Campion Health & Wellness runs on 6.80 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 76% above the national average of 3.86, a gap that shows up on weekends too, where hours dip only about 5% below the weekday pace. Staff turnover sits at 30.8% against a national average of 45.8%, and the home carries a single deficiency on its current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with its last inspection in May 2025. It's a 70-bed nonprofit affiliated with a church, and its CMS stars come back 5/5 across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing. One family review so far, and it's a 5/5.

Mary's Meadow runs on 5.28 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, and its staff tends to stay, turnover of 27.1% against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your visits land on Saturdays or Sundays. The inspection record shows 10 deficiencies with none at the harm level and none tied to abuse, and the most recent state visit was in August 2025. As a church-affiliated nonprofit with 40 beds, it answers to a mission rather than shareholders, and the numbers above suggest that shows up in how it's run.

Lasell House runs on about 4.94 nursing hours per resident each day, roughly a quarter more than the typical American nursing home, and its staff turnover sits near 34.5%, well under the national 45.8%. Inspectors have cited just two deficiencies, neither involving harm or abuse, and the most recent visit was in September 2025, so the record is both clean and current. The trade-off worth knowing is weekends, when staffing drops about a fifth from its own weekday level. That's common in nursing homes, but it matters most for a small 44-bed nonprofit where there's less slack to absorb an absence.

Nurse staffing at Copley At Stoughton runs 4.27 hours per resident day, about 11 percent above the national average, and weekend coverage dips roughly 8 percent below its own weekday levels, so ask how that gap gets filled. Annual turnover of 20.6 percent sits well under the national 45.8 percent, which matters for whether you see the same faces month to month. The inspection record is the counterweight: 22 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, plus a $10,517 fine, with the most recent inspection in December 2025. For-profit partnership ownership, 123 beds. Strong staffing and quality marks, a thinner inspection history.

Carleton-Willard Village runs a nonprofit operation in Bedford with 179 certified beds, and the caregiving hours stand out: 5.17 per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average of 3.86, with weekend coverage dipping only slightly below weekdays. Staff turnover of 32.3% also beats the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity. The caution signs sit on the inspection side, 11 deficiencies on the current record, five serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, one tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $25,497, all from an inspection dated February 2025. Strong staffing and quality scores, but a recent survey that found real problems.

Nurse staffing here runs 5.42 hours per resident day, roughly 40% above the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip only about 3% below the home's own weekday level, a fairly small gap compared to what many homes show. Staff turnover sits at 33.3%, well below the national 45.8%, which matters for whether aides and nurses stick around long enough to know your mother's routines. The tradeoff is in inspections: 14 deficiencies on the current record, one tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was September 2025. Nonprofit ownership under a corporation, 107 certified beds.

New England Pediatric Care runs 80 certified beds as a nonprofit, and the staffing number is the first thing that stands out: 8.11 nurse hours per resident day, roughly double the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage does dip about 21% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. Turnover sits at 30.7%, well under the national 45.8%, which matters for kids who need consistent caregivers. Five deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a clean five-star inspection and quality history.

Southwood At Norwell runs a tight ship on the numbers that matter most. Staffing sits at 3.99 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and turnover is where this home really separates itself: 28.7% versus 45.8% nationally, meaning caregivers tend to stay. The ten deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in January 2026. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays or Sundays. For a for-profit partnership, the consistency here is unusual.

Spaulding Brighton runs nurse staffing at 7.35 hours per resident day, roughly double the national figure of 3.86. That's the kind of number that shows up in daily care, not on a brochure. Weekend coverage dips about 14% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 30.5%, better than the 45.8% national average, so the people providing that care are more likely to still be there next year. The inspection record is strong: a 5/5 health inspection rating, and six total deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level. One is abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. The nonprofit's last survey was March 5, 2026, so the picture is recent.

Rivercrest runs 4.44 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% above the national figure, and its weekend staffing only dips about 6% below weekdays, a narrow gap by industry standards. The nonprofit's 27.3% turnover sits well under the 45.8% national average, meaning the people showing up are largely the same people over time. Five deficiencies on record, none involving harm or abuse, with an inspection completed in August 2025. Read together, these numbers describe a home that is staffed and stable rather than merely passing.

Navigator Homes of Martha's Vineyard runs on unusually deep staffing for a nursing home: nearly six nurse hours per resident day, about 55% above the national average, and weekend coverage dips only modestly below weekdays. Turnover sits right around the national figure, so the clinical team is fairly stable. The trade-off shows up in inspections, where the home holds a below-average two stars and 16 deficiencies on its current record, including one abuse-related citation, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was in March 2026. Quality measures rate well above average. High hands-on care paired with inspection problems is the pattern here.

