Little Falls Care Center runs a nonprofit home with 64 certified beds, and its staffing numbers tell a mixed story. Nurses provide 3.61 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops roughly 7% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Annual turnover sits at 52.6%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so aides and nurses are cycling through regularly. The inspection record is the harder part: 41 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, from an April 2024 visit. Quality measures land mid-range, and the staffing star rating looks better than the day-to-day consistency suggests.

Edenbrook Of St Cloud runs 77 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.90 hours per resident day, barely above the national average of 3.86. That thin margin matters more when you look at weekends, which run about 13% below the home's own weekday level. Staff turnover is 46.9%, a touch worse than the 45.8% national figure. The current inspection record shows 33 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none are abuse-related. The last full inspection was June 26, 2025, so the picture is reasonably current. State surveyors rated health inspections and quality measures each 3 out of 5.

Minnewaska Community Health Services runs on unusually heavy nurse staffing, 7.14 hours per resident day against a national average near 3.86, and that shows up in its four-star staffing rating. The catch is who's providing it: turnover sits at 61.5%, well above the 45.8% norm, and weekend coverage dips about 9% below weekday levels, so the hours aren't always delivered by familiar faces. On inspections, the record is thinner: 18 deficiencies, two serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, and roughly $25,000 in fines. The last survey came in April 2026. This church-affiliated nonprofit has real direct-care muscle, but consistency and regulatory follow-through are where it wobbles.

Serious cites

Fair Meadow in Fertile runs a nonprofit home where the nurse staffing works out to 5.24 hours per resident each day, roughly a third more than the national average, though weekends drop about 22% below what the home covers during the week, so the coverage families see on a Saturday may not match a Tuesday. Inspectors were last in on September 10, 2025, and the health inspection rating came back strong, but the record still carries 14 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, none serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level. The quality measure rating is the weak spot at 2 out of 5, which sits oddly against the generous staffing. Worth asking the director directly about those three abuse citations and how the home staffs weekends.

Jourdain Perpich Extended Care in Redlake runs 47 beds as a nonprofit, and its inspection record is genuinely clean, two deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, nothing abuse-related, with a survey completed in January 2026. Where it falls short is staffing, which CMS rates in the bottom tier. That single weak spot matters more than the perfect marks on inspections and quality measures, because aides and nurses are who actually deliver the care those scores describe. A small facility can only stretch so far, and the numbers say this one is stretched. If you're considering it, ask specifically how many CNAs are on the floor on evenings and weekends.

Aftenro Home runs lean on nurse staffing at 3.52 hours per resident day, about 9% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 17% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record is heavy: 24 deficiencies, though none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated March 19, 2026. That one-star health inspection and one-star quality measure rating sit alongside a five-star staffing rating, which looks contradictory until you notice turnover at 26.4%, well below the 45.8% national average. Stable, experienced caregivers are a real strength; the state surveyor findings are the concern worth asking about directly.

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.

Regina Senior Living runs 57 beds in Hastings as a nonprofit, and the numbers point in two directions at once. Nurse staffing averages 3.44 hours per resident day, about 11% under the national figure, and weekends drop roughly 13% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 43.4%, a touch better than the 45.8% national average, but the inspection record is where the real concern lives: 30 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a $15,919 fine. The last inspection was February 26, 2026, so that record is current, not stale.

St. Anthony Health & Rehabilitation runs on a for-profit partnership model with 110 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.73 hours per resident day, roughly 3% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, so families should ask how that gap gets filled. Turnover lands at 42.6%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The current inspection record carries 28 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related, plus one fine of $10,203. The most recent inspection was April 10, 2025.

The Gardens at Foley runs a 78-bed for-profit home in Benton County, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing. At 3.62 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 6% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 14% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit and when fewer eyes are on residents. Annual turnover of 56.4% is well above the 45.8% national figure, which usually means caregivers cycle through faster than they can learn the building and its residents. The inspection record shows 26 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with a single fine of $8,824 and a September 2025 survey.

Havenwood Care Center sits in Bemidji with 65 certified beds, run by a for-profit corporation, and its numbers pull in two directions. Nurse staffing runs 4.35 hours per resident day, about 13% above the national average, and turnover at 36.6% is better than the 45.8% national figure, real strengths. But the inspection record is where the story turns: 49 deficiencies on file, four of them at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse, and four fines totaling $137,245. Weekend staffing also dips about 8% below weekday levels. The quality and staffing stars look strong; the health inspection star does not, and that gap is what families should sit with.

