Pheasant Wood Center runs 99 certified beds in Peterborough under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are where your attention should go first. At 3.25 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 16 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 10 percent below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot: 35.8 percent against a national 45.8 percent, meaning aides and nurses stick around longer than is typical. The inspection record shows 21 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but two tied to abuse, and CMS rated the last inspection two stars. Quality measures scored well; staffing and inspections did not.

Edgewood Centre runs 156 certified beds in Portsmouth under for-profit corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.46 hours per resident day, roughly 10 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 6 percent below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Staff turnover lands at 46.2 percent, essentially matching the national rate of 45.8 percent, meaning nearly half the nursing team turns over in a year. The current record shows 14 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in June 2025. Federal ratings put staffing at 2 out of 5 stars, with inspection and quality measures at 3 each.

Maple Leaf runs lean on nursing hours: 2.91 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly a quarter below. Weekend coverage dips about 8% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest shifts come when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 40.4%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is the strongest part of the picture, a recent March 2026 survey, seven deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. A for-profit LLC operates its 114 beds. What you'd want to weigh is whether that staffing level matches what your relative needs, especially on weekends.

Elm Wood Center runs 68 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing is the number to sit with: 3.18 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly 18 percent below. Weekends dip about 11 percent below its own weekday coverage, and 51 percent of staff turned over in the past year, above the 45.8 percent national figure, so the people on the floor keep changing. The health inspection record shows 29 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one tied to abuse. State inspectors were last in on August 1, 2025. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspections don't.

Ridgewood Center runs 150 certified beds in Bedford under Genesis Healthcare, a for-profit limited liability company. Nurse staffing sits at 3.27 hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday levels. Turnover is 38%, better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is where the concern concentrates: 14 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with a $15,646 fine and a 2/5 health inspection star, though the most recent inspection was in February 2026. Staffing scores 4/5 by CMS's own measure, quality measures 3/5.

Harris Hill Center runs about 12% thinner on nursing hours than the national average, and weekends get thinner still, roughly 14% below what the home staffs on weekdays. That gap matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when families often visit and problems can sit longer. Annual turnover of 50.7% means more than half the nursing staff leaves each year, against a national rate near 46%. Sixteen deficiencies sit on the current record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none are abuse-related; the single fine totals $15,646. The last inspection was in April 2026, so the record is reasonably fresh. Corporate for-profit ownership, 85 beds, and a staffing rating reflecting those numbers.

Weekends dip about 11% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is 41.7%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The current record shows 12 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated March 12, 2026. CMS gave 2 of 5 stars for health inspections but 3 for quality measures and 3 for staffing.

Wolfeboro Bay Center runs 104 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nursing hours land at 3.55 per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 7% below the home's own weekday staffing, so coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 45.1%, essentially matching the national rate. The inspection record shows 20 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though four are abuse-related, a category worth asking about directly. The last inspection was April 2026, so the record is current. CMS gives 3 stars for health inspections, 2 for quality measures, and 4 for staffing. The staffing number looks strong on paper, but the quality measure score and those abuse citations are what pull the overall picture down.

Rochester Manor runs a 108-bed operation as a for-profit LLC, and nurse staffing sits around 3.2 hours per resident day, roughly 17% below the national figure, with weekends dropping another 12% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover runs lower than the national average, which helps, but the inspection record is the real concern: 15 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse. The most recent inspection came in June 2025. All three CMS star categories land at 2 out of 5. If you're weighing this one, ask specifically about weekend nurse coverage and how the abuse-related findings were resolved.

Oceanside Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation runs 117 certified beds in Hampton under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.15 hours per resident day, roughly 19 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 13 percent below what the home itself staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot at 23.7 percent, well under the 45.8 percent national figure. What offsets that is the inspection record: 17 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a single $14,521 fine. The most recent inspection was January 29, 2026.

Jaffrey Rehabilitation and Nursing Center runs on thinner nurse staffing than most homes nationally, about 3.41 hours per resident day against a 3.86 average, and weekends dip roughly 6% below its own weekday level, so coverage is lightest exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 21 deficiencies, one of them abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was May 2026. Turnover at 39.7% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, which tells you something is keeping some staff around. With 83 beds under individual for-profit ownership, this is a home where the staffing and inspection numbers deserve a hard look before you decide.

