Nursing homes across Hennepin County, Minnesota, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Victory Health & Rehabilitation Center is a 79-bed for-profit home in Minneapolis, owned by a limited liability company. Its nurses provide 3.10 hours of care per resident per day, roughly 20% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 19% below the home's own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 40.7%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. The current record shows 23 deficiencies, including one abuse-related citation, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. The most recent inspection was January 15, 2026. Ownership, weekend coverage, and the inspection history are the things worth asking about directly before you visit.
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.
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.
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 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.
Andrew Residence runs on 1.95 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly half the national average, and the weekend gap is real: about 23% less coverage than weekdays. That staffing level earned a 1 out of 5 from CMS, and it's the clearest number on the page. The 19 deficiencies on record, including one at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with a 2 out of 5 inspection rating, tell you what the surveyors found when they looked. The 5 out of 5 quality measure score stands out against all that, but those measures are self-reported, and a 212-bed for-profit home with thin staffing has less margin to catch problems before they escalate.
The Estates at Excelsior runs on thin margins where it counts. Nurse staffing sits at 3.59 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 12% below what the home manages Monday through Friday, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover at 40% is actually a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, though it's still four in ten staff leaving each year.
What pulls the record down is the inspection side: 46 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, against a one-star health inspection rating. The last inspection was April 7, 2026.
Mission Nursing Home runs on 1.09 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter of what the average U.S. nursing home provides. The weekend gap is small, but the baseline itself is the problem. Turnover sits at 24 percent, well below the national 45.8 percent, so the staff who are there tend to stay, there just aren't many of them per resident. On the inspection side, the record shows 33 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with a $14,015 fine. Federal ratings put quality measures and health inspections at 2 out of 5, staffing at 1. The most recent inspection was May 2026.
The Villas at Osseo is a for-profit LLC home with 100 beds, and its inspection history is the part that should give you pause: 42 deficiencies on the current record, including 3 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse. Three fines totaling $48,399 back that up. Nurse staffing sits at 3.59 hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average, and weekends run about 11% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is 46.8%, slightly above the national 45.8%. The most recent inspection was June 12, 2025, so the record is current. Quality measures rate mid-range, staffing comparatively better, but the harm-level and abuse findings are what a family should weigh hardest.
Providence Place is a 190-bed nonprofit home in Minneapolis, and its staffing is genuinely above average, 3.90 nurse hours per resident day against a national 3.86, with a 4-out-of-5 staffing rating to match. What undercuts that is everything around it: turnover runs 78.5% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people delivering that care are new, and weekend staffing drops roughly 7% below the home's own weekday coverage. The inspection record shows 50 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, five tied to abuse, and $136,524 in fines across four penalties, with the most recent inspection dated May 2026.
Villas At Bryn Mawr runs on thin nursing coverage, 2.73 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest shifts come when oversight is lightest. The inspection record is the real concern: 61 deficiencies logged, six of them at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $51,980. Staff turnover sits at 29.2%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national average, so the problem isn't retention so much as how many hands are on deck and what inspectors keep finding.
Nurse staffing here runs about 24% above the national average, and turnover is lower than most homes, 34.7% against 45.8% nationwide. That matters, because consistent caregivers usually mean better daily care. But the inspection record tells a different story: 159 deficiencies, 12 of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, 8 tied to abuse. Eight fines total $174,044, and CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program, a status reserved for the most persistently troubled buildings. It was last inspected in June 2026. Good staffing can coexist with serious compliance problems. Ask to see the plan of correction and how the abuse-related findings were resolved.
Bywood East runs on thin staffing: 2.43 nurse hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 17% below its own weekday coverage. The inspection record is the bigger concern, 77 deficiencies on file, including 7 at the harm or jeopardy level and 13 tied to abuse, which is why CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the country's most persistently troubled homes. Its quality measure stars look good on paper, but those reflect resident assessments rather than the care environment itself, and a 1-star inspection rating with the most recent survey dated May 2026 tells you regulators keep finding problems. Turnover at 36.8% runs below the national figure, so the issue isn't retention, it's how few staff there are.
Southside Care Center is a 17-bed for-profit home in Minneapolis that Medicare has flagged for its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the homes with the most persistent compliance problems. The record backs that up: 62 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, alongside a one-star health inspection rating. Nurse staffing sits at 2.13 hours per resident day, roughly 45% under the national average, and weekends run about 7% thinner than weekdays. The quality measure rating looks better at four stars, but that's self-reported data, and it doesn't offset a staffing and inspection picture this thin.
