CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the federal agency that regulates nursing homes) Overall 5-star rating — a composite of Health Inspection, Staffing, and Quality Measures scores. 5 stars = top 10% nationally. 1 star = bottom 10%. The single most important number to start with when comparing facilities.
Care Types in This Table AL (Assisted Living): Housing with help for daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication, without 24-hour skilled nursing. NH (Nursing Home): 24/7 skilled nursing care for residents with complex, ongoing medical needs. SNF (Skilled Nursing Facility): Round-the-clock nursing care, often for recovery after surgery, injury, or illness. MC (Memory Care): Secured, specialized care for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia. RC (Respite Care): Short-term temporary care that gives family caregivers a break. IL (Independent Living): Community living with dining, activities, and transportation for active seniors who need little personal care. HC (Home Care): Professional care delivered in the person's own home, from companionship to skilled nursing. HOS (Hospice Care): Comfort-focused care for those with a terminal illness, prioritizing quality of life over treatment. ADC (Adult Day Care): Daytime supervision, health monitoring, and social activities for seniors who live at home. PC (Palliative Care): Comfort-focused care for serious illness at any stage, including alongside curative treatment.
Neighborhood or city area where the facility is located. Proximity to family, hospitals, and green space matters for both quality of life and ease of visitation. Consider drive time and transit access when evaluating location.
Licensed bed capacity. Larger facilities (300+ beds) often have more specialized programs but can feel institutional. Smaller homes (under 150 beds) tend to deliver more personalized care. Compare with Avg Res/Day to understand how full the facility typically runs.
Percentage of licensed beds filled on an average day. Color indicates financial health: green (90%+) = operationally strong, typically profitable. Amber (80–89%) = stable but leaving revenue on the table. Orange (70–79%) = financial strain likely, may struggle with fixed costs. Red (<70%) = significant distress, closure or ownership change risk increases sharply.
This facility's occupancy rate compared to the statewide average for similar facilities. A positive number means above-average demand. Facilities running 5%+ above the state average are typically the most sought-after in their market — a strong proxy for reputation.
CMS-adjusted total nurse hours per resident per day (RN + LPN + CNA combined). The national average is approximately 3.5 hrs. Higher is better — more direct care time per resident. Below 3.0 is a red flag. CMS weights RN hours more heavily because RNs handle complex clinical decisions that CNAs cannot.
A 0–100 score of a facility's regulatory inspection record, shown as a letter and compared with other facilities of the same kind in the same state. This is a proprietary Assisted Living Magazine grade. It is not a government rating. A dash means we have no inspection data for that facility.
CMS Health Inspection star rating (1–5 stars), based on the 3 most recent annual state surveys plus any complaint investigations. This is the hardest rating to manipulate — it reflects real surveyor findings on-site. 5 stars = fewest deficiencies found. 1 star = most. It carries the heaviest weight in the Overall CMS rating.
CMS Staffing star rating (1–5 stars), based on daily nurse staffing hours submitted to CMS via verified payroll data. Compares RN, LPN, and CNA coverage relative to resident acuity level. 5 stars = well above expected staffing. Weekend staffing is evaluated separately, as that's where many facilities quietly reduce coverage.
CMS Quality Measures star rating (1–5 stars), based on 15 clinical outcome metrics including fall rates, pressure ulcers, antipsychotic drug use, and hospital readmissions. Captures actual resident health outcomes, not just compliance. High QM combined with low Health Inspection scores can indicate a facility with strong care but weak documentation practices.
Registered Nurse hours per resident/day compared to the statewide average. RNs are the highest-skilled nursing staff — they assess residents, manage medications, and respond to emergencies. A value of +50% means RN coverage is 50% above the state norm. Negative values are a concern for residents with complex or acute medical needs.
Total nursing staff hours (RN + LPN + CNA combined) per resident/day vs. the statewide average. A broader measure than RN vs State — it captures the entire care team. A facility can have high total staffing but low RN hours, meaning more aides and fewer nurses. Read both columns together for the full picture.
Total dollar amount of federal monetary fines (civil money penalties) issued by CMS in the past 3 years. Fines are only levied for serious violations — typically actual harm to residents, repeated uncorrected deficiencies, or systemic non-compliance. Even a single fine is noteworthy. Multiple fines strongly suggest a pattern, not isolated incidents.
Total health deficiency citations from the most recent standard inspection cycle. Minor citations (scope A–C) are common and often administrative in nature. Higher counts aren't always disqualifying, but should be read alongside Severe Citations to understand actual harm levels. Under 10 is strong for a large facility; 30+ warrants a closer look.
Average deficiency citations per CMS inspection (survey) in the reporting window — total citations divided by the number of inspections. Lower is better; compare alongside total Citations and Severe Citations for context.
Citations at CMS scope/severity level G or higher — G–I means actual harm occurred; J–L means residents were placed in immediate jeopardy. (D–F is potential for harm only). Examples include unaddressed falls, medication errors causing injury, neglect, or abuse.
Average number of residents in the building on any given day, derived from annual census data. Reflects true operating scale — a 400-bed facility running 200 residents/day operates very differently from one at 390. Higher resident counts generally mean more funded staffing hours.
Better Business Bureau rating (A+ to F). Reflects complaint history, business transparency, and how family disputes were resolved. A+ means no significant unresolved complaints. A blank (—) means the facility isn't BBB-accredited, which is common for healthcare providers and not necessarily a negative signal.
Walk Score® (0–100). Measures walkability of the surrounding area. 90–100 = Walker's Paradise. 70–89 = Very Walkable. 50–69 = Somewhat Walkable. Below 50 = Car-Dependent. Higher scores benefit family visitors, resident outings, and staff commuting.
The licensed owner or operator of record filed with CMS — the individual or organization legally accountable for the facility. Searching the operator name across other facilities can reveal chain or multi-site ownership, which matters: chain-operated homes tend to have more variable quality outcomes than independently run facilities.
What the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts — not gross billings. Taken from the latest complete annual cost report, so it is comparable across homes reporting the same period. Revenue alone doesn't indicate care quality, but it funds staffing and capital reinvestment. Pair with Payroll %. Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.
Staff salaries plus wage-related benefits from the latest complete annual cost report. Contract and agency labour is counted separately, under other operating costs, so a home leaning on agency staff can show a low figure here. Payroll is the cost most directly tied to care quality — compare with Payroll % for full context. Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.
Payroll as a share of NET PATIENT REVENUE (not gross revenue). Both figures come from the same cost-report year. A higher figure means more of each revenue dollar goes to staff pay. Read with the Staffing star rating to judge whether spend translates into coverage — and note that homes whose patient revenue covers only part of their operation can read implausibly high. The North Dakota average is: 63.6% Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.

