How non-profit homes in Vermont compare
This group set against every nursing home in Vermont, from the current CMS release.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Wake Robin-Linden runs 33 beds as a nonprofit, and its inspection record is genuinely clean, a five-star health inspection rating, just two deficiencies on the books, none of them causing harm or involving abuse, and a survey completed in January 2026. The staffing side tells a different story. CMS gives it one star there, and annual turnover sits at 58.5 percent against a national average of 45.8 percent, meaning well over half the staff left within the year. Quality measures land at four stars. So you're looking at a small home that passes outside review comfortably but may struggle to keep consistent caregivers at the bedside, worth asking directly how they hold shifts together.
The Manor in Morrisville is a nonprofit with 72 beds, and its staffing is the one number that stands out in a good way: 4.19 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average. Weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The trouble sits elsewhere. Staff turnover runs 63.6% against a national 45.8%, meaning nearly two-thirds of the nursing staff leaves each year, and that churn shows up in 14 deficiencies, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $140,856. Quality measures score 2 out of 5.
Vernon Green runs a real staffing advantage, 4.44 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and turnover at 36.2% versus 45.8% nationally. That's the good news, and it's genuine.
The trouble sits on the inspection side. Forty-three deficiencies on the current record, three serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, five tied to abuse. One fine of $87,896. A two-star health inspection and two-star quality measure score pull against the five-star staffing. Weekend coverage also drops about 15% below the home's own weekday levels, so the strong average doesn't hold steady across the week.
A nonprofit with 60 beds and recent inspection activity in January 2026, worth asking directly about the abuse-related findings and what changed since.
Woodridge Nursing Home in Barre runs a genuinely strong staffing operation, 4.94 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 28% above the national average of 3.86, which is what earns it a four-star staffing rating. That cushion matters, since weekend coverage drops about 18% below its own weekday level. The harder question is stability: annual turnover sits at 62.6% against a national 45.8%, meaning a large share of those hours are delivered by people who weren't there last year. The inspection record reflects that tension, 32 deficiencies on file, including 10 abuse-related citations and one at the harm level, with a two-star health inspection rating and a $21,453 fine. The most recent inspection was September 12, 2025.
Thompson House runs lean on inspection results, not on staff. The Brattleboro nonprofit, 43 beds, has averaged 4.95 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 28% above the national figure, yet CMS still gave it a single star for health inspections after seven deficiencies, three serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and a $112,499 fine.
Weekend coverage drops about 15% below weekday levels, and turnover sits at 56.1% against a 45.8% national average. Those two numbers matter when the same crew isn't there to catch what a thin weekend shift misses.
Being placed in the Special Focus Facility program means federal regulators are watching this home's correction plan directly. The last inspection was March 2026.
