Mclean Health Center runs on 5.12 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a third more than the national average of 3.86, and its weekend coverage holds close to weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 26.6% against a national average near 46%, which matters for how well aides know the residents in a 72-bed nonprofit home. The tradeoff is a longer deficiency record: 14 citations on file, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none abuse-related. Its last inspection was April 2025, and CMS gives it top marks for staffing and quality measures, with a 4 out of 5 on health inspections.

Jefferson House runs on 5.17 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a third more staffing than the typical American nursing home, and the weekend gap is only about 12% below weekdays, modest by industry standards. Staff turnover sits at 31%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers know residents' routines. The trade-off is a longer deficiency record: 25 citations on file, including two tied to abuse, though none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy. State inspectors last visited in January 2025. For a nonprofit home of 104 beds, the money is clearly going into the floor.

Southington Care Center runs on 4.72 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth more than the national average, and its staff turnover of 33.6% sits well under the 45.8% norm, two signs of a stable, well-resourced floor. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays. The record isn't spotless: 14 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy. A May 2024 inspection and top federal marks across health, quality, and staffing round out the picture.

Jerome Home runs on 5.68 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 47 percent more than the national average, and its staff tends to stay, turnover sits near 35 percent against a national figure closer to 46. Weekend coverage dips about 12 percent from weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. The tradeoff shows up in its record: 21 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and five tied to abuse, plus one fine of $8,018. The last inspection was February 2025, so the picture is recent. A nonprofit with strong staffing and a clean quality score, but those abuse-related citations are worth asking about directly.

St Joseph's Residence is a 25-bed nonprofit in Enfield, and the numbers behind its record are unusually steady. Nurse staffing runs 5.14 hours per resident day, roughly a third above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping only about 6% below weekdays, a small gap compared to what many homes show. Staff turnover sits at 13.8% against a national average near 46%, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents' routines. The home carries three deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and its last inspection was in March 2025. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, come in at five out of five.

Ridge Crest At Meadow Ridge runs on 4.93 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 28% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 27.9% sits well under the 45.8% norm, two numbers that tend to matter more than anything else in day-to-day care. The 59-bed home is owned by a for-profit limited liability company and was last inspected in March 2025, carrying 18 deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related and worth asking about directly. Weekend staffing dips about 7% below its own weekday level, a small but real gap if you're planning visits.

John L. Levitow Health Care Center is a state-run home in Rocky Hill with 125 certified beds, and its staffing numbers stand out: 5.61 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 45% above the national average. Turnover sits at 12%, well below the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. Weekend staffing drops about 11% from weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family visits then. The inspection record shows 15 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was in February 2025.

Livewell Connecticut runs a nonprofit home of 120 beds in Plantsville, and the numbers behind its record are steady rather than flashy. Nurse staffing sits at 4.78 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, and the weekend gap is small enough that care doesn’t drop off much when weekday administrators go home. Staff turnover of 30.4% is well under the national 45.8%, which matters because consistent aides know the residents. Nine deficiencies on the current record with none at the harm level and none abuse-related, plus a March 2025 inspection, points to a home that fixes problems before they escalate.

Seabury is a church-affiliated nonprofit in Bloomfield with 72 beds, and the numbers that stand out most are its staffing and its retention. Nurses provide 4.78 hours of care per resident each day, roughly a quarter more than the national average, and weekend coverage dips only about 10% below its own weekday level, a far smaller drop than many homes see. Annual turnover of 10.4% is remarkably low against a national average near 46%, meaning familiar faces are likely to stay familiar. The current record shows 16 deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with one fine of $28,105 and an inspection in March 2024.

Waveny Care Center in New Canaan runs on 5.03 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 30 percent more staffing than the national average of 3.86, a real margin, not a rounding error. Weekend coverage dips about 13 percent below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. Turnover sits at 37.4 percent, below the national 45.8 percent, and the home carries a 5/5 on all three CMS measures. The 15 deficiencies on record include none at the harm level and one abuse-related citation; the last inspection was November 2025. Nonprofit ownership under a corporation rounds out the picture.

Bradley Home Infirmary/Pavilion runs 30 certified beds in Meriden under nonprofit ownership, and its staffing is the clearest strength: 4.07 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, with a 5/5 staffing rating. Turnover sits at 22.2%, less than half the national figure, which matters for residents who need consistent caregivers, though weekend coverage drops about 13% from weekday levels. The record isn't spotless: 18 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus a $12,735 fine. Its last inspection was March 2025, and both health inspection and quality measure ratings came in at 4/5.

