Care One At Peabody runs 150 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its inspection record is the standout: a five-star health inspection rating with 16 deficiencies on file, none rising to harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. That last inspection was recent, March 2026. Staffing tells a more mixed story, 3.81 nurse hours per resident day sits just under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 12% below the home's own weekday coverage, so ask how weekend shifts are actually covered. The genuinely strong number is turnover at 21.7%, less than half the national 45.8%, which suggests aides and nurses tend to stay.

The Oaks runs 122 beds in New Bedford under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.66 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday coverage, so your visit timing matters. What stands out is turnover at 28.7%, well under the national 45.8%, which suggests a steadier crew than most. Fourteen deficiencies are on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in March 2026. Federal ratings put health inspections and quality measures at 4 of 5 stars each, staffing at 3.

Penacook Place runs on 3.76 nurse hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and weekend coverage slips about 4% below its weekday level, worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 39%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether your parent sees the same faces month to month. The tradeoff shows up in the inspection record: 26 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse, plus $33,677 in fines across four penalties. The most recent inspection was June 2025, so the picture is current.

Maristhill runs a lean, stable nursing crew: 3.90 nurse hours per resident day, just above the national mark, with weekend coverage dipping about 8% below weekdays. That consistency shows up in turnover, 15.3% against a national average near 46%, which matters because familiar aides tend to notice changes in a resident sooner. The trouble sits on the inspection side, where 43 deficiencies include one at the harm level and four tied to abuse, and the last survey came in late 2025. Staffing is the strength here; the survey record is what a family should ask about directly before deciding.

Briarwood runs 3.99 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, but that edge narrows on weekends, when staffing drops roughly 11% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 23.2%, about half the national rate, which matters for consistency of care. The inspection record is mixed: 23 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus a single fine of $8,788. The most recent inspection was August 2025, so the picture is current. One hundred twenty beds under for-profit LLC ownership in Needham. The staffing numbers and low turnover are genuine strengths; the deficiency count, especially the harm and abuse citations, is where the caution lies.

Care One At Weymouth runs 154 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the direct-care hours tell you something the marketing won't: 3.44 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 11 percent under the national average, with weekends dipping about 12 percent below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 33.6 percent, which is actually better than the 45.8 percent national figure, that's a real point in its favor, since stable staff tend to know residents' routines. The inspection record is the weaker side: 30 deficiencies, a 2/5 health inspection rating, though none reached harm or jeopardy level and none were abuse-related. Its most recent inspection was January 13, 2026. Quality measures score 4/5, so clinical outcomes look better than the staffing and inspection numbers suggest.

Life Care Center of Raynham runs 154 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.72 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 4% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 13% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the quietest shifts get the thinnest numbers. What stands out favorably is turnover: 24.3% against a national average of 45.8%, which suggests a steadier crew than most. The record shows 18 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection dated March 2026. Staffing and quality measures both earned 4 stars from CMS; staffing landed at 3.

Harbor House runs 142 certified beds in Hingham under for-profit LLC ownership, and its numbers are decent without being remarkable. Nurse staffing sits at 3.54 hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends slip another 8% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Where it stands out is retention: 32.4% annual turnover against a national average of 45.8% suggests people stay, which matters for consistency of care. The current record shows 22 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related and worth asking about directly. Its last inspection was in November 2025, so the picture is recent.

Hillcrest Commons runs 265 beds in Pittsfield as a nonprofit, and its staffing sits at 3.75 nurse hours per resident day, slightly under the national 3.86, with weekends about 13% thinner than weekdays, so coverage dips when families tend to visit. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 52 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, which is why CMS gave it a single star for health inspections despite solid marks on quality measures and staffing. Turnover at 34.5% beats the national 45.8%, and the last inspection was March 2025, so the record is current.

Hancock Park runs 142 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.75 hours per resident day, roughly 3% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 7% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot: 35.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning caregivers here tend to stay longer than at the typical home. What tempers that is the inspection record, 23 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in December 2025. The quality measure rating of 4 out of 5 shows clinical care can score well even when the survey history is crowded.

Webster Park runs on more nursing hours than most homes, 5.12 per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and its quality measure score is as high as CMS gives. The catch is who's delivering those hours. Annual turnover sits at 76.2% while the national figure is 45.8%, and weekend staffing drops roughly a fifth below weekday levels, so the coverage on a Saturday afternoon may look different from the roster average. Fourteen deficiencies sit on the current record, none involving harm or abuse, and the last inspection was April 2026. The for-profit limited liability company structure is worth noting mainly because it tells you who answers when something goes wrong.

