Staff turnover

Lakeview House runs on 4.19 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, and its staff retention is unusually strong for the industry, 20.8% turnover against a national average near 46%. The tradeoff shows up on weekends, when staffing drops about 19% below the home's own weekday levels. Inspectors logged 12 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related; the most recent inspection was July 30, 2025, so the record is current. A 4/5 inspection rating and 4/5 quality measures round out a picture of a for-profit corporate home that is well-staffed on paper and mostly clean in practice, with the abuse citation and weekend dip worth asking about directly.

Queen Anne Nursing Home in Hingham runs on steady staffing: 3.99 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, though weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday levels. The number that stands out is turnover, 25.3% against a national average near 46%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay. State inspectors visited in June 2025 and logged 21 deficiencies, none at the level of harm or jeopardy and none related to abuse. Ownership is a for-profit partnership. The trade-off is ordinary and worth naming: a smaller, stable crew with weekend gaps, paired with a clean recent inspection record. Ask about weekend coverage specifically.

Life Care Center of the South Shore runs about 3.97 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, though weekends dip roughly 12% below its own weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family visits mostly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 40%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether you see the same faces month to month. The inspection record is genuinely strong: a 5/5 health inspection rating, 20 deficiencies on file but none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in March 2025. Corporate for-profit ownership, 117 beds.

Reservoir Center runs 144 beds in Marlborough under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.95 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, though weekends dip roughly 10% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover is where it separates itself: 33.6% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning fewer unfamiliar faces than at the typical home. Twenty-eight deficiencies appear on the current record, but none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with a single fine of $3,145 and an inspection dated January 2026. CMS gives it 4 stars each for staffing and quality measures, 3 for health inspections.

Renaissance Manor On Cabot runs a little leaner than the typical American nursing home, 3.76 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 15% below what the home staffs on weekdays. So if you're visiting on a Saturday, expect fewer hands on deck than midweek. What stands out instead is stability: turnover here is 34.5%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters because familiar aides tend to notice changes in a resident sooner. The inspection record is recent, clean at the harm level, and free of abuse findings, with 22 total deficiencies of the lower-level paperwork and process variety. A for-profit LLC with 61 beds and strong quality measure scores.

St Patrick's Manor runs 333 beds in Framingham under corporate ownership, and its staffing is genuinely a bright spot: 4.09 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% above the national average, with turnover at 30.1% against a national 45.8%. Weekends thin out roughly 10% below weekday coverage, which is worth asking about if your family visits then. The concern sits in inspections. Twenty-three deficiencies are on the current record, four serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with $33,157 in fines across three penalties. The most recent inspection was May 2026. Strong daily care hours and relatively stable staff, weighed against a troubling inspection history.

Life Care Center of the North Shore runs 123 certified beds in Lynn under corporate, for-profit ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 3.75 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and weekends run roughly 14 percent thinner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family tends to visit Saturday or Sunday. What stands out is retention: turnover of 19.8 percent is well below the national 45.8 percent, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stay. The current record shows 18 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was March 19, 2026.

Liberty Commons runs on 4.68 nurse hours per resident day, about 21% above the national average, and that staffing level is the main reason it lands where it does. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops roughly 17% below its own weekday pace. Turnover sits at 40.7%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether care stays consistent. Inspections are the weak spot: a 2/5 health inspection rating, 16 deficiencies on record, one tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. The most recent inspection was January 9, 2026, so the picture is current. For-profit corporate ownership, 132 beds.

Cambridge Rehabilitation & Nursing Center runs 83 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers here are mostly steady rather than standout. Nurse staffing sits at 3.54 hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 6% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot: 33.8% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses you meet are more likely to still be there next year. Inspections in June 2025 turned up 22 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two were abuse-related.

Life Care Center Of Nashoba Valley runs on 4.22 nurse hours per resident day, about 9% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 38.5% sits below the national 45.8%, both signs of a steadier operation than most. Weekend staffing drops roughly 13% from weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The record shows 15 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, worth a direct question. Inspectors were last in on August 14, 2025. For-profit, LLC-owned, 120 beds.

