- Nurse hours
- 3.74 /day

- 30%

- 0
Hillsborough County Nursing Home runs 300 beds as a county-owned home, and its record is unusually clean for a building that size: nine deficiencies total, none of them causing harm or jeopardy, and nothing abuse-related. The last inspection was recent, so that picture isn't stale. Staffing is the one spot worth watching, 3.74 nurse hours per resident day sits just under the national average, and weekends run roughly 11% thinner than weekdays, which is when families tend to visit and notice. What offsets that is retention: turnover of 30.1% is well below the national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents largely stay. For a family weighing a large county facility, the steady workforce and clean inspection history matter more than the slight staffing dip.

Riverside Rest Home is county-owned, that matters here, because government-run homes often get less attention than chains but this one holds up on the numbers. Total nurse staffing sits at 4.30 hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average, and the 5/5 staffing rating reflects that. Turnover is the striking figure: 16.2% against a national average near 46%, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stay. Seven deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with a recent April 2026 inspection. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below weekday levels, worth knowing if you visit Saturdays.

Glencliff Home for the Elderly runs on one of the steadiest nursing staffs you'll find. It's a state-run facility in Grafton County with 130 certified beds, and its 4.23 nurse hours per resident day sit about 9% above the national average. Turnover is the real standout: 13.9% a year, against a national average near 46%. That kind of retention usually means residents see the same faces month after month.
The tradeoff shows up in inspections. CMS gives the home a single star for health inspections, and there are 11 deficiencies on the current record, though none involved actual harm or jeopardy, and none were abuse-related. The last inspection was October 2025, so the picture is recent. Weekend staffing dips about 12% below weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits then.
Westmoreland, NH · Cheshire County

- 36%

Cheshire County Home runs on a county government budget, and the numbers suggest that arrangement is working. Nurse staffing sits at 4.49 hours per resident day, about 16 percent above the national average, and the federal staffing rating reflects it. Weekend coverage does dip roughly 8 percent below weekday levels, so ask about Saturday and Sunday shifts specifically. Staff turnover of 36.1 percent is meaningfully lower than the national 45.8 percent, which matters for whether your family sees the same faces month to month. The home's nine deficiencies include nothing tied to harm, jeopardy, or abuse, and its last inspection was recent, in September 2025. Quality measures score well too.
Boscawen, NH · Merrimack County
★★★☆☆CMS 3/5290 bedsGovernmentMedicaid

- 0
Merrimack County Nursing Home runs on one of the strongest staffing pictures you'll find, 4.74 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and its 34.4% turnover beats the 45.8% norm, which matters for whether your parent sees the same faces each week. Weekends thin out about 11% from weekday coverage, so ask how that gap gets filled. The caution is inspections: 12 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, with a $15,646 fine and a 2/5 inspection rating. A March 2026 inspection is recent, at least. County-run and 290 beds means you're dealing with a large public operator, not a chain. Staffing is the strength; the survey history is what to press on.
Laconia, NH · Belknap County

Belknap County Nursing Home runs on county money, and the staffing numbers show it: 4.96 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 29% above the national average, with a 5/5 CMS staffing rating and turnover at 31.9% against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Sundays. The current record holds four deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with an inspection dated September 2025. Where it slips is quality measures, rated 1/5, that's the number worth asking about directly.

Mountain View Community runs on county money, and the staffing shows it: 4.88 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter more than the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 6% below its own weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday afternoon. Turnover sits at 47.6%, a touch above the national 45.8%, which means new faces on the floor fairly often. The inspection record is the strongest part of the picture, six deficiencies, none at the harm level, none related to abuse, with a visit as recent as November 2025. Quality measures come in middle-of-the-road, so the clinical side isn't the differentiator here; the direct-care hours are.
North Haverhill, NH · Grafton County
★★☆☆☆CMS 2/5135 bedsGovernmentMedicaid
- Nurse hours

- n/a

Grafton County Nursing Home is county-owned, and the staffing numbers reflect that: 4.67 total nurse hours per resident day, roughly 21% above the national average. That's the strongest part of the picture. Weekends dip about 5% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out a bit then.
The inspection record is where it gets rockier. Twenty deficiencies are on file, three tied to abuse, though none reached the harm or jeopardy level. Its last inspection was April 2, 2026, so the record is recent. Federal ratings put health inspections and quality measures at 2 out of 5 each, with staffing at 3. If you're weighing this one, ask specifically about those three abuse-related findings and how weekends are covered.
West Stewartstown, NH · Coos County
★★★★★CMS 5/597 bedsGovernmentMedicaid
- Nurse hours
- 4.74 /day
- Staff turnover
- 45%
- Serious cites
- 0
Coos County Nursing Hospital in West Stewartstown is county-owned and runs on 4.74 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter more staffing than the national average. That shows up in its staffing star rating, though weekends dip about 15% below weekday levels, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week. Turnover sits at 45.3%, essentially matching the national rate, so this isn't a home bleeding staff.
What stands out is the inspection record: three deficiencies, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, and a survey as recent as October 2025. State inspectors clearly found little to flag. The weaker spot is the quality measure rating, which suggests outcomes like falls or antipsychotic use aren't tracking as well as the staffing and inspection picture would imply.
Brentwood, NH · Rockingham County
★★★★☆CMS 4/5226 bedsGovernmentMedicaid
- Nurse hours

- 56%
- Serious cites
- 0
Rockingham County Nursing Home runs on county government money, and the staffing numbers show it: 4.84 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter more than the national average. That's the kind of margin that matters on a Tuesday afternoon when someone needs help getting to the bathroom. The tradeoffs are real, though. Weekend coverage drops about 11% from weekday levels, and 56.3% annual turnover means a good share of the people providing that care are still learning the building. Four deficiencies on the current record, none involving harm or abuse, with an inspection as recent as August 2025. The quality measure score sits at 2 out of 5, so clinical outcomes don't track as well as the raw staffing strength suggests.
Berlin, NH · Coos County
★★☆☆☆CMS 2/5100 bedsGovernmentMedicaid
- Nurse hours

- Staff turnover
- 51%

Coos County Nursing Home in Berlin runs on county money, and the staffing reflects that: 4.93 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 28% above the national figure. Weekends drop about 14% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover sits at 50.9%, higher than the 45.8% national average, meaning a good share of the people caring for residents are still learning the building. Inspections tell a mixed story, 11 deficiencies on record, none at the harm level, but three tied to abuse, with the last survey in February 2026. The county's investment in direct care is real; the consistency and safety record are where the gaps show.
Unity, NH · Sullivan County
★★★★☆CMS 4/5156 bedsGovernmentMedicaid
- Nurse hours
- 5.56 /day
- Staff turnover
- 48%
- Serious cites
- 0
Sullivan County Health Care is county-owned and carries 156 certified beds, and the county has clearly put money into nursing staff, 5.56 hours per resident day runs about 44% above the national average, with weekends dipping only slightly below weekdays. Inspections back that up: a four-star health inspection rating and a visit as recent as December 2025. The weaker signals sit elsewhere. Ten deficiencies are on the current record, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus a $16,153 fine. Annual turnover of 48.1% edges past the national 45.8%, and the two-star quality measure rating suggests resident outcomes aren't matching the staffing investment.
