Hopkins Restorative Care Center is a 65-bed for-profit home in Hennepin County, and the staffing numbers are the first thing I'd look at, a 1-star CMS staffing rating is about as low as that scale goes, meaning nurse hours per resident fall well short of what the federal government considers adequate. The inspection record shows 45 deficiencies on the current record, including 3 abuse-related citations, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level. The last inspection was in March 2026, so the record is recent. Quality measures land at 3 stars, which suggests some clinical care is being delivered, but with this few staff, I'd want to ask directly how they cover overnight shifts and weekends before making a decision.

The Emeralds At Faribault runs lean on nursing staff, 3.31 hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 8% below its own weekday coverage. Staff turnover sits at 63.8%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which matters because that's a lot of caregivers cycling through the building each year.
The inspection record is where the real concern lives: 61 deficiencies, including 8 tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in May 2025. None were cited at the harm or jeopardy level, so this isn't a home where residents have been seriously injured in a documented incident, but the sheer volume and the abuse-related findings are worth asking about directly before you decide.

The Villas At The Park runs 3.16 nurse staffing hours per resident day, about 18% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 7% below its own weekday levels, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is a genuine bright spot at 36.6%, well under the 45.8% national figure, and the quality measure rating sits at 4/5. The inspection record is where this home gets tripped up: 29 deficiencies on file, two at harm or jeopardy level, two abuse-related, and 16 fines totaling $162,230. The most recent inspection was November 2025. A for-profit corporate owner, steady staff retention, and a long citation history coexist here, the staffing numbers and deficiency log are what deserve your scrutiny.

Parmly On The Lake runs 91 certified beds in Chisago City and staffs at 3.48 total nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average of 3.86. That shortfall gets worse on weekends, when coverage drops about 11% below its own weekday level, and 52% annual turnover means a lot of the aides and nurses your family meets will be new. The current inspection record carries 20 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus one fine of $8,193. The most recent inspection was September 19, 2024, so that record is fairly current. For-profit corporate ownership, and the quality measure star rating sits at 2 of 5.

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.

Sterling Park runs 40 beds in Waite Park under for-profit partnership ownership. The raw staffing number looks good, 4.19 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% above the national average, and CMS gives it 4 out of 5 stars on staffing. But the stability behind that number is shaky: annual turnover sits at 65.3% against a national average of 45.8%, and weekend hours drop roughly 14% below its own weekday coverage. On the health inspection side, 19 deficiencies are on record, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in August 2025. Quality measures land at 3 out of 5. Plenty of hands scheduled, in other words, fewer of them staying, and inspection problems that haven't gone away.

Belgrade Nursing Home runs a lean 34 beds under nonprofit ownership, and the direct-care hours show it: 4.58 per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That's real coverage, though weekends dip roughly 5% below the home's own weekday baseline, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday.
The bigger issue is turnover, 73.5% annually, well above the 45.8% national figure. High churn can undercut consistent care even when raw staffing hours look strong, and it lines up with a quality measure rating of 2 out of 5.
Inspections are recent and clean at the serious end: 10 deficiencies on record, none involving harm or abuse.

Thorne Crest, a nonprofit home with 52 beds in Albert Lea, has a record worth reading carefully. State inspectors cited 36 deficiencies, three of them at a level where residents were actually harmed or put in jeopardy, and two tied to abuse, with one fine totaling $43,082. Staffing sits at 3.76 nurse hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and the workforce is churning: 72.7% annual turnover against roughly 46% nationally, with weekends running about 9% leaner than weekdays. The bright spots are real, a 4-out-of-5 quality measure rating and 4 for staffing, but a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating, with citations including abuse, is the piece families should weigh heaviest.

Andrew Residence runs on 1.95 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly half the national average, and the weekend gap is real: about 23% less coverage than weekdays. That staffing level earned a 1 out of 5 from CMS, and it's the clearest number on the page. The 19 deficiencies on record, including one at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with a 2 out of 5 inspection rating, tell you what the surveyors found when they looked. The 5 out of 5 quality measure score stands out against all that, but those measures are self-reported, and a 212-bed for-profit home with thin staffing has less margin to catch problems before they escalate.

Good Samaritan Society - Windom has the staff to do the work: 4.47 nurse hours per resident day, about 16 percent above the national average, and a 40.7 percent turnover rate that's better than the typical home. Those numbers earn a 4 out of 5 staffing rating. The trouble is what inspections keep finding. The current record shows 35 deficiencies, three of them abuse-related and one serious enough to put a resident in harm's way, plus a single $194,680 fine. CMS rates the inspection and quality domains just 1 out of 5 each, and the last full inspection was February 2026. Staffing can't offset a record like that, no matter how good the hours look.

