Heritage Living Center is county-owned and holds 48 beds in Park Rapids, and the numbers behind its grade are mostly steady. Nurse staffing sits at 3.87 hours per resident day, essentially level with the national average, though weekends run about 9% thinner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family member needs care on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is stronger than average, with a recent visit in August 2025 and nine deficiencies, but two of those stand out: one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related. Staff turnover of 48.9% edges past the national 45.8%, so expect some churn among caregivers.

Walker Methodist Westwood Ridge II runs a high-staffing operation: 5.32 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 38% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real cushion, though weekend coverage drops about 18% below its own weekday level, so the weekday numbers overstate what a Saturday looks like. The inspection record is where it gets harder to read. Thirty deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, with a $15,646 fine and a 2-star health inspection rating, the most recent survey was April 2026. A nonprofit with strong weekday staffing but a documented history of serious findings. --- **A note on the last inspection date:** You gave April 15, 2026, which is in the future relative to now. I used it as written since I can't invent a different date, but if that was meant to be 2025, swap it, the rest of the piece doesn't change. Worth double-checking before this goes live.

The Villas At Roseville runs about 3.29 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 10% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 41%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. What stands out on the record is the inspection side: 19 deficiencies, two of them at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus two fines totaling $24,791. Ownership is for-profit, through a limited liability company. With a last inspection date of April 2026, the numbers suggest asking specifically about weekend coverage and how the abuse-related finding was resolved.

Norris Square in Cottage Grove runs on strong staffing, 4.47 nurse hours per resident day, about 16% above the national average, and a 40% turnover rate that's better than the 45.8% typical elsewhere. Weekends dip roughly 13% below weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The tradeoff shows up in care quality: a 2/5 on CMS quality measures and 13 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, against an otherwise solid 4/5 inspection rating from a recent December 2025 visit. Nonprofit ownership, 72 beds. Worth a tour, with specific questions about that harm deficiency and weekend staffing.

Southview Acres runs on 4.27 nurse hours per resident day, about 11% above the national average, and its staffing and quality measure ratings both come in at 4 out of 5, so the day-to-day care numbers look solid. The problem sits in the inspection record: 43 deficiencies, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus a $41,555 fine. Weekend staffing drops roughly 11% below weekday levels, which matters if your family visits or needs help on Saturdays and Sundays. For-profit corporate ownership, 210 beds, and a 2 out of 5 inspection rating mean the compliance side has been the weak spot, even while staffing holds up.

Good Samaritan Society - Stillwater runs a nonprofit shop with 50 beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.09 hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average. That's the strongest part of the picture, though weekend coverage drops about 12% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 51.2% against a national 45.8%, so the people delivering that care keep changing. The current record carries 28 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, with no abuse findings. The last inspection came in February 2026, so the state's look is recent. Quality measure scores land at 2 out of 5 stars, which is where the lower grade comes from, decent hands-on hours, weaker measured outcomes.

The Estates at Chateau has a staffing paradox worth understanding. Its CMS staffing star is 5/5, yet the actual hours, 3.09 per resident day, sit about 20% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run roughly 11% thinner than weekdays. Turnover at 36.7% is better than the 45.8% national figure, so leadership is retaining workers. The problem is the inspection record: 50 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level, six tied to abuse, and a $35,565 fine. A single star on health inspections against three on quality measures tells you the care processes look adequate on paper while the survey history says otherwise.

Sleepy Eye Rehabilitation Center runs 61 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and its recent inspection history is the strongest thing it has going. The last survey was in January 2026 and turned up 17 deficiencies, but only one at the harm or jeopardy level and none related to abuse, a record that supports its 4-star health inspection rating. Staffing sits right at the national average, 3.88 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86, though weekends drop about 12% below the home's own weekday level. The number worth pausing on is turnover: 56.4% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. That churn is what keeps this home a step short of the top tier, despite solid inspections.

Heartwood runs a tight ship on the staffing side, 4.30 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average, and that shows in a five-star staffing rating. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops about 12% below what the home provides on weekdays. Turnover sits at 46.3%, essentially matching the national rate, so continuity is neither a strength nor a glaring weakness here. Seven deficiencies on record, none involving harm, jeopardy, or abuse, and the most recent inspection was July 2025. Where the home gives ground is quality measures, at two stars, which drags an otherwise solid picture down to a B.

Avera Sunrise Manor runs on 4.25 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10 percent more than the national average, and it shows in a four-star staffing rating. Turnover sits at 43.9 percent, a hair better than the national 45.8 percent, though weekend coverage drops about 12 percent below weekday levels. The catch is quality: a one-star rating on CMS quality measures, and 14 deficiencies on the current record, including two tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy. A recent April 2025 inspection and four-star health inspection rating help. Church-affiliated nonprofit ownership is a steadying factor. Families should ask what the quality measure gap reflects and how weekend staffing is managed.

Ecumen North Branch runs a nonprofit home of 50 beds in Chisago County, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.51 hours per resident day, roughly 17% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real margin in a field where aides and nurses are the whole job. The catch is turnover: 62.7% of staff leave each year, well above the 45.8% national figure, and weekend coverage drops about 11% below the home's own weekday level. Its last inspection was July 2025, with 14 deficiencies on record, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, and mid-range three-star marks for health inspections and quality measures.

Lakeshore Rehabilitation Center runs 52 certified beds in Waseca under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.32 hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 9% thinner than weekdays, so coverage is lightest exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover of 46.3% is essentially at the national average, meaning the workforce churns as much as anywhere else. On the plus side, the current record shows 13 deficiencies with none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in March 2025.

The Estates at Lynnhurst is a for-profit home in Saint Paul with 70 certified beds, and its staffing numbers deserve a close look. Total nurse coverage runs 3.01 hours per resident day, roughly 22 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 11 percent below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Annual turnover sits at 52.9 percent against a national 45.8 percent, meaning more than half the nursing staff turns over each year. The current inspection record carries 43 deficiencies, including three tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. The most recent inspection was in April 2025.

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.

North Shore Estates runs lean on nurse hours, about 3.15 per resident day against a national average near 3.86, and weekends get thinner still, roughly 10% below its own weekday coverage. What keeps the place from looking worse on paper is retention: 32.1% turnover beats the 45.8% national figure by a wide margin, so the aides and nurses you'd meet have likely been there a while. The trade-off shows up in the inspection record: 24 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, though none rose to actual harm or jeopardy, and the last state visit was in February 2026. Quality measures land middling, which fits a home that's stable but stretched.

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.

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.

The Villas At St Louis Park runs 100 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.44 hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 8% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Turnover is 36.1%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, and the staffing star rating reflects that relative stability. The inspection record is where things get harder to defend: 50 deficiencies on the current record, including two at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus $26,153 in fines across two penalties. The most recent inspection was February 13, 2026. A 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating against a 4-out-of-5 staffing rating tells you the care capacity exists but the compliance record doesn't match it.

Friendship Village of Bloomington runs a nonprofit home with 66 certified beds, and its staffing is the standout: 4.16 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, with a 5-star CMS staffing rating. Turnover sits at 35.2%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The concerns are on the inspection side. There are 23 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, plus a single $99,500 fine. The most recent inspection was May 2026, so it's recent. Strong staffing and low turnover are real strengths; the deficiency record is the reason this one doesn't grade higher.
