Nursing homes across Nelson County, North Dakota, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Aneta Parkview runs 35 beds as a nonprofit, and its last state inspection came back clean enough for a top federal rating, four deficiencies on record, none causing harm or tied to abuse. Staffing is a different story. At 3.84 nurse hours per resident day, it sits just under the national average, but weekends drop roughly 20% below its own weekday coverage, and 57.5% annual turnover is well above the 45.8% national figure. That churn matters more in a small rural home, where replacing a nurse takes longer. Quality measures land mid-range. Solid care when inspectors look, thinner coverage when they don't.
Good Samaritan Society - Lakota runs 38 beds in a small Nelson County town, and the nursing hours tell a mixed story: 3.83 per resident day, just under the national figure, with weekends dropping about 24% below the home's own weekday staffing. Staff turnover is 44.7%, roughly in line with the national average, so retention isn't the problem here. The inspection record is. Twenty-seven deficiencies, two of them at harm or jeopardy level, plus two fines totaling $74,283, and a quality measure rating of 1 out of 5. The most recent inspection was June 2025, so the record is current. Nothing suggests abuse. But a home with this many cited problems and quality scores this low is one to visit unannounced and ask hard questions about.
The county-owned home in Mcville runs 35 beds and staffs above the national average, 4.07 nurse hours per resident day versus 3.86, which is the strongest thing in its file. But that staffing thins out on weekends, dropping roughly 15% below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 51.2% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing that care keep changing. The inspection record is the real concern: 15 deficiencies, six tied to abuse and one serious enough to put a resident in harm's way, plus a $36,855 fine. The most recent inspection was April 2025. Good daily coverage, a troubling paper trail.
