Overview of Benedictine Living Community-Bismarck

Benedictine Living Community-Bismarck is a 56-bed skilled nursing facility at 4580 Coleman Street in Bismarck, Burleigh County, North Dakota, operated by St. Gabriel’s Community Skille as a voluntary nonprofit. The community has maintained operations for 41 years and holds a 5-star CMS overall rating paired with a 5-star health inspection score, translating to 32% fewer regulatory deficiencies than typical North Dakota nursing homes across the past three years.

Over three annual inspections, the facility recorded 12 moderate citations; no critical or serious violations, zero fines, and no enforcement actions or substantiated complaints.

That clean record masks an underlying pattern: recurring compliance failures in documentation accuracy, medication protocols, infection control practice, and resident supervision. Deficiencies involved MDS coding errors, insulin administration gaps, barrier-precaution lapses, elopement risk assessment failures, and medication transcription discrepancies. The issues are procedural, not catastrophic, but persistent.

Staffing presents contrasts. Registered nurse hours run 1 hour 7 minutes per resident per day; roughly 22% above the North Dakota average, and the facility maintains a 2.16:1 staff-to-resident ratio, 12% better than state average. Total nursing care hours, though, average 4 hours 23 minutes per resident per day, placing the facility in the lower tier statewide at rank 20 of 25. Physical therapy is a genuine strength: 11 minutes per resident per day, 450% above state average, supported by four PT assistants in a rehabilitation-focused model.

The occupancy rate sits at 98.6%, among the highest in North Dakota and signaling sustained demand. The payer mix is 47% Medicare admissions with typical 1-month stays, which confirms a short-stay rehabilitation orientation. Long-stay quality measures, however, show functional decline 16% worse than state average, indicating structural constraints in supporting residents through progressive illness.

Benedictine Living Community-Bismarck suits short-term Medicare rehabilitation stays with robust physical therapy support and financial stability.

For families considering long-term placement of residents with advancing dementia or functional decline, the facility’s quality-measure profile warrants careful attention.

Does North Dakota Medicaid cover memory care?

North Dakota Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, but most states (including North Dakota) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.
