How for-profit homes in Massachusetts compare
This group set against every nursing home in Massachusetts, from the current CMS release.
Medway Country Manor runs 3.24 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 16% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend staffing dips about 6% below what it manages on weekdays. The inspection record is the heavier issue: 67 deficiencies on file, seven at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, plus four CMS fines totaling $280,591. Turnover at 40.8% is actually a little better than the 45.8% national figure, and the last inspection was recent, in March 2026. But CMS has placed this home in its Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for a small share of homes with a persistent pattern of serious problems.
Regalcare At Taunton runs about 3.31 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 14% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 15% below its own weekday staffing. The current inspection record carries 36 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and four related to abuse, and the health inspection rating sits at 1 out of 5. Annual turnover is 48.7%, a few points above the national figure. This is a for-profit corporate home with 100 certified beds, last inspected May 13, 2025. If you're considering it, ask directly how the abuse-related citations were resolved and what weekend coverage looks like on the floor.
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.
Blaire House of Tewksbury runs 131 beds as a for-profit corporation, and the numbers behind its record are worth knowing before you visit. Nurse staffing sits at 3.24 hours per resident per day, roughly 16 percent under the national average, and it thins out further on weekends. Staff turnover is 50.8 percent a year against a 45.8 percent national figure, so the people caring for residents are changing often.
What stands out most is the inspection history: 70 deficiencies on the current record, including 8 tied to abuse and 2 serious enough to put residents in harm's way, plus $70,727 in fines. CMS has placed this home in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a pattern of persistent problems.
Salem Rehab Center runs on thinner staffing than most homes nationally, 3.62 nurse hours per resident day against an average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 9% below what the building manages on weekdays, so coverage is at its lightest exactly when families tend to visit. Roughly half the nursing staff turns over each year, a bit above the national rate, and the current inspection record carries 85 deficiencies, including 10 serious enough to put residents at risk of harm and 4 tied to abuse. Two fines totaling $252,785 have been levied, and the last inspection was September 2025.
Vantage Health & Rehab of New Bedford runs on 2.45 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a third below the national average, and weekends are thinner still, about 23% less coverage than weekdays. Staff turnover sits near 70%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people caring for residents are often new and still learning the building. The record shows 31 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus a $9,318 fine. Ownership is for-profit through a limited liability company, and the most recent inspection was in February 2026. Low staffing, high turnover, and a serious deficiency record usually travel together.
Oc Reading Center is a for-profit LLC home with 123 beds, and the numbers behind its record are worth walking through. Nurse staffing sits at 3.60 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 5% thinner than weekdays, so coverage is lightest exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover is 57.1% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The current inspection record carries 52 deficiencies, including 4 at harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse, plus a $54,360 fine. The most recent inspection was December 31, 2025.
Tremont runs about 2.95 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends are thinner still, about 9% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover sits at 40.6%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, but the staffing star rating is 2 out of 5 against a 4 out of 5 on health inspections, and the quality measure rating is 1 out of 5. There are 21 deficiencies on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, plus two fines totaling $285,936. The last inspection was February 2026. The inspection record looks solid; the daily staffing and quality numbers are where the concerns sit.
Oc Milford Gardens runs on 3.37 nurse hours per resident day, about 13 percent under the national average, and weekend coverage dips further below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 81.4 percent against a national figure near 46 percent, so most of the people caring for residents are new or on their way out. The current inspection record carries 27 deficiencies, three of them at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus a $148,051 fine. The most recent inspection was in early March 2026, so the record is recent, not stale.
Hadley Pointe runs on 3.12 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 14% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage sits behind a record of 48 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level and seven abuse-related, plus two fines totaling $85,596, with CMS placing the home in its Special Focus Facility program. Annual turnover of 70% is well above the 45.8% national average. The 154-bed for-profit corporation changed ownership within the past year, and the most recent inspection was January 17, 2025, with staffing and health inspection each landing a single star.
