Bangor Nursing & Rehabilitation Center runs a 60-bed nonprofit home where the aides and nurses show up, staffing sits just above the national average at 3.95 hours per resident day, though weekends dip about 9% below weekdays. The trouble shows up elsewhere. Staff turnover is 63.9%, well past the 45.8% national figure, and the inspection record carries 61 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with a $12,831 fine attached. The most recent inspection was January 2026. A stable aide who knows a resident matters, but on this record, the care quality and inspection results are where a family should look hardest.
