Maine Veterans Home in Augusta runs on a state Veterans' Affairs model, and the staffing numbers show it: 6.62 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 72% above the national average. That's a big cushion, and it shows up in the five-star staffing rating. Turnover sits at 32.5%, well below the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. Twelve deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, worth asking about directly. The most recent inspection was November 2025, so the picture is current. Nonprofit ownership, 108 beds, and quality and inspection ratings both at four stars. The weak spot, if there is one, is weekends, when staffing drops about 10% below its own weekday level.

Augusta Center for Health & Rehabilitation runs 72 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits modestly above the national average at 3.99 nurse hours per resident per day. That edge is real but thin, and weekends run about 8% lighter than weekdays, worth knowing if your visits tend to fall on Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover lands at 33.3%, noticeably better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests less churn in who's actually showing up to provide care. The current inspection record carries 30 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus a single fine of $10,059. No abuse-related findings appear. The most recent inspection was February 5, 2026, so the picture is reasonably current.

Glenridge in Augusta runs a nonprofit operation with 125 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the strongest part of the picture: 4.33 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping about 8% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 31.8%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The tradeoff shows up in the quality measures, where CMS scores it 2 out of 5.

Gray Birch runs a nonprofit home in Augusta with 77 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.73 hours per resident day, roughly 23% above the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday coverage, and turnover at 48% edges past the national 45.8%, so the strong weekday numbers come with some churn behind them.
The health inspection record shows 27 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related citation, though the last survey was in January 2026. Federal staffing and inspection ratings land at 5 and 4 stars, while the quality measure rating sits at just 1, worth asking the staff directly about, since those measures track things like falls, infections, and antipsychotic use.
