What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)

Health inspection rating: ★★★★☆4/5 · CMS overall rating: 5/5

The health inspection star above is graded on a curve within each state — a set share of each state's facilities gets each star level — so a facility can have few citations and still rate 2–3 stars if others in its state did even better. The overall rating combines that inspection score with staffing and self-reported quality measures.

Most serious findings (actual harm or immediate jeopardy)

▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Feb 14, 2024 · F-0684 · triggered by a complaint

The facility did not provide treatment and care that follows the doctor's orders and matches the resident's own preferences and goals.

Why it matters: Care that strays from doctor's orders or ignores the resident's wishes can lead to declining health and avoidable harm.

Severity (J): Inspectors found a situation that put a resident's life or safety in immediate danger, affecting one or a few residents. The facility must fix it immediately — these citations often come with large fines.

Nurse staffing (from payroll records, adjusted for how much care residents need)

Measure	This facility	Minnesota avg	U.S. avg	Where it stands
Total nurse staffing (hours per resident per day)	5.48	4.83	3.95	top 19% in Minnesota; top 7% in the U.S.
Registered Nurse hours	1.08	1.22	0.69	bottom 46% in Minnesota; top 13% in the U.S.
Weekend total nurse staffing	4.73	4.27	3.50	top 24% in Minnesota; top 9% in the U.S.
Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted)	0.35	0.69	0.48	bottom 11% in Minnesota; bottom 42% in the U.S.
Total nursing staff turnover (%)	43.5	42.2	45.8	bottom 41% in Minnesota; top 46% in the U.S.
RN turnover (%)	42.9	38.6	42.9	bottom 39% in Minnesota; bottom 49% in the U.S.

Hours are per resident per day, case-mix adjusted by CMS so facilities caring for sicker residents can be compared fairly (same basis as the CMS staffing star). "Top X%" means better than most facilities: more staffing hours, or lower turnover. Raw (unadjusted) reported hours: total 4.36, RN 0.86, weekend 3.76. Staffing rating: 5/5.

Self-reported quality measures

Note: these ratings are based on data the facility reports about itself to CMS. They are not independently verified by inspectors, and can look better than inspection findings. Give more weight to the inspection results above.
