Nurse hours

Staff turnover
45%
Serious cites
0

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.

Edenbrook Of Rochester is a for-profit, 81-bed home where the numbers point in two directions at once. Nurse staffing runs 3.75 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 12% below its own weekday coverage, a gap families should ask about directly. The inspection record carries 34 deficiencies, three of them at the harm or jeopardy level, with $53,260 in fines across three penalties, and its most recent inspection was February 2026. Staff turnover at 42.6% is slightly better than the national 45.8%, and its quality measure rating is strong. The trade-off is real: decent measures and steadier retention, but thin weekend coverage and a serious inspection history.

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.

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.

St. Gertrudes runs a leaner ship than most on the staffing side, 4.16 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, and its 34.2% turnover is well below the 45.8% norm, which matters for consistency of care. Weekends dip about 7% below weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on the floor. The trouble sits elsewhere: 32 deficiencies on record, 2 at harm or jeopardy level, 4 tied to abuse, and $29,260 in fines. A January 2026 inspection is recent, but two stars each on health inspections and quality measures tells you the clinical record hasn't kept pace with the staffing.

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.

The Estates at Roseville runs 140 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its last health inspection was in May 2025. That inspection record carries 27 deficiencies, none flagged at the harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related, worth asking about directly. Nurse staffing sits at 3.57 hours per resident day, roughly 8 percent under the national figure, and weekends run about 4 percent thinner than weekdays. Staff turnover is 35.6 percent, below the 45.8 percent national average, which suggests people tend to stay. So you have solid quality and staffing ratings sitting alongside a middling inspection history and a fairly long deficiency list.

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.

The Villas At St Paul runs about 3.21 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops another 10% below its own weekday level. That's a for-profit partnership operating 105 certified beds, with staff turnover at 48.1%, a bit above the 45.8% national figure. Inspectors were last in on April 3, 2025, and the home carries 36 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related. Its last inspection is recent, which counts for something, and the staffing star rating holds at 4/5 despite the below-average total hours. So the picture is mixed: adequate on paper in some categories, thinner on direct care hours and weekend consistency than the numbers first suggest.

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.

Edenbrook Of St Cloud runs 77 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.90 hours per resident day, barely above the national average of 3.86. That thin margin matters more when you look at weekends, which run about 13% below the home's own weekday level. Staff turnover is 46.9%, a touch worse than the 45.8% national figure. The current inspection record shows 33 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none are abuse-related. The last full inspection was June 26, 2025, so the picture is reasonably current. State surveyors rated health inspections and quality measures each 3 out of 5.

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.

Regina Senior Living runs 57 beds in Hastings as a nonprofit, and the numbers point in two directions at once. Nurse staffing averages 3.44 hours per resident day, about 11% under the national figure, and weekends drop roughly 13% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 43.4%, a touch better than the 45.8% national average, but the inspection record is where the real concern lives: 30 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a $15,919 fine. The last inspection was February 26, 2026, so that record is current, not stale.

The Gardens at Foley runs a 78-bed for-profit home in Benton County, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing. At 3.62 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 6% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 14% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit and when fewer eyes are on residents. Annual turnover of 56.4% is well above the 45.8% national figure, which usually means caregivers cycle through faster than they can learn the building and its residents. The inspection record shows 26 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with a single fine of $8,824 and a September 2025 survey.

Ebenezer Ridges runs a nonprofit shop in Burnsville with 114 certified beds and a clear staffing advantage, 5.17 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, about a third more hands-on time. Weekends dip roughly 9% below weekday coverage, which matters if your visits land on a Saturday. Inspections earn four of five stars and the most recent look came in January 2026, so the record is current. What tempers the picture: 17 deficiencies on file, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, none tied to abuse. Quality measures score two of five stars, suggesting the clinical outcomes don't fully match the staffing investment. Worth asking about that harm-level finding specifically.

Cura Of Sandstone runs a genuine staffing advantage: 5.18 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and that holds up on weekends, which land about 13% below the home's own weekday level rather than falling off a cliff. The care side is where it gets harder to defend. Twenty-six deficiencies sit on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with a $17,345 fine attached. Quality measures score 1 out of 5, and the last inspection was April 2026, recent enough to be current, not stale. Plenty of hands on deck, but a record that says the hands alone haven't been enough.

The Villas At Brookview runs 104 beds in Golden Valley under corporate ownership, and its inspection record is the thing to look at first: 36 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm-or-jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. That is a lot of citations, and the single star CMS gives its health inspections reflects it, the last full inspection was April 16, 2026. Staffing sits at 3.50 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average, and weekends run about 12% thinner than weekdays. Turnover of 38.3% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the issue here isn't retention, it's how many hours each resident gets.

Cura Of Paynesville runs 51 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the nursing hours tell a decent story: 4.49 per resident day, roughly 16% above the national average of 3.86. Weekends thin out by about 14% against its own weekdays, though, and turnover sits at 56.9%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the care you see depends heavily on who's still there. Six deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a recent April 2026 inspection. Staffing and health inspection each earn 4 of 5 stars; quality measures come in at just 2.

Benedictine Health Center of Minneapolis runs on a strong staffing core: 4.98 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 29% above the national average, with turnover at 25.6% against a national 45.8%. That's a workforce that stays put. The trouble is everything around it. Two-star health inspections, 31 deficiencies on the current record, two at harm or jeopardy level and three abuse-related, plus an $84,774 fine. Weekend staffing also drops about 10% below its own weekday level. With a last inspection date of April 2026, the record is recent enough to take seriously. The people providing care here appear stable; the compliance and oversight record is where the risk sits.

Good Samaritan Society Inver Grove Heights runs 46 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.95 hours per resident day, slightly above the national average. That edge narrows on weekends, when coverage drops about 13% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover of 52.6% runs well past the national 45.8%, so residents see a lot of new faces. The inspection record is the harder part: 40 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. The last inspection was February 2026, so that record is current. Above-average staffing is real, but it's carrying a facility with a thin quality measure rating and a serious citation history.
