Our read on Glencliff Home For The Elderly

Glencliff Home for the Elderly runs on one of the steadiest nursing staffs you'll find. It's a state-run facility in Grafton County with 130 certified beds, and its 4.23 nurse hours per resident day sit about 9% above the national average. Turnover is the real standout: 13.9% a year, against a national average near 46%. That kind of retention usually means residents see the same faces month after month. The tradeoff shows up in inspections. CMS gives the home a single star for health inspections, and there are 11 deficiencies on the current record, though none involved actual harm or jeopardy, and none were abuse-related. The last inspection was October 2025, so the picture is recent. Weekend staffing dips about 12% below weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits then.
