No Medicare penalties on record
St Gabriel's Community has a strong overall Medicare rating. RN hours meet the EveryPlace reference benchmark, which is one useful staffing signal to discuss during a visit. Public reviewers frequently mention: warm, caring, and professional staff and clean and well-maintained facility. Review the component ratings and current source records before deciding.
Families generally describe St. Gabriel's (also known as Benedictine Living Community-Bismarck) as a clean, welcoming, and home-like environment with attentive staff and high-quality rehabilitation services. While most feedback is highly positive, some reviewers have noted specific issues with slow response times to call lights and noise disturbances from early morning garbage collection.

“She feels comfortable and safe. Staff on both sides are always friendly and show genuine concern if a problem arises. She feels at home at BLC.”
“Mom just recently moved there and has been welcomed with open arms. She's really enjoying meeting people, the activities, the excellent food, and the spiritual activities.”
