Auburn Manor runs a tight ship on staffing: 3.82 nurse hours per resident day sits just under the national average, and its 41.8% turnover beats the typical 45.8%. But inspections tell a different story, 29 deficiencies on the current record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and a two-star health inspection rating despite the five-star staffing score. The last full inspection was April 30, 2026, so the record is recent, not stale. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below weekday levels, which matters if your family visits or needs care on Saturdays and Sundays. This nonprofit's strong direct-care numbers don't cancel out a documented pattern of regulatory problems.

Good Samaritan Society's Waconia home runs on a paradox: nurses give more hours per resident than the national average, 4.02 versus 3.86, yet the same staff is spread thinner on weekends, dipping 11% below weekday coverage. The bigger worry is who's giving the care. Annual turnover hits 51.9%, well past the 45.8% norm, meaning most of the faces in this building change within a year. On paper, the health inspection and quality ratings both sit at 2 out of 5, with 46 deficiencies on record, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 7 tied to abuse. The last inspection was March 26, 2026, so the picture is current, not stale. Nonprofit ownership doesn't offset any of that.

Auburn Home In Waconia is a 37-bed nonprofit in Carver County, and the numbers worth knowing sit mostly on the inspection side. Its record carries 35 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus a $10,361 fine, enough that CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of serious problems. Staffing hours come in just under the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 14% below its own weekday level, which matters in a building this small. Annual turnover of 61.7% is well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people providing care keep changing. The most recent inspection was April 2, 2025.
