Brewer Center for Health & Rehabilitation runs a for-profit operation with 111 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.75 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average. That's a meaningful cushion, though weekend coverage drops about 10% from weekday levels, so families should ask how that gap gets filled. Staff turnover is 51%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. On inspections, the home holds a 4-out-of-5 star rating from CMS, and its 30 deficiencies include none at the harm or jeopardy level and none related to abuse. The most recent inspection was April 30, 2026.

Ross Manor runs on 4.34 nurse hours per resident per day, about 12% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 27.3% sits well below the 45.8% national figure, a sign people tend to stay. Weekends thin out roughly 9% from weekday coverage, worth knowing if your visits land on Saturdays. The tradeoffs show up elsewhere: 38 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus an $8,018 fine. Quality measures rate low even as staffing rates high, and the last inspection was April 2025.

Eastside Center runs 4.23 nurse hours per resident day, about 9% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 37% beats the 45.8% national figure, both signs of a stable floor. Weekend coverage, though, dips roughly 9% below its own weekday levels, so care may thin out when families visit. The trouble sits in inspections: 33 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, with a $11,190 fine and a two-star health inspection rating despite strong marks for staffing and quality measures. A recent April 2026 inspection means the record is current, not stale.

Maine Veterans Home in Caribou runs a lean 40 beds with nurse staffing at 5.13 hours per resident day, roughly a third above the national average, and weekend coverage stays within about 10 percent of weekday levels. Staff turnover of 28.6% sits well under the national figure, which suggests a steadier crew than most places. The tradeoffs show up elsewhere: 14 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus a $42,320 fine. Quality measures score at the bottom of CMS's scale even as inspections and staffing sit near the top. The most recent inspection was February 2026.

Hibbard runs a 93-bed for-profit home in Dover Foxcroft, and its staffing is the strongest part of the picture: 4.17 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% above the national average. That helps offset weekends, when coverage drops roughly 16% below the home's own weekday level. Turnover sits at 46.1%, essentially the national rate of 45.8%, no better, no worse, and worth asking about, since steady caregivers matter more than raw hours. The inspection record is where the concern lies: 44 deficiencies on file, including one abuse-related finding, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. Maine's most recent visit was June 5, 2025. Ask to see the plan of correction for that abuse citation.

Harbor Hill Center runs 4.57 nurse hours per resident day, about 18% above the national average of 3.86, but weekends dip roughly 12% below its own weekday staffing, so coverage isn't as steady as the headline number suggests. Staff turnover sits at 46.7%, essentially right at the national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents change over about as fast as they do anywhere. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 39 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a two-star health inspection rating. A January 2026 inspection is recent, so that record is current, not stale.

Sedgewood Commons runs 91 certified beds in Falmouth under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.93 hours per resident day, modestly above the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 5% below its own weekday levels. That staffing picture earned a 4-out-of-5 CMS staffing star, and the home's 53.5% annual turnover does run hotter than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. Its current record shows 28 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated June 2025. Health inspection and quality measure stars each landed at 3 out of 5, so the picture is steady rather than standout.

Nurse staffing at this Machias home looks solid on paper, 3.87 hours per resident day, right at the national average of 3.86, and the 5/5 staffing star reflects that. Retention is genuinely good: 29.1% turnover against a national 45.8%. The trouble sits elsewhere. Thirty deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, with a single fine of $10,358. Weekend staffing runs about 7% below weekday levels. CMS rates the quality measures 1 out of 5, which drags against the strong staffing score, and a June 2025 inspection is recent enough to matter. The B reflects a home that keeps its workers but has recurring problems on the care side.

Sandy River Center runs 82 certified beds in Farmington under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.44 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 5% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 46.1%, essentially tracking the national 45.8%, which means the same churn pressures show up here as almost everywhere else. What stands out is the inspection record: 47 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a $14,069 fine, with the most recent survey completed in September 2025. No abuse citations appear on the current record.

Borderview runs a high-staffing operation for a 27-bed home, 5.32 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national average, and its most recent inspection in May 2025 came back clean at the harm level, with no abuse citations among its 14 deficiencies. That staffing edge has a soft spot, though: weekends run about 12 percent leaner than weekdays, and 57.4 percent annual turnover means the people delivering those hours keep changing. The quality measure score sits at 2 out of 5, which is worth asking about directly, since it reflects how residents are actually doing day to day, not how many staff are scheduled.