Hendricks Community Hospital runs 48 certified beds as a nonprofit, and the numbers behind its C grade point to a staffing problem. Total nurse coverage sits at 3.53 hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average, and weekends drop about 17% below what the home staffs on weekdays. That thin coverage is compounded by 56.9% annual turnover, well above the 45.8% national figure, so residents cycle through a lot of unfamiliar caregivers. The current record carries 22 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, though none reached the harm or jeopardy level. A recent April 2025 inspection is a positive, but the low quality-measure and staffing ratings suggest the day-to-day care still has real gaps.

Samaritan Bethany Home on Eighth runs 128 beds as a nonprofit, and its nursing hours land around 3.53 per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average. Weekends dip about 17% below its own weekday coverage, and turnover sits at 47.4%, a bit above the national figure. The current record shows 18 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a single fine of $27,555. Its last inspection was March 26, 2026, which is recent. Staffing earns four stars from CMS, but the inspection and quality measure ratings both sit at three, and the deficiency history is what pulls the overall picture down.

River Valley Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 43 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.62 hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends get thinner still, running about 12% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage dips exactly when families tend to visit. The bigger number to sit with is turnover: 83.7% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for your relative are new to the building. Twenty-one deficiencies sit on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse. The last inspection was March 24, 2026, with a single fine of $14,069.

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.

Glenwood Village Care Center runs a nonprofit home with 64 certified beds, and its nurses put in 4.17 hours per resident day, about 8 percent more than the national average. That sounds reassuring until you look at the weekend, where coverage drops roughly 10 percent below the home's own weekday level, and at turnover that hits 93.1 percent against a national figure near 46 percent. Nearly every aide and nurse you'd meet is relatively new. The current inspection record carries 32 deficiencies, including three serious enough to put residents in harm's way and two tied to abuse, with a $15,592 fine attached. The last full inspection was in May 2025. Stable, experienced hands are what make daily care reliable, and that's the piece missing here.

Mala Strana runs 69 certified beds under for-profit corporate ownership, and its inspection history is genuinely strong, a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating with the most recent survey completed in April 2026. The trouble sits elsewhere. Nurse staffing comes in at 3.79 hours per resident day, just under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 10% below what the home staffs on weekdays, which matters when aides are already stretched. Turnover is the number that should give you pause: 75.3% of staff leaving annually against a national average of 45.8%. Ten deficiencies sit on the current record, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse. Good surveys, thin staffing, heavy churn.

Nurse staffing sits at 3.79 hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 12% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 66.3% is well above the national 45.8%, meaning roughly two of every three caregivers leave each year. The current inspection record carries 20 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus six fines totaling $59,001. The most recent inspection was April 16, 2025, so it's fairly current.

Benedictine Living Community Mother of Mercy is a 76-bed nonprofit, church-affiliated home in Albany, and the staffing numbers are its clearest strength, 4.71 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22% above the national average, which is why CMS gives it four stars on staffing. Weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday levels, so coverage is thinner then. The trouble sits elsewhere. Twenty-nine deficiencies on the current record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a $69,449 fine, pull the health inspection rating to two stars, and quality measures land at two as well. Staff turnover runs 50%, above the 45.8% national figure. The last inspection was February 26, 2026.

Hilltop runs about 140 beds in Duluth under for-profit partnership ownership, and the numbers worth your attention are the ones a star rating can hide. Nurse staffing comes in around 3.31 hours per resident day, roughly 14 percent under the national average, and weekends drop another 7 percent below its own weekday levels, meaning the thinnest coverage lands exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover sits at 50 percent.
The inspection record is where things get serious: 35 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse, and $168,221 in fines across three penalties. The most recent inspection was March 12, 2026, so that record is current.

St. Marks Living has a genuine strength: 4.70 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22% above the national average, which is why CMS gives it 4 out of 5 stars for staffing. But that staffing comes with cracks, weekend coverage drops about 7% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 51.8%, higher than the national 45.8%. The bigger problem is oversight: 29 deficiencies on the current record, four of them at harm or jeopardy level, and a $127,000 fine. Its last inspection was in April 2025, and CMS rated that inspection 1 out of 5 stars. Strong bedside hours alone can't offset that pattern.
