Our read on Masonicare At Bishop Wicke Health & Rehabilitation
Masonicare At Bishop Wicke runs a nonprofit home in Shelton with 120 certified beds, and its strongest number is staffing: 4.47 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 16% above the national average. That cushion matters because weekend coverage dips about 7% below the home's own weekday level, so the extra hours absorb some of that drop rather than leaving residents short. Staff turnover sits at 35.5%, meaningfully better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests a more stable caregiver group than most places manage. The tradeoffs show up elsewhere. Inspectors have logged 25 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none abuse-related, and one fine of $8,018. The most recent inspection was September 2025, so the record is current.
