Lake Minnetonka Shores runs a lean ship on staffing: 4.26 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, and its 29.1% turnover is well below the 45.8% norm, a sign people stick around. Weekends dip about 6% below weekdays, worth knowing if you'll visit then. The catch is care quality. Nine deficiencies on record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus an $8,827 fine. Federal quality measures score 2 out of 5 even as staffing earns top marks. The last inspection was in April 2025. This is a nonprofit home where the hands are steady but the clinical outcomes don't match that strength yet.

Whitewater Health Services runs 45 beds in St. Charles under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.52 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The stronger number is turnover: 22.7% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses here tend to stay. Inspections in May 2025 turned up 22 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus a single $16,452 fine. Consistent caregivers, but a citation record worth asking about directly.

Edenbrook Rochester West runs 48 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing picture is genuinely better than most: 4.25 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, with a 34.4% turnover rate that beats the 45.8% norm. Weekends slip about 14% below weekday coverage, which is worth knowing if your visits fall on Saturdays. What pulls the record down is inspections, a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 41 deficiencies on the current record including three at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus a $14,518 fine. The most recent inspection was November 2025, so the findings are current, not stale. Strong staffing, troubled oversight.

Woodlyn Heights runs 79 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is the weak spot: 50 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse. That's a lot of paperwork for a home this size, and the two-star health inspection rating reflects it. Staffing looks steadier, 3.82 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a hair under the national average, with weekend coverage dropping about 11% below weekdays. Turnover at 40.3% actually beats the national 45.8%, which suggests workers stay longer than at the typical home. Quality measures score well at 4/5 stars, so day-to-day care metrics look solid even though the inspection history is what I'd bring up first with the family.

Presbyterian Homes of Arden Hills runs on a nonprofit model with 128 certified beds, and its staffing is the clearest strength here, 4.16 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, with a 5/5 CMS staffing rating to back it up. Weekend coverage dips about 8% below weekday levels, which matters if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover sits at 19.4%, well under the national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses you meet are more likely to still be there next year. The caution side: 22 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, a 3/5 inspection rating, and a 2/5 quality measure score. The last inspection was September 2024.

Lakewood Care Center runs on a church-affiliated nonprofit model with 32 beds in Baudette, and its staffing is the clear strength here: 4.41 nurse hours per resident day sits about 14% above the national average, with turnover at 37% compared to 45.8% nationally. That's a real retention advantage in a rural market where it's hard to keep nurses. The tradeoffs show up elsewhere. Twenty deficiencies sit on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related citation. Health inspection scoring landed at 3 out of 5, and the quality measure rating is 2 out of 5. The last inspection was June 26, 2025, so the record is recent. Strong staffing, thinner outcomes on care measures and inspection findings.

Good Samaritan Society - St James runs 42 certified beds in Watonwan County under nonprofit corporate ownership, and its staffing picture is more interesting than the headline number. Direct care sits at 3.32 hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 11% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. What offsets that is retention: turnover is 34.4% against a national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. Eighteen deficiencies appear on the current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection completed May 29, 2025.

Carondelet Village Care Center runs on a church-affiliated nonprofit model with 45 certified beds in Saint Paul, and its staffing is genuinely a strength, 4.44 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 15% above the national average of 3.86, with a 5 out of 5 staffing rating and turnover at 34% compared to 45.8% nationally. Weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday coverage, though, so care isn't perfectly even across the week. The weaker side shows up in the inspection record: 11 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a $9,113 fine. A quality measure rating of 2 out of 5 and a health inspection rating of 4 out of 5 suggest the clinical outcomes don't fully match the staffing investment.

St. Therese of Woodbury runs on 56 beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.70 hours per resident day, roughly 22% above the national average of 3.86. That's the strongest number here, and it shows up in the five-star staffing rating. Turnover is 31.4%, well below the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. Weekends run about 12% leaner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits then. The tradeoff is a longer deficiency record: 21 citations, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy. None were abuse-related. Inspections are recent, and quality and health inspection ratings both land mid-range.

Guardian Angels in Hibbing runs a stable ship on the staffing side, 3.99 nurse hours per resident day sits slightly above the national average, and a 26.1% turnover rate is well below the typical 45.8%. That consistency matters, especially on weekends, when coverage still dips about 13% below weekday levels. Where the record gets harder to read is inspections: 41 deficiencies, four serious enough to put residents in harm's way, one tied to abuse, and $26,481 in fines, all reflected in a one-star health inspection rating that last came around in June 2025. Good staffing and a rough regulatory history can coexist, and here they do.

