Staff turnover

Folkestone is a small nonprofit home in Wayzata, 30 certified beds, which means you're not dealing with a big corporate chain calling the shots. Staffing sits at 4.67 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 21% above the national average, and weekends dip only about 9% below its own weekday level, so the place doesn't hollow out when Friday rolls around. Turnover runs 35.1% against a national average near 46%, meaning caregivers tend to stick. The inspection record shows nine deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in November 2025. Its four- and five-star CMS ratings across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing line up with that picture.

Good Samaritan Ambassador runs on a nonprofit model with 77 certified beds in New Hope, and the staffing numbers back up the ratings: 4.56 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18% above the national average, with a 5/5 staffing star. Weekend coverage dips about 12% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays or Sundays. Turnover sits at 32.3% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. Two deficiencies on record, neither at the harm level nor abuse-related, and a 5/5 inspection star from a visit dated April 2026. Quality measures scored 3/5, the softer spot in an otherwise strong file.

Ecumen Lakeshore runs a nonprofit home with 60 certified beds in Duluth, and its staffing is the standout fact: 5.29 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 37 percent above the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 10 percent below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 46.3 percent, nearly identical to the national 45.8 percent, so continuity of caregivers is average rather than exceptional. On the regulatory side, the record is clean where it counts: two deficiencies total, none at the harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and a health inspection from May 2026.

St. Otto's runs about 4.17 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 8% above the national average, and weekends dip only about 13% below its own weekday staffing, a modest drop rather than the steep falloff common elsewhere. Staff turnover sits at 28.2%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests people tend to stay. The current record shows four deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, following an inspection in December 2025. Ownership is corporate for-profit. The weaker spot is quality measures, which land in the middle of the pack even as the health inspection side holds up.

Truman Senior Living runs about 4.77 total nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 23% above the national average of 3.86, a real difference at a 30-bed home where minutes matter. Weekend coverage dips about 8% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 45.5%, essentially matching the national 45.8%. The 11 deficiencies on record include none at the harm or jeopardy level and none related to abuse; the last inspection was January 2, 2026, so the findings are recent. The quality measure and staffing ratings both come in at 5 out of 5, with a 4 out of 5 on health inspections.

Three Links Care Center runs a nonprofit shop with 92 beds in Northfield, and the staffing numbers are the strongest part of the picture: 4.16 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, with turnover at 38.8% compared to 45.8% nationally. That stability matters, though weekend coverage drops about 11% below weekday levels, so ask how that gap gets filled. The inspection record is where it gets murkier, 16 deficiencies on file, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus one fine of $12,649. The last inspection was July 2025, so the record is current.

Lifecare Greenbush Manor runs on 4.33 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average, and that staffing depth shows up in its five-star staffing rating. Weekend coverage dips about 14% below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 44.2%, basically in line with the national figure, so continuity of care is neither a strength nor a glaring problem here. The inspection record is thin on paper: three deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. The most recent inspection was in June 2026, so the picture is current. Quality measures land at three stars, softer than the staffing and inspection scores.

Green Pine Acres is city-owned, which is unusual, and it shows in the staffing numbers. At 4.77 nurse hours per resident per day, it runs about a quarter above the national average, and its staff actually stick around, 30.4% turnover against a national 45.8% means fewer unfamiliar faces on the floor. Weekends do thin out, roughly 17% below weekday coverage, so that's worth asking about directly. Seven deficiencies sit on the current record with none at the harm level, though two are abuse-related, and the last inspection was in January 2026. The quality measure score is the soft spot; staffing and inspections are where this home is strongest.

Edenbrook Of Edina runs 4.01 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and its staff turnover of 38.3% is lower than the 45.8% typical elsewhere, meaning caregivers here tend to stick around longer than at most homes. Weekends, though, dip roughly 10% below weekday coverage, so ask how that gap gets filled. The record isn't clean: 29 deficiencies, including six tied to abuse and one at the harm level, with a two-star health inspection rating. That last inspection was in January 2026, so the findings are recent. Quality measures score well and staffing is solid, but the inspection history is the part worth pressing on.

The Green Prairie Rehabilitation Center runs 42 beds in Plainview under corporate for-profit ownership, and its last health inspection came in December 2025 with no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level, though one abuse-related citation is on the record among ten total. Nurse staffing sits at 3.29 hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 11% leaner than weekdays. Turnover is 38.9%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure. Federal ratings put quality measures and staffing at the top of the scale, and inspection results close behind.

