Gill Odd Fellows Home in Ludlow runs on a non-profit model with 46 beds, and its staff retention is the standout number here: 20.5% turnover against a national average of 45.8%. That kind of stability matters more than it sounds, because consistent caregivers know residents' routines and catch changes early. Total nurse staffing sits at 3.51 hours per resident day, about 9% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 11% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. Inspections in February 2026 turned up 24 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy. The recent four-star inspection and quality ratings reflect a home that's generally steady, with room to tighten weekend staffing.

Helen Porter Healthcare & Rehab runs on a nonprofit model with 98 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the story here: 4.92 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 28% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 12% below its own weekday level, worth knowing if your visits fall on Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 33.3%, meaningfully better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether your family member sees the same faces month to month. The current deficiency record shows 10 citations, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection completed in August 2025. Quality measure scores run lower than the staffing marks suggest.

Franklin County Rehab Center runs on a for-profit individual owner, and the staffing is genuinely the story here: 5.45 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 41% above the national average of 3.86, which is a real cushion compared to most homes. That said, weekends drop about 18% below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 40.2%, better than the 45.8% national figure, but still two in five staff leaving in a year, so continuity is a fair question. The inspection record shows 14 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated April 2026, so the record is current rather than stale.

Greensboro Nursing Home runs 30 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.11 hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average, though weekends drop about 11% below its own weekday levels. That's a real gap if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is where things get more complicated: 23 deficiencies on file, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but seven tied to abuse. The last inspection was May 2026, so the record is recent. Its quality measure rating is strong, but a 3-out-of-5 on health inspections and staffing, plus those abuse-related citations, is worth asking about directly before you decide.

Menig Nursing Home runs on strong staffing numbers, 4.26 nurse hours per resident day, about 10% above the national average, and the federal rating system gives it top marks there and on quality measures. The catch is inspections. A 2/5 health inspection rating and 25 deficiencies on the current record, including 3 tied to abuse, plus a $76,500 fine, point to real problems with how care is delivered and documented even if no deficiency rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy. Staff turnover sits near the national average at 47.6%, and weekend coverage dips about 9% below weekday levels. The most recent inspection was in September 2025, so that record is current.

Pine Heights At Brattleboro runs about 3.75 nurse hours per resident day, a bit under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 12% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 35.5%, well below the national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses you meet are more likely to still be there next year. Ten deficiencies show on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in September 2025 and a four-star health inspection rating. The for-profit corporate owner runs 80 certified beds. Quality measures score five stars while staffing earns three, read that as good care outcomes achieved on leaner coverage.

Rutland Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center runs 103 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.88 hours per resident day, barely above the national figure of 3.86. Weekend coverage drops about 12% below its own weekday level, so the hours thin out when families tend to visit. Turnover at 36.8% is meaningfully better than the 45.8% national average, which matters for continuity of care. But the inspection record includes 11 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus two fines totaling $32,708. A June 2025 inspection is recent enough to reflect current conditions. Solid staffing numbers, uneven quality picture.

The Pines at Rutland runs 125 certified beds under for-profit partnership ownership, and its staffing sits just under the national average at 3.83 nurse hours per resident day. That thin margin gets thinner on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 15% below the home's own weekday level, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover lands at 43%, a touch better than the 45.8% national figure. Inspections came back strong at four stars, and the home was last surveyed in December 2025. The current record shows 20 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus a single fine of $8,512. No abuse citations appear on record.

Pines Rehab & Health Center runs a 60-bed for-profit partnership in Lyndonville, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 4.42 hours per resident day, about 14% above the national average, but weekend coverage drops roughly 15% below the home's own weekday level, so care thins out when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 58.8% is well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people at the bedside keep changing. On the plus side, the current record shows six deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was recent, in February 2026. Quality measure scores are the weak spot.

Mayo Healthcare in Northfield runs a tight ship on the basics: its last health inspection came back with zero deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level, and none related to abuse, which is the floor every family should care about first. Nurse staffing sits at 4.38 hours per resident per day, roughly 13% above the national average, though weekends drop about 15% below the home's own weekday coverage, worth asking about if your relative needs more hands-on help on Saturdays and Sundays. The gap to watch is quality measures, which score near the bottom. Ten total deficiencies on record, none serious, but the clinical outcomes data is where this home looks weakest.

Cedar Hill runs a lean ship on the clinical side: 4.97 nurse hours per resident day puts it well ahead of the national average, and its last inspection in June 2024 came back with no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level. The catch is consistency and stability. Weekend staffing drops about a fifth below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit and when residents may need the most attention. Staff turnover sits at 53.7%, noticeably above the national rate, which matters for a 39-bed home where residents and aides know each other by name. Thirteen deficiencies and one abuse-related finding are on record alongside a single $10,358 fine.

Saint Albans Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center runs 115 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits just under the national mark, 3.74 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86, with weekends about 11% leaner than weekdays. Turnover is 48.2%, a bit above the 45.8% national figure, which matters because familiar caregivers tend to notice changes sooner. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 14 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, one tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $148,714. That recent February 2026 inspection is why the health inspection rating sits at 2 out of 5, even though staffing scored 4. Ask about the abuse deficiency and what changed since.

Mountain View Center runs 158 certified beds in Rutland under corporate for-profit ownership, and its record shows a pattern worth understanding before you visit. Nurse staffing sits at 3.73 hours per resident day, slightly under the national average, and weekends dip about 10% below the home's own weekday levels, so the coverage your family member gets on a Saturday may look thinner than what you'd see Monday through Friday. Annual turnover of 53.6% outpaces the national rate of 45.8%, which means familiar faces cycle out fairly often. The current deficiency record lists 31 findings, four at harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, with $40,350 in CMS fines across three events. The most recent inspection was June 2026.

Maple Lane runs 4.34 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 12% above the national average of 3.86, and its most recent inspection in April 2026 came back clean at the harm level, zero deficiencies there, which is genuinely hard to do. The catch is staffing stability. Turnover sits at 61.1% against a national 45.8%, and weekend coverage drops about 17% below weekday levels, so the people giving care change often and thin out on Saturdays and Sundays. Thirteen deficiencies total, one abuse-related, and a 2/5 on quality measures pull against that strong inspection record. The for-profit LLC ownership rounds out the picture.

The Vermont Veterans' Home in Bennington runs on state government ownership with 177 certified beds, and its staff turnover sits at 29.2%, noticeably below the national average of 45.8%, which matters for continuity of care. But the staffing star rating lands at just 1 out of 5, and quality measures come in at 1 out of 5 as well, even as the health inspection rating holds at 4 out of 5. Fifteen deficiencies sit on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a single fine of $8,278. The last inspection was March 11, 2026. Low turnover is a real strength; the thin staffing and quality scores pull hard the other way.
