Nursing homes across Goodhue County, Minnesota, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Zumbrota Care Center runs 42 beds as a nonprofit, and its staffing numbers tell a mixed story. Nurses provide 3.66 hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops roughly 15% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Turnover sits at 40.5%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, and CMS gives the home five stars for staffing. The trouble is inspections: 24 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a $28,321 fine. The most recent inspection was August 2025, and CMS rates that side of things two stars out of five.
St Crispin runs a 64-bed nonprofit home in Red Wing, and its staffing numbers tell a mixed story. A 3.76-hour-per-resident-day total sits just under the national average, weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekdays, yet annual turnover of 38.6% beats the national 45.8%, meaning the people who are there tend to stay. The trouble is the inspection record: 18 deficiencies, two of them at harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, plus a single $138,989 fine. A March 2026 inspection and a 4/5 quality measure score show some care strengths, but that harm-level and abuse history is what pulls the overall picture down.
Edenbrook Pine Haven runs 70 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its last health inspection was recent, August 2025, so the record you're seeing is current, not stale. What that record shows is a staffing problem: 73.6% annual turnover against a national average of 45.8%, and CMS gives the home just one star for staffing. Inspection history carries 28 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a $14,898 fine. Quality measures sit at two stars, inspections at three. High turnover at a home this size usually means caregivers are constantly new, which matters more than any single rating when you're deciding who'll actually be at the bedside.
Nurse staffing at Mayo Clinic Health System - Lake City runs 4.70 hours per resident day, about 22% above the national average, and CMS gives it 5 stars for staffing. Weekends dip roughly 9% below its own weekday levels, and turnover sits at 44.4%, essentially the national rate. The trouble is inspections: 22 deficiencies on the current record, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 abuse-related, with two fines totaling $145,117. Its most recent inspection was July 31, 2025. Strong hands-on care and a 4-star quality measure score are real, but a 2-star inspection rating and that deficiency history are what hold this home back.
