Sacred Heart runs a tight ship on the staffing side. Nurse coverage sits at 3.86 hours per resident day, essentially the national average, but the weekend dip is only about 7%, which is smaller than what a lot of homes show. Turnover is the real standout: 27.3% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning far fewer people are cycling out the door. The tradeoff shows up in the record. Nineteen deficiencies on file, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one is abuse-related, so ask about that specifically. The last inspection was August 2025, and a 4-star health inspection rating suggests the surveyors didn't find anything serious. Quality measures land midrange at 3 stars.

Care One At New Bedford runs a 154-bed for-profit operation where the nursing hours come in around 3.60 per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average, and weekends dip about 10% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Turnover sits at 29.9%, well under the national 45.8%, which suggests people stick around longer here than at many places. The trade-off shows up in the record: 29 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. Inspectors were last in on August 5, 2025. The staffing rating and the stable workforce are real strengths; the survey history is what keeps this from scoring higher.

Alliance Health At Marina Bay is a nonprofit home in Quincy with 167 beds, and its staffing sits slightly above the national average, 3.99 nurse hours per resident day versus 3.86. That edge narrows on weekends, when coverage runs about 10% under its own weekday level, so the weekday-to-weekend gap is worth asking about directly. Staff turnover comes in at 37.7%, below the national 45.8%, which suggests people tend to stay. Against that, the current inspection record carries 26 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and four abuse-related. The most recent inspection was in November 2025, so the picture is recent.

Mt Greylock runs on a nonprofit model in Pittsfield with 100 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the real story here: 4.20 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average. That edge matters most on weekends, when hours drop about 17% below the home's own weekday level, worth asking about if your family visits then. Turnover sits at 33.3%, well under the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The inspection record backs it up: 8 deficiencies on file, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent visit in June 2025.

Life Care Center Of Attleboro runs 4.09 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% above the national average, but weekend coverage dips roughly 16% below what the home staffs on weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 34.2%, noticeably under the 45.8% national figure, and the home has a clean recent inspection record: 11 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with the last survey in September 2025. The five-star marks on health inspections and quality measures stand out; the three-star staffing rating reflects hours that are solid but not exceptional.

Our Ladys Haven runs on a church-affiliated nonprofit model, and the numbers mostly back that up. Nurse staffing sits at 3.76 hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86, but weekends dip about 8% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the quiet shifts are when you'd want to visit unannounced. The 35.9% turnover is a genuinely good figure against the 45.8% national rate, meaning aides and nurses tend to stay. Inspections turned up 19 deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, and a 4-star health inspection with a recent November 2025 survey suggests the place gets checked and corrected. Worth a visit on a Saturday.

Care One At Wilmington runs 132 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers that stand out most are on the inspection side: four deficiencies on the current record, none of them causing harm or jeopardy, and no abuse citations at all. The last inspection was July 31, 2025, so the record is recent. Staff turnover is the other headline, 18.4% against a national average of 45.8%, which means aides and nurses here tend to stay. Daily nurse staffing sits at 3.95 hours per resident, just above the national 3.86, though weekends run roughly 11% leaner than weekdays, a gap worth asking about if your family visits primarily on Saturdays or Sundays.

Timothy Daniels House runs a tight ship on staffing, 4.44 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% above the national average, which is why CMS gives it top marks there. That matters in a 40-bed home. But 50% annual turnover means half the people caring for your relative will be new within a year, and weekend coverage dips about 5% below weekdays. The tradeoff shows up in inspections: 35 deficiencies on record, including one abuse-related citation, with the last state visit in March 2025. Nothing rose to the level of harm or jeopardy, but a 2-out-of-5 inspection rating suggests the paperwork and care planning haven't kept pace with the staffing numbers.

Royal Braintree runs 204 beds as a for-profit LLC, and its last health inspection came in February 2026. The record shows 33 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one is abuse-related, worth asking about directly. Nurse staffing sits at 3.59 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 10% thinner than weekdays, so coverage dips when families tend to visit. What stands out favorably is turnover: 29.9% against a national 45.8% means aides and nurses are staying put, which matters for consistency of care. Quality and staffing each earned 4 of 5 stars from CMS; inspections earned 2. The gap between those numbers is the real story here.

M I Nursing & Restorative Center runs 250 certified beds in Lawrence under nonprofit ownership, and its staff retention is genuinely unusual: 28.1% annual turnover against a national average of 45.8%. That stability shows in the staffing stars, though the raw bedside hours, 3.83 per resident day, sit just under the national figure, and weekends drop roughly 9% below the home's own weekday coverage. The inspection record is where the picture darkens: 25 deficiencies on file, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus $17,011 in fines across two penalties. Two stars each for health inspections and quality measures tell you regulators and clinical metrics both land mid-range. No abuse citations, at least, and the most recent inspection is recent, January 2026.

