Nurse hours

Staff turnover
41%
Serious cites
0

Stone Bridge runs on 3.90 nurse hours per resident day, just a hair above the national average of 3.86, but that coverage thins out on weekends, roughly 9% below what the home staffs Monday through Friday. Annual turnover sits at 41.4%, better than the 45.8% national figure, and the 154-bed home is owned by a for-profit limited liability company. The record shows 58 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 12 tied to abuse, with one fine of $10,358 and a June 2025 inspection. Quality measures score well, but that inspection history and weekend dip are what pull the overall picture down.

Staff turnover
27%
Serious cites
0

Southport Center runs 4.43 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent above the national average, and its staff turnover of 27.4 percent sits well below the 45.8 percent norm, a sign people tend to stay. That matters, because consistent caregivers know residents. But weekends run about 14 percent thinner than weekdays, so the coverage you see on a Tuesday isn't what you get on a Sunday. The current record carries 57 deficiencies, one serious enough to cause harm and five tied to abuse, with a $13,757 fine. State inspectors last visited in July 2025. For-profit, limited liability ownership.

Whitney Rehabilitation Care Center runs 150 certified beds in Hamden under individual for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are mildly better than typical, 3.92 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Turnover sits at 41.6%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, though weekend coverage drops roughly 7% below the home's own weekday level. Inspections in September 2024 produced 24 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but one tied to abuse. That combination, steady staffing and quality marks weighed against a long deficiency list and a recent inspection, is what keeps this home in solidly average territory rather than above it.

Glastonbury Center runs 105 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.81 hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop roughly 11% below the home's own weekday coverage, so families should ask who's actually on the floor on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover is the standout number: 27.6% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning this staff largely stays put, which matters for residents who need consistent caregivers. The home carries 40 deficiencies on its current record, but none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and its last inspection was September 23, 2025.

Lutheran Home of Southbury runs a nonprofit operation with 120 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.25 hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real strength, though weekends run about 13% thinner than weekdays, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week. Staff turnover lands at 49.2%, a bit above the 45.8% national figure, which matters for how well residents get to know their caregivers. The inspection record shows 35 total deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level, but 7 are abuse-related, a category worth asking about directly. The most recent inspection was June 17, 2025, so the picture is current.

Staff turnover

Sharon Center runs on lighter nurse staffing than most homes, 3.55 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends get thinner still, dropping about 8% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 31.4%, which is meaningfully better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who are there tend to stay. The inspection record is where the concern shows: 37 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in August 2025. A corporation owns the 88-bed home, and the staffing stars reflect the hours scheduled, not necessarily the outcomes.

Woodlake At Tolland runs 4.11 nurse hours per resident day, about six percent above the national average, and its staff turnover of 30.9% sits well under the 45.8% norm, a sign people tend to stay. Weekend staffing, though, drops roughly 10% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out when families visit most. The inspection record carries 52 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, which is a lot to work through even with a recent February 2026 inspection. For-profit LLC ownership. Strong care measures and steady staffing pull the picture up; the deficiency history is the part worth asking about directly.

Autumn Lake Healthcare At West Hartford runs a for-profit corporation home with 75 certified beds, and its staffing sits at 4.08 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage drops about 11% below its own weekday level, and turnover runs 41.6%, a bit under the 45.8% national figure. The harder numbers are on the inspection side: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 70 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse. One fine totaling $24,453. The last inspection was November 18, 2025, so the record is recent. Quality measures score 5 out of 5, which makes the inspection findings stand out more, good clinical metrics don't erase what surveyors wrote down. Ask about those six abuse deficiencies directly before you visit.

Vanderman Place runs a hundred and twenty-four beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its staffing sits a touch above the national average at 4.01 nurse hours per resident day. Turnover is where it separates itself: 33 percent against a national 45.8, which means the people caring for your relative are more likely than average to still be there next year. Weekends run about 7 percent thinner than weekdays, so plan visits accordingly. The record isn't clean. Fifty-one deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, five tied to abuse, and a May 2025 inspection that's still recent. Weigh steady staffing against that citation history before deciding.

Beechwood runs 60 beds under for-profit LLC ownership in New London, and its last inspection was recent, June 2025. The 23 deficiencies on record include four abuse-related citations, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, which matters for how seriously to read the rest. Nurse staffing sits at 4.00 hours per resident day, slightly above the national 3.86 average, but that headline number deserves a second look: weekend coverage drops roughly 9% below the home's own weekday level, so the hours your family member gets on a Saturday won't match a Tuesday. Federal inspectors rated the care quality and inspection record well, but staffing earned only two stars, the gap between those ratings is the thing to ask about on a tour.

