure and tells you aides and nurses cycle through here faster than average.

Clarkfield Care Center runs 30 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.01 hours per resident day, roughly 4% above the national average of 3.86. That edge narrows on weekends, when coverage drops about 8% below the home's own weekday level, so the weekday-to-weekend difference is worth asking about directly. Staff turnover lands at 48.6%, a few points above the national 45.8%, meaning nearly half the nursing staff turns over in a year. The current record shows nine deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a recent inspection in April 2026 and four stars each on health inspections and staffing.

Good Samaritan Society - International Falls runs a tight ship on staffing, clocking 4.08 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% above the national average, and turnover at 43.3% edges out the national rate of 45.8%. That staffing consistency shows in the top-tier CMS rating for it. Where the picture muddies is weekends: coverage drops roughly 18% below the home's own weekday level, which matters for a 54-bed nonprofit. The inspection record shows 30 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none tied to abuse, and a single fine of $8,190. Quality measures sit lower than staffing at 2 out of 5 stars, suggesting clinical outcomes aren't keeping pace with the hours worked.

Cura Of Le Sueur runs about 6.18 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 60% above the national average of 3.86, that's a real staffing advantage, and weekends dip only about 11% below its own weekday level. The catch is what inspections found: 27 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. Quality measure scores are weak, and the last inspection was February 24, 2026. One fine totaling $8,021 is on file. Strong nurse coverage and a clean record aren't the same thing, and the inspection history here is the part worth asking about directly.

Gil-Mor Manor runs 4.42 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average, and that shows up in a 4-out-of-5 staffing rating. Weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday levels, so coverage isn't perfectly even. The inspection record is the weaker part: 29 deficiencies on file, including one abuse-related citation, though none rose to harm or jeopardy, and the last survey was in July 2025. Quality measures sit at 2 out of 5. This is a small nonprofit home where the day-to-day nursing presence is a real strength, but the survey history is worth asking about directly before you decide.

The Episcopal Church Home The Gardens carries a nurse staffing level of 5.69 hours per resident day, roughly 47% above the national average of 3.86, a real strength, though weekend coverage dips about 7% below its own weekday numbers. That staffing cushion sits against a less comfortable inspection record: 33 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection dated April 2026. As a nonprofit, it doesn't have a corporate chain pulling money out, but the health inspection rating of 2 out of 5 suggests the care environment hasn't consistently matched what the staffing numbers promise. Families should ask directly about those abuse-related findings and what changed after them.

Harmony River Living Center runs on 4.09 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 29.5% sits well below the 45.8% national figure, a sign people tend to stay. Weekend coverage dips slightly below weekday levels, though the difference is modest. The inspection record is where the picture darkens: 9 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 2 tied to abuse, plus one fine of $13,520. The most recent inspection was April 2026. Strong staffing and unusually low turnover are real strengths; the harm-level and abuse-related findings are the part of this record a family should ask about directly.

Staff turnover

Pathstone Living has real bedside coverage, 4.92 nurse hours per resident day, well above the 3.86 national average, but the weekend dips about 15% below its own weekday level, so the care you see on a Tuesday may not match a Saturday. Staff turnover at 44.9% sits basically at the national rate. The trouble is the inspection record: 39 deficiencies, three tied to abuse and three at harm or jeopardy level, plus $120,546 in fines, and a one-star health inspection rating against a five-star staffing score. The most recent survey was December 2025. Strong staffing alone doesn't offset that pattern, so ask hard questions about the abuse findings before deciding.

Benedictine Living Community Owatonna runs a nonprofit shop with 79 beds, and the nurse staffing number is genuinely better than most, 4.07 hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average, with a 4-star staffing rating to match. Weekends thin out about 11% below weekdays, though, and turnover sits at 50%, a few points above the national 45.8%. The trouble is the inspection record: 39 deficiencies, four serious enough to endanger residents, one tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $36,638. A recent July 2025 inspection and a 1-star health inspection rating point the same direction. Staffing alone doesn't carry a building.

Gundersen Harmony Care Center is a 42-bed nonprofit in Fillmore County, and its inspection record is genuinely strong, a five-star health inspection rating with the most recent survey in May 2026. But four deficiencies sit on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a $12,649 fine. Staffing tells a similar mixed story: 3.38 nurse hours per resident day is roughly 13% under the national average of 3.86, weekends run about 14% below the home's own weekday coverage, and turnover at 51.4% tops the 45.8% national figure. Good surveys, thinner hands on deck.