Overview of Baptist Health & Rehab

Cassia Services owns Baptist Health & Rehab, a 140-bed nursing home at 3400 Nebraska Dr in Bismarck, North Dakota. Deanna runs it as Administrator. It’s been part of the area for around eight years, offering nursing home care, assisted living, and hospice care under one roof.

Don’t expect to walk anywhere nearby, as the Walk Score sits at 6. That’s just about as car-dependent as it gets.

The numbers point to a facility that’s nearly full and serving a mixed population. Occupancy runs at 97.5%, and the average resident stays 395 days, well over a year, though plenty of residents arrive for shorter Medicare-covered rehab stays before moving on. Nursing staff put in just over 5 hours of total care per resident each day. Coverage-wise, Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted, which opens the door for families regardless of how they’re paying.

Rehabilitation services and short-term rehab cover residents working toward going home, while a long-term skilled nursing program serves those who need ongoing care. Spiritual care and basic care round out the medical side. Day to day, residents have bright, individual rooms, emergency pendants for quick help, restaurant-style dining, walking paths, special events, and religious services.

Baptist Health & Rehab is a busy, nearly full nursing home built to handle two different kinds of residents at once: people working through short-term rehab and people who need skilled nursing care for the long haul.

Overview of Good Samaritan Society – St. Vincent

Kirk Greff runs Good Samaritan Society – St. Vincent, a 46-bed nursing home at 1021 N 26th Street in Bismarck, North Dakota. The single-story building has been operating for 42 years. That’s a long run for a 46-bed home, and it shows in how the place is set up: built mostly around long-term care rather than short-stay rehab.

The neighborhood is car-dependent. Walk Score sits at 21, so don’t plan on walking far for errands.

Most residents here stay a while: the average length of stay runs around 189 days, and occupancy holds at 81%. Nursing staff provide close to 4 hours and 40 minutes of total care per resident each day. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted, which covers most of the ways a family might be paying.

Rehabilitation services anchor the clinical side, and two named programs round things out: home-based services and caregiver support, the second of which is worth noting since it’s aimed at the family doing the caregiving, not just the resident. Religious services are also part of the offering. Pets are allowed, and transportation plus fitness and recreation options are available too.

What we know about Good Samaritan Society – St. Vincent adds up to a smaller, long-running nursing home built for residents who need ongoing daily care rather than a short rehab stay, with a leaner service list than some larger facilities but a steady, decades-long presence in the Bismarck community.

The Meadows on University

1315 S University Dr, Fargo, ND 58103
Overview of The Meadows on University

The Meadows on University provides nursing home care, hospice care, and skilled nursing in Fargo, ND. Skilled nursing means licensed nurses are on site around the clock, while hospice serves residents receiving end of life care. Ongoing and short term care options, together with rehabilitation services, can suit a family arranging either continuing nursing care or a temporary, recovery focused stay.

Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay are accepted. Medicare covers short term skilled care after a hospital stay, rather than a long term residence. Medicaid may help when savings do not cover an extended stay, while private pay allows a family to pay directly for care. The listed programs include pain management, dental care, dialysis, and podiatry services, addressing pain, oral health, dialysis needs, and foot care.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in North Dakota

Does North Dakota Medicaid cover nursing home care?

Yes — North Dakota Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.
