Family Satisfaction rates 2/5 (ranked 100th of 123), with overall family satisfaction at 78.0% versus state average 83.7%.

A November 10, 2023 initial licensing inspection found 10 deficiencies; 156% worse than the Minnesota average of 3.3 per year. Level-two violations included improper food storage (milk above required temperature), inadequate infection control practices (improper glove use, unclean whirlpool tub), incomplete resident records, physical environment maintenance failures (blocked fire doors, extension cords for refrigerators, open water connections, improperly maintained emergency generator), unsigned service plans affecting three residents, medication transcription errors, unsecured medications accessible to one resident, incomplete treatment management documentation, failure to document treatment administration, and unsecured cleaning supplies in the memory care unit accessible to residents. A $500 fine was issued. The facility was cited as achieving “substantial compliance” overall, though multiple level-two violations were documented. No complaint investigations or enforcement actions appear in available records, and no prior inspection data is available for trend assessment.
Families should ask about corrections following the November 2023 inspection deficiencies, food safety, infection control, staff training, medication management, security procedures, and memory care supervision.
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 31st out of 85 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.
| 49m per day | ▼ 24% 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.
| 20m per day | ▼ 45% 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 57m per day | ▲ 18% 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.
| 3h 52m per day | ▲ 6% 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.
| 7m per day | ▲ 49% 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.
| 35m per day | ▼ 16% State avg: 41m per day · National avg: 29m per day |
