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.
Greentree Manor runs 90 certified beds in Waterford under corporate, for-profit ownership, and the numbers tell a divided story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.95 hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, but weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 64.9% against a national 45.8%. That churn matters more than the headline staffing figure.
The inspection record is where things get serious: 89 deficiencies on the current record, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 12 abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in May 2025. Both the health inspection and quality measure ratings sit at 1 out of 5 stars, while staffing earns 3. That gap between how the place is staffed and how it's actually run is worth asking about directly.
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.
Apple Rehab Guilford runs 90 beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.20 hours per resident day, roughly 17% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts are the ones families tend to visit.
Turnover lands at 43.9%, essentially in line with the national 45.8%, so that's not the standout problem here. The inspection record is: 39 deficiencies on file, none flagged at harm or jeopardy level, but eight tied to abuse. The last inspection was February 2025, so the picture is current. Two stars each on health inspections and staffing, three on quality measures.
Norwalk Care Center runs 150 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.74 hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday coverage, and staff turnover is 42.3%, a touch better than the 45.8% national figure. What stands out is the inspection record: 41 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 7 tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $198,225. Its last inspection was October 2024. Quality measures score well, but the health inspection rating tells a different story, and that gap is worth asking about directly.
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.
Harbor Village North runs 128 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its 3.19 total nurse staffing hours per resident day sit about 17% under the national average of 3.86, thin coverage that gets thinner on weekends, roughly 7% below the home's own weekday level. Turnover, at 32.3%, is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the problem isn't retention. It's the inspection record: 49 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 9 abuse-related, plus a $106,050 fine. A 1/5 health inspection rating against 3/5 on quality and staffing measures tells you where the risk concentrates.
Civita Care Center At Milford runs 120 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.60 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends dropping about 15% below its own weekday levels. That gap matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when families often visit and needs don't pause.
Turnover runs 40.9%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, so there's some continuity in the workforce. But the inspection record is the harder read: 59 deficiencies on file, including 8 tied to abuse and 2 at harm or jeopardy level, with one fine of $14,433. The most recent inspection was December 2024.
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.
Civita Care Center at Danbury runs 3.39 total nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12 percent under the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 13 percent below what it manages on weekdays. That pattern matters because shortfalls tend to show up when families visit and when residents need someone quickly. Its record carries 46 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse, along with a $9,110 fine. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, staffing, sit at 2 out of 5. The last inspection was May 7, 2025, so the picture is current rather than stale. For-profit individual ownership, 180 beds. If you're weighing this one, ask directly how weekends are staffed and what the abuse-related citations involved.
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.
Ark Healthcare & Rehabilitation At Branford Hills runs 190 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.75 nurse hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, with weekends running about 8% thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover is 54% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents are changing often. The inspection record is the heavier concern: 44 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 3 abuse-related, with a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating and a February 2026 inspection. One fine totaling $8,021 rounds out the record. Quality and staffing measures each land mid-range at 3 stars, but the inspection history is what pulls this home's profile down.
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.
Wilton Meadows runs 148 beds under for-profit partnership ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.88 hours per resident day, essentially level with the national average, with weekends about 8% thinner than weekdays. Turnover at 39.7% is better than the 45.8% national figure, so the workforce is comparatively stable. The trouble is the inspection record: 39 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and five abuse-related, with a $16,452 fine and a 2/5 health inspection rating. That combination, average staffing, below-average inspections, and a recent October 2024 survey, is what pulls its standing down.
Havencare At Litchfield Woods runs 160 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is the part that should worry you most: 69 deficiencies on the current record, three of them at the harm or jeopardy level, and 15 tied to abuse. Those numbers are what pull its health inspection rating down to the lowest tier, even though the home's quality measure and staffing stars sit higher. Nurse staffing averages 3.54 hours per resident day, about 8% under the national figure, and weekends run roughly 8% thinner than weekdays. Turnover, at 33.3%, is actually better than the 45.8% national average, so retention isn't the problem here. The state last inspected in July 2025, and one fine totaling $7,901 is on file.
Mary Wade Home puts more nurses on the floor than most places, 4.76 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and that shows up in its staffing and quality ratings. The catch is what inspectors have found: 51 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and eight tied to abuse, which is why its health inspection rating sits at the bottom. Weekend coverage also drops about 13% below weekdays, so care can thin out when families visit. Staff turnover runs 51.8%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, and the nonprofit has paid $20,144 in fines across two penalties. The last inspection was February 2025.
