Nursing homes across Capitol County, Connecticut, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Autumn Lake Healthcare At New Britain runs 282 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its recent inspection record is genuinely strong, a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating with 26 deficiencies on file, none of them at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. Where the picture darkens is staffing: 3.39 nurse hours per resident day sits about 12% under the national average, weekends run roughly 8% lighter than weekdays, and turnover hits 48.1%, slightly above the national 45.8%. So you have a home that inspects well and scores well on quality measures, but asks residents to get by on leaner day-to-day coverage than most.
Apple Rehab Farmington Valley runs 160 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing score sits at 1 out of 5 stars from CMS, the weakest mark the federal system gives. That matters more than the 44.1% annual turnover rate, which actually lands slightly below the national average of 45.8%. The inspection history shows 39 deficiencies on the current record, including 5 tied to abuse, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was June 3, 2025. Health inspection and quality measure ratings both come in at 3 out of 5. The staffing shortfall is the number worth asking about directly when you tour.
Nurse staffing at Apple Rehab Rocky Hill runs about 3.06 hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday coverage. The inspection record shows 42 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $28,565; the most recent inspection was September 2024. Staff turnover is 17.8%, well under the 45.8% national average, which suggests a steadier workforce than many for-profit corporate homes, though that stability hasn't translated into strong marks on health inspections or quality measures, both rated 2 out of 5.
Apple Rehab Cromwell runs 85 beds as a for-profit corporate home, and its staffing sits at 3.44 nurse hours per resident day, about 11% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping roughly 5% below its own weekday numbers. Turnover of 43.4% is actually a hair better than the national 45.8%, so the problem here isn't retention. It's the record: 40 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, ten tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $27,991, all from an inspection dated December 2025. The government's own staffing score comes in at 4 out of 5, but inspections and quality measures both land at 2, which tells you where the trouble actually lives.
Cherry Brook runs about 3.59 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average, and staffing thins further on weekends, about 10% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 55.4% against a national 45.8%, so a large share of the people caring for residents are new to the building and still learning it.
The inspection record is the harder read: 28 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus a $17,192 fine. The most recent inspection was in December 2024. Quality and inspection ratings both land at 2 out of 5. Nonprofit ownership doesn't offset the numbers here, ask direct questions about weekend coverage and what changed after that harm-level finding.
Saint Mary Home runs a tight ship on staffing retention: 23.8% turnover is roughly half the national rate, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents' routines and catch changes early. Nurse staffing sits just under the national average at 3.80 hours per resident day, and weekends dip about 8% below the home's own weekday coverage, so ask how that gap gets filled. The inspection record is the softer spot, 26 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with the most recent survey in November 2024. Quality measures score well, but the survey history is what a family should read closely.
Hebrew Center for Health and Rehabilitation runs 257 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.76 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 3% under the national average, with weekends running about 10% thinner than its own weekdays. Turnover is the bright spot: 34.6% against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay. The inspection record is where it gets harder. A 2/5 health inspection rating, 43 deficiencies on file including 9 tied to abuse, and one fine of $27,927. No deficiency reached harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was recent, in January 2026. Strong quality measures and steady staff, weighed against a long citation history.
Bloomfield Center runs on thinner nursing coverage than most homes, 3.32 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 9% below its own weekday level. That's a real gap when someone needs help on a Saturday. Staff turnover sits at 33%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the aides who are there tend to stay. The bigger concern is the record: 55 deficiencies, 13 of them abuse-related, and a 2-out-of-5 inspection rating, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level and the most recent inspection was in May 2025. Quality measures score 4 out of 5. For-profit corporate ownership. If you're considering this one, ask directly about weekend coverage and how abuse allegations get investigated.
Parkway Pavilion runs 130 beds in Enfield, and the staffing numbers are where I'd start. At 3.45 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 11% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 6% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover, at 45.3%, is essentially the national rate, so that's not the problem here. The inspection record is: 52 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, with a single fine of $8,018 and a one-star health inspection rating. The most recent inspection was September 2024. Quality measures score better than the health inspection does, which tells you the day-to-day care record and the paperwork don't match up.
