Our read on Maine Veterans Home - Scarborough
Maine Veterans Home in Scarborough runs a tight ship on the staffing side, 4.84 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above what's typical nationally, and its recent inspection history backs that up. State surveyors found nine deficiencies at the last visit in November 2024, but none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy, and there's nothing abuse-related on the record. Turnover sits at 36.4%, meaningfully better than the 45.8% national figure, though weekend coverage does dip about 13% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about. The one soft spot is the quality measure score, which lags at 2 out of 5 stars even as inspections and staffing both hit the top mark.
