EVENTIDE FARGO
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Eventide Fargo has a Trust Grade of C+, indicating that it is slightly above average. With a state rank of #35 out of 72 facilities in North Dakota, it is positioned in the top half, but it ranks #7 out of 8 in Cass County, meaning only one local option is better. The facility is experiencing a worsening trend, with issues increasing from 3 in 2024 to 5 in 2025. Staffing is a strength, with a 0% turnover rate, indicating that employees stay long-term, which is beneficial for resident care. However, the facility has faced $7,585 in fines, which is average, and it has received some concerning inspection findings, including a serious incident where a resident fell and fractured a bone due to a lack of supervision while toileting, and instances of inadequate infection control practices. Overall, while there are strengths in staffing stability, families should be aware of the rising issues and specific incidents that could impact care quality.

What Have Inspectors Found at Eventide Fargo?

Who Owns and Operates Eventide Fargo?
EVENTIDE FARGO is owned by a non-profit organization. Non-profit facilities reinvest revenue into operations rather than distributing to shareholders.

How Does Eventide Fargo Compare to Other North Dakota Nursing Homes?
Compared to the 100 nursing homes in North Dakota, EVENTIDE FARGO's overall rating (3 stars) is below the state average of 3.1 and health inspection rating (3 stars) is at the national benchmark.
What Should Families Ask When Visiting Eventide Fargo?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "Can I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?" "How do you handle medical emergencies, and what is your hospital transfer rate?" "Can I speak with family members of current residents about their experience?"
Is Eventide Fargo Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, EVENTIDE FARGO has a clean safety record: no substantiated abuse findings (meaning no confirmed cases of resident harm), no Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death), and is not on the Special Focus Facility watch list (a federal program monitoring the lowest-performing 1% of nursing homes). The facility has a 3-star overall rating and ranks #100 of 100 nursing homes in North Dakota. While no facility is perfect, families should still ask about staff-to-resident ratios and recent inspection results during their visit.
Do Nurses at Eventide Fargo Stick Around?
EVENTIDE FARGO has not reported staff turnover data to CMS. Staff turnover matters because consistent caregivers learn residents' individual needs, medications, and preferences. When staff frequently change, this institutional knowledge is lost. Families should ask the facility directly about their staff retention rates and average employee tenure.
Was Eventide Fargo Ever Fined?
EVENTIDE FARGO has been fined $7,585 across 1 penalty action. This is below the North Dakota average of $33,155. While any fine indicates a compliance issue, fines under $50,000 are relatively common and typically reflect isolated problems that were subsequently corrected. Families should ask what specific issues led to these fines and confirm they've been resolved.
Is Eventide Fargo on Any Federal Watch List?
EVENTIDE FARGO is not on any federal watch list. The most significant is the Special Focus Facility (SFF) program, which identifies the bottom 1% of nursing homes nationally based on persistent, serious quality problems. Not being on this list means the facility has avoided the pattern of deficiencies that triggers enhanced federal oversight. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