Pope Nursing Home runs a 49-bed for-profit outfit in Weymouth with staffing that beats the national average, 4.14 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86, and turnover at 32.5% is notably better than the 45.8% typical elsewhere. Weekend coverage, though, drops about 11% below its own weekday level, so care can thin out when families visit. The tradeoff shows up in inspections: 23 deficiencies on the current record, including one abuse-related citation, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the last state visit was April 2025. Ownership is corporate, and the health inspection rating sits at 2 out of 5 even as staffing scores 4. Ask about weekend coverage and that abuse citation specifically.

Abbott Skilled Nursing runs 55 beds in Lynn under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers tell a story of steady hands rather than flashy ones. Nurse staffing sits at 3.63 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 19 percent below weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. What stands out is turnover at 23.1 percent, about half the national rate, which suggests people actually stay. Inspections in May 2025 produced 21 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though four were abuse-related, a category you should ask about directly. Recent inspections and solid marks on health, quality, and staffing round it out.

Life Care Center Of Leominster runs 4.02 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, so direct care time is not the problem here. The catch is weekends, when staffing drops roughly 12% below its own weekday level, that gap matters if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover sits at 42.9%, slightly better than the national figure but still four in ten staff leaving in a year. The current record shows 20 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly.

Turnover sits at 31.4%, well below the national 45.8%, so the staff who are there tend to stay. The tradeoff shows up in the inspection record: 24 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, though the most recent inspection was April 2025 and CMS rated the health inspection side 4 out of 5.

Ledgewood runs on a corporate for-profit model with 123 beds, and its staffing sits just under the national mark, 3.75 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86. That's close enough that the bigger story is weekends, when coverage drops roughly 11% below the home's own weekday level. Turnover is the genuine bright spot: 24.1% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the people who care for your family member tend to stay. Fourteen deficiencies are on record with none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related and worth asking about directly. The most recent inspection was August 2025, so the picture is current.

The Highlands sits at 168 certified beds in Fitchburg, run by a for-profit limited liability company, and its staffing comes in at 3.86 nurse hours per resident day, essentially identical to the national average, so there's no extra cushion of care here. Weekend coverage drops about 12% below its own weekday levels, a gap worth asking about if your family visits or needs help on Saturdays and Sundays. The stronger signals: staff turnover is 24.8%, well under the national 45.8%, and 17 deficiencies on record include none tied to harm, jeopardy, or abuse, with the state in as recently as November 2025.

Devereux runs 3.72 nursing hours per resident day, a bit under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday coverage. That's a real gap if your family visits Saturdays and Sundays. The stronger numbers are elsewhere: turnover at 28.6% sits well under the 45.8% national figure, and inspections from July 2025 produced 18 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one was abuse-related, worth asking about directly. At 64 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, you're looking at a small, recently inspected home with stable staff and a thin staffing margin.

Sterling Village runs 143 certified beds out of a for-profit partnership, and the numbers are steadier than most. Total nurse staffing sits at 3.67 hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national 3.86, so it's not a home that leans on extra hands, though the 28% annual turnover is well below the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether you see the same faces month to month. Weekend coverage dips about 12% against its own weekdays, so a Saturday visit may look different from a Tuesday. Twelve deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a December 2025 inspection behind that.

The Pavilion in Hyannis runs a for-profit operation with 82 certified beds, and its staffing sits at 4.22 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average of 3.86. That edge narrows on weekends, which run about 11% leaner than weekdays, something to ask about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover lands at 32.9%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests people tend to stay. On the inspection side, four deficiencies are on record with none at harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related; the most recent survey was June 17, 2025. Both health inspection and quality measure ratings come in at 5 out of 5, while staffing earns a 3.

Life Care Center Of West Bridgewater runs a tight operation on the clinical side. The health inspection record is clean at the 5-star level, with 11 deficiencies cited and none involving harm, jeopardy, or abuse, and the last survey was recent, from November 2025, so that picture is current. Nurse staffing sits at 3.83 hours per resident day, a hair under the national average, and weekends drop about 14% below weekday coverage, which is the kind of gap families feel on Sunday afternoons. Turnover at 34% is meaningfully better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for your relative are more likely to stick around. Corporate ownership, 150 beds. The weak spot is consistency of coverage, not quality of care.
