Nurse staffing at Fargo Elim runs 5.12 hours per resident day, about a third more than the national average, and the low 35% turnover means the people providing that care tend to stick around. Weekends drop roughly 12% below weekday coverage, so ask how that gap gets filled. The tradeoff shows up in inspections: a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating with 14 deficiencies on record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy. No abuse citations, and the most recent inspection was April 2026, so the picture is current. Strong staffing and quality measures sit alongside a rougher regulatory history, worth asking the administrator directly what that harm-level deficiency was and what changed after it.

Bethany On University has a staffing story worth paying attention to: 5.40 nurse hours per resident day is roughly 40 percent above the national average, and the 5/5 staffing star rating reflects that. Weekend coverage dips about 11 percent below weekdays, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record shows 10 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none tied to abuse. Staff turnover sits at 51.9 percent, higher than the 45.8 percent national figure, which matters for whether care feels consistent from shift to shift. As a nonprofit with 172 beds, its most recent inspection was February 2026, and quality measures score at the top of the federal scale.

St. Catherine North is church-run and nonprofit, which tends to show up in how it treats staff, and it does here. Nurse staffing runs about 5.03 hours per resident day, roughly 30% above the national average, and turnover sits at 31.3% against a national 45.8%. Both numbers say people tend to stay. Weekends dip about 11% below the home's own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday.
The inspection record is more mixed: 12 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a single fine of $6,168. The last inspection was in February 2026, so the picture is current. Strong staffing, decent but not spotless oversight.

St Catherine South runs on a nonprofit model in Fargo with 98 certified beds, and the staffing numbers stand out: 5.36 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 39% above the national average, with a 5-star staffing rating to match. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below weekday levels, which is common but worth knowing if you're visiting on a Saturday. Turnover sits at 35.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure. Inspections look clean, 10 deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and the most recent visit was June 2025. The tension is in quality measures, which come in at 1 star, meaning clinical outcomes tracked by CMS don't match the strong staffing picture.

Eventide Fargo runs a church-affiliated nonprofit home with 98 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.66 hours per resident day, roughly 21% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real margin, though weekend coverage dips about 7% below its own weekday levels, so the weekday-to-weekend gap is worth asking about directly.
The inspection record shows 11 deficiencies, one of them at the harm or jeopardy level, plus a single fine of $9,030. Staff turnover is 47.7%, slightly above the national 45.8%. The last inspection was September 18, 2025, so the picture is current. Quality and staffing measures both rate 4 out of 5 stars, while health inspections sit at 3, consistent with a home whose day-to-day care numbers look stronger than its compliance history.

Bethany On 42Nd runs a tight ship on the clinical side. Its most recent inspection was in May 2025 and it holds a five-star health inspection rating, with eleven deficiencies on record and none at the harm or jeopardy level. Nurse staffing sits at 5.19 hours per resident day, roughly 35% above the national average, which is genuinely high. The caveats matter though: one deficiency was abuse-related, staff turnover is 59% against a national average of 45.8%, and weekend coverage drops about 8% below weekday levels. Quality measures land at three stars, middling. Strong inspection history and generous staffing, but the abuse finding and churn are worth asking about directly.

The Meadows On University runs a for-profit LLC with 95 beds, and the numbers show some strain. Nurse staffing sits at 3.71 hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, so families visiting Saturday or Sunday may notice thinner attention. Staff turnover is the bigger flag: 65% annually against a national 45.8%, meaning nearly two-thirds of the nursing team turns over each year. The current inspection record carries 20 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus a $41,041 fine. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, land at 2 out of 5.