Agawam South runs 122 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.64 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 14% below its own weekday coverage, which is worth asking about if your family tends to visit then. Turnover lands at 44.2%, a hair under the national 45.8%. The inspection record shows 28 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey dated March 2026. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspections sit mid-range. Nothing here reads as dangerous, it reads as a home that's adequate on paper but thin on weekend hands.

Life Care Center of Acton runs 155 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.04 hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average of 3.86, though the weekend-to-weekday gap of about 14% means coverage thins out when families tend to visit. Staff turnover of 42.9% is a touch better than the 45.8% national figure, and the home holds 4 out of 5 stars on both health inspections and quality measures, with staffing at 3. Its record shows 16 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, none tied to abuse, and the most recent inspection came in July 2025.

Day Brook Village runs 92 certified beds as a nonprofit, and the staffing picture is genuinely solid: 3.96 nurse hours per resident day sits just above the national average of 3.86, and turnover at 37.2% is meaningfully better than the 45.8% typical elsewhere. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below weekday levels, which is common but worth asking about. The catch is the inspection record, 39 deficiencies on file, though none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the most recent state visit was April 2025. The low inspection score and high quality-measure score tell you care practices look better than the paperwork trail does. Ask to see the plan of correction for those 39 citations.

Vantage At Andover runs 135 certified beds as a for-profit partnership, and its nurse staffing sits right at the national average, 3.90 hours per resident day against 3.86, though weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday coverage. The standout number is turnover: 23.7% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning far fewer caregivers are cycling out the door than is typical. The current record shows 21 deficiencies with none at the harm level, but one is abuse-related, and the last inspection came in August 2025. Ownership is for-profit, which shapes how you read all of this. Worth asking about that abuse citation and weekend coverage directly.

Blaire House Of Worcester runs 75 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.94 hours per resident day, slightly above the national average of 3.86, though weekend coverage drops about 11% below what it provides on weekdays. Staff turnover is 38.6%, notably better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The current inspection record shows 17 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, along with a single fine of $13,095. The last inspection was in August 2025, so the findings are recent. Three-star ratings across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing round out a mixed but not alarming picture.

Care One at Brookline runs 3.58 nurse hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 5% below its own weekday coverage. That thinner weekend floor matters more than the weekday number, since that's when families often visit and when problems tend to surface. The good news is stability: turnover sits at 34.2%, well below the national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses you meet are more likely to still be there next year. The tradeoff is a two-star health inspection rating with 33 deficiencies on record, though none rose to harm or jeopardy and none involved abuse, and the last inspection was recent enough to trust.

Regalcare At Harwich runs leaner on nursing hours than most homes, 3.28 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday coverage. What stands out is the retention: turnover near 30% sits well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters more than raw hours when you're thinking about who actually knows your mother's routine. The inspection record shows 24 deficiencies, none involving harm or jeopardy, and none abuse-related, with the most recent state visit in December 2025. For-profit, LLC-owned, 135 beds. The staffing shortfall is real, but the record behind it is cleaner than the hours alone suggest.

Brentwood Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center runs 159 beds in Danvers under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its staffing is the weak spot: 3.58 nurse hours per resident day sits about 7% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends roughly 10% thinner than weekdays. Its 31.6% annual turnover is notably better than the 45.8% national figure, though. Inspections look solid, a 4/5 health inspection rating, 20 deficiencies on record with none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the most recent survey was April 2026. Quality measures also rate 4/5. The tension here is steady oversight against thin daily coverage, especially on weekends.

Care One At Lexington runs 211 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.55 hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends about 7% thinner than weekdays. That 13% annual turnover, though, is remarkably low against the national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses here tend to stay. The inspection record is the harder read: 41 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a $51,765 fine, with the most recent survey dated December 24, 2025. Quality measures score well, but consistent staffing and a clean survey history are what families should weigh.

Chestnut Hill runs 135 beds in East Longmeadow under corporate for-profit ownership, and its last state inspection was in May 2025, recent enough that the record reflects current conditions. The 27 deficiencies on file include none at the harm or jeopardy level and none tied to abuse, which matters more than the raw count. Nurse staffing sits at 3.63 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 11% thinner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays. Staff turnover of 25.3% is well below the 45.8% national figure, suggesting a steadier workforce than most.