Maplewood Rehabilitation Center runs 115 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its numbers pull in different directions. Nurse staffing sits at 3.58 hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 9% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot at 35.8%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests the staff who are there tend to stay. What drags the record down is the inspection history: 43 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated December 2025.

St Benedicts runs a nonprofit home in Saint Cloud with 75 beds, and the day-to-day nursing hours are genuinely above average, 4.46 per resident, roughly 15% more than the national figure. Weekends thin out some, about 11% below its own weekday coverage, and that gap matters when families visit and notice fewer hands on deck. Staff turnover sits at 62.3%, well above the 45.8% national rate, which is the kind of churn that wears on consistency of care even when raw staffing numbers look strong. The inspection history is recent and mostly clean, though ten deficiencies on record with one at the harm level is not nothing.

Zumbrota Care Center runs 42 beds as a nonprofit, and its staffing numbers tell a mixed story. Nurses provide 3.66 hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops roughly 15% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Turnover sits at 40.5%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, and CMS gives the home five stars for staffing. The trouble is inspections: 24 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a $28,321 fine. The most recent inspection was August 2025, and CMS rates that side of things two stars out of five.

Maranatha Care Center runs on strong staffing: 4.24 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% more than the national average, with weekend coverage dipping about 8% below its own weekdays. Turnover sits at 25%, well under the 45.8% national figure, a real advantage in a field where constant retraining costs residents familiar faces. The inspection record backs that up, with no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level and a recent survey from May 2026. Two abuse-related deficiencies and a quality measure rating of 1 out of 5 are the counterweight; whatever the staffing strength buys, it hasn't translated into strong clinical outcomes on paper. The church-affiliated nonprofit ownership is a steadying factor.

Good Samaritan Society - Woodland runs 40 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its inspection record is the strongest part of the story: a five-star health inspection rating, with the last visit on February 11, 2026 and just three deficiencies on file. One of those three rose to the harm or jeopardy level, which is worth asking about directly, though none involved abuse. Where it gives ground is staffing. At 3.48 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 10 percent under the national average, and weekends drop about 14 percent below its own weekday coverage. Turnover, at 44.9 percent, lands right around the national figure. Ask how weekends are covered before you decide.

Benedictine Living Community of St. Peter runs a 79-bed nonprofit home where the nursing hours are the strongest part of the picture: 4.05 hours per resident per day, about 5% above the national average, with turnover at 42.9% that's actually a bit better than the typical 45.8%. The catch is consistency, weekend staffing drops roughly 12% below weekday levels. On inspections, the record shows 18 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in January 2026. Quality measure scores sit at 2 out of 5 stars, which is the weakest number here. Solid staffing, middling clinical outcomes, no serious safety findings.

The Villas At The Cedars runs 107 certified beds under corporate ownership in Saint Louis Park, and its staffing sits at 3.40 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 9% thinner than weekdays. Turnover at 39.3% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the problem here isn't retention so much as raw coverage. What drags the record down is the inspection side: 59 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse, with one $22,205 fine and a September 2024 inspection. The quality and staffing stars look fine on paper, but the health inspection star sits at 1 out of 5.

Saint Anne Extended Healthcare sits in Winona with 103 certified beds and a nonprofit owner, and its nurse staffing lands at 3.85 hours per resident day, essentially dead even with the national figure. Weekend coverage, though, drops about 13% below what the home staffs on weekdays, which is worth asking about if your family tends to visit or call on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover runs 47.7%, a bit above the 45.8% national rate. The inspection record shows 22 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus two fines totaling $22,757. No abuse citations appear. Its most recent inspection was in May 2026.

Martin Luther Care Center has a staffing story that looks strong on paper: 4.50 nurse hours per resident day, about 16% above the national average, with a 5/5 staffing star and turnover at 24% versus a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips roughly 8% below its own weekday level. The inspection record tells a different story, with 47 deficiencies on file, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus two fines totaling $20,625. Its last inspection was June 12, 2025. The company is for-profit. Good daily staffing doesn't cancel out a 1/5 health inspection rating.

Benedictine Health Center Innsbruck runs on 4.23 nurse hours per resident day, about 10% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 24% is roughly half the national figure. That stability shows up in the staffing numbers. What pulls the record down is inspection history: 41 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with a single fine of $15,646. Weekend staffing drops about 14% below weekday levels, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The most recent inspection was April 16, 2026. Strong caregiver retention paired with a troubled survey record is the tension here, worth asking about directly.
