The Gardens at Winsted is a 70-bed for-profit home where nurse staffing runs about 13% under the national average, roughly 3.36 hours per resident day against 3.86. Weekends are thinner still, about 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover sits at 55.6% versus 45.8% nationally, so the people providing care are changing often. The inspection record shows 41 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two abuse-related, with an $8,021 fine and a May 2025 visit. Two-star inspection and quality ratings round that out. Families should ask directly about weekend coverage and how abuse allegations were resolved.

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.

Cura Of Long Prairie is a 60-bed nonprofit in Todd County, and its inspection record is the strongest thing it has going. Seven deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with a survey done as recently as June 2026. Nurse staffing runs 4.75 hours per resident day, about 23 percent above the national average, though weekends drop roughly 6 percent below the home's own weekday level. The softer spots are the quality measure star rating, which sits at 2 out of 5, and a staffing star rating of 3 despite those total hours, worth asking about, since hours don't always land where residents feel them.

Cura Of Sauk Centre runs 60 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.44 hours per resident day, roughly 15% above the national average. That sounds good on paper, but the number hides a problem: weekends run about 16% thinner than weekdays, so coverage depends heavily on when you visit or call.
The bigger issue is turnover. Every direct-care position effectively turned over in the past year, versus about 46% nationally, which means your family member's aides are likely new and still learning the building. Thirteen deficiencies sit on the current record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and the most recent inspection was in March 2026. Quality measures scored 2 out of 5.

Green Lea Senior Living runs 2.37 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 39 percent under the national average of 3.86, with weekends about 6 percent thinner than weekdays, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The inspection record is heavy: 38 deficiencies, two of them at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, and the most recent inspection in June 2025 didn't clear that. A 4/5 quality measure score sits oddly beside a 1/5 on staffing and a 1/5 on health inspections, which tells you charted care metrics look better than the day-to-day reality of who's actually on the floor. Corporate for-profit ownership, 41 beds.

Neilson Place runs 78 certified beds in Bemidji under nonprofit ownership, and the staffing picture is mixed in a way that matters. Total nurse hours sit at 3.80 per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86, but weekends drop about 14% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 55.4% against a national 45.8%. Those two numbers together mean care is thinner exactly when families tend to visit and fewer familiar faces are on hand at all.
The inspection record is where the real weight sits: 47 deficiencies, 10 of them abuse-related, 6 serious enough to put residents in harm's way, and $45,915 in fines across 3 events. The most recent inspection is from March 2026, so the record is current, not stale.

The Waterview Pines runs on 3.30 nurse hours per resident day, about 15% under the national average, and weekend staffing drops roughly 11% below its own weekday level. That thin coverage shows up in the inspection record: 39 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, against a one-star health inspection rating. Staff turnover sits at 57.1%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so residents cycle through a lot of unfamiliar aides. It's a for-profit partnership with 83 beds, fined $10,036, last inspected January 15, 2026. The quality measure rating of three stars suggests some clinical metrics track better than the day-to-day staffing and safety picture.

The Emeralds At St Paul runs on a for-profit corporate model, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.60 hours per resident day, about 19% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping roughly 8% below its own weekday levels. Annual turnover is 23.6%, well under the 45.8% national figure, so the same caregivers are largely sticking around. What pulls the record down is the inspection side: 62 deficiencies on file, 7 of them at harm or jeopardy level and 8 abuse-related, plus four fines totaling $138,736. The most recent inspection was July 30, 2025. Good staffing and a troubled survey history are both true here at once.

Glenoaks Senior Living Campus runs 52 certified beds in New London under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers deserve a close look before you visit. Nurse staffing sits at 3.23 hours per resident day, roughly 16 percent under the national average, and weekends run about 11 percent thinner than weekdays, so care on a Saturday may look different than on a Tuesday. Staff turnover of 80.5 percent, against a national average near 46 percent, means the aides and nurses who know your family member are likely to change often. The health inspection record is the harder part: 47 deficiencies, including 3 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $29,822. The most recent inspection was in April 2025, so the record is current, not stale.

Central Health Care Center runs 40 beds in Le Center under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers worth your attention are the ones families rarely ask about. Nurse staffing sits at 3.64 hours per resident per day, roughly 6% under the national average, and it drops about another 10% on weekends when oversight tends to be thinnest. Staff turnover is the bigger tell: 62.1% annually against a national average of 45.8%, which means the people caring for your relative are likely to change often. Fourteen deficiencies are on the current record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with one fine of $21,048. The most recent inspection was February 10, 2026.

