Manokin Nursing and Rehab runs 135 certified beds in Princess Anne under corporate ownership, and the numbers here deserve a careful look. Nurse staffing sits at 3.22 hours per resident day, roughly 17 percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 11 percent below the home's own weekday coverage. Turnover at 34.4 percent is actually better than the national 45.8 percent, so the problem isn't retention; it's how many hands are on deck each shift.
The inspection record is where things get serious. Ninety-one deficiencies, including five at the harm or jeopardy level and nine tied to abuse. Two fines total $187,010, and CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the most persistently troubled homes. Given a September 2025 inspection, ask directly what's changed since.
Elkton Nursing and Rehabilitation Center carries a one-star health inspection rating, and the record behind it is heavy: 142 deficiencies, three of them at the level where residents were actually harmed, plus seven tied to abuse. CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for the small share of homes with a persistent pattern of serious problems. Staffing sits about 8% under the national average, weekends run roughly 10% thinner than weekdays, and turnover lands at 46.2%, essentially the national rate. Ownership is for-profit, through a limited liability company. Three fines totaling $31,134 are on file, and the most recent inspection was October 9, 2025.
Pine Knoll runs on 3.39 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 12 percent under the national average, and weekend staffing drops about 5 percent below what it manages on weekdays, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit and when fewer eyes are watching. The inspection record backs that up: 82 deficiencies, 12 of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, 4 tied to abuse, and $568,747 in federal fines across three events. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of poor care. The most recent inspection was March 2026.
Saugus Center is a for-profit LLC with 80 certified beds, and the numbers that stand out most are on the inspection side. Sixty-six deficiencies sit on its current record, six of them serious enough to cause harm or put residents in jeopardy, plus two tied to abuse. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for homes with a pattern of persistent problems, and there's $65,946 in fines across two penalties. Staffing runs about 3.17 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average, though turnover at 30% is actually better than the 45.8% norm. The last inspection was June 2025.
The Gardens At Country runs 86 certified beds in Swansea under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.36 hours per resident day, roughly 13 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 5 percent below what the home provides on weekdays, so the thinnest shifts get even thinner. The inspection record is the harder read: 58 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, and four fines totaling $24,635, with the most recent inspection in June 2025. All three CMS star categories, health inspections, quality measures, staffing, land at 1 out of 5. If you're weighing this one, ask specifically how weekends and abuse-prevention training are handled.
Brandon Woods of New Bedford has more nursing hours per resident than the typical home, 4.35 a day against a national average of 3.86, but that staffing edge comes with a catch: weekends run about 11% thinner than weekdays, and nearly half the nursing staff turns over each year. The inspection record is the real problem. Eighty deficiencies are on file, including eight at the harm or jeopardy level and ten tied to abuse, with one fine totaling $464,490. CMS has placed this for-profit, individually owned home in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the country's most persistently troubled nursing homes. The last inspection was December 16, 2024.
Plymouth Harborside is a 101-bed for-profit home that CMS has placed in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the homes with the most persistent problems. The numbers behind that: 58 deficiencies on the current record, 9 of them at the harm or jeopardy level, plus 2 abuse-related citations and six fines totaling $359,529. Staffing sits at 3.56 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 12% thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover is 52.1%. Both its health inspection and quality measure ratings come in at 1 out of 5 stars. If you're considering this home, ask pointed questions about the care plan and who's actually on the floor on Saturdays.
Mill Town Health and Rehabilitation runs on thin staffing: 3.10 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekends drop another 8% below its own weekday level. That's the kind of gap families feel on a Saturday afternoon when a call light goes unanswered. The inspection record is heavier still, 61 deficiencies, five serious enough to put residents in harm's way, seven tied to abuse, and $239,585 in fines against a for-profit LLC. Staff turnover sits at 52.8%, so the people caring for your relative are often new and still learning the building. If you're considering this one, ask hard questions about weekend coverage and how they've fixed the abuse findings.
Norwood Healthcare runs 170 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers pull in opposite directions. Its nurse staffing sits about 10% under the national average, though turnover at 25% is well below the 45.8% national figure, and weekend coverage dips roughly 9% below its own weekday levels. The bigger problem is the inspection record: 68 deficiencies, seven at harm or jeopardy level, five abuse-related, and six fines totaling $190,588. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of poor care. A recent inspection date doesn't offset that history.
Regalcare At Wakefield carries 42 deficiencies on its current record, five of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, and two tied to abuse. That's the number a family should weigh hardest, because a single star for health inspections means the state has found repeated problems across recent surveys, not one bad day. Staffing earns a single star too, so the people doing the hands-on care are stretched thin. The one bright spot is turnover: 30.2% of staff left last year against a national average near 46%, which suggests some consistency in who's showing up. But stable staff in a building with this inspection history doesn't erase what inspectors documented. The $63,843 fine and a survey dated just weeks ago tell you oversight here is active, not resolved.
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.
Regency At Jackson runs on 2.84 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 14% below its own weekday staffing, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 79 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level, and 14 tied to abuse. A single fine of $15,593 and a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating sit alongside 1 out of 5 for staffing, even as quality measures rate 3. That gap matters, the care processes may look average on paper, but the hands available to deliver them and the survey history tell a different story.
Medilodge Of Sault Ste. Marie runs about 3.62 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 6% under the national average, and weekends drop about 16% below its own weekday numbers. That matters because the home carries 73 deficiencies on its current record, including 8 at the harm or jeopardy level and 12 tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $65,403. Staff turnover sits at 50.6%, higher than the 45.8% national average. CMS gave it a 1 out of 5 on health inspections and placed it in the Special Focus Facility program; its most recent inspection was February 2026. It's a for-profit limited liability company. The quality measure star is a 4, but the inspection record is where the real story is.
Medilodge Of Farmington runs 4.92 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national average, but that staffing cushion hasn't kept the home out of trouble. Its inspection record shows 92 deficiencies, including 13 tied to abuse and 7 serious enough to put residents in harm's way, and CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of poor care. Six fines total $277,531. Weekend staffing drops about 18% below weekday levels, meaning the weakest coverage lands when families are most likely to visit. Turnover sits at 45.6%, roughly the national rate, so the staff you meet may not be there next year.
Alamo Nursing Home runs on thinner nurse coverage than most places, 3.44 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 13% below its own weekday staffing. That gap matters when you're the family deciding who checks on Mom on a Sunday. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 68 deficiencies on file, including 7 at the harm or jeopardy level and 6 tied to abuse, with a 1-star health inspection rating from CMS. Staff turnover sits at 57.4%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people providing care are frequently new. One fine totaling $18,274 has been levied. The quality measure stars look good on paper, but the inspection and staffing numbers tell a different story.
The Orchards at Three Rivers runs on 3.38 nursing hours per resident day, about 12% under the national average, and weekend coverage slips roughly another 10% below its own weekday level. That thin staffing sits alongside a 48.1% annual turnover rate, so the people caring for residents are often new and still learning the building. On inspections, CMS gives this home one star out of five, and its record carries 70 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse. The federal government has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the homes with the most persistent problems.
