Our read on Newbridge On The Charles Skilled Nursing Facility
Newbridge On The Charles runs 4.56 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18% above the national average of 3.86, and that staffing edge holds up on weekends, which dip only about 8% below the home's own weekday level. The inspection record is thin in the best sense: one deficiency total, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with the last survey dated May 2026. Staffing earns four stars rather than five, so this isn't a home coasting on reputation; it's a nonprofit with a clean record and above-average coverage that loses a little ground on weekends. For families comparing options in Norfolk County, the numbers here are steady rather than spectacular.
Written from the CMS figures for this home shown further down this page. Nothing here is paid for or supplied by the home.
