Our read on Warroad Care Center

Warroad Care Center runs on a paradox: 5.00 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 29% above the national average, and a 4-out-of-5 staffing star to match. That's genuinely hard to find in a 49-bed rural home. The problem is everything else. Fifty deficiencies sit on the current record, including five at harm or jeopardy level and eleven tied to abuse, and CMS has levied seven fines totaling $280,774. Weekend staffing drops about 13% below the home's own weekday level, so the strong average doesn't hold every day. A 1-out-of-5 inspection rating with a December 2025 survey means the state has been watching closely. Good hours alone haven't kept residents safe here.
