Gables Of Boutwells Landing runs 4.65 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth more than the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage stays within about 5% of its weekday level, a gap that's often wider elsewhere. Staff turnover sits at 31%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether residents see the same faces. The trade-off shows up on the health inspection side: 11 deficiencies on the current record, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a mid-tier inspection rating. No abuse citations, and the last survey was June 2026, so the picture is current.

The Estates at Linden runs 3.47 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops about another 10 percent below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 51.3 percent against a national 45.8 percent, so the people around your relative change fairly often. Its inspection record shows 12 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. On the other hand, the last inspection was recent, January 2026, and the quality measure side of things holds up well. For-profit, LLC-owned, 51 beds in Stillwater. The staffing numbers and that abuse finding are what you'd want to ask about directly.

St. Therese of Woodbury runs on 56 beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.70 hours per resident day, roughly 22% above the national average of 3.86. That's the strongest number here, and it shows up in the five-star staffing rating. Turnover is 31.4%, well below the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. Weekends run about 12% leaner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits then. The tradeoff is a longer deficiency record: 21 citations, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy. None were abuse-related. Inspections are recent, and quality and health inspection ratings both land mid-range.

Norris Square in Cottage Grove runs on strong staffing, 4.47 nurse hours per resident day, about 16% above the national average, and a 40% turnover rate that's better than the 45.8% typical elsewhere. Weekends dip roughly 13% below weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The tradeoff shows up in care quality: a 2/5 on CMS quality measures and 13 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, against an otherwise solid 4/5 inspection rating from a recent December 2025 visit. Nonprofit ownership, 72 beds. Worth a tour, with specific questions about that harm deficiency and weekend staffing.

Good Samaritan Society - Stillwater runs a nonprofit shop with 50 beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.09 hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average. That's the strongest part of the picture, though weekend coverage drops about 12% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 51.2% against a national 45.8%, so the people delivering that care keep changing. The current record carries 28 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, with no abuse findings. The last inspection came in February 2026, so the state's look is recent. Quality measure scores land at 2 out of 5 stars, which is where the lower grade comes from, decent hands-on hours, weaker measured outcomes.

Birchwood Health Care Center runs 100 certified beds in Forest Lake as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing lands right at the national average of 3.86 hours per resident day. Weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday coverage, which is worth asking about if your family member needs care on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 37.7%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so caregivers tend to stick around longer than at many homes. The harder numbers are on the inspection side: 33 deficiencies on the current record, three at harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, plus $48,698 in fines across three penalties. The most recent inspection was April 2025.

Woodbury Health Care Center runs on a nonprofit model with 155 certified beds in Washington County, and its staffing looks solid on paper, 3.93 nurse hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, with only a 24.4% turnover rate compared to 45.8% nationally. But the inspection record tells a different story: 49 deficiencies, four of them at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse. Two fines totaling $182,683 sit on the books, and the most recent inspection was in July 2025. Weekend staffing also dips about 11% below weekday levels, which matters when residents need consistent care. Strong staffing numbers don't erase a troubling inspection history.

The Estates at Greeley runs 64 beds in Stillwater under for-profit partnership ownership, and its nursing hours come in around 14% under the national average, with weekends staffed roughly 12% lighter than weekdays. Turnover sits at 54.7% against a national 45.8%, meaning nearly six in ten caregivers left over the year. Its inspection record carries 22 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse. The most recent inspection was in August 2024. CMS rates the staffing 4 out of 5 but the quality measures just 2, and those two numbers don't tell the same story about what daily life looks like here.