The Boston Home, Inc. runs on a nonprofit model with 96 certified beds in Suffolk County, and the numbers show it. Nurse staffing sits at 6.10 hours per resident day, roughly 58% above the national average, and weekend coverage dips only about 7% below weekday levels, so care doesn't thin out on Saturdays and Sundays. Annual turnover is 7.4% against a national average near 46%, which means the people caring for residents tend to stay. The current record shows zero deficiencies, none at the harm level, and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated March 2026. Quality measures scored 3 out of 5 stars, a middle mark, but staffing and inspection results both came in at 5.

Timberlyn Heights in Great Barrington runs on numbers that don't all point the same direction. The health inspection record is strong, four stars, only six deficiencies on file, none tied to abuse, and the most recent survey came in late 2025, so the picture is current. Quality measures also score well. The catch is staffing, which sits at one star and drags the overall picture down despite a turnover rate of 30.2% that beats the national average of 45.8%. One deficiency did rise to the harm or jeopardy level, and there's a single fine of $8,894 on record. Family-owned through an LLC, it's profit-run. Worth asking how the low staffing score actually plays out on the floor day to day.

South Cove Manor runs on a nonprofit model in Quincy, and the numbers show a stable operation. Staff turnover sits at 13.8%, roughly a third of the national rate, which matters because consistent caregivers know residents' routines and catch changes early. Nurse staffing at 3.63 hours per resident day is about 6% under the national average, and weekends dip slightly below the home's own weekday level, so ask how coverage is handled then. Sixteen deficiencies appear on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. The last inspection was September 2025, recent enough to reflect how the home operates now.

Mary Ann Morse runs about 4.13 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 7% above the national average, and its staff turnover sits at 31.1% against a national figure near 46%, people tend to stay here longer than at the typical home. Weekend staffing dips about 6% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is mostly solid, with 18 deficiencies, but one is at the harm level and one is abuse-related, which you should ask about directly. Its last inspection was in January 2026, so the record is recent.

Loomis Lakeside At Reeds Landing runs 42 certified beds as a nonprofit, and the numbers behind its record look steady. Nurse staffing sits at 3.90 hours per resident day, just a hair above the national average, though weekends drop about 11% below what the home staffs on weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits or needs care on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is the real standout: 26.8%, well under the national 45.8%, which suggests people stay. The home carries 8 deficiencies on its current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with its last inspection in January 2026.

Dwyer Home is a 50-bed nonprofit in Weymouth, and the numbers behind its record are worth walking through. Nurse staffing runs 4.59 hours per resident day, roughly 19% above the national average, and weekend coverage dips only about 7% below its own weekday level, a smaller drop than many homes show. Annual turnover sits at 30.6% against a national average of 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. Its last inspection was recent, in February 2026, and the four deficiencies on record include none at the harm level and none related to abuse. For a family weighing options, that combination, steady staff, clean inspections, is the part that matters.

Our Island Home runs on a county budget, and the numbers hold up well against the national average. Nurse staffing sits at 3.97 hours per resident day, modestly ahead of the 3.86 national figure, though weekend coverage dips about 6% below its own weekday level, worth asking about if your family visits primarily on Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover of 36.4% is meaningfully lower than the 45.8% national rate, which suggests a stable workforce, and its 14 deficiencies include none at the harm level and none related to abuse. The last inspection was May 2025, so the picture is current.

Whittier Westborough runs a 19-bed transitional care unit, and the numbers that stand out most are its staffing: 6.82 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 77% above the national average of 3.86. That kind of ratio is unusual, and the five-star staffing rating reflects it. Weekend coverage dips about 12% below weekday levels, so care may feel thinner on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover sits at 45.5%, essentially matching the national rate rather than exceeding it. The home carries six deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, and its most recent inspection was in May 2025. Corporate for-profit ownership is worth noting, but the inspection and quality measure ratings both come in at four stars.

Nurse staffing at Neville Center runs about 4.16 hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, and that cushion matters most on weekends, which here run about 15% below the home's own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 33%, well under the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The inspection record shows 20 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent state visit in May 2025. As a nonprofit, it isn't answerable to shareholders. Three four-star CMS ratings across inspections, quality measures, and staffing back up what the numbers suggest: solid, consistent care.
