Staff turnover

Pinnacle Health & Rehab At N Berwick runs 64 beds in York County, owned by an individual for profit. Its staffing sits right at the national average, 3.85 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationwide, though weekends fall about 12% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins when families tend to visit. Turnover is 38.1%, better than the 45.8% national figure. On inspections, the record is strong: a 5/5 health inspection rating, 12 deficiencies total, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in January 2026. The weaker spot is quality measures at 2/5.

Brewer Center for Health & Rehabilitation runs a for-profit operation with 111 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.75 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average. That's a meaningful cushion, though weekend coverage drops about 10% from weekday levels, so families should ask how that gap gets filled. Staff turnover is 51%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. On inspections, the home holds a 4-out-of-5 star rating from CMS, and its 30 deficiencies include none at the harm or jeopardy level and none related to abuse. The most recent inspection was April 30, 2026.

Ross Manor runs on 4.34 nurse hours per resident per day, about 12% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 27.3% sits well below the 45.8% national figure, a sign people tend to stay. Weekends thin out roughly 9% from weekday coverage, worth knowing if your visits land on Saturdays. The tradeoffs show up elsewhere: 38 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus an $8,018 fine. Quality measures rate low even as staffing rates high, and the last inspection was April 2025.

Pinnacle Health & Rehab At Sanford runs on a corporate for-profit model with 86 certified beds, and its staffing sits at 3.98 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86. Turnover is 41.9%, lower than the typical 45.8%, though weekend coverage dips roughly 6% below weekday levels. The inspection record is clean where it matters most: 12 deficiencies total, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey from February 2025. Quality measures earn a middling three stars while staffing and health inspections rate higher, so the home looks solidly managed on paper without being flawless.

Eastside Center runs 4.23 nurse hours per resident day, about 9% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 37% beats the 45.8% national figure, both signs of a stable floor. Weekend coverage, though, dips roughly 9% below its own weekday levels, so care may thin out when families visit. The trouble sits in inspections: 33 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, with a $11,190 fine and a two-star health inspection rating despite strong marks for staffing and quality measures. A recent April 2026 inspection means the record is current, not stale.

Hibbard runs a 93-bed for-profit home in Dover Foxcroft, and its staffing is the strongest part of the picture: 4.17 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% above the national average. That helps offset weekends, when coverage drops roughly 16% below the home's own weekday level. Turnover sits at 46.1%, essentially the national rate of 45.8%, no better, no worse, and worth asking about, since steady caregivers matter more than raw hours. The inspection record is where the concern lies: 44 deficiencies on file, including one abuse-related finding, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. Maine's most recent visit was June 5, 2025. Ask to see the plan of correction for that abuse citation.

Montello Manor is a 37-bed for-profit home in Lewiston, and the numbers point in two directions at once. Nurse staffing runs 4.18 hours per resident day, about 8% above the national average, but weekends drop roughly 15% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage depends on when you visit. The bigger concern is the inspection record: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 39 deficiencies on file including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a $14,518 fine. Staff turnover of 51.9% tops the national 45.8% average, meaning caregivers cycle through steadily. That combination is what keeps the overall grade at a C despite solid staffing numbers.

Aroostook Health Center in Mars Hill runs on unusually heavy nurse staffing, 4.95 hours per resident per day, roughly 28% above the national average, which is the main reason it lands where it does. Weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out some when you visit on a Saturday, but the baseline is strong, and there are no abuse-related or harm-level deficiencies on record. What keeps it from scoring higher is the other side of the ledger: a 1/5 inspection rating and a 1/5 quality measure rating, with 31 deficiencies total. The most recent inspection was in December 2025, and the for-profit LLC ownership structure is worth asking about directly.

Lakewood runs a for-profit operation with 105 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.93 hours per resident day, just a hair above the national figure of 3.86. That thin margin matters less when you see weekends run about 9% leaner than weekdays, so coverage isn't steady across the week. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 51 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. State inspectors were last in on December 11, 2025, and the health inspection and quality measure ratings both land at 2 out of 5 stars. If you're weighing this one, ask specifically how weekend coverage and the abuse-related findings have been addressed since that visit.

Harbor Hill Center runs 4.57 nurse hours per resident day, about 18% above the national average of 3.86, but weekends dip roughly 12% below its own weekday staffing, so coverage isn't as steady as the headline number suggests. Staff turnover sits at 46.7%, essentially right at the national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents change over about as fast as they do anywhere. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 39 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a two-star health inspection rating. A January 2026 inspection is recent, so that record is current, not stale.

