420 12Th Avenue East, Alexandria, MN 56308 · Capacity 83 · 3207636653
Nursing home Safety score 95/100
Knute Nelson Care Center holds a 5-of-5-star CMS rating (safety grade A).
CMS cost-report rate
From its public CMS cost report, Knute Nelson Care Center takes in an average of about $312 per resident-day across all payers — Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay combined. That is a facility-wide accounting average, not a private-pay quote, and it is not a monthly price: Medicare short-stay rehab is billed at a far higher daily rate than long-term custodial care, so the day-rate reflects payer mix as much as price.