Assumption Home in Cold Spring runs on church-affiliated nonprofit ownership and 76 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.01 hours per resident day, about 4% above the national average, though weekends dip roughly 12% below its own weekday levels. Turnover lands at 44.1%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection history is where you'll want to slow down: 15 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus a single fine of $17,345. The last inspection was November 2024. Strong staffing and quality marks coexist with real findings, so ask about the abuse citation and the weekend coverage gap directly.

Eventide Lutheran Home runs on unusually deep staffing for a nonprofit: 4.88 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and its 32.2% turnover sits well under the 45.8% typical elsewhere. That consistency shows up where it matters, weekends dip only about 7% below weekday coverage, so care doesn't thin out when families visit. The trade-off is inspection history: 22 deficiencies on record, four serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, and three fines totaling $39,393. The most recent state visit was June 2025, so the record is current. Strong staffing and steady retention don't erase a troubled survey trail, ask to see how those four harm-level findings were corrected.

Staff turnover
39%
Serious cites
0

Oak Hills Living Center runs on unusually heavy staffing for a nonprofit home its size, 5.27 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, which is why CMS hands it a perfect staffing rating. Turnover sits at 39%, better than the 45.8% national figure, though weekend coverage drops about 14% below its own weekday level, so care can thin out on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is where the picture darkens: ten deficiencies, three serious enough to endanger residents, one tied to abuse, and $30,026 in fines across two penalties. Strong daily staffing doesn't erase those findings, and the most recent inspection in April 2026 suggests they're current, not old history.

Presbyterian Homes Of Bloomington runs a nonprofit home with 98 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.80 hours per resident day, roughly 24% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend hours dip about 8% below its own weekday level, so coverage isn't perfectly even, but the floor stays well above average. Staff turnover is 30.8% against a national 45.8%, which matters for continuity of care. The current record shows 13 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in April 2025. The weaker spot is the 2/5 quality measure rating; strong staffing and a clean harm record don't erase that.

Viking Manor runs on a city-owned model in a small Clay County town, and the numbers show a stable operation. Nurse staffing sits at 3.42 hours per resident day, about 11% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 13% below its own weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. What stands out is the workforce: 12.2% annual turnover against a national 45.8% means people tend to stay. Inspections back that up: a 5/5 health inspection rating, five deficiencies on record with none at harm level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection in June 2025.

Milaca Elim Meadows runs on a nonprofit model with 70 certified beds, and its staffing sits at 4.50 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17 percent above the national average of 3.86. That margin matters most on weekends, where hours dip about 11 percent below the home's own weekday pace, so ask how weekend coverage actually looks on the days your family visits. The inspection record shows 11 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none tied to abuse, with the most recent survey completed in December 2025. Quality measures score at the top of CMS's scale, while inspections and staffing each land one notch below.

The Episcopal Church Home of Minnesota has an unusual split in its record: 5.43 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 41 percent above the national average, and a staffing rating to match. Quality measures also score well. The problem is inspections, 36 deficiencies on the current record, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. That combination of strong daily staffing with serious inspection findings is worth asking about directly. Weekend coverage runs about 10 percent thinner than weekdays, so care may look different on a Saturday. Nonprofit ownership doesn't erase the pattern in those deficiency counts.

Good Samaritan Society - Jackson runs on 4.07 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 5% above the national average, and that staffing shows up in a 30.8% turnover rate, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters because stable caregivers know the residents. Weekends are the soft spot: staffing drops about 17% below its own weekday level, so coverage isn't evenly spread across the week. The current record carries 15 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related and worth asking about directly. Inspections are recent, from September 2024, so the picture reflects how the home operates now.

Essentia Health Virginia Care Cent runs 40 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits at 5.08 hours per resident day, roughly 32% above the national average of 3.86. That's the number driving its staffing star rating of 5/5, though weekend coverage drops about 18% below its own weekday level, so the daily experience can vary. Staff turnover is 40.7%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The home carries 9 deficiencies on its current record with none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and it was last inspected March 26, 2026. Inspection rating is 4/5, quality measures 3/5.

Barrett Care Center runs on 4.99 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 29% above the national average, which is the main reason its staffing rating sits at the top of CMS's scale. Weekend coverage drops about 17% from weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is clean where it matters: four deficiencies total, none causing harm or jeopardy, none tied to abuse, with the most recent survey in June 2025. Staff turnover at 39.2% is better than the 45.8% national figure, no small thing in a 40-bed rural home. Corporate for-profit ownership, average quality measures, strong staffing, and recent inspections, that combination is what's behind the grade.
