Our read on Lb Broen Home

Lb Broen Home in Fergus Falls runs 74 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.89 hours per resident day, just a hair above the 3.86 national average. That thin margin is worth noting, especially since weekend coverage drops about 7% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Its inspection record is the strong point: a 4-out-of-5 star rating with 10 total deficiencies and none at the harm or jeopardy level. But two of those deficiencies are abuse-related, and the quality measure score is only 2 out of 5, which suggests the clinical outcomes data isn't keeping pace with how the building looks on inspection day.
