This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. The latest standard survey recorded 9 findings, above the MN average of 8.0. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
AICOTA Health Care Center receives highly polarized feedback, with some families praising the compassionate staff and clean environment, while others report severe neglect and communication failures. Critical concerns include long wait times for call lights, delays in medication management, and a lack of responsiveness from administration.

Key Review Excerpts
“The staff, from the nurses, cna's, kitchen staff, administration, and maintenance, were all so caring and helpful. Whenever they walked in the room, my sister's face would light up.”
“Offer great care and are very communicative.”
“If the nurse call light is pushed it takes anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours to get a response. Nurses are rude. Administrators are lacking.”
This facility meets both EveryPlace staffing reference benchmarks. Higher staffing is generally associated with stronger day-to-day care.

EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
