Our read on Brandon Woods Of Dartmouth
Brandon Woods of Dartmouth runs 118 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits right at the national average of 3.86 hours per resident day. That sounds fine until you notice weekends run about 11% thinner than weekdays, and turnover hits 49.6%, nearly four points above the national rate. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 40 deficiencies, five of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus three tied to abuse. Three fines totaling $31,009 are on file, and the last inspection was February 2025. Federal ratings put health inspections and quality measures both at 2 out of 5. If you're weighing this one, ask hard questions about weekend coverage and how they've addressed those abuse-related findings.
