All 3 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Medford,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
Medford Rehabilitation and Nursing Center runs 142 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.42 nurse hours per resident day, about 11% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 8% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover comes in at 43%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. The current inspection record shows 37 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse; the most recent inspection was August 2025. Its staffing star (4/5) outpaces its health inspection and quality measure stars (both 3/5), which is worth weighing against that deficiency history before you decide.
Staffing at Regalcare At Courtyard-Medford runs a little under the national average, and weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday levels, so the coverage you see midweek isn't quite what you get on a Saturday. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 80 deficiencies, six at the harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse, plus $165,163 in CMS fines. That record is why federal regulators placed this 224-bed for-profit home in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a pattern of serious problems. Turnover is genuinely low by industry standards, which helps, but low turnover only goes so far when the last inspection, in March 2025, still left that many findings on the books.
Regalcare At Glen Ridge holds 164 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its health inspection record is the part that should worry you most: 77 deficiencies on file, 11 of them serious enough to involve actual harm or jeopardy, plus 9 abuse-related citations and $286,020 in fines across three incidents. Staffing tells a more mixed story. The 3.62 nurse hours per resident day sits about 6% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 9% thinner than weekdays, but turnover at 27.9% is well below the 45.8% national figure, meaning the staff it does have tends to stay. The last inspection was September 2025, so the record is recent rather than stale.