Sedgewood Commons runs 91 certified beds in Falmouth under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.93 hours per resident day, modestly above the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 5% below its own weekday levels. That staffing picture earned a 4-out-of-5 CMS staffing star, and the home's 53.5% annual turnover does run hotter than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. Its current record shows 28 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated June 2025. Health inspection and quality measure stars each landed at 3 out of 5, so the picture is steady rather than standout.

Madigan Estates sits in Houlton with 99 certified beds and a for-profit corporate owner. Nurse staffing runs 3.95 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and the 42.6% turnover rate is slightly better than typical, though weekend coverage drops about 8% below weekday levels. Inspections are recent, from May 2025, and the health inspection rating is strong at 4 out of 5. The quality measure rating, though, is 2 out of 5, and the record shows 25 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and five related to abuse. One fine totaling $11,450 has been levied.

Nurse staffing at this Machias home looks solid on paper, 3.87 hours per resident day, right at the national average of 3.86, and the 5/5 staffing star reflects that. Retention is genuinely good: 29.1% turnover against a national 45.8%. The trouble sits elsewhere. Thirty deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, with a single fine of $10,358. Weekend staffing runs about 7% below weekday levels. CMS rates the quality measures 1 out of 5, which drags against the strong staffing score, and a June 2025 inspection is recent enough to matter. The B reflects a home that keeps its workers but has recurring problems on the care side.

Breakwater Commons runs a for-profit shop under an LLC, with 96 certified beds in Rockland. The nurse staffing number is genuinely good, 4.89 hours per resident day, roughly 27% above the national average, but weekends dip about 7% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage isn't uniform across the week. The harder issue is turnover: 68.4% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning most of the people providing that care are relatively new to the building. Add a 2-out-of-5 inspection rating, 57 deficiencies on the current record including 5 tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $11,998, and you have a home where the day-to-day staffing hours look strong on paper while the inspection history and workforce churn raise real questions worth asking about directly.

Ledgewood Manor runs about 4.04 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 5% above the national average, though weekends dip about 6% below what the home staffs during the week. The current record shows 33 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related citation, which matters more than a three-star inspection rating suggests. Ownership is for-profit and individual, and the last inspection was February 2025, so the record is recent. If you're considering this home, ask directly how the abuse finding was resolved and what weekend coverage actually looks like on the floor.

Cummings Health Care Facility runs 34 beds in Howland, and its nurse staffing comes in at 4.10 hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average. That number is doing real work here, because weekends dip about 7% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the margin over average shrinks when you need it most. The inspection record shows 29 deficiencies, one of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none involve abuse; a single fine of $8,824 rounds that out. The last state visit was June 2025, so the picture is current. A for-profit corporation owns it. Federal staffing stars sit at 2 out of 5 despite the raw hours, worth asking why.

Sandy River Center runs 82 certified beds in Farmington under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.44 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 5% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 46.1%, essentially tracking the national 45.8%, which means the same churn pressures show up here as almost everywhere else. What stands out is the inspection record: 47 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a $14,069 fine, with the most recent survey completed in September 2025. No abuse citations appear on the current record.

Borderview runs a high-staffing operation for a 27-bed home, 5.32 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national average, and its most recent inspection in May 2025 came back clean at the harm level, with no abuse citations among its 14 deficiencies. That staffing edge has a soft spot, though: weekends run about 12 percent leaner than weekdays, and 57.4 percent annual turnover means the people delivering those hours keep changing. The quality measure score sits at 2 out of 5, which is worth asking about directly, since it reflects how residents are actually doing day to day, not how many staff are scheduled.

High View Rehabilitation and Living Center runs on decent nurse hours, 4.09 per resident day, about 6% above the national average, so you might assume staffing carries the place. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops roughly 12% below what the home staffs on weekdays, and turnover sits at 49%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. Inspections are where the picture darkens: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 32 deficiencies on record with 4 serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and $17,917 in fines. CMS has placed this for-profit home in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of trouble.

Maplecrest runs 58 beds in Madison under corporate ownership, and its staffing is the one number that holds up: 3.95 nurse hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, with a 4-out-of-5 staffing rating to match. Turnover is the catch, 50.9% of staff leave each year, and weekend coverage drops about 8% below the home's own weekday levels, so the hours you see on paper aren't always the hours on the floor. Inspections tell the harder story: 41 deficiencies on record, including two tied to abuse, and a 2-out-of-5 inspection rating. Quality measures sit at 1 out of 5. The most recent inspection was July 2025, so the record is current.
