Benedictine Living Community-Minneapolis is a 90-bed skilled nursing facility at 618 E 17th St in Minneapolis’s Central Minneapolis neighborhood, offering assisted living and skilled nursing care. The mid-rise provides private and double-occupancy rooms; accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. Licensed by the Minnesota Department of Health, Health Regulation Division. Contact (612) 879-2800. CMS Certification Number: 245266; owned by Jeffrey Benson as a voluntary nonprofit.
With a walk score of 80 (ranked #5 of 43 Minnesota SNFs), the facility sits 1.0 mile from downtown Minneapolis and 0.66 miles from Midwest Podiatry Centers. Occupancy is 85.8% (ranked #20 of 60 SNFs); average length of stay 326 days. Payer mix: Medicare 1.7%, Medicaid 88.8%, private pay 9.4%.
Staffing represents a significant operational weakness. Total nursing care averages 3 hours 38 minutes per resident per day (ranked #57 of 59 Minnesota SNFs), which is 24% below the Minnesota average of 4 hours 46 minutes and below the 3.0-hour red flag threshold. Staff-to-resident ratio is 1.85:1 versus state average 2.22:1 (17% worse). RN staffing is particularly thin at 56 RNs serving 90 residents, resulting in 7.5 hours per shift. Weekend nursing totals 4 hours 23 minutes per day. Contractor use is minimal (2.6%), suggesting reliance on permanent staff without adequate supplementation. The facility is ranked #57 of 59 Minnesota SNFs for total nursing hours.
CMS ratings are poor across all categories. Overall rating 2/5 stars (37.1% below Minnesota average). Health Inspection rated below state average by 28.8%; Staffing 2.3% below; Quality Measures 4.1% below. The low overall rating combines poor inspection results weighted most heavily with below-average staffing and quality performance.
The facility describes skilled nursing services including wound care, tube feeding, and respiratory care, with a dedicated unit for ventilator-dependent and tracheostomy care. Palliative and hospice care are available. Short-term rehabilitation and post-surgical recovery stays are offered.
Inspection and compliance history is concerning. The facility underwent 9 inspections since 2023 (33% more than Minnesota average of 6 inspections), yielding 33 total citations (43% higher than state average 23.2). Severity breakdown: 1 critical citation (43% worse than state average), 1 serious citation (100% worse than state average), 30 moderate, 1 minor. Deficiency themes over the inspection period: Quality of Life & Care 13 (39%), Abuse, Neglect & Exploitation 5 (15%), Resident Rights 4 (12%), Pharmacy Services 4 (12%), Infection Control 2 (6%), Environmental 1 (3%). The January 2025 inspection identified infection control, pharmacy, and quality of care deficiencies—all marked corrected by facility. However, the pattern of abuse/neglect deficiencies (5 citations across inspections) and quality-of-care citations (13 deficiencies) points to systemic operational issues.
Regulatory penalties are severe. On May 23, 2024, CMS imposed an $85,000 civil money penalty and temporarily denied payment for new Medicare and Medicaid admissions for 37 days; a serious enforcement action indicating substantial noncompliance. The $85K penalty is 91% higher than the Minnesota average of $44K. The payment denial alone (130% higher than state average of 0.4) disrupted the facility’s revenue stream and admission capability for over a month.
Financial data shows improving but modest margins. 2024 revenue was $14.8M (ranked #26 of 59 SNFs); payroll $9.5M (64% of revenue, within healthy range); surplus $612.8K with profit margin 4.3%. Payroll increased approximately $1.5M from 2023, and net income rose ~$173K, suggesting some operational recovery following the 2024 penalty.
Quality outcome measures are mixed. Falls with major injury 0.9% (76% better than Minnesota average). Walking ability worsened 13.9% (41% better than state average). Depressive symptoms 0.9% (80% better than state average). However, need for ADL help increased 22.3% (18% worse than Minnesota average), suggesting functional decline among residents.
Families should ask about the May 2024 $85K penalty and 37-day payment denial, corrections implemented since May 2024, and the five abuse and neglect citations.
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 85th out of 89 homes in Minnesota 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.
| 2h 27m per day | ▲ 129% State avg: 1h 4m 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.
| 28m per day | ▼ 24% State avg: 37m 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 9m per day | ▼ 14% State avg: 2h 30m per day · National avg: 2h 20m 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.
| 4h 33m per day | ▲ 24% State avg: 3h 40m per day · National avg: 3h 27m 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.
| 1m per day | ▼ 79% State avg: 5m 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.
| 2h 5m per day | ▲ 201% State avg: 41m per day · National avg: 29m per day |

Net patient revenue — what the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts are subtracted from its gross charges (CMS cost report, Worksheet G-3). It covers resident care only; money the home earns from other sources is shown separately as "Other income."
Net patient income: net patient revenue minus the home's total operating expenses. A positive figure means it earns more from resident care than it spends to deliver it; a negative figure means the opposite. It excludes non-operating "other income."
