“Management is doing a very, very good job. They have so many activities, it's just great. Housekeeping does a great job, and my mom is picky about her things being moved, so that matters. Maintenance is fabulous, the vans and drivers are wonderful, and the nurses hop to it when we let them know something. The services are great, the people behind the desk know everybody, and privacy is really good. I would give them all tens.”

“I really like it here. I think management is wonderful, and I couldn't ask for anything better. There are always choices at meals, so you can pick what you really like. You can participate in activities as much as you want, and I've always gotten where I wanted to go with the transportation. I feel very safe and comfortable. They're very good.”
“The management team is all professional, and I've never had any problems with any of them. The meals I've eaten have been very, very good, and he always says the meals are really good. There's a lot for residents to do, and he goes to activities quite often. If I mention something needs to be looked at, they're very good about taking care of it. The staff are very attentive, kind, courteous and caring, and they're receptive to feedback. We've already recommended it.”
“Management seems to have everything under control. The activities are good: you can choose what you like and participate if you want, and I like that.

“It's an excellent place. They've absolutely got the best breakfast in town, and I never miss it. The weekend servers are high school kids who really work. They've got something going on all the time, and sometimes I go watch the music presentations. My apartment is spotless after housekeeping, all done while I'm at breakfast. The maintenance man takes good care of the whole building and is pretty fussy about everything. It's an excellent value, and I'd recommend it.”
“I rate management very high; that's one of the reasons I'm here. There is no hidden agenda. They have the best soup in the city and the best coffee, and there were 21 outside programs here in December. My place is absolutely spotless when my housekeeper is done, and you can hardly put the phone down before the maintenance man is at the door. The building smells fresh, and residents can plant in the raised flower beds. I've recommended this place to half a dozen people.”

What these terms mean
Health surveys check care and services against the basic care licensing rules (NDAC 33-03-24.1). Life Safety Code surveys check fire safety and the building (NDAC 33-03-24.2).
North Dakota law (NDCC 23-09.3-04) has the department use “a two-tiered system of identifying areas of noncompliance with the health portions of the survey”; statements name these Tier I and Tier II citations. The rules (NDAC 33-03-24.1-05) say the department posts “the deficiency statement and accepted plan of correction, following verification of correction.”
The search lists statements of deficiencies, posted after the state verifies correction, so the newest surveys may not appear yet. Statements are scanned; headings listed here were read from the scans by machine and the statement itself is the record.
