Staff turnover

Serious cites
0

Golden Acres Manor runs 64 certified beds in Carrington under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nursing staff totals 3.58 hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86. That gap widens on weekends, when coverage drops about 21% below the home's own weekday level, so the thinnest staffing tends to land when families visit and when backup is hardest to reach. Inspectors logged 11 deficiencies; none rose to harm or jeopardy, but two are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. The last inspection was May 2025, so the record is recent. Quality measures score well; staffing and health inspections sit closer to the middle.

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.

Ashley Medical Center Nursing Home

Ashley Medical Center Nursing Home runs on remarkably strong staffing for a 31-bed home, 5.22 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, and its staff turnover of 41% actually beats the national rate. It's been inspected recently, in July 2025, and the seven deficiencies on file involve no harm or jeopardy and no abuse. The weak spot is quality measures, where it scores 2 out of 5, meaning clinical outcomes like falls, infections, or antipsychotic use don't track with how well the place is staffed. Weekend coverage also drops about 26% below weekday levels, so care may thin out on Saturdays and Sundays.

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.

Mckenzie County Healthcare Systems runs a 42-bed nonprofit home in Watford City, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.27 hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average. That's a real cushion, though weekends run about 10% leaner than weekdays, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week. The inspection record is where things get mixed: 12 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a single $6,300 fine. The most recent inspection was in July 2025, so the picture is current. For a small rural home, the staffing strength is genuine, but those two serious deficiencies deserve a direct question before you decide.

St. Benedicts runs a leaner nursing floor than most: 3.75 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 18% below its own weekday coverage. That gap matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when families tend to visit and when care needs don't take the weekend off. The nonprofit's inspection record is genuinely strong, a five-star health inspection rating, a clean slate on harm-level deficiencies, and a survey completed in April 2025, though one abuse-related citation and a 53.9% annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8% national figure, are worth asking about directly. Quality measures sit mid-range at three stars.

Wentz Living Center runs 36 certified beds in Napoleon under nonprofit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.95 hours per resident day, roughly 28% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real margin, though weekend coverage drops about 19% below its own weekday level, so the weekday numbers aren't the whole picture. The home's inspection record shows five deficiencies, one of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with no abuse citations, and one fine totaling $13,627. Its last inspection was March 25, 2026, which is recent. A 4/5 inspection rating and 4/5 staffing rating are doing real work here; the quality measure score of 3/5 and that single harm-level deficiency are what pull the overall picture down.

Griggs County Care Center runs on a nonprofit model with 40 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.39 hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average. Weekends drop about 16% below its own weekday levels, and turnover runs 48.7% against a national 45.8%, so the coverage is real but not perfectly steady. Inspections in August 2025 turned up five deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, with none tied to abuse. The quality measure score is soft at 2 out of 5, though the health inspection side holds at 4. That split, strong staffing, weaker clinical measures, is what pulls the overall picture down to a solid but unremarkable middle ground.

Staff turnover

St. Luke's Home in Dickinson runs on unusually heavy staffing, 6.30 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national average, and residents still get strong coverage on weekends even though it dips about 15% from weekday levels. That staffing strength shows up in a five-star rating, and its most recent inspection in April 2025 produced no abuse citations. Two things complicate the picture. One of the 11 deficiencies on record rose to the harm level, and quality measures score only 2 out of 5. Staff turnover sits at 53.6%, higher than the national average of 45.8%, meaning the people providing that generous staffing are often new.

Eventide Heartland runs a nonprofit shop in Devils Lake with 78 beds, and the staffing numbers are the strongest part of the picture, 4.28 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average, which is why it earns a 5 out of 5 on CMS's staffing measure. Two things complicate that: weekend coverage drops about 9% below its own weekday levels, and annual turnover sits at 52.9%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, so the people providing those hours keep changing. The current inspection record shows 23 deficiencies, one of them abuse-related, though none rose to harm or jeopardy. State inspectors last visited in May 2026.

Mandan, ND · Morton County

Miller Pointe runs on unusually steady staff. Aide and nurse turnover sits at 21.9% against a national average of 45.8%, and total nurse staffing of 4.34 hours per resident day clears the national figure by roughly 12%, though weekend coverage thins out about 9% below the home's own weekday level. The trouble is everything else. Sixteen deficiencies sit on the current record, two of them at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with a $35,535 fine and a December 2025 inspection that produced a 2-star health inspection rating. Good staffing can't offset a survey history like that, which is why the overall picture lands closer to average than the 5-star staffing number suggests.

