The Villas At Robbinsdale runs on thinner nurse staffing than most homes, 3.44 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday levels, so coverage is lightest exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover at 30.9% is better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. What pulls the record down is inspections: 40 deficiencies, two of them at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with $104,974 in fines and a one-star health inspection rating. The most recent inspection was April 2025.

Hillcrest runs 3.55 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average, and weekends drop about 11% below its own weekday staffing. That thinner weekend coverage matters because the record shows 41 deficiencies, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with a $17,345 fine and an inspection from June 2024. Turnover sits at 54.1% against a national 45.8%, so aides and nurses are cycling out faster than usual. The corporation that owns the 95-bed home is for-profit. Two out of five on inspections and two out of five on quality measures, with staffing the relative bright spot at three, describes a building where the clinical basics get done but the margin for error is narrow.

Good Samaritan Society - Pipestone runs 82 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its strongest number is staffing: 3.70 nurse hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average of 3.86. That's a modest gap, but weekends drop roughly 14% below the home's own weekday coverage, and turnover sits at 51.7% against a national 45.8%, so the people around residents keep changing. The current inspection record shows 14 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus a single fine of $17,345. Quality measures score 2 out of 5, which lines up with that record. A May 2025 inspection means the picture is recent, at least.

Meadows On Fairview runs 14 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, which usually means a tight operation where everyone knows everyone. The health inspection record is genuinely strong: five stars, three deficiencies on file, none rising to harm or jeopardy, no abuse citations, and a survey completed in June 2026. The weak spot is staffing. One star, with annual turnover at 56.3 percent against a national average of 45.8 percent. In a building that small, that much churn means the person helping your mother at dinner may be new this month and gone the next. The quality measure rating holds at four stars, so outcomes look decent on paper. Whether they hold up in practice depends on who's actually on the floor each shift.

Hopkins Restorative Care Center is a 65-bed for-profit home in Hennepin County, and the staffing numbers are the first thing I'd look at, a 1-star CMS staffing rating is about as low as that scale goes, meaning nurse hours per resident fall well short of what the federal government considers adequate. The inspection record shows 45 deficiencies on the current record, including 3 abuse-related citations, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level. The last inspection was in March 2026, so the record is recent. Quality measures land at 3 stars, which suggests some clinical care is being delivered, but with this few staff, I'd want to ask directly how they cover overnight shifts and weekends before making a decision.

The Emeralds At Faribault runs lean on nursing staff, 3.31 hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 8% below its own weekday coverage. Staff turnover sits at 63.8%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which matters because that's a lot of caregivers cycling through the building each year. The inspection record is where the real concern lives: 61 deficiencies, including 8 tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in May 2025. None were cited at the harm or jeopardy level, so this isn't a home where residents have been seriously injured in a documented incident, but the sheer volume and the abuse-related findings are worth asking about directly before you decide.

The Villas At The Park runs 3.16 nurse staffing hours per resident day, about 18% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 7% below its own weekday levels, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is a genuine bright spot at 36.6%, well under the 45.8% national figure, and the quality measure rating sits at 4/5. The inspection record is where this home gets tripped up: 29 deficiencies on file, two at harm or jeopardy level, two abuse-related, and 16 fines totaling $162,230. The most recent inspection was November 2025. A for-profit corporate owner, steady staff retention, and a long citation history coexist here, the staffing numbers and deficiency log are what deserve your scrutiny.

Parmly On The Lake runs 91 certified beds in Chisago City and staffs at 3.48 total nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average of 3.86. That shortfall gets worse on weekends, when coverage drops about 11% below its own weekday level, and 52% annual turnover means a lot of the aides and nurses your family meets will be new. The current inspection record carries 20 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus one fine of $8,193. The most recent inspection was September 19, 2024, so that record is fairly current. For-profit corporate ownership, and the quality measure star rating sits at 2 of 5.

The Estates at Greeley runs 64 beds in Stillwater under for-profit partnership ownership, and its nursing hours come in around 14% under the national average, with weekends staffed roughly 12% lighter than weekdays. Turnover sits at 54.7% against a national 45.8%, meaning nearly six in ten caregivers left over the year. Its inspection record carries 22 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse. The most recent inspection was in August 2024. CMS rates the staffing 4 out of 5 but the quality measures just 2, and those two numbers don't tell the same story about what daily life looks like here.

Sterling Park runs 40 beds in Waite Park under for-profit partnership ownership. The raw staffing number looks good, 4.19 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% above the national average, and CMS gives it 4 out of 5 stars on staffing. But the stability behind that number is shaky: annual turnover sits at 65.3% against a national average of 45.8%, and weekend hours drop roughly 14% below its own weekday coverage. On the health inspection side, 19 deficiencies are on record, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in August 2025. Quality measures land at 3 out of 5. Plenty of hands scheduled, in other words, fewer of them staying, and inspection problems that haven't gone away.

