Every Medicare-certified nursing home in Connecticut, graded on inspections, staffing, turnover
and enforcement history.
6 homes in the state sit in the federal Special Focus programme.
Davis Place runs 190 beds in Danielson under individual for-profit ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.74 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 13% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 34.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses stick around longer than at the typical home.
The inspection record is the real concern. Twenty-nine deficiencies, three of them serious enough to put residents at harm or jeopardy, plus one $14,015 fine. A 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating and an August 2024 inspection date round that out.
Complete Care At Fox Hill runs 120 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.49 hours per resident day, roughly 10 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 9 percent below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record carries 43 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 6 tied to abuse; CMS has fined the home once, for $16,801. Staff turnover is 37.4 percent, better than the 45.8 percent national figure. The most recent inspection was March 3, 2026, and the home's two-out-of-five stars for health inspections and staffing reflect what that record shows.
Complete Care at Harrington Court runs on thin staffing, 3.17 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip even further below its own weekday levels. That gap shows up in the numbers: a one-star CMS staffing rating, and turnover near 49% means nearly half the nursing staff leaves within a year, making consistent care hard to sustain. The inspection record is heavy too, 48 deficiencies, including six tied to abuse and one serious enough to risk harm, plus a $25,974 fine. Quality measures score well, but those depend on steady hands delivering the care. A for-profit limited liability company owns the 130-bed home; its last inspection was in April 2025.
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 Shelton Lakes runs 106 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.53 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 8% below its own weekday levels. Turnover is the brighter spot at 34.4%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some consistency in who's showing up. The inspection record is where you'd want to ask questions: 50 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy. Its most recent inspection came in December 2024, so the picture is current. Quality measures scored 1 out of 5, meaning clinical outcomes lag even where staffing looks adequate on paper. Ask about weekend coverage and how those abuse deficiencies were resolved.
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.
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.
Candlewood Valley runs lean on nursing hours, 3.14 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly 19% below it, and weekends dip about 12% lower than the home's own weekdays. That thinner weekend coverage matters most, since that's when families tend to visit and when problems can go unnoticed. The inspection record shows 40 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with the last inspection dated March 31, 2026. Staff turnover sits at 39.7%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, a genuinely good sign in a for-profit, limited-liability operation. Quality measures score well at 4 out of 5 stars, but staffing and inspections both land at 3, which is where the overall picture settles.
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.
Whispering Pines runs 90 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.72 nurse hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 6% below its own weekday coverage, which matters when you're thinking about who's actually on the floor on a Saturday. The inspection record shows a recent visit in March 2026 with 34 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse. Turnover at 43.9% is marginally better than the 45.8% national figure, but the quality measure and staffing ratings both land at 2 out of 5. A 4-out-of-5 inspection star doesn't erase what those numbers suggest about day-to-day consistency.
Apple Rehab West Haven is a 90-bed for-profit home that CMS has placed in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the homes with the most persistent inspection problems. The record backs that up: 68 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse, plus a $26,685 fine. Staffing sits about 10% under the national average at 3.47 nurse hours per resident day, and weekends run roughly 11% thinner than weekdays. The one bright spot is turnover at 24.7%, well below the 45.8% national figure, so the people who are there tend to stay. But a one-star health inspection rating and that deficiency history are the things to weigh hardest.
Apple Rehab Uncasville runs 130 beds under corporate ownership, and its 3.18 nurse staffing hours per resident day sit about 18% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends are thinner still, roughly 10% below the home's own weekday coverage. Turnover of 35.2% actually beats the national 45.8%, so the problem isn't retention so much as how many hands are scheduled per shift. The inspection record is the harder read: 42 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse, and a $16,065 fine, with the last inspection in March 2024. Two-out-of-five stars on health inspections and quality measures tell you where the risk concentrates.
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.
Norwich Sub-Acute and Nursing runs 120 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.33 hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends are thinner still, about 9% below the home's own weekday level, which matters when families visit and needs don't pause. The inspection record shows 22 deficiencies, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with $47,483 in fines across two penalties. Staff turnover is 37.6%, better than the 45.8% national figure, though the last full inspection dates to March 2023. For-profit, LLC-owned, with middling quality and inspection scores but the weakest marks on staffing.
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.
Apple Rehab Watertown runs 110 beds as a for-profit corporation, and its staffing sits at 3.46 nurse hours per resident day, about 10% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends run roughly 10% leaner than weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 35.2%, better than the 45.8% national figure, meaning the staff who are there tend to stay. The inspection record carries 36 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and six tied to abuse, plus a $25,058 fine. The most recent inspection was March 2026. Quality measures score low even though inspections score well, worth asking about.
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.
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.
Wolcott Hall runs 60 beds in Torrington under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are where you'd want to look first. At 3.29 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 15% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 13% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 45.8%, right at the national mark. The inspection record shows 33 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, with a single fine of $11,190. The last inspection was February 2025. Federal quality measures score 1 out of 5.
