Westgate Center runs on 4.17 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average of 3.86, and its staff turnover sits at 22.9% against a national figure near 46%. That combination matters more than any single number: enough hands on deck, and a workforce stable enough to know the residents. Weekend staffing dips about 4% below its own weekday level, a small slide rather than a cliff. The 18 deficiencies on record include none at the harm or jeopardy level and none tied to abuse, and the most recent inspection closed out in May 2026. For-profit operation under a limited liability company, 65 certified beds.

Norway Center runs about 4.31 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 12% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 34.1% sits well below the 45.8% norm, a sign people tend to stay. Weekend coverage dips about 11% from weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays or Sundays. The home carries 10 deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with its most recent inspection in April 2025. For-profit corporate ownership, 42 beds, and quality measures that score at the top of CMS's range.

Katahdin Health Care runs 4.04 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, and weekend staffing dips about 10% below its own weekday levels, worth asking about, since weekends are when families often visit. Staff turnover sits at 31% against a national average near 46%, which matters for whether you see the same faces month to month. The 20 deficiencies on record include none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was March 2026. For a 36-bed for-profit home in Millinocket, those numbers describe steady, well-supervised care rather than a place coasting on reputation.

Gorham House runs 69 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the real story here, 4.84 nurse hours per resident day puts it roughly a quarter above the national average of 3.86. That's a genuine cushion, though weekend coverage dips about 9% below weekdays, and turnover sits at 52.6% against a national 45.8%, meaning a lot of those hours come from people still learning the building. The inspection record is mixed: 24 deficiencies on file, none at harm level but two tied to abuse, with the most recent survey dated February 2026. Quality and staffing measures both rate well; the health inspection side is where the caution lives.

Sanfield Rehab & Living Center is a small for-profit home in Hartland, 23 beds, and its staffing is the standout. At 4.57 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 18% above the national average, and weekend coverage dips only modestly below weekdays. Turnover sits at 34.3%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests a steadier crew than many places its size. The tradeoff shows in its record: 16 deficiencies, including one abuse-related citation, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. State inspectors visited most recently in July 2025 and rated health inspections 4 out of 5. For a family weighing a small rural home, the staffing numbers are the real signal here.

Springbrook Center runs 123 certified beds in Westbrook under corporate for-profit ownership, and its record splits sharply depending on where you look. Nurse staffing sits at 3.79 hours per resident day, slightly under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops about 8% below the home's own weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 34.5%, noticeably better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around longer than at the typical home. The inspection side is the real concern: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 30 deficiencies on the current record, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 1 abuse-related, plus $17,388 in fines across two penalties. The last inspection was July 19, 2024. Strong quality measure scores and stable staffing don't erase that history.

Horizons Living And Rehab Center runs on unusually deep staffing for a 65-bed for-profit home, 4.71 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth more than the national average, and its workers tend to stay, with turnover near 24% against a national rate closer to 46%. Weekends thin out by about 17% compared to weekdays, so ask how coverage holds up on a Saturday. The inspection record shows 20 deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, and the most recent survey was in August 2024. Quality measures score low even as staffing scores high, a split worth asking the administrator to explain.

Stillwater Health Care runs on good staffing numbers for its size, 4.11 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and its staff turnover of 31.9% is notably lower than the 45.8% typical elsewhere, which usually means steadier caregivers who know the residents. Weekends dip about 12% below weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family visits then. The harder part is the inspection record: 28 deficiencies logged, two serious enough to risk harm, three tied to abuse, plus two fines near $29,000. That mix, strong daily care, rougher oversight history, is what a family should weigh, especially with individual for-profit ownership.

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.

Summer Commons runs a lean ship on the clinical side: 4.89 nurse hours per resident day puts it well above the national figure, and its last inspection came back clean on harm, no deficiencies at that level, nothing tied to abuse. The catch is people. More than half the staff turned over in the past year, which is higher than the national rate, and weekend coverage dips below what the building manages Monday through Friday. For-profit, LLC-owned, 64 beds in Sanford. The care numbers look steady right now. Whether the team stays long enough to keep them there is the real question to ask on a tour.

Caribou Rehab And Nursing Center runs 72 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.67 hours per resident day, roughly 21% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real margin, though weekend coverage dips about 15% below its own weekday levels, so the cushion isn't uniform across the week. The inspection record shows 23 deficiencies, one of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with no abuse citations; the most recent inspection was July 2025. CMS rates quality measures 4 out of 5 and staffing 3 out of 5, while health inspections come in at 3. Families weighing this one should ask specifically how the weekend shifts are covered and what changed after that harm-level finding.