Thorne Crest, a nonprofit home with 52 beds in Albert Lea, has a record worth reading carefully. State inspectors cited 36 deficiencies, three of them at a level where residents were actually harmed or put in jeopardy, and two tied to abuse, with one fine totaling $43,082. Staffing sits at 3.76 nurse hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and the workforce is churning: 72.7% annual turnover against roughly 46% nationally, with weekends running about 9% leaner than weekdays. The bright spots are real, a 4-out-of-5 quality measure rating and 4 for staffing, but a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating, with citations including abuse, is the piece families should weigh heaviest.

Good Samaritan Society - Windom has the staff to do the work: 4.47 nurse hours per resident day, about 16 percent above the national average, and a 40.7 percent turnover rate that's better than the typical home. Those numbers earn a 4 out of 5 staffing rating. The trouble is what inspections keep finding. The current record shows 35 deficiencies, three of them abuse-related and one serious enough to put a resident in harm's way, plus a single $194,680 fine. CMS rates the inspection and quality domains just 1 out of 5 each, and the last full inspection was February 2026. Staffing can't offset a record like that, no matter how good the hours look.

River Valley Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 43 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.62 hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends get thinner still, running about 12% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage dips exactly when families tend to visit. The bigger number to sit with is turnover: 83.7% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for your relative are new to the building. Twenty-one deficiencies sit on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse. The last inspection was March 24, 2026, with a single fine of $14,069.

Glenwood Village Care Center runs a nonprofit home with 64 certified beds, and its nurses put in 4.17 hours per resident day, about 8 percent more than the national average. That sounds reassuring until you look at the weekend, where coverage drops roughly 10 percent below the home's own weekday level, and at turnover that hits 93.1 percent against a national figure near 46 percent. Nearly every aide and nurse you'd meet is relatively new. The current inspection record carries 32 deficiencies, including three serious enough to put residents in harm's way and two tied to abuse, with a $15,592 fine attached. The last full inspection was in May 2025. Stable, experienced hands are what make daily care reliable, and that's the piece missing here.

Mala Strana runs 69 certified beds under for-profit corporate ownership, and its inspection history is genuinely strong, a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating with the most recent survey completed in April 2026. The trouble sits elsewhere. Nurse staffing comes in at 3.79 hours per resident day, just under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 10% below what the home staffs on weekdays, which matters when aides are already stretched. Turnover is the number that should give you pause: 75.3% of staff leaving annually against a national average of 45.8%. Ten deficiencies sit on the current record, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse. Good surveys, thin staffing, heavy churn.

Oaklawn Care & Rehabilitation Center runs 60 certified beds in Mankato under corporate for-profit ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 3.79 hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 12% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 66.3% is well above the national 45.8%, meaning roughly two of every three caregivers leave each year. The current inspection record carries 20 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus six fines totaling $59,001. The most recent inspection was April 16, 2025, so it's fairly current.

Benedictine Living Community Mother of Mercy is a 76-bed nonprofit, church-affiliated home in Albany, and the staffing numbers are its clearest strength, 4.71 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22% above the national average, which is why CMS gives it four stars on staffing. Weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday levels, so coverage is thinner then. The trouble sits elsewhere. Twenty-nine deficiencies on the current record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a $69,449 fine, pull the health inspection rating to two stars, and quality measures land at two as well. Staff turnover runs 50%, above the 45.8% national figure. The last inspection was February 26, 2026.

The Gardens at Winsted is a 70-bed for-profit home where nurse staffing runs about 13% under the national average, roughly 3.36 hours per resident day against 3.86. Weekends are thinner still, about 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover sits at 55.6% versus 45.8% nationally, so the people providing care are changing often. The inspection record shows 41 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two abuse-related, with an $8,021 fine and a May 2025 visit. Two-star inspection and quality ratings round that out. Families should ask directly about weekend coverage and how abuse allegations were resolved.

Cura Of Long Prairie is a 60-bed nonprofit in Todd County, and its inspection record is the strongest thing it has going. Seven deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with a survey done as recently as June 2026. Nurse staffing runs 4.75 hours per resident day, about 23 percent above the national average, though weekends drop roughly 6 percent below the home's own weekday level. The softer spots are the quality measure star rating, which sits at 2 out of 5, and a staffing star rating of 3 despite those total hours, worth asking about, since hours don't always land where residents feel them.

Cura Of Sauk Centre runs 60 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.44 hours per resident day, roughly 15% above the national average. That sounds good on paper, but the number hides a problem: weekends run about 16% thinner than weekdays, so coverage depends heavily on when you visit or call. The bigger issue is turnover. Every direct-care position effectively turned over in the past year, versus about 46% nationally, which means your family member's aides are likely new and still learning the building. Thirteen deficiencies sit on the current record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and the most recent inspection was in March 2026. Quality measures scored 2 out of 5.
