Premier Rehab And Healthcare At Berlin runs 115 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing number that looks fine at first glance, 3.91 nurse hours per resident day, barely above the national average of 3.86, hides a rougher reality. Weekend staffing drops about 12% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 72.9% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents this year won't be there next year. The inspection record is the harder part: 67 deficiencies, 9 serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, 7 tied to abuse, and $307,847 in fines across three actions. CMS gave it 2 out of 5 stars for health inspections, 2 for staffing, and 1 for quality measures.

Special Focus Facility

Barre Gardens is a 96-bed for-profit partnership home in Washington County, and the numbers behind its record are hard to read past. Nurse staffing sits at 3.49 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, and weekends run about 9% thinner than weekdays, and that staffing is being delivered by an unstable workforce, with annual turnover near 79% against a national average closer to 46%. The inspection record is what stands out most: 53 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and $142,045 in fines, all serious enough that CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program. Its most recent inspection was June 25, 2025.
