Lakewood Health System in Staples runs on 4.41 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14% more than the national average, and its staff turnover of 34.3% is well below the 45.8% national figure, people tend to stay here. The tradeoffs show up in two places: weekend staffing dips about 12% below weekday levels, and the current record carries 8 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related. A February 2026 inspection is recent, so the picture is current rather than stale, and the nonprofit ownership removes some of the pressure that drives short-staffing elsewhere. Strong on paper, with a couple of specific things worth asking about directly.

Central Todd County Care Center runs on unusually deep staffing for a 45-bed nonprofit home, 4.56 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18% above the national figure, and its staff turnover of 32.8% sits well under the 45.8% national average, which matters for whether your parent sees the same faces each week. The trade-offs show up elsewhere: weekend coverage drops about 13% below weekday levels, and the five deficiencies on record include one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, even though the last inspection was recent. Quality measures score 2 out of 5, so ask specifically how they're addressing those before you decide.

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.