Edgewood Rehab & Living Ctr runs 33 certified beds in Farmington under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.38 hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real margin, though weekends dip about 15% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage isn't evenly spread. Annual turnover lands at 43.6%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. The tension is in inspections: 31 deficiencies on the current record, including one abuse-related citation, with the most recent inspection in August 2025 and a 2/5 health inspection rating. Nothing on record rises to harm or jeopardy, but that volume of findings is worth asking about directly.

Russell Park runs 50 beds in Lewiston, and the staffing numbers are the bright spot: 4.17 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, with turnover at 36.1% against a national 45.8%. Weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday level, so coverage gets thinner then. The problem sits in inspections, a 1/5 health inspection rating, 44 deficiencies on the current record, including two tied to abuse, though none at harm or jeopardy level. The last inspection was May 2025, so the record reflects recent findings rather than old ones. Quality measures come in at 3/5 under corporate, for-profit ownership. Strong daily staffing paired with a weak inspection history is what a family should weigh here.

Pine Point Center runs 61 certified beds in Scarborough under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits right at the national line, 3.84 nurse hours per resident day against a 3.86 average, with weekends running about 8% thinner than weekdays. Turnover lands at 47%, a touch above the 45.8% national figure. The current record carries 27 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was April 2025. Quality and staffing each earned 4 of 5 stars from CMS, while health inspections came in at 3. Nothing here looks dangerous; it looks ordinary, with a few soft spots worth asking about directly.

Hawthorne House runs a genuinely strong staffing floor, 5.56 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and the weekend dip is modest at roughly 7%. The catch is retention: 61.4% annual turnover means a large share of the people providing that care are new, and that matters for consistency even when the hours look good on paper. The 29 deficiencies on record carry no harm or jeopardy findings and nothing abuse-related, which is a meaningful distinction; most are the paperwork-and-process type. State inspectors were last in on May 1, 2025, so the picture is current. Corporate-owned and for-profit, mid-range on inspections and quality measures, strongest on staffing.

Durgin Pines sits in Kittery with 81 certified beds, run by a for-profit corporation. Nurse staffing runs 4.07 hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average, and weekend coverage dips only slightly below its own weekday levels, a modest gap, not a cliff. Staff turnover is 46.4%, essentially matching the national rate, meaning the workforce churns at the usual pace rather than a crisis one. The home's inspection record is its strongest feature: a 5/5 health inspection rating, 11 deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level, no abuse citations, and two fines totaling $14,434. Its last inspection was in March 2025. Quality measures sit mid-range at 3/5.

Marshwood Center runs 108 certified beds in Lewiston under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are its clearest strength: 3.98 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping only slightly below weekdays. Staff turnover of 33.6% is well under the national 45.8%, which matters for whether caregivers actually stick around long enough to know residents. The current record shows 29 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection came March 18, 2026, so the picture is recent rather than stale. Where it gives ground is inspections, rated 3 out of 5, while quality measures and staffing each sit at 4.

Seaside Healthcare in Portland runs a 147-bed for-profit operation that, on paper, staffs better than most. Its 4.34 nurse hours per resident day sit about 12% above the national average, though weekends run roughly 9% lighter than weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays. Turnover is 46.9%, nearly identical to the national 45.8%, so consistency at the bedside is average, not exceptional. The inspection record shows 22 deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the last survey was recent, in November 2025. A four-star inspection rating backs that up. The quality measure score is the softer spot at three stars.

Pinnacle Health & Rehab At South Portland runs 73 certified beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and the staffing numbers are the strongest part of the picture. At 4.06 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 5% above the national average, though weekend coverage dips roughly 6% below its own weekday level, worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays. Staff turnover of 41.7% is better than the 45.8% national figure but still means a lot of faces changing over a year. The 25 deficiencies on record include none tied to harm, jeopardy, or abuse, and the most recent inspection was September 17, 2025.

Coastal Manor in Yarmouth runs on 4.41 nurse hours per resident per day, about 14% above the national average, and that staffing shows up as the strongest part of its record. Weekends slip roughly 7% below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 46.5%, essentially even with the national figure, meaning the hands-on coverage is real but not especially stable. What pulls the rest down is the inspection history: 42 deficiencies on the current record, including one abuse-related citation and zero at the harm or jeopardy level, with the latest inspection in December 2025. For-profit corporate ownership, 39 beds, and a two-star health inspection rating against four stars for staffing.
