Birchwood Health Care Center runs 100 certified beds in Forest Lake as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing lands right at the national average of 3.86 hours per resident day. Weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday coverage, which is worth asking about if your family member needs care on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 37.7%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so caregivers tend to stick around longer than at many homes. The harder numbers are on the inspection side: 33 deficiencies on the current record, three at harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, plus $48,698 in fines across three penalties. The most recent inspection was April 2025.

Woodbury Health Care Center runs on a nonprofit model with 155 certified beds in Washington County, and its staffing looks solid on paper, 3.93 nurse hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, with only a 24.4% turnover rate compared to 45.8% nationally. But the inspection record tells a different story: 49 deficiencies, four of them at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse. Two fines totaling $182,683 sit on the books, and the most recent inspection was in July 2025. Weekend staffing also dips about 11% below weekday levels, which matters when residents need consistent care. Strong staffing numbers don't erase a troubling inspection history.

Diamond Care Center runs on thin coverage, 2.44 nurse staffing hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 11% below its own weekdays. CMS gives that staffing a 1 out of 5, and the health inspection record matches: 25 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and one tied to abuse, plus $69,512 in fines. Annual turnover sits at 54.5%, well above the national 45.8%, which makes it harder to hold onto the staff who know these 36 residents. The quality measure star of 4 out of 5 shows some care processes are being tracked well, and the last inspection was September 2025. But staffing and compliance are where families usually feel the difference day to day.

Providence Place is a 190-bed nonprofit home in Minneapolis, and its staffing is genuinely above average, 3.90 nurse hours per resident day against a national 3.86, with a 4-out-of-5 staffing rating to match. What undercuts that is everything around it: turnover runs 78.5% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people delivering that care are new, and weekend staffing drops roughly 7% below the home's own weekday coverage. The inspection record shows 50 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, five tied to abuse, and $136,524 in fines across four penalties, with the most recent inspection dated May 2026.
