River Terrace runs lean on nursing hours, 3.37 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 11% below its own weekday coverage. That thinness is the main thing pulling its overall picture down, even though turnover at 33.3% actually beats the national 45.8% and the inspection history is strong: a five-star health inspection rating, only two deficiencies on record, and a recent survey from March 2026. One of those two deficiencies did rise to the harm or jeopardy level, which matters more than the count suggests, and there's a single fine of $8,964. The for-profit LLC ownership is worth knowing, but the real question for a family is whether the weekday-to-weekend staffing gap shows up on the floor.

Southshore Health Care Center runs on 3.29 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average, and weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday coverage. The one bright spot is retention: 22.2% turnover is well below the 45.8% national figure. But the inspection record is where the trouble sits, 61 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and eight tied to abuse, along with a $26,395 fine and a one-star health inspection rating. Quality measures score well at four stars, which often reflects charting more than day-to-day care. For-profit corporate ownership, 96 beds, and the most recent inspection in August 2025. Ask hard questions about supervision and weekend coverage.

Care One At Essex Park runs 202 beds in Beverly under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is the strongest part of the picture, a four-star health inspection rating with the most recent survey completed in April 2025. The problem sits underneath that: 19 deficiencies on record, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, plus one abuse-related finding and a $35,968 fine. Nurse staffing averages 3.61 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national figure, and weekends run roughly 8% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is genuinely low at 28.7% against a national 45.8%, which matters for consistency of care. The quality measure rating holds at four stars, but thin weekend coverage and those harm-level citations are what pull the overall picture down.

Chestnut Woods runs 88 beds in Saugus under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.45 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 11 percent under the national average, with weekends running about 13 percent thinner than weekdays. That staffing shortfall is the main reason its staffing star rating lands at 2 out of 5, even though turnover at 40.3 percent actually beats the national 45.8 percent. The clinical picture looks stronger: a 5/5 quality measure rating and a clean record on harm and abuse, with zero deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level. But 33 total deficiencies is a lot of paperwork to carry, and the most recent inspection was September 2025.

Parsons Hill runs on thinner nurse staffing than most homes, 3.18 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends about 10% leaner than weekdays. That gap is what drives the two-out-of-five staffing rating, and it matters most on Saturdays and Sundays when families tend to visit. The inspection record is mixed: 45 deficiencies on file, two tied to abuse, none rising to actual harm or jeopardy, and the most recent state visit was in March 2025. Ownership is for-profit, through a limited liability company. One genuine bright spot is turnover at 30%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests a steadier crew than many competitors.

Prescott House runs 126 beds in North Andover under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.59 nurse hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 10% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot: 28.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses here tend to stick around. But the inspection record is the weight on this home: 38 deficiencies, including one at harm level and one abuse-related, with a $15,935 fine and a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating. The most recent inspection was January 21, 2026.

Mill Brook runs 152 certified beds in Fall River under corporate ownership, and its staffing is the number to sit with: 3.27 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent under the national average, with weekends about 12 percent thinner than weekdays. Turnover sits at 43.2 percent, slightly better than the national 45.8 percent, so the problem isn't retention so much as how few hours reach the floor. The current record shows 44 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, though the most recent inspection was August 2025 and quality measures score well. Ask about weekend coverage and how those harm citations were resolved.

Care One At Concord runs leaner on nursing hours than most homes, 3.51 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and the gap widens on weekends, when coverage drops about 8% below its own weekday level. That thin margin matters more given six deficiencies on the current record, including one involving harm or jeopardy and one tied to abuse, plus a $7,901 fine. What works in its favor: staff turnover sits at 30.1%, well under the 45.8% national figure, so the people who are there tend to stay. A four-star inspection rating and a January 2026 survey suggest the problems aren't going unaddressed. Corporate-owned and for-profit, it's a home where continuity helps offset staffing that's below par.

Pilgrim Rehabilitation runs 4.14 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 37% sits below the 45.8% national figure, both signs of a stable floor. Weekend staffing drops about 11% from weekday levels, so ask how coverage holds up on Saturdays and Sundays. The current record shows 7 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in January 2026. The weaker spot is the 2/5 quality measure rating, which reflects how residents' clinical outcomes track against expected benchmarks rather than how the place is run day to day. Corporate for-profit ownership, 152 beds.

Garden Place runs 133 certified beds in Attleboro under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staff retention is the standout number here: 23.4% annual turnover against a national average of 45.8%. That kind of stability matters, but it doesn't offset the inspection record. There are 43 deficiencies on file, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $82,488. Nurse staffing sits at 3.42 hours per resident day, about 11% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 7% thinner than weekdays. The last inspection was December 10, 2025. Low turnover is a genuine strength here, but the harm-level findings and thin weekend coverage are the things I'd ask about directly.