The Waterview Shores runs about 3.32 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 14% under the national average, and weekend coverage slips about 12% below its own weekday level. That thin staffing shows up against a 64.4% annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for your relative are frequently new. Inspectors have cited 26 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 1 abuse-related, and the single $334,488 fine on record is substantial for a 44-bed home. The most recent inspection was June 5, 2025. Quality measures score well, but the staffing and inspection records are where the real concerns sit.

Lb Broen Home in Fergus Falls runs 74 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.89 hours per resident day, just a hair above the 3.86 national average. That thin margin is worth noting, especially since weekend coverage drops about 7% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Its inspection record is the strong point: a 4-out-of-5 star rating with 10 total deficiencies and none at the harm or jeopardy level. But two of those deficiencies are abuse-related, and the quality measure score is only 2 out of 5, which suggests the clinical outcomes data isn't keeping pace with how the building looks on inspection day.

Bayshore Residence and Rehabilitation Center runs 140 beds in Duluth under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers tell two stories. Its 3.56 nurse hours per resident day sit about 8% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 12% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover hits 58% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The inspection record is the harder part: 37 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, and $132,398 in fines, all from an April 2025 inspection. On paper the staffing star looks strong, but the same record shows real problems.

The Estates at Rush City runs 41 beds under for-profit partnership ownership, and its staffing sits slightly under the national average at 3.78 nurse hours per resident day, close enough to typical, but weekends drop about 10% below its own weekday coverage, which is when problems tend to surface. The bigger number is turnover: 72% of staff leave each year against a national rate near 46%, meaning nearly three-quarters of the people caring for residents are new to the building annually. Its inspection record shows 21 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, though the most recent inspection was in January 2026. Quality measure scores land at 1 out of 5 stars.

The Emeralds At Grand Rapids runs 3.47 nursing hours per resident day, about 10 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 8 percent below its own weekday staffing. That thinner coverage matters more given a turnover rate of 48.9 percent, above the 45.8 percent national figure, and a CMS health inspection rating of 1 out of 5. The record shows 58 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 abuse-related, with fines of $38,522 across three penalties. The most recent inspection was March 2025. For-profit corporate ownership, and families should ask directly how the home covers weekends and what's changed since that inspection.

Benedictine Care Community runs 49 beds in Ada under nonprofit ownership, and the numbers say the care side needs a closer look. Nurse staffing sits at 3.16 hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average, and weekends drop about 12% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Turnover is the bigger flag: 60.4% of staff leave each year against a national average near 46%, which means the people showing up are often new. Inspections back that up, 28 deficiencies on record, two at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, and one fine of $154,460. The most recent inspection was June 2026, so the picture is current, not stale. Worth asking about staffing plans and how they hold the line on weekends.

Edgebrook Care Center runs on 2.45 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 37 percent under the national average of 3.86, and the federal staffing rating lands at 1 out of 5 because of it. Weekend coverage tracks about 1 percent above weekdays, so that's not where the gap comes from. The inspection record shows 16 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none involve abuse; the health inspection rating sits at 2 out of 5, with the most recent survey done in November 2025. It's a 54-bed nonprofit, and the quality measure rating of 3 shows clinical care isn't failing across the board, the shortfall is hands on deck.

Clara City Care Center is city-owned and small, 48 beds, which in a lot of towns means everyone knows someone who's stayed there. The federal numbers tell a rougher story. Inspectors have cited 12 deficiencies on the current record, three of them at the harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was April 2026. Staffing sits well below the national average, and so do the health inspection results, while the quality measures look more ordinary. That split matters: how a place scores on paper for resident outcomes can look fine even when the hands-on care and the survey record don't. One fine, $13,260. Worth asking the administrator directly what's changed since the last visit.

Meadow Manor runs on thin staffing. At 2.94 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 24 percent under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 23 percent below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands exactly when families tend to visit. Twenty deficiencies are on the current record, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, which is a lot for a 26-bed home where problems are hard to hide. The four-star inspection rating and February 2026 visit suggest regulators found real issues but nothing rising to widespread failure. Corporate ownership and that one-star staffing rating explain where the overall grade lands.

Littlefork Care Center runs 42 beds as a nonprofit, and its staffing numbers are decent on paper, 3.41 nurse hours per resident day, though that's still about 12% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop roughly 17% below the home's own weekday level, and turnover sits at 52.8% against a national 45.8%, so the same faces aren't always there. The inspection record is where it gets harder to explain: 33 deficiencies on file, one at harm or jeopardy level, six tied to abuse, and a single $218,595 fine. The most recent inspection was December 10, 2025.