Portland Care & Rehab Centre runs 65 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its strongest asset is its workforce: turnover sits at 15.7 percent, roughly a third of the national average of 45.8 percent. That kind of retention shows up in the care itself, with quality measures scoring near the top of CMS's scale and a recent inspection on record. Staffing per resident runs slightly under the national average, and weekends dip about 10 percent below the home's own weekday coverage, so ask how that gap gets managed. Eleven deficiencies and one harm-level finding are on the current record, along with a single fine just over $10,000, modest, but worth asking about directly.

Chestelm runs 4.24 total nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average of 3.86, and its most recent health inspection was in November 2024. The 13 deficiencies on file include none at the harm or jeopardy level and none related to abuse, while staff turnover sits at 42.7%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. One thing worth knowing: weekend staffing drops about 9% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage is thinner on Saturdays and Sundays. For-profit corporate ownership is the backdrop here, but the inspection record and nurse hours are what stand out most.

Matulaitis runs a tight ship on the clinical side. A five-star inspection record with only one harm-level deficiency and nothing abuse-related is genuinely uncommon, and the quality measures hold up at five stars too. Staffing is where the numbers get more mixed: at 3.63 hours per resident day, this home sits about 6% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 12% below its own weekday coverage. That's worth asking about directly, since care doesn't pause on Saturdays. The offsetting factor is retention, 25.3% turnover is remarkably low next to the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people who are there tend to stay. Its last inspection was in December 2024.

Edgehill Health Center runs on unusually strong staffing for a for-profit home: 5.17 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, and its 20.4% turnover is less than half the national rate, a sign people tend to stay. Weekend coverage dips about 13% below weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Five deficiencies on record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in February 2026. Quality measures sit mid-range at 3 out of 5 stars, so ask how the home is working on those specific areas.

Orange Health Care Center runs 60 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.90 nurse hours per resident day, just a hair above the national average of 3.86. The number that stands out more is turnover: 20.5% annually, less than half the national rate of 45.8%, which suggests people actually stay. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below weekday levels, a gap worth asking about. The home carries 19 deficiencies on its current record, but none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and its last inspection was in July 2025. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, come in at 5 out of 5.

Springs At 3030 Park runs a small operation, 23 certified beds, and staffs it heavily: 5.91 nurse hours per resident day, roughly half again the national average, though weekends drop about 15% below its own weekday coverage. Inspectors visited in January 2026 and scored the home at the top of CMS's health inspection and quality measure scales, but its record isn't clean: 18 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus a single fine of $8,018. For-profit, limited liability ownership. The staffing and recent inspection results are the strength here; the deficiency history is what a family should ask about directly.

Grimes Center runs on 3.72 nurse hours per resident day, a bit under the national figure, and weekends are where that shows, staffing drops roughly a fifth below its own weekday level, so a Saturday visit may look thinner than a Tuesday. The steadier number is turnover at 23.2%, about half the national rate, which matters because familiar aides tend to know residents' routines. Inspections turned up 22 deficiencies with none at harm level, though three are abuse-related and worth asking about directly. As a nonprofit with a recent inspection and 4s on health and quality measures, this reads like a place that is well-run but stretched on weekend coverage.

Cook Willow runs 60 certified beds in Plymouth under corporate ownership, and the staffing picture is quietly solid: 3.97 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86. Turnover sits at 40.8%, better than the 45.8% national figure, though weekends run about 18% thinner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits Saturday or Sunday. Inspections in September 2025 found 23 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but three tied to abuse, which deserves a direct question about what happened and what changed. Quality measures scored 5/5 and inspections 4/5, so the record is mostly clean with that one category worth pressing on.

Westview runs a for-profit corporate home with 103 beds, and its staffing is the strongest card it holds: 3.98 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, with turnover at 41%, lower than the typical 45.8%. Weekends thin out, though, running about 14% below weekday coverage. The health inspection record is the weak spot: 30 deficiencies, including two tied to abuse, and a 2-out-of-5 star rating from CMS on inspections, even though quality measures scored 4 and staffing scored 5. The last inspection was February 3, 2025. None of the deficiencies rose to harm or jeopardy level, which matters, but the count is high. Ask about weekend coverage and the abuse-related findings before deciding.
