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.
Occupancy between 85% and 95% suggests balanced demand.
