What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★☆☆☆☆1/5 · CMS overall rating: 2/5
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 3, 2026 · F-0689 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not keep the environment free of accident hazards, or did not provide enough supervision to prevent accidents like falls.
Why it matters: This is one of the most common citations and directly relates to falls and injuries, which can be devastating for older adults.
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.
Corrected: Feb 9, 2026 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)

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) | 4.63 | 4.83 | 3.95 | bottom 44% in Minnesota; top 20% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 1.12 | 1.22 | 0.69 | bottom 49% in Minnesota; top 12% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 4.12 | 4.27 | 3.50 | bottom 44% in Minnesota; top 20% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.40 | 0.69 | 0.48 | bottom 20% in Minnesota; top 48% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 36.7 | 42.2 | 45.8 | top 40% in Minnesota; top 28% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 50.0 | 38.6 | 42.9 | bottom 32% in Minnesota; bottom 39% 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 3.09, RN 0.74, weekend 2.75. Staffing rating: 5/5.
Self-reported quality measures
