What to ask about before you visit

  • $21,453 in federal fines

Our read on Woodridge Nursing Home

Woodridge Nursing Home in Barre runs a genuinely strong staffing operation, 4.94 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 28% above the national average of 3.86, which is what earns it a four-star staffing rating. That cushion matters, since weekend coverage drops about 18% below its own weekday level. The harder question is stability: annual turnover sits at 62.6% against a national 45.8%, meaning a large share of those hours are delivered by people who weren't there last year. The inspection record reflects that tension, 32 deficiencies on file, including 10 abuse-related citations and one at the harm level, with a two-star health inspection rating and a $21,453 fine. The most recent inspection was September 12, 2025.
