Our read on Harvard Rest Haven

Harvard Rest Haven runs on a fairly lean crew for a 30-bed home, though the 4.41 nurse hours per resident day lands above the national average. Weekends are where it thins out, roughly 19% less staffing than weekdays, which is common but worth knowing if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 48.5%, a bit above the national figure, so continuity of caregivers isn't guaranteed. The inspection record is genuinely strong: a 5/5 health inspection rating, ten deficiencies on file with none at the harm level, and the most recent survey done in February 2025. One abuse-related deficiency is on the record, which you should ask about directly.