Birch Healthcare Center runs about 3.52 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average, and weekends dip another 7% below its own weekday numbers. That thin coverage shows up in its staffing rating, and turnover sits at 47.6%, a bit above the national rate, so the aides and nurses working these shifts keep changing. Inspections tell a mixed story: ten deficiencies on record, including one involving actual harm and one abuse-related, plus a $10,655 fine, though the most recent inspection came in September 2025 and the quality measures score well above average. It's a for-profit limited liability company with 79 beds.

Colonial Poplin runs a 50-bed for-profit home in Fremont, and the inspection record is genuinely its strong suit: a four-star health inspection rating, only two deficiencies on file, none of them involving harm or abuse, and a survey completed just this April. Staffing is where the picture shifts. At 3.63 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 6 percent under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 11 percent below its own weekday coverage. Annual turnover of 61.5 percent is well above the 45.8 percent national figure, which means the people caring for residents keep changing. For a family weighing a visit, ask how the weekend shift is actually covered.

Derry Center for Rehabilitation and Healthcare runs 62 certified beds in Derry, under for-profit individual ownership. Its nurse staffing sits at 3.12 hours per resident day, roughly 19 percent under the national average of 3.86, that gap is the main thing driving its lowest CMS star rating. Weekends thin out further, about 13 percent below its own weekday level, so coverage is lightest exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover lands at 41.5 percent, a bit better than the 45.8 percent national figure, so the people who stay appear to stick around. The home carries 12 deficiencies on its current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and its last inspection was December 11, 2025.

Nashua Post Acute Care runs 290 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers are the first thing to notice: 3.02 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage slips about 13 percent below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 48.3 percent, higher than the 45.8 percent national figure. The inspection record shows 29 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, though none at the harm or jeopardy level. A recent inspection in November 2025 and a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating round out the picture. Families should ask directly how the home covers weekends and what it's doing about retention.

Lafayette Center is a 72-bed for-profit home in Franconia, and the numbers behind its record are worth walking through slowly. Nurse staffing sits at 3.58 hours per resident per day, about 7% under the national average, and it thins out further on weekends. Staff turnover runs near 55%, well above the national figure, and CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of problems. The current inspection record shows 29 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus a $50,164 fine and a one-star health inspection rating. A May 2025 inspection is recent, so the picture reflects current conditions rather than old ones.

Staff turnover

Fairview Nursing Home sits just barely above the national average for nurse staffing, 3.92 hours per resident day against 3.86, but that thin margin comes with a catch: weekends run roughly 8% leaner than weekdays, so the coverage your family sees on a Tuesday may not be what shows up on a Sunday. The bigger number to sit with is turnover: 97.1% of staff leaving in a year, more than double the national rate of 45.8%, which means the aides and nurses caring for residents are, on average, still learning the building. Its inspection record shows 16 deficiencies, including two tied to abuse, and a one-star health inspection rating, though none of the current citations reached the level of actual harm or jeopardy.

Exeter Center runs 81 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are where your attention should go first. At 3.39 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 12% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 7% below its own weekday coverage. That thinner weekend schedule matters because nurse turnover is 49.2%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, so familiar faces are harder to count on. The inspection record shows 12 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus a single fine of $28,912. No abuse-related citations appear. Its last inspection was April 30, 2026, so the record is current. Nothing here is alarming on its own, but the staffing shortfall and turnover together are the pattern worth asking about directly.

Alpine Healthcare Center runs 85 beds in Keene under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.14 hours per resident day, roughly 19% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 10% below the home's own weekday numbers, and turnover lands at 47.8%, a bit above the national 45.8%. The inspection record carries 21 deficiencies, four tied to abuse, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level. CMS gave it one star each for health inspections and staffing, two for quality measures, and the state last visited in June 2025. What stands out is staffing: consistently thin, thinner on weekends, with a workforce cycling through faster than average.

The Elms Center runs on 3.02 nurse hours per resident day, well under the national figure of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops about 12% below its own weekday level. That thin staffing shows up in the numbers: 64% of staff turned over in the past year against a national 45.8%, and CMS gives the home its lowest mark, 1 star, for staffing. Inspections look steadier, a 3 for health and 3 for quality measures, with the most recent visit in February 2026, but 19 deficiencies sit on record, one serious enough to cause harm, plus a $9,770 fine. It's a for-profit LLC with 52 beds, so the question is whether staffing improves or the pattern holds.
