Staff turnover

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.

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.

Pilgrim Manor in Cromwell runs on a nonprofit model with 60 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noting: 3.94 nurse hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, with weekends dipping about 7% below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 37.7%, which is meaningfully better than the 45.8% national figure, people tend to stay here longer than at the typical home. The current inspection record shows 16 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and four abuse-related, plus a single fine of $12,048. That's a mixed picture, but the last inspection was recent, in April 2024, and the quality and staffing ratings both come in at the top of the scale.

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.

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.

Staff turnover

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.

Elim Park Baptist Home runs on a nonprofit model with 90 certified beds, and the staffing picture is the strongest part of the story: 4.37 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average, with a five-out-of-five CMS staffing rating to match. Weekend coverage dips about 6% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about. Turnover sits at 39.8%, better than the 45.8% national figure but still meaning nearly four in ten staff left within a year. The inspection record is where things get more complicated: 19 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related citation, plus an $8,018 fine. The last inspection was September 2024.

Mozaic Senior Life runs on 294 certified beds as a nonprofit, and the numbers pull in two directions. Nurse staffing sits at 4.61 hours per resident day, about 19% above the national average of 3.86, and turnover is 24.3%, far below the 45.8% norm. Weekend coverage dips roughly 7% under weekday levels, so the floor is thinner on Saturdays and Sundays. What drags the record down is inspection history: 46 deficiencies, including five at harm or jeopardy level and nine tied to abuse, plus five fines totaling $58,260. The most recent inspection was September 29, 2025. Strong staffing and low turnover don't erase that paper trail.

Fairview runs on 4.23 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 33.7% sits well under the 45.8% national figure, both signs of a stable floor. The trade-off shows up on weekends, when staffing drops about 12% below its own weekday level, and in a record of 19 deficiencies that includes one at the harm level and one abuse-related citation. Its last full inspection was July 2024. A nonprofit corporation operates the 120-bed home. Strong routine staffing and low turnover matter, but that deficiency record is the part worth asking about directly.

Saint Josephs Living Center runs a tight ship on staff retention, 32.5% annual turnover is well under the national average of 45.8%, which means the people caring for your relative are more likely to still be there next year. Nurse staffing sits at 3.91 hours per resident day, just barely above the national figure, though weekends dip about 8% below the home's own weekday coverage. The record isn't spotless: 22 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a $13,065 fine. The most recent inspection was December 2024, so the picture is reasonably current.

Notre Dame Health and Rehabilitation Center runs about 60 beds under nonprofit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.16 hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average. That's the strongest part of the picture. The weaker part: weekend staffing drops about 13% below its own weekday level, so coverage isn't evenly spread across the week. Inspections in August 2024 turned up 15 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus one fine of $12,735. Nothing on the record involves abuse. Federal ratings put health inspections and quality measures at 4 out of 5, with staffing at 3. If you're touring, ask how weekends and evenings are actually covered.

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.

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.

Geer Nursing And Rehabilitation runs a 120-bed nonprofit home in Canaan where the nursing hours come in at 4.18 per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, and staff turnover sits at 28.9% against a national figure near 46%, that retention matters more than most families realize. Weekend coverage dips about 8% below weekday levels, and the quality measure score is low, so the clinical picture and the staffing picture don't tell the same story. Eighteen deficiencies appear on the current record, two tied to abuse, none rising to harm or jeopardy, with $24,690 in fines across three penalties and an inspection from August 2024.
