All 4 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Bristol,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
The Pines at Bristol runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes, 3.65 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 10% below what it manages on weekdays. Its quality measure scores are strong, but that measure reflects resident outcomes, not the hands available to respond when someone needs help at 2 a.m. Turnover at 39.8% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The current inspection record shows 28 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. Corporate for-profit ownership, a March 2025 inspection, and a mid-range inspection history round out the picture.
Village Green runs a for-profit corporation home with 120 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.08 hours per resident day, about 6% above the national average of 3.86. That edge narrows on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 10% below the home's own weekday level, so the weekday numbers don't tell the whole story. Turnover among nursing staff is 45.2%, essentially matching the national average of 45.8%. The current inspection record carries 38 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, along with two fines totaling $22,411. The most recent inspection was March 12, 2025.
Ingraham Manor runs 3.88 nurse hours per resident day, which is essentially the national average of 3.86, but look closer and the weekend tells a different story, running about 11% under its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 38.1%, meaningfully better than the 45.8% national figure, though a recent ownership change adds uncertainty. The inspection record is the real concern: 17 deficiencies, three serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus $34,369 in fines across three penalties. Two of five stars on health inspections and quality measures, last surveyed in October 2023, suggests a home where the care floor isn't the problem so much as consistency and follow-through.
Civita Care Sheriden Woods runs 146 beds in Bristol under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.12 hours per resident day, roughly 19% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends are thinner still, about 8% below the home's own weekday coverage. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 58 deficiencies, four of them at harm or jeopardy level and ten tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $28,030. Turnover at 43.3% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, but that's the one number here that isn't working against it. The last inspection was March 2026.
