CMS (the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) is the federal agency that rates nursing home quality. Its Overall Rating runs from 1 to 5 stars, combining health inspections, staffing, and quality measures, with inspections weighted most heavily.
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.
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.

This home is ranked 20th out of 25 homes in North Dakota for nurse hours. Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
| Staff type | Hours / Day / Resident | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.
| 1h 3m per day | ▲ 15% State avg: 55m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.
| 23m per day | ▼ 22% State avg: 30m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
| 2h 54m per day | ▼ 4% State avg: 3h 0m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day |
|
Weekend Total Nursing
Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.
| 3h 52m per day | ▲ 3% State avg: 3h 46m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day |
|
Physical Therapist
Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.
| 11m per day | ▲ 435% State avg: 2m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
Weekend RN
Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.
| 37m per day | ▲ 6% State avg: 35m per day · National avg: 29m per day |