Andover Manor Rehab And Nursing runs 174 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits slightly under the national average, 3.80 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86, with weekends dropping about 12% below its own weekday level. Turnover is 47%, just above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is where the real weight sits: 51 deficiencies, three of them abuse-related, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was recent, in January 2026. Quality measures score well, but a two-star health inspection rating and that abuse-related count are the numbers a family should ask about directly before deciding.

Regalcare At Greenfield runs a 120-bed for-profit operation, and its staffing sits at 3.24 nurse hours per resident day, about 16 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 7 percent below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts are the ones when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the stronger side: a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating, last survey in January 2025, and 18 deficiencies on file with none at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related. Turnover lands at 39.5 percent, better than the 45.8 percent national figure, though that only partly offsets a 2-out-of-5 staffing rating. If you're weighing this one, ask how the weekend floor is actually covered.

Marian Manor of Taunton runs on a nonprofit model with 116 certified beds, and its staffing sits at 3.80 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday coverage, which matters if your family visits on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover is the bright spot: 35.5% versus a national average of 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses tend to stick around longer here than at the typical home. The caution is in the inspection record, 28 deficiencies, including one at harm level and four tied to abuse, plus an $8,788 fine. The most recent inspection was March 2025, so the picture is current.

Brookside runs a for-profit shop with 81 beds in Webster, and the staffing numbers are its strongest card, 3.88 nurse hours per resident day, just barely over the national average, with a 4-out-of-5 staffing rating. Turnover sits at 41.8%, below the national 45.8%, which matters for whether you see the same faces month to month. The problem is what inspections keep finding: 30 deficiencies on the current record, including one at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, against a 1-out-of-5 quality measure rating. Weekend coverage also drops about 7% below weekday levels. Inspectors were last in on July 30, 2025. Ask pointed questions about that abuse citation and the harm-level finding before you decide.

Palm Springs Post Acute runs 124 certified beds in Chelmsford under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing you'd want to know about. Total nurse coverage sits at 3.62 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 13% below what the home staffs during the week. That matters for a family thinking about Saturday-night call bells. Turnover is 43.3%, which is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, so aides and nurses aren't leaving faster than average. But the inspection record carries 28 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse. The health inspection rating sits at 2 out of 5, with a recent survey date of November 2025.

The nurse staffing here runs about 4.62 hours per resident day, roughly 20% above the national average, and the staff tends to stay, 32.7% turnover against a national rate near 46%. Weekends are thinner, though, running about 15% below weekday coverage, so ask how weekends are actually handled. The inspection record is mixed: 29 deficiencies on file, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and $166,780 in fines across 14 penalties. No abuse citations. The last inspection was recent, February 2026, and the health inspection rating sits at 4 of 5 stars.

Cape Regency runs lean on nursing hours, 3.35 per resident day, roughly 13 percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 12 percent below its own weekday levels. Turnover is the one bright spot: 29.1 percent against a national 45.8 percent, so the staff who are there tend to stay. The inspection record is the real problem. Forty-seven deficiencies on the current record, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with the most recent inspection in May 2025. For-profit, LLC-owned, 120 beds. If you're weighing this one, ask specifically about that harm-level finding and how the home covers weekends.

Eliot Center runs 114 beds in Natick under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.71 nurse hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average, with weekends roughly 7% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is 40.5%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the same faces are more likely to stick around. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 43 deficiencies with a 2-star health inspection rating, though none rose to harm or jeopardy and none involved abuse. The most recent inspection was January 2025, so the picture is current. Quality measures also land at 2 stars.

Royal Megansett runs about 3.92 nurse hours per resident per day, just barely above the national average, but that thin margin is worth a closer look, because weekend staffing drops roughly 11% below what the home covers Monday through Friday. The staffing star comes in at 2 out of 5, and turnover sits at 48.1%, a bit worse than the 45.8% national figure. The current record shows 23 deficiencies, none at the harm level but one abuse-related, and inspectors were last on site in April 2025, which is recent enough. A 4-star inspection rating and 3-star quality measures are the stronger parts of the picture; staffing is the weak one.

Brockton Post Acute Care runs 169 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.47 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip another 10% below its own weekday levels, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 37.5%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, and the quality measure rating is a perfect 5/5. But 33 deficiencies sit on the current record, and the staffing star is only 2/5. Nothing on that list rises to harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was April 2025, recent enough to trust.