Sacred Heart runs plenty of nursing hours, 5.64 per resident day, roughly 46% above the national average, and that shows up in a 4-star staffing rating. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops about 15% below what the home staffs on weekdays. On the clinical side, the quality measure rating sits at 1 star, and the current record carries 29 deficiencies, including three tied to abuse; none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy. State inspectors were last in on July 25, 2025. For a 59-bed nonprofit in Austin, the staffing investment is real, but the quality numbers and that weekend dip are where a family should ask questions.

Divine Providence Community Home runs about 3.42 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11 percent under the national average, and weekend coverage dips another 8 percent below its own weekday level, a pattern families often notice on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 34.1 percent, better than the 45.8 percent national figure, so the people who are there tend to stay. The record is mixed: 14 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was April 2026. Quality measure scores are weak, while staffing is strong, which is worth asking about directly.

Hope Springs At Minnetonka runs 21 beds, and the staffing numbers are the interesting part: 2.82 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 27% under the national average, and weekends drop about 25% below its own weekday level. So care is thin, and thinner on Saturdays and Sundays. What offsets that is stability, 12.5% annual turnover against a national 45.8% means the people who are there tend to stay, which matters more in a small building where residents know their aides. The tradeoff shows up in oversight: 37 deficiencies on record, none at harm level, with three fines totaling $9,496 and a recent June 2026 inspection. Ask about weekend coverage specifically.

Ebenezer Ridges runs a nonprofit shop in Burnsville with 114 certified beds and a clear staffing advantage, 5.17 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, about a third more hands-on time. Weekends dip roughly 9% below weekday coverage, which matters if your visits land on a Saturday. Inspections earn four of five stars and the most recent look came in January 2026, so the record is current. What tempers the picture: 17 deficiencies on file, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, none tied to abuse. Quality measures score two of five stars, suggesting the clinical outcomes don't fully match the staffing investment. Worth asking about that harm-level finding specifically.

New Brighton Care Center runs a for-profit corporate operation with 57 beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.24 hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real plus, though weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday levels, so care may thin out when families visit. The current inspection record shows 29 deficiencies, two of them abuse-related, with none at the harm or jeopardy level; the last inspection was November 2025. Its two-star inspection and quality ratings are the weak spots against a three-star staffing score. Worth asking specifically how the abuse deficiencies were resolved.

Cura Of Sandstone runs a genuine staffing advantage: 5.18 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and that holds up on weekends, which land about 13% below the home's own weekday level rather than falling off a cliff. The care side is where it gets harder to defend. Twenty-six deficiencies sit on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with a $17,345 fine attached. Quality measures score 1 out of 5, and the last inspection was April 2026, recent enough to be current, not stale. Plenty of hands on deck, but a record that says the hands alone haven't been enough.

Sauer Health Care runs 61 beds as a nonprofit, and its staffing sits at 3.60 nurse hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 11% below its own weekday coverage, a gap worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover is 43.1%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some stability. The tradeoff shows up in oversight: a 2/5 inspection rating with 19 deficiencies on record, including one abuse-related citation, though none rose to harm or jeopardy. The last inspection was January 7, 2026. Quality measures score 1/5, so ask how that plays out day to day.

The Villas At Brookview runs 104 beds in Golden Valley under corporate ownership, and its inspection record is the thing to look at first: 36 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm-or-jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. That is a lot of citations, and the single star CMS gives its health inspections reflects it, the last full inspection was April 16, 2026. Staffing sits at 3.50 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average, and weekends run about 12% thinner than weekdays. Turnover of 38.3% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the issue here isn't retention, it's how many hours each resident gets.

Kittson Healthcare runs 40 beds in Hallock, and it's a nonprofit, which usually buys some stability. The staffing numbers complicate that: 3.60 nurse hours per resident day sits about 7% under the national average, weekend coverage dips roughly 10% below its own weekdays, and annual turnover hits 82.9% against a national 45.8%. That churn matters more than the star ratings suggest, because nearly nine in ten caregivers leaving each year is hard on residents who need consistency. The inspection record shows 25 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, with one fine of $8,190. The last inspection was June 2025, so the picture is current.
