The Estates at Twin Rivers runs 50 certified beds in Anoka under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits about 10% under the national average at 3.48 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends dip roughly 11% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is essentially average at 45.5%. The real trouble is the inspection record: 38 deficiencies currently on file, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, from a survey completed May 23, 2025, a one-star health inspection rating against a two-star quality measure score. Staffing hours look better than that, but they don't erase what inspectors found.

La Crescent Health Services sits at exactly the national average for nurse staffing, 3.86 hours per resident day, which sounds fine until you notice the weekend dip. Coverage drops about 13% below its own weekday level, so the hours your family member gets on a Saturday look different from a Tuesday. Turnover runs 48.4% against a national 45.8%, meaning nearly half the staff left within a year. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 32 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with a one-star health inspection rating. That's a lot of documented problems for a 42-bed building, and it's why the overall picture lands where it does despite decent staffing numbers.

Prairie View Senior Living runs about 3.19 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop another 12% below its own weekday staffing, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The 50% annual turnover is higher than the 45.8% national figure, meaning roughly half the nursing staff changes over in a year. Inspections from May 2026 turned up 23 deficiencies, none at the harm level, though two involve abuse. All three CMS star ratings sit at 3 out of 5. For-profit individual ownership. This is a home with real gaps in staffing depth, not a record of serious harm.

St Crispin runs a 64-bed nonprofit home in Red Wing, and its staffing numbers tell a mixed story. A 3.76-hour-per-resident-day total sits just under the national average, weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekdays, yet annual turnover of 38.6% beats the national 45.8%, meaning the people who are there tend to stay. The trouble is the inspection record: 18 deficiencies, two of them at harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, plus a single $138,989 fine. A March 2026 inspection and a 4/5 quality measure score show some care strengths, but that harm-level and abuse history is what pulls the overall picture down.

Aitkin Health Services runs 42 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.21 hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average of 3.86. That's the strongest part of the picture, though weekend coverage drops about 10% below its own weekday level. The harder facts: 27 deficiencies on the current record, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 abuse-related, plus one fine of $8,824. Staff turnover is 48.8%, above the 45.8% national average. The last inspection was May 2025, so the record is recent, not stale. Low quality-measure scores and that deficiency count are what pull the overall picture down despite good weekday staffing.

The Villas At New Brighton runs a for-profit operation with 99 certified beds, and the staffing picture is mixed. Nurses provide 3.64 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops roughly 10% below weekday levels. Staff turnover of 36.5% actually beats the national 45.8%, so retention isn't the problem. The inspection record is. CMS rated health inspections 1 out of 5, with 61 deficiencies on file, including 6 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse. Fines total $202,827 across 22 penalties, and the most recent inspection was April 23, 2026. A 4/5 staffing star doesn't offset that inspection history, the problems are documented, recent, and serious.

North Ridge in New Hope runs 320 beds under corporate ownership, and its numbers pull in two directions. Nurse staffing sits at 4.23 hours per resident day, about 10 percent above the national average, and turnover of 27.5 percent is well below the 45.8 percent national figure, both genuinely good signs. But the inspection record is where this home struggles: 65 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus a $25,480 fine. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of serious problems. Weekends also run about 11 percent thinner than weekdays, so coverage isn't uniform.

Emmanuel Nursing Home runs 4.57 nurse hours per resident day, about 18% above the national average, and that staffing shows up in a five-star CMS staffing rating, genuinely hard to earn. The catch is consistency: weekends run roughly 14% lighter than weekdays, so the coverage your family sees on a Tuesday isn't what's there on a Sunday. Turnover sits at 48.7%, a bit above the national 45.8%, meaning familiar faces cycle out faster than average. The inspection record is the bigger concern, 20 deficiencies on file, including two at the harm level and one tied to abuse, plus an $82,840 fine. The most recent inspection was February 2026, so the record is current.

Fair Oaks Lodge runs a 65-bed for-profit operation in Wadena, and the numbers pull in different directions. Nurse staffing sits at 4.44 hours per resident day, about 15% above the national average, and that shows up in a 4-out-of-5 staffing rating, but weekends run roughly 11% thinner than weekdays, so coverage isn't even across the week. Turnover is 52.5%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which matters for how well anyone knows your family member. The inspection record is the harder read: 52 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with a $10,062 fine and a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating. Quality measures also land at 2 out of 5.

The Estates at Delano runs 3.35 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13 percent under the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 14 percent below its own weekday level. That thin staffing shows up in the federal staffing rating, which sits at 2 out of 5 even as inspections and quality measures both score 4. The record carries 19 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, plus a single $11,928 fine. The most recent inspection was in November 2025. This is a for-profit limited liability company with 39 beds, and the gap between how it looks on paper and how it's actually staffed is worth asking about directly.

