MN Care Buddy
License records, inspection findings, and the federal ratings for every Minnesota nursing home and assisted living facility. Free, from public records.
This site is part of the Buddy Network, a collection of Minnesota consumer tools built by attorney Dan Swenson.
I am Dan Swenson, a data nerd who is also a Minnesota workers' compensation attorney and a city council member. I build these sites as a hobby to make public records, government rules, and license registries easy to find and use. The tools are free. The network pays for itself through disclosed referral links and a few optional paid guides.
More about why I build these
MN Care Buddy is an independent educational resource built by a Minnesota attorney. It is not a placement agency, not a health care provider, and not affiliated with the Minnesota Department of Health or with Medicare. Nothing on this site is legal or medical advice, and reading it does not create an attorney-client relationship.
Facility information comes from two public sources: Minnesota Department of Health licensing and enforcement records, and the federal CMS Care Compare files behind Medicare's nursing home ratings. Each page shows the date we last checked the records. The official records control; if something here looks wrong, check the source links or tell us.
This site does not rank, recommend, or endorse any facility, and no facility can pay to appear here or to look better here. Facility records come from the government and are never editable by the facilities they describe. Attorney advertising. Privacy policy.