Civita Care Center At Cheshire runs 120 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is the main thing to know: 51 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse. The last inspection was January 15, 2025, so that record is recent, not stale. Nurse staffing sits at 3.58 hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 8% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is the bright spot at 30.8%, well below the 45.8% national figure, which suggests a steadier workforce than many homes. The staffing star rating reflects that relative stability, but thin weekend coverage plus the abuse-related findings are what pull the overall picture down.
Apple Rehab Colchester runs on 3.25 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 16 percent under the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 12 percent below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 54.8 percent against a national 45.8 percent, so the people providing care are changing often.
The inspection record is the bigger concern: 49 deficiencies, including 5 at the harm or jeopardy level and 9 tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $41,203. The most recent inspection was August 2025.
For-profit corporate ownership, 60 beds. The staffing star rating looks acceptable on paper, but it doesn't reflect what those turnover numbers and the harm-level deficiencies suggest about daily life here.
Westside Care Center runs 162 certified beds in Manchester under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing. At 3.10 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 20% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops another 13% below its own weekday level, meaning the thinnest shifts land exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 33%, better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows 41 deficiencies, seven tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level; the last inspection was November 2024. Its quality measure rating is strong, but that sits alongside a two-star inspection score and two-star staffing.
Riverside Health & Rehabilitation Center runs 345 certified beds in East Hartford under corporate for-profit ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 3.80 hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 8% leaner than weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Where it stands out is retention: 21.9% turnover against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. The inspection record is the harder read. Forty-three deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, plus three fines totaling $61,394, with the most recent inspection dated January 22, 2026.
Trinity Hill runs lean on nursing hours, 2.92 per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national figure, and weekends get thinner still, dropping about 9% from its own weekday level. The inspection record carries 37 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, with a $58,994 fine on the books; the last visit was October 2024. Turnover at 26.1% actually beats the national rate substantially, which suggests some steadiness in the workforce even as daily coverage lags. Quality measures score well, but staffing and inspection results are where the concern sits.
Complete Care At Kimberly Hall North is a 150-bed for-profit home in Windsor, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice. At 3.16 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 18% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 8% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 32.4%, well below the national 45.8%, which suggests some stability in the workforce. The harder read is the inspection record: 41 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, nine tied to abuse, and a one-star health inspection rating. A $13,065 fine and a September 2024 inspection round out the picture.
Chelsea Place runs 234 beds in Hartford under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 2.86 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86. Weekends are thinner still, about 10% under its own weekday levels. What stands out in the inspection record is volume and severity: 62 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and eight tied to abuse. Both CMS health inspection and quality measure ratings land at 1 out of 5 stars. One number cuts the other way, annual turnover of 23.6% is well below the national 45.8%, so staff appear to stay, even if there aren't enough of them on the floor.
Caleb Hitchcock Health Center sits on strong staffing numbers: 5.91 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national average, and weekend coverage barely dips from weekday levels. Turnover runs about half the national rate, which matters for consistency of care. The problem is the inspection record. Twenty-one deficiencies, three serious enough to put residents in harm's way, three tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $55,350, all from a state survey dated November 2025, so it's recent. A nonprofit operator with a stable workforce still hasn't translated that into safe conditions on the ground. Families should ask directly what changed since that last survey.
Monsignor Bojnowski Manor runs 60 beds as a nonprofit, and its quality measure scores are strong, a 5 out of 5 there. The problem is the people delivering that care. Nurse staffing sits at 3.30 hours per resident per day, well under the 3.86 national average, and weekends run thinner than weekdays. Turnover hits 70% against a 45.8% national rate, meaning most of the aides and nurses you'd meet this year won't be there next year. Add 37 deficiencies on the current record, including one at harm level and six tied to abuse, plus five fines totaling about $22,000 from a February 2025 inspection. Good outcome scores are harder to trust when the workforce behind them keeps changing.
Marlborough Health & Rehabilitation Center runs 120 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble starts: 3.44 nurse hours per resident day sits about 11% below the national average, and weekends drop another 11% below its own weekday level. Turnover at 36.8% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the problem isn't retention so much as how few hours each resident gets. The inspection record is heavier: 40 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 11 abuse-related, with two fines totaling $206,228. The last inspection was August 2023, so that record has had time to age without being cleared.
Summit at Plantsville runs 150 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.58 hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover runs 38.7%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the same faces are more likely to stick around. What pulls the record down is the inspection side: 43 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating and a $3,652 fine.