Milford Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 120 certified beds under corporate, for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.98 hours per resident day, about 3% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips roughly 8% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. Staff turnover of 21.4% is worth noting against the national average of 45.8%; that kind of retention is uncommon. The tradeoff shows up in the inspection record: 19 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus a single fine of $19,122. Its last inspection was February 19, 2026.

Havencare At Filosa runs a 64-bed for-profit home in Danbury, and the numbers here are mostly steady with one clear soft spot. Staffing sits at 4.02 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, but weekends drop roughly 14% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover of 53.3% runs well past the national 45.8%, so the people around your relative change often, and there are fewer of them on Saturdays and Sundays. Inspections look solid: a 4-out-of-5 health inspection star, nothing on the current record at the harm or jeopardy level, and no abuse deficiencies among the 17 total. The last inspection was August 2024. Quality measures score 5 out of 5. Ask about weekend coverage and how they hold onto aides.

Serious cites

Masonicare At Bishop Wicke runs a nonprofit home in Shelton with 120 certified beds, and its strongest number is staffing: 4.47 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 16% above the national average. That cushion matters because weekend coverage dips about 7% below the home's own weekday level, so the extra hours absorb some of that drop rather than leaving residents short. Staff turnover sits at 35.5%, meaningfully better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests a more stable caregiver group than most places manage. The tradeoffs show up elsewhere. Inspectors have logged 25 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none abuse-related, and one fine of $8,018. The most recent inspection was September 2025, so the record is current.

Civita Care Center At Salmon Brook runs 130 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing picture is its strong point: 4.21 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping about 7% below weekdays. Turnover sits at 31.8%, noticeably better than the 45.8% national figure. The trouble is the inspection record, a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 81 deficiencies on file, including 10 abuse-related and 2 at the harm or jeopardy level, plus $24,164 in fines across two penalties. The most recent inspection was June 25, 2025. Good staffing and a clean quality measure score can't offset a history that heavy, so weigh that record carefully before deciding.

The Pines at Bristol runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes, 3.65 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 10% below what it manages on weekdays. Its quality measure scores are strong, but that measure reflects resident outcomes, not the hands available to respond when someone needs help at 2 a.m. Turnover at 39.8% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The current inspection record shows 28 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. Corporate for-profit ownership, a March 2025 inspection, and a mid-range inspection history round out the picture.

Parkville Care Center runs on thin staffing: 3.02 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday level. Turnover is where it stands out, 30.8% against a national average of 45.8%, which means more of the same faces stick around. The tradeoff shows up in its record: 34 deficiencies, four of them abuse-related, though none rose to actual harm or jeopardy, and the last inspection was in April 2025. Inspections and quality measures both rate well; staffing does not. A for-profit LLC with 150 beds, it looks steady on care outcomes and stretched on daily coverage.

Manchester Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center runs 126 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and its staffing sits at 3.84 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86. That small gap matters less than the schedule itself: weekends run about 12% thinner than weekdays, so coverage depends on when you visit. Staff turnover lands at 42.4%, a touch better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is where the real questions sit. There are 25 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with a single fine of $12,735. The last inspection was March 16, 2026. Quality measures score well, but that record deserves a direct conversation before you decide.

Vernon Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center runs 120 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its recent inspection record is genuinely strong: a five-star health inspection rating, five stars on quality measures, and no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level. That one abuse-related citation on the books is worth asking about directly. Staffing tells a more mixed story. At 4.13 nurse hours per resident day, the home sits about 7% above the national average, but the staffing star rating lands at three, and weekends run roughly 9% thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover of 49.6% exceeds the national rate of 45.8%, meaning nearly half the nursing staff leaves each year. Inspectors last visited in October 2024.

Governors House runs 70 beds in Simsbury under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.51 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 8% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is 40.7%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers know residents. Inspections look strong on the surface: 4 of 5 stars, most recent visit in December 2025. But the record carries 36 deficiencies, including one at harm level and four tied to abuse, a combination worth asking about directly before you decide.

Fresh River Healthcare runs lean on direct care: 3.00 nurse hours per resident day, about 22 percent under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 8 percent below its own weekday staffing. That's the main tension here, since the inspection record is comparatively clean, a June 2025 survey, 25 deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level, though four are abuse-related and worth asking about directly. Staff retention is a genuine bright spot at 23.2 percent turnover, half the national rate, which suggests people stay. For-profit LLC ownership, 140 beds. If your family member needs heavy daily hands-on help, ask how the aide-to-resident ratio actually looks on a Saturday.