Woodbury Health Care Center runs on a nonprofit model with 155 certified beds in Washington County, and its staffing looks solid on paper, 3.93 nurse hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, with only a 24.4% turnover rate compared to 45.8% nationally. But the inspection record tells a different story: 49 deficiencies, four of them at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse. Two fines totaling $182,683 sit on the books, and the most recent inspection was in July 2025. Weekend staffing also dips about 11% below weekday levels, which matters when residents need consistent care. Strong staffing numbers don't erase a troubling inspection history.

Viewcrest runs lean on the floor: 3.44 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 9% below its own weekday pace. Annual turnover sits at 52.3%, well above the 45.8% norm, which matters because it means the staff you meet in month one may not be there in month six. The inspection record is mixed, a recent survey in August 2025 and no abuse findings, but 24 deficiencies with three at harm or jeopardy level, plus four fines totaling $51,441. Church-affiliated nonprofit ownership doesn't change the arithmetic: fewer hands per resident, a thinner weekend crew, and a turnover rate that outpaces the country.

Good Samaritan Society - Pine River runs 33 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its last health inspection came back in March 2026 with eight deficiencies on record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. Nurse staffing sits at 3.51 hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average, and weekends drop about 15% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 44.1%, close to the national 45.8%, so retention isn't the problem here. The inspection and staffing ratings both come in at 4 out of 5; the quality measure rating is 2. That split is the story, steady hands, weaker clinical outcomes.

Rochester Rehabilitation And Living Center has real staffing depth, 5.09 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average. That's the strongest thing in its file. But 73.5% of staff left over the past year, well above the 45.8% national rate, and weekend coverage drops about 10% below its own weekday levels. The inspection record is where it gets serious: 35 deficiencies, including 5 at the harm or jeopardy level and 2 tied to abuse. CMS placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program, which it reserves for the country's most persistently troubled nursing homes. Its last inspection was in April 2025. Good ratios don't fix a record like that on their own.

Cura Of Onamia runs about 3.57 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average, and weekends drop another 17% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The current inspection record carries 16 deficiencies, none flagged at harm or jeopardy level, but two tied to abuse, and the last full inspection was in April 2026. This is a nonprofit corporation, though ownership changed within the past year, which is worth asking about directly. With 57 beds, it's small enough that you can get real answers from the administrator about who's on overnight and how the weekend numbers actually look.

Good Samaritan Society's Waconia home runs on a paradox: nurses give more hours per resident than the national average, 4.02 versus 3.86, yet the same staff is spread thinner on weekends, dipping 11% below weekday coverage. The bigger worry is who's giving the care. Annual turnover hits 51.9%, well past the 45.8% norm, meaning most of the faces in this building change within a year. On paper, the health inspection and quality ratings both sit at 2 out of 5, with 46 deficiencies on record, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 7 tied to abuse. The last inspection was March 26, 2026, so the picture is current, not stale. Nonprofit ownership doesn't offset any of that.

Thief River Care Center runs a nonprofit shop with 70 beds, and the staffing story is mixed. Nurses provide 3.71 hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 9% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 40.9%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some stability in the workforce despite the thin hours. The inspection record is where things get serious: 29 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level, five tied to abuse, and four fines totaling $219,217, with the most recent inspection dated April 2026. That combination of harm-level findings and repeat penalties is what drags the grade down, not the staffing numbers.

Franciscan Health Center in Duluth runs on thin margins where it counts. Nurse staffing sits at 3.80 hours per resident day, just under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 14% below what the home manages Monday through Friday, a gap families often feel on Saturday and Sunday shifts. The 46.2% turnover rate tracks almost exactly with the national figure, so continuity of caregivers isn't unusually bad here, just typical. What stands out is the inspection record: 41 deficiencies, including six tied to abuse, though none reached the harm or jeopardy level. The most recent inspection was in late February 2026, so the picture is current. Quality measures score poorly even as staffing scores well, worth asking about directly.

Good Samaritan Society - Blackduck runs a small 30-bed nonprofit home where the nursing hours look solid on paper, 4.01 per resident day, a bit above the national average, but weekends run about 7% thinner than weekdays, so coverage isn't perfectly even. The bigger concern is staff turnover at 53.7%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which matters for how well residents know their caregivers. Inspections in August 2025 turned up 22 deficiencies, including one tied to abuse, though none reached actual harm or jeopardy. Quality measures score poorly here even as staffing scores well, a split worth asking about directly.

The Estates at St Louis Park runs a nonprofit shop with 145 beds, and its staff tends to stick around, turnover of 25.5% is well under the national 45.8%. That stability is real, and so is the fact that weekend coverage dips about 8% below weekday levels. But 47 deficiencies on the current record, including three at the harm level and three tied to abuse, along with $107,139 in fines, suggest the day-to-day care has problems that steady staffing hasn't solved. The state inspected most recently in August 2025, and the issues it found landed in the middle of CMS's range on both health inspections and quality measures. Families weighing this one should ask directly how the home is addressing those harm and abuse findings.
