Nursing homes across Houston County, Minnesota, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Valley View runs a tight ship on staffing: 4.20 nurse hours per resident day, about 9% above the national average, and turnover sits at 19.1% when the typical home loses nearly 46% of its staff each year. That kind of retention matters, because residents see the same faces instead of a rotating cast. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops roughly 12% below the home's own weekday level. Inspections land in the middle, a 2025 visit, one harm-level deficiency among 10 total, no abuse findings, and a single $26,685 fine. Nonprofit ownership and 40 beds suggest a smaller operation. The weak spot isn't care quality on paper; it's whether the weekend shift erodes what the weekday numbers promise.
La Crescent Health Services sits at exactly the national average for nurse staffing, 3.86 hours per resident day, which sounds fine until you notice the weekend dip. Coverage drops about 13% below its own weekday level, so the hours your family member gets on a Saturday look different from a Tuesday. Turnover runs 48.4% against a national 45.8%, meaning nearly half the staff left within a year. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 32 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with a one-star health inspection rating. That's a lot of documented problems for a 42-bed building, and it's why the overall picture lands where it does despite decent staffing numbers.
Tweeten Lutheran runs about 0.95 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter of the national average, and weekend coverage drops another 20% below its own weekday level. Annual turnover sits at 81%, well above the 45.8% norm, and its current inspection record carries 34 deficiencies, including 4 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse. The most recent inspection was in April 2026.
