Ostrander Care and Rehab is a 25-bed for-profit home in Fillmore County, and its inspection record is the strongest thing about it, a five-star health inspection rating with nine deficiencies on file, none of them serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy. Staffing is where it gets thinner: 3.55 nurse hours per resident day sits about 8 percent under the national average, and weekends run roughly 14 percent below the home's own weekday staffing, so care gets lighter exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover at 37.5 percent is meaningfully better than the 45.8 percent national figure, which matters for consistency. One abuse-related deficiency is on record, worth asking about directly.

Prairie Manor runs a lean 39 beds as a nonprofit, and the nursing hours reflect that focus: 4.36 per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average, with a five-star CMS staffing rating to match. That's real coverage, though weekends drop about 14% below the home's own weekday level, so your visit timing matters. Staff turnover sits at 43.5%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. The tradeoff shows up in inspections: ten deficiencies on record, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, and a single $43,300 fine. The last inspection was May 2026. Good staffing, but ask about that harm-level finding.

Renville Health Services runs 38 certified beds as a nonprofit, and the numbers suggest a well-staffed building. Nurse coverage sits at 3.93 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and the 5-star staffing rating reflects that. Just as telling: turnover is 27.8% against a national average near 46%, which means caregivers tend to stay. The 11 deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was June 15, 2026. The softer spot is the 2-star quality measure rating, so ask what those specific measures cover. Weekend staffing dips about 8% below weekdays, worth a question if your family visits Saturdays or Sundays.

Grand Avenue Rest Home runs 20 beds on Minneapolis's South Side, and the numbers tell two different stories. Nurse staffing sits at 2.44 hours per resident day, roughly 37 percent under the national average, with weekends running about 10 percent thinner than weekdays, so the stretches without a nurse in the building matter more here than in a larger home. Staff turnover is 36.4 percent, better than the 45.8 percent national figure, and the quality measure rating is strong at 4 out of 5. Against that, 51 deficiencies sit on the current record, including six tied to abuse, with no harm-level findings, and the last inspection was September 11, 2025.

St. Luke's runs on church-affiliated nonprofit ownership, and the numbers show what that stability buys: 4.56 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with turnover at 19.4% while the typical nursing home churns through 45.8% of its staff yearly. Weekend coverage dips about 17% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. The April 2025 inspection turned up eight deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, and the health inspection rating sits at 4 of 5. Where the record thins is quality measures, at 2 of 5, worth asking which specific measures dragged that down before you decide.

Whispering Creek is city-owned, small at 35 beds, and it runs a tight ship. Nurses provide 4.11 hours of care per resident per day, about 7% above the national average, and the health inspection record is spotless at the top CMS rating, with five total deficiencies and none involving harm, jeopardy, or abuse. Staff turnover of 38.5% beats the national 45.8%, which matters for residents who need consistent faces. The one thing to ask about is weekends: staffing drops roughly 19% below the home's own weekday level, so if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays, that's the gap worth a direct question.

West Wind Village runs about 3.77 nurse hours per resident day, a touch under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 12% below its own weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family tends to visit Saturday or Sunday. Staff turnover sits at 36.4%, well below the 45.8% national figure, which suggests people stick around. The tradeoff shows up in the record: eight deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none tied to abuse. A 4-out-of-5 inspection rating and a recent survey date of May 2026 back that up, and as a nonprofit with 45 beds, it's small enough that you can get real answers from the people in charge.

Cerenity Care Center White Bear Lake runs a nonprofit home with 132 certified beds, and its staffing is the strongest part of the picture: 4.09 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% above the national average, with a 5/5 CMS staffing rating. Turnover sits at 32.2%, well below the 45.8% national figure, which suggests a steadier workforce than most. What pulls the record down is the inspection side, 27 deficiencies on file, two of them at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus two fines totaling $36,990 and a 3/5 health inspection rating. The most recent inspection was December 11, 2025, so that record is current. Weekend staffing dips roughly 8% below weekday levels.

Lyngblomsten runs on a paradox: its nurses stay, but its record doesn't. Turnover at 16.7% is well under half the national rate, and CMS gives staffing its top mark, yet total nurse hours sit slightly below the national average, and weekends run about 9% thinner than weekdays, so coverage is steady in who shows up, thinner in how much. The inspection side is where the trouble sits: 20 deficiencies on the current record, including two at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with $101,482 in fines and a June 2025 inspection still recent. Quality measures score well. The gap between the care metrics and the compliance history is the real story here.

Good Shepherd Lutheran Home runs about 3.98 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and its inspection record is clean where it matters: five deficiencies total, none causing harm or jeopardy, none tied to abuse. The catch is staffing consistency. Weekend hours drop roughly 13% below weekday levels, and turnover sits at 50% against a national 45.8%. So you're looking at a nonprofit home that inspects well and staffs above average on paper, but with enough churn and weekend slippage that your family should ask how they cover Saturdays and Sundays, and how long the current director of nursing has been there.