Lutheran Home of the Good Shepherd runs a 51-bed nonprofit operation in New Rockford, and the staffing numbers are the strongest thing it has going: 4.47 nurse hours per resident day, comfortably ahead of the national average. But weekend coverage drops about 16% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover of 52.5% sits well above the national figure, meaning the people providing that care cycle through quickly. The health inspection record is where the picture darkens: nine deficiencies on file, three of them at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and $31,829 in fines across three penalties. A recent August 2025 inspection is encouraging, but the harm-level findings matter more than the timing.

Lutheran Sunset Home runs on church-affiliated nonprofit ownership in Grafton, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.04 hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average, with a 5/5 staffing star to match. Weekend coverage drops roughly 16% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays. Staff turnover is 32.6%, well under the national 45.8%, which matters for continuity of care. The trouble is quality and inspections: 20 deficiencies on record, including one at harm level and three abuse-related, plus a $11,057 fine, with the most recent inspection in February 2026. The people caring for residents seem stable; the systems around them have fallen short.

Maryhill in Enderlin runs a tight ship on the things you'd notice day to day: nurse staffing sits at 4.11 hours per resident, noticeably above the national figure, and only about a third of its caregivers leave each year compared to nearly half elsewhere. The tradeoff shows up in the clinical numbers, a two-out-of-five quality measure rating and fourteen deficiencies on the current record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy. Inspectors were last in the building in November 2025 and logged a single fine just over $10,000. Weekend coverage drops roughly 18% from weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday.

Missouri Slope runs a nonprofit home of 192 beds in Bismarck, and its nurse staffing is the standout fact here: 5.45 hours per resident day, roughly 41% above the national average of 3.86. That's real coverage, not a rounding trick, though weekends drop about 16% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover of 52.2% sits above the national 45.8%. Inspections tell a more complicated story: 20 deficiencies on the current record, two of them at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus two fines totaling $39,404. The most recent inspection was May 2026. Strong hours, but the harm-level findings and turnover are worth asking about directly.

St. Gerard's runs on unusually strong staffing for a 34-bed home, 4.67 nurse hours per resident day, about a fifth more than the national average, with turnover at 34% against a national 46%. That's the good news, and it's real. The problem sits in the inspection record: ten deficiencies on file, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, four tied to abuse, and a $48,233 fine. Weekend coverage also drops roughly 14% below weekday levels. The most recent inspection was July 2025, so the findings are current, not stale. Strong hands on deck, but a troubled survey history behind them.

Mountrail Bethel Home runs on a church-affiliated nonprofit model with 36 beds in Stanley, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.67 hours per resident day, roughly 21% above the national average. That's the strongest part of the picture. Weekends dip about 17% below the home's own weekday coverage, though, and turnover lands at 48.3%, a bit above the national 45.8%. The inspection record shows 26 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but two tied to abuse. Federal quality measures score 1 out of 5, while staffing earns 5 out of 5, a split worth asking about directly, since the two don't usually diverge this sharply.

St Vincent's in Bismarck has a staffing story that looks fine on paper, 4.12 nurse hours per resident day, about 7% above the national average, and a compliance story that doesn't. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, the agency's watchlist for homes with a pattern of serious problems, and the record shows why: 35 deficiencies, three at the level that caused actual harm or put residents in immediate jeopardy, and four tied to abuse. Two fines totaling $44,606. Weekend staffing drops roughly 17% below the home's own weekday level, and 42.9% of staff turned over last year, slightly better than average, but still nearly half the workforce. Inspectors were last in on April 3, 2025.

Marian Manor runs a nonprofit shop with 54 beds in Glen Ullin, and the staffing hours look decent on paper, about 4.11 per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average. But weekends dip about 14% below its own weekday coverage, and turnover sits at 57.8% against a national 45.8%, so the people giving that care keep changing. The inspection record is where it gets harder to explain away: 15 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, one tied to abuse, and a $22,835 fine. The last inspection was June 2026, so this isn't stale history. Quality measures score well, but the survey findings and the churn behind them are what pull the overall picture down.

Eventide Jamestown runs a nonprofit home with 79 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.16 hours per resident day, about 8% above the national average. That's the strongest part of the picture, and it's why staffing earns 4 stars. But the same numbers show weekend coverage dropping roughly 8% below weekday levels, and annual turnover of 52.6% is higher than the 45.8% national average, so consistent hands aren't guaranteed. The inspection record shows 16 deficiencies, 2 of them at harm or jeopardy level, with the most recent inspection in May 2025. Quality measures come in at 2 stars, which is where the home looks weakest.