Maine Veterans Home in Bangor runs 120 certified beds and puts 5.13 nursing hours behind each resident per day, roughly a third more than the national average of 3.86. That's real coverage, though weekends dip about 14% below the home's own weekday levels, so the floor is thinner on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 45.9%, essentially identical to the national rate, so retention isn't the problem here. The trouble is everything else: 38 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse, and $74,698 in fines. The most recent inspection closed in August 2025. Good staffing is doing a lot of work holding this one up.

Maplecrest runs 58 beds in Madison under corporate ownership, and its staffing is the one number that holds up: 3.95 nurse hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, with a 4-out-of-5 staffing rating to match. Turnover is the catch, 50.9% of staff leave each year, and weekend coverage drops about 8% below the home's own weekday levels, so the hours you see on paper aren't always the hours on the floor. Inspections tell the harder story: 41 deficiencies on record, including two tied to abuse, and a 2-out-of-5 inspection rating. Quality measures sit at 1 out of 5. The most recent inspection was July 2025, so the record is current.

Southridge Rehab & Living Center sits in Biddeford with 62 certified beds and a nonprofit owner, and its numbers pull in two directions. The nursing floor is genuinely well staffed at 4.44 hours per resident day, roughly 15% above the national average, though weekend coverage dips about 5% below its own weekday level, and 53.4% of staff turned over last year against a 45.8% national rate. That instability shows up in the oversight record: 29 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to put residents at risk of harm, plus two fines totaling $23,179, with the most recent inspection in June 2024. Care hours are there; consistency and compliance are the open questions.

Brentwood Center runs a decent number of nurse hours per resident, about 4.03 a day, a little above the national figure, and that shows up in its four-star staffing rating. The catch is consistency: weekends run roughly 8% thinner than weekdays, and more than half the nursing staff turns over each year, well above the national rate. On inspections, the record is heavier than most: 33 deficiencies, though none tied to harm or abuse. Ownership is a for-profit corporation. That combination explains the middling grade better than any single number.

Winship Green runs a 72-bed for-profit home in Bath, and the staffing numbers are a mixed bag. Total nurse coverage sits at 3.90 hours per resident day, just barely above the national average of 3.86, but weekends drop about 8% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 54.1% is well above the 45.8% national average, meaning you'll likely see unfamiliar faces. The current record shows 30 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in July 2024. Federal ratings land at 3 stars for health inspections and 2 stars each for quality measures and staffing.

Seal Rock Healthcare runs 105 certified beds in Saco under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing is the strongest part of the picture: 4.48 nurse hours per resident day, about 16% above the national average. That cushion thins on weekends, which run roughly 7% below the home's own weekday level, a gap families often notice when visiting Saturday or Sunday. Turnover sits at 56.3%, well above the 45.8% national average, so the people providing that care keep changing. The inspection record is the heavier concern: 29 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus a $75,433 fine. The most recent inspection was April 3, 2026.

Dexter Health Care runs 53 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.98 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop roughly 15% below its own weekday coverage, though, so the care a resident gets Saturday may look thinner than what they get Tuesday. The record shows 40 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse. Staff turnover is 56.7%, well above the 45.8% national figure, and the last inspection was September 2025. One fine totaling $10,033 is on file. Staffing is the strong point here; the inspection and quality ratings are both 2 out of 5.

Kennebunk Center for Health & Rehabilitation runs 78 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.04 hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average of 3.86. That cushion shrinks on weekends, when coverage drops about 7% below the home's own weekday level. Staff turnover is the bigger issue: 54.7% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The home carries 36 deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with its last inspection dated April 2026. CMS rates it 2 of 5 stars on both health inspections and quality measures, and 3 on staffing.

Woodlawn Rehabilitation & Nursing Center runs 46 certified beds in Skowhegan under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.34 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average, with weekends running about 6% thinner than its own weekdays. That gap shows up in the numbers: 54% annual turnover, well above the 45.8% national figure, and CMS scoring it 2 out of 5 on both staffing and health inspections. The inspection record carries 53 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus an $8,018 fine. The most recent inspection was July 31, 2025, so the record is current rather than stale, worth asking about directly before you decide.

Orchard Park runs 4.30 nurse hours per resident day, about 11% above the national average, which is why its staffing rating lands at 4 out of 5. But look at who's delivering that care: turnover sits at 68.3% against a national average of 45.8%, and weekend coverage drops roughly 12% below weekdays, so the familiar faces thin out exactly when families tend to visit. The current record carries 31 deficiencies, including two tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy. State inspectors were last in on January 22, 2026, and the 2/5 marks on health inspections and quality measures pull down what the staffing numbers build up.
