Our read on Hearthstone Nursing & Rehabilitation Center

Hearthstone runs a for-profit shop in Medford with 87 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are real: 4.41 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14 percent above the national average, with turnover at 37.1 percent against a national 45.8. That's a workforce that mostly stays put. The problem is almost everything else. Inspectors have cited 75 deficiencies, six serious enough to put residents in harm's way, nine tied to abuse, and the state has levied three fines totaling $230,522. The most recent inspection was May 2025, so the record is current, not stale. Weekends run about 14 percent thinner than weekdays. If you're weighing this one, ask who's on the floor Saturday night.