Alliance Health At Coleman runs on thinner staffing than most homes nationally, about 3.48 nurse hours per resident day against a 3.86 average, and weekends dip roughly 16% below its own weekday coverage. Annual turnover sits at 53.7%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, though the nonprofit's inspection record is solid: 12 deficiencies with none at the harm level, one tied to abuse, and a survey completed in September 2025. The ownership change in the past year is worth asking about directly, since new operators sometimes shift how a building is run before the next inspection shows it.

Care One at Newton runs 202 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its most recent inspection in July 2025 turned up 47 deficiencies, five of them serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, three tied to abuse. The health inspection rating sits at 1 out of 5. Staffing lands at 3.76 nurse hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, with weekends running about 5% thinner than weekdays. The genuinely bright spots: turnover at 29.3% beats the national 45.8% by a wide margin, and the quality measure score is perfect. Two fines totaling $20,186 round out the record.

Lighthouse runs 123 beds in Revere under limited liability ownership, and its nursing hours land at 3.70 per resident day, roughly 4% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts come when families often visit. Staff turnover is 26.5%, which is meaningfully better than the national 45.8%, people tend to stay. What pulls the record down is the inspection side: 38 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with a 2/5 inspection rating. The last survey was February 2026. Quality measures score 4/5 and staffing 4/5, so the day-to-day care numbers look steadier than the compliance history.

Medford Rehabilitation and Nursing Center runs 142 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.42 nurse hours per resident day, about 11% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 8% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover comes in at 43%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. The current inspection record shows 37 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse; the most recent inspection was August 2025. Its staffing star (4/5) outpaces its health inspection and quality measure stars (both 3/5), which is worth weighing against that deficiency history before you decide.

Sixteen Acres runs a bit leaner than the typical American nursing home on nurse staffing, 3.72 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 7% below what the home itself staffs during the week. Turnover sits at 43.1%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, so the crew here is a little more stable than most, even if there aren't quite as many hands per shift. The inspection record is the strongest part of the picture: four stars, 28 deficiencies logged with none at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent survey came in December 2025, so the findings are recent.

Lafayette Rehabilitation & Skilled Nursing runs 65 certified beds in Marblehead under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is the strongest thing it has going: a 5-star health inspection rating, nine total deficiencies on file, and none of them at the harm or jeopardy level. The staffing picture is more mixed. At 3.84 nurse hours per resident day it sits just under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips about 1% below its own weekday level. The number worth asking about is turnover: 53.1% of staff leaving annually against a national average of 45.8%. Quality measures score 2 out of 5. A recent inspection in August 2025 helps.

North End Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center runs 4.57 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18 percent above the national average, and its 41.4 percent turnover sits slightly under the national figure. That's a decent staffing story on paper. The inspection record tells a different one: 18 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, one tied to abuse, and a $17,345 fine, with the most recent inspection dated April 30, 2026. Weekends thin out about 13 percent below weekday coverage, so the hours that look generous across the week aren't evenly spread. For-profit, LLC-owned, 100 beds. The quality measure score of 4 out of 5 is doing a lot of work here; the inspection score of 2 is the number I'd ask about first.

Mont Marie runs on a for-profit LLC model with 84 beds, and the staffing numbers tell a mixed story. At 4.23 nurse hours per resident day, it's about 10% above the national average, which matters, but weekends dip roughly 12% below its own weekday coverage, and turnover sits at 47.6%, slightly worse than the 45.8% national figure. That churn can undercut even good staffing ratios, since familiar faces matter for care. The current inspection record shows 20 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with $8,278 in fines and a survey completed in April 2025. Quality measures score well, but the health inspection and staffing ratings both land mid-range, which is where the real picture lives.

Seacoast runs 142 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.59 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average, with weekends running roughly another 10% thinner than weekdays. That pattern matters more than the yearly average, because weekends are when families often visit and when problems surface. Turnover at 42.2% is slightly better than the national 45.8%, which is a point in its favor, but the inspection record carries 21 deficiencies, including one at harm level and one abuse-related, plus a $34,808 fine. The last inspection was May 2025, so the record is recent. Ask about weekend coverage and how that abuse deficiency was resolved.
