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.

Karlstad Healthcare Center runs on a steady crew. Nurse staffing sits at 3.95 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and the 17.2% turnover rate is far below the 45.8% most homes average, that kind of retention usually shows up in how consistently residents see familiar faces. Inspections back it up: a five-star health inspection rating, with just five deficiencies on record and none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. Weekend staffing dips about 12% below weekdays, worth asking about. The last inspection was May 2026, so the record is current.

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.

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.

Essentia Health Oak Crossing runs on 5.06 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, and its staff turnover of 24.3% is nearly half the national rate, that kind of retention usually shows up in how consistently residents get the same caregivers. The tradeoffs are on the inspection side: 11 deficiencies on record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and a $7,446 fine, though nothing abuse-related. The most recent inspection was December 2025, so the record is current. Weekend staffing dips about 10% below weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays or Sundays.

Flagstone runs on more nursing hours than most homes in the country, 4.29 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and its staff tends to stay, with turnover at 37.5% compared to 45.8% nationally. Weekend coverage dips only slightly below weekday levels, so care doesn't drop off when the week ends. The trade-off shows up in its inspection record: 27 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, though none rose to actual harm or jeopardy. That history, plus a middling inspection rating, is why this nonprofit's strong bedside staffing and quality scores don't translate into a spotless record.

Gracepointe Crossing Gables runs a nonprofit shop with 110 beds, and the staffing numbers are the story here: 4.08 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average, with turnover at 40.8% against a national 45.8%. That combination matters, enough hands on deck, and fewer of them walking out the door than is typical. Weekend coverage dips about 6% below the home's own weekday level, so the Monday-through-Friday picture is stronger than Saturday and Sunday. Seven deficiencies sit on the current record, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none tied to abuse. The last inspection was in September 2025, so that record is recent.

Gables Of Boutwells Landing runs 4.65 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth more than the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage stays within about 5% of its weekday level, a gap that's often wider elsewhere. Staff turnover sits at 31%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether residents see the same faces. The trade-off shows up on the health inspection side: 11 deficiencies on the current record, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a mid-tier inspection rating. No abuse citations, and the last survey was June 2026, so the picture is current.

Folkestone is a small nonprofit home in Wayzata, 30 certified beds, which means you're not dealing with a big corporate chain calling the shots. Staffing sits at 4.67 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 21% above the national average, and weekends dip only about 9% below its own weekday level, so the place doesn't hollow out when Friday rolls around. Turnover runs 35.1% against a national average near 46%, meaning caregivers tend to stick. The inspection record shows nine deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in November 2025. Its four- and five-star CMS ratings across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing line up with that picture.

Good Samaritan Ambassador runs on a nonprofit model with 77 certified beds in New Hope, and the staffing numbers back up the ratings: 4.56 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18% above the national average, with a 5/5 staffing star. Weekend coverage dips about 12% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays or Sundays. Turnover sits at 32.3% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. Two deficiencies on record, neither at the harm level nor abuse-related, and a 5/5 inspection star from a visit dated April 2026. Quality measures scored 3/5, the softer spot in an otherwise strong file.

Ecumen Lakeshore runs a nonprofit home with 60 certified beds in Duluth, and its staffing is the standout fact: 5.29 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 37 percent above the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 10 percent below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 46.3 percent, nearly identical to the national 45.8 percent, so continuity of caregivers is average rather than exceptional. On the regulatory side, the record is clean where it counts: two deficiencies total, none at the harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and a health inspection from May 2026.

Three Links Care Center runs a nonprofit shop with 92 beds in Northfield, and the staffing numbers are the strongest part of the picture: 4.16 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, with turnover at 38.8% compared to 45.8% nationally. That stability matters, though weekend coverage drops about 11% below weekday levels, so ask how that gap gets filled. The inspection record is where it gets murkier, 16 deficiencies on file, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus one fine of $12,649. The last inspection was July 2025, so the record is current.

Edenbrook Of Edina runs 4.01 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and its staff turnover of 38.3% is lower than the 45.8% typical elsewhere, meaning caregivers here tend to stick around longer than at most homes. Weekends, though, dip roughly 10% below weekday coverage, so ask how that gap gets filled. The record isn't clean: 29 deficiencies, including six tied to abuse and one at the harm level, with a two-star health inspection rating. That last inspection was in January 2026, so the findings are recent. Quality measures score well and staffing is solid, but the inspection history is the part worth pressing on.

The Green Prairie Rehabilitation Center runs 42 beds in Plainview under corporate for-profit ownership, and its last health inspection came in December 2025 with no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level, though one abuse-related citation is on the record among ten total. Nurse staffing sits at 3.29 hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 11% leaner than weekdays. Turnover is 38.9%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure. Federal ratings put quality measures and staffing at the top of the scale, and inspection results close behind.

Assumption Home in Cold Spring runs on church-affiliated nonprofit ownership and 76 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.01 hours per resident day, about 4% above the national average, though weekends dip roughly 12% below its own weekday levels. Turnover lands at 44.1%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection history is where you'll want to slow down: 15 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus a single fine of $17,345. The last inspection was November 2024. Strong staffing and quality marks coexist with real findings, so ask about the abuse citation and the weekend coverage gap directly.

Presbyterian Homes Of Bloomington runs a nonprofit home with 98 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.80 hours per resident day, roughly 24% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend hours dip about 8% below its own weekday level, so coverage isn't perfectly even, but the floor stays well above average. Staff turnover is 30.8% against a national 45.8%, which matters for continuity of care. The current record shows 13 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in April 2025. The weaker spot is the 2/5 quality measure rating; strong staffing and a clean harm record don't erase that.

Milaca Elim Meadows runs on a nonprofit model with 70 certified beds, and its staffing sits at 4.50 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17 percent above the national average of 3.86. That margin matters most on weekends, where hours dip about 11 percent below the home's own weekday pace, so ask how weekend coverage actually looks on the days your family visits. The inspection record shows 11 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none tied to abuse, with the most recent survey completed in December 2025. Quality measures score at the top of CMS's scale, while inspections and staffing each land one notch below.

Good Samaritan Society - Jackson runs on 4.07 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 5% above the national average, and that staffing shows up in a 30.8% turnover rate, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters because stable caregivers know the residents. Weekends are the soft spot: staffing drops about 17% below its own weekday level, so coverage isn't evenly spread across the week. The current record carries 15 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related and worth asking about directly. Inspections are recent, from September 2024, so the picture reflects how the home operates now.

Essentia Health Virginia Care Cent runs 40 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits at 5.08 hours per resident day, roughly 32% above the national average of 3.86. That's the number driving its staffing star rating of 5/5, though weekend coverage drops about 18% below its own weekday level, so the daily experience can vary. Staff turnover is 40.7%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The home carries 9 deficiencies on its current record with none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and it was last inspected March 26, 2026. Inspection rating is 4/5, quality measures 3/5.

Essentia Health Grace Home runs a tight 30-bed operation in Graceville, and the staffing numbers are the story here: 4.42 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national average, with turnover at 36% compared to roughly 46% nationally. That combination matters, enough hands on deck, and staff who tend to stay. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops about a fifth below the home's own weekday level, so a Saturday shift may look thinner than a Tuesday. Eleven deficiencies on record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in March 2026. Quality measures land mid-range, inspections stronger. Worth asking how the weekend gap actually plays out on the floor.