Essentia Health Homestead runs a 32-bed nonprofit home in Deer River, and the staffing numbers are the strongest thing it has going. At 4.97 nurse hours per resident day, it beats the national average by roughly 29%, though weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. The trouble sits elsewhere: 15 deficiencies on record, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 2 tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $67,727. Staff turnover is 50%, above the 45.8% national figure. A recent inspection in April 2026 means the record is current. Strong caregiver ratios, real compliance problems.

Sylvan Court runs a solid, well-staffed operation in Canby. Nurse staffing sits at 4.06 hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average, and its five-star health inspection rating reflects a clean survey record, six deficiencies total, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related and worth asking about directly. Staff turnover comes in at 41.8%, slightly better than the national average of 45.8%. The tradeoffs: weekend staffing drops roughly 11% below weekday levels, and the three-star quality measure rating suggests outcomes data isn't as strong as the inspection and staffing numbers. As a nonprofit, it answers to a board rather than shareholders.

Augustana Chapel View runs on a nonprofit model with 100 certified beds, and its strongest number is staffing: 4.31 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12 percent above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 9 percent below weekday levels there, and annual turnover sits at 35.5 percent against a national 45.8 percent, a relatively stable crew, which matters for residents who depend on familiar faces. The inspection record is where it gets murkier. Twenty-six deficiencies are logged, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none are abuse-related. One fine, $17,345, has been assessed, and the last inspection was recent, in December 2025. Strong staffing paired with a longer deficiency list is the tension worth asking about directly.

Laurels Peak runs 60 beds in Mankato under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing is the clear strength: 3.93 nurse hours per resident day sits slightly above the national average, enough for CMS to hand it a top staffing rating. Weekend coverage dips about 12% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. Turnover at 43% is a touch better than the national 45.8%. The concern is the inspection record, 37 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating from a visit in September 2025. No abuse citations appear. Solid hands-on care, weaker safety and compliance.

Lakeside Generations runs about 4.03 nurse staffing hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and weekends drop roughly 15% below its own weekday level, worth asking about if your family visits mostly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 53.1%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, so continuity of caregivers is a real question. The inspection record shows 8 deficiencies, one at the harm or jeopardy level, with the most recent inspection in January 2026. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, come in at 4 out of 5.

Good Samaritan Society - Howard Lake runs a tight staffing ship for a 32-bed nonprofit home. Nurses deliver 4.06 hours of care per resident per day, slightly above the national average, and the 9.1% annual turnover is remarkably low, most American nursing homes lose nearly half their staff every year, so this one clearly retains people. The trade-offs: weekend coverage dips about 15% below weekday levels, and the record shows 11 deficiencies, including one tied to abuse; none reached harm or jeopardy level. A recent February 2026 inspection gives a current picture, though the middle-of-the-road marks on health inspections and quality measures suggest care is steady rather than spotless.

St. Clare Living Community of Mora runs a lean, stable ship on the staffing side, 4.05 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and turnover of 23.1% that's roughly half the national rate. Those numbers suggest a team that mostly sticks around, though weekend coverage drops about 19% below weekday levels. The trouble is inspections: 28 deficiencies on the current record, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and $45,100 in fines across 13 penalties, with the most recent inspection in May 2026. Quality measures score well, but a one-star health inspection rating against five-star staffing points to a home where care delivery looks solid and compliance does not.

Good Samaritan Society - Bethany runs on a non-profit model with 79 certified beds in Brainerd, and its last health inspection came in December 2025. The 15 deficiencies on file include none at the harm level and none tied to abuse. Nurse staffing sits at 3.81 hours per resident day, roughly 1% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 16% below its own weekday levels, a gap worth asking about if your family visits primarily on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is the standout number: 27.8% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay considerably longer than elsewhere.

Evansville Care Center is a 27-bed for-profit run by a limited liability company, and its staffing numbers are the headline: 3.92 nurse hours per resident day, just above the national average, with a 16% turnover rate against a national 45.8%. That stability matters more than the small margin above average, because consistent caregivers know residents. Weekend staffing drops roughly 17% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The current record shows 8 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a 4/5 inspection rating and a 5/5 staffing rating. The last inspection was January 21, 2026, so the record is recent.

Interfaith Care Center in Carlton runs a church-affiliated nonprofit with 96 beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.39 hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average of 3.86. That's the strongest thing in its file, and CMS agrees, giving it a top staffing rating. Weekends run about 10% lighter than weekdays, so ask how that gap gets covered. Staff turnover lands at 49.4%, a bit above the 45.8% national figure, which matters more than a single staffing snapshot. Nine deficiencies are on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, but four are abuse-related, worth asking about directly. The last inspection was April 2026.