Maple Lawn Senior Care runs on 4.57 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18% above the national average, and that staffing shows up in a 4-out-of-5 staffing rating. The catch is consistency: weekends drop about 14% below the home's own weekday coverage. Inspections landed at 3 out of 5, with 17 deficiencies on record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but one tied to abuse, which families should ask about directly. Quality measures came in at 2 out of 5, the weakest number here, and staff turnover sits at 64.2% against a national 45.8%, meaning nearly two-thirds of the workforce left within a year. The last inspection was February 2026, so the record is current.

Ebenezer Integrated Care & Rehab sits in Saint Paul with 62 certified beds under nonprofit ownership. Staffing is the strength here, 5.35 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national average, with turnover at 37.4% against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Sundays. What pulls the record down is the inspection side: 20 deficiencies on file, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 2 tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $31,360. The most recent inspection was April 2026. Strong staffing, but the compliance history is worth asking about directly.

Good Samaritan Society-Westbrook runs 32 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its staffing story is mixed. At 3.55 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 8% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 16% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 29% against a national 45.8% means aides and nurses here tend to stay, which matters for consistency of care. On inspections, the record shows 14 deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, most recently surveyed March 2026. Quality measures score low, so ask what those specifically reflect.

Madonna Towers of Rochester runs a nonprofit home with 62 beds, and its nurse staffing sits a hair above the national average, 3.97 hours per resident day against 3.86. That margin shrinks on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 12% below its own weekday levels, so the hours aren't spread evenly across the week. The bigger flag is turnover: 60.5% of staff leaving annually, well past the 45.8% national figure. Inspections look solid on paper, with a 4-star health rating and a recent April 2026 survey, but the record carries 14 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus a $10,196 fine. Good survey scores and steady churn can coexist; ask how they hold onto aides.

Little Falls Care Center runs a nonprofit home with 64 certified beds, and its staffing numbers tell a mixed story. Nurses provide 3.61 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops roughly 7% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Annual turnover sits at 52.6%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so aides and nurses are cycling through regularly. The inspection record is the harder part: 41 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, from an April 2024 visit. Quality measures land mid-range, and the staffing star rating looks better than the day-to-day consistency suggests.

Minnewaska Community Health Services runs on unusually heavy nurse staffing, 7.14 hours per resident day against a national average near 3.86, and that shows up in its four-star staffing rating. The catch is who's providing it: turnover sits at 61.5%, well above the 45.8% norm, and weekend coverage dips about 9% below weekday levels, so the hours aren't always delivered by familiar faces. On inspections, the record is thinner: 18 deficiencies, two serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, and roughly $25,000 in fines. The last survey came in April 2026. This church-affiliated nonprofit has real direct-care muscle, but consistency and regulatory follow-through are where it wobbles.

Fair Meadow in Fertile runs a nonprofit home where the nurse staffing works out to 5.24 hours per resident each day, roughly a third more than the national average, though weekends drop about 22% below what the home covers during the week, so the coverage families see on a Saturday may not match a Tuesday. Inspectors were last in on September 10, 2025, and the health inspection rating came back strong, but the record still carries 14 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, none serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level. The quality measure rating is the weak spot at 2 out of 5, which sits oddly against the generous staffing. Worth asking the director directly about those three abuse citations and how the home staffs weekends.

Jourdain Perpich Extended Care in Redlake runs 47 beds as a nonprofit, and its inspection record is genuinely clean, two deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, nothing abuse-related, with a survey completed in January 2026. Where it falls short is staffing, which CMS rates in the bottom tier. That single weak spot matters more than the perfect marks on inspections and quality measures, because aides and nurses are who actually deliver the care those scores describe. A small facility can only stretch so far, and the numbers say this one is stretched. If you're considering it, ask specifically how many CNAs are on the floor on evenings and weekends.

Aftenro Home runs lean on nurse staffing at 3.52 hours per resident day, about 9% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 17% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record is heavy: 24 deficiencies, though none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated March 19, 2026. That one-star health inspection and one-star quality measure rating sit alongside a five-star staffing rating, which looks contradictory until you notice turnover at 26.4%, well below the 45.8% national average. Stable, experienced caregivers are a real strength; the state surveyor findings are the concern worth asking about directly.

Birchwood Health Care Center runs 100 certified beds in Forest Lake as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing lands right at the national average of 3.86 hours per resident day. Weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday coverage, which is worth asking about if your family member needs care on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 37.7%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so caregivers tend to stick around longer than at many homes. The harder numbers are on the inspection side: 33 deficiencies on the current record, three at harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, plus $48,698 in fines across three penalties. The most recent inspection was April 2025.
