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.
Ludlowe Center runs 144 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is the clearest strength: 4.24 nurse hours per resident day, about 10% above the national average, with turnover at 23.6%, roughly half the national rate of 45.8%. Weekend coverage does dip about 10% below weekday levels. The inspection record is where the trouble sits. Twenty-four deficiencies are on file, three at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, along with two fines totaling $47,317 and a two-star health inspection rating. The most recent inspection was September 2025, so the record is current, not stale. Strong retention, mixed oversight.
Havencare At Valerie Manor runs 151 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing. At 3.50 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 9% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 8% below its own weekday level, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 48.5% runs slightly above the 45.8% national figure, which usually means less continuity for residents. The 45 deficiencies on the current record include nine tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was January 21, 2026.
Silver Springs Care Center runs 159 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.11 hours per resident day, roughly 20% under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage drops another 13% below the home's own weekday levels, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is actually better than average at 35.8% against 45.8% nationally, which matters for continuity of care. What pulls the record down is the inspection history: 36 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, and 11 tied to abuse. Health inspection and staffing each earned 2 out of 5 stars from CMS, while quality measures scored 5. The last inspection was December 20, 2024, with $24,150 in fines on file.
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.
Gardner Heights runs lean on nursing hours, 3.13 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 7% below its own weekday pace. The inspection record carries 34 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and five tied to abuse, and the last full inspection was in August 2024. Turnover sits at 34.4%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the problem isn't retention as much as how few hours each resident gets. Corporate-owned, 130 beds, with a single fine of $7,446 on file.
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.
Water's Edge runs 150 beds in Middletown under corporate ownership, and its inspection record is the thing to look at first. Thirty-six deficiencies, four serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and five tied to abuse. Three fines add up to $99,037. Staffing sits at 3.61 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 10% below weekdays. Turnover is 39.2%, better than the 45.8% national figure, but that's the one bright number in the staffing picture. The quality measure stars look good on paper, though those come from self-reported data. The most recent inspection was March 2026. Ask about staffing on weekends and how the abuse deficiencies were resolved before you decide.
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.
Civita Care Center At Long Ridge runs 120 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing picture is mixed in a way worth understanding. Total nurse coverage sits at 3.76 hours per resident day, roughly 3% under the national average, and weekends drop about 11% below the home's own weekday levels, so the hours thin out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 24.7% against a national 45.8%, which suggests a more stable crew than most places. The inspection record is the concern: 28 deficiencies, four tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. The most recent inspection was July 2025.
Laurel Ridge is a 126-bed for-profit home in Ridgefield, and its numbers point in two directions at once. The care side looks solid: 4.06 nurse hours per resident per day, above the national average, with weekend staffing dipping roughly 10% below weekdays, and turnover at 37.9%, better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is the problem: 31 deficiencies, including six tied to abuse and one at the harm or jeopardy level. A 2-out-of-5 inspection rating against a 5-out-of-5 quality measure score is a real split. The most recent state visit was April 8, 2025, so that record is current. Ask about those abuse deficiencies specifically before you tour.
New Haven Center For Nursing & Rehabilitation runs 4.04 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 27.6% is well below the national 45.8%, people tend to stay. That stability doesn't show up in oversight, though. The home's inspection record carries 80 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and eight tied to abuse, with $61,814 in fines and a health inspection rating of 1 out of 5. Weekend staffing also drops roughly 16% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins when families visit. The last inspection was August 2025, so the record is current. Read the inspection reports yourself before deciding.
Civita Care Northbridge runs 44 deficiencies on its current record, including four at the harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse. That's the number that matters most here, and it's why the health inspection rating sits at 1 out of 5. Nurse staffing is 3.60 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 12% below the home's own weekday level, so the coverage gaps aren't just relative, they're internal. Turnover at 31.5% is genuinely better than the 45.8% national figure, and the quality measure rating is 4 out of 5, so there are pieces working. But this is a for-profit LLC with $162,221 in fines across three penalties and an inspection dated March 2026. Ask about those seven abuse-related deficiencies directly.
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.
Apple Rehab Mystic runs a 60-bed for-profit home where the people doing the daily care are stretched thin. Nurse staffing sits at 2.91 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly a quarter less, and weekends dip about 8% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage is lightest exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover runs 63.9%, well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning CNAs and nurses cycle through often enough that familiarity suffers. The inspection record shows 32 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a $16,588 fine. Quality measures look decent and the last inspection was August 2024, but the staffing numbers are the ones worth weighing.
Apple Rehab Coccomo runs 100 beds under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing: 3.36 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 13 percent under the national average, with weekend coverage dropping another 11 percent below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 53.6 percent against a national 45.8 percent, so the people caring for residents keep changing. The inspection record shows 44 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus a $14,069 fine. Federal ratings put staffing at one star and both inspections and quality measures at two. The most recent inspection was August 2025.
Leeway, Inc is a 30-bed nonprofit home in New Haven, and the numbers here pull hard in two directions. Its most recent inspection, from late December 2025, found no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level and no abuse citations, yet the home carries 23 deficiencies on its current record overall. The bigger concern is staffing: 0.29 nurse hours per resident day sits roughly 92 percent below the national average of 3.86, and every direct-care worker turned over in the past year against a national rate near 46 percent. Weekend coverage runs higher than weekdays, which is unusual, but with a workforce this thin and this transient, that gap between inspection results and daily care is what a family should weigh.
Advanced Center For Nursing & Rehabilitation runs 226 certified beds in New Haven under corporate ownership, and the inspection record is where the trouble sits: a one-star health inspection rating, 72 deficiencies on the current record, three of them serious enough to cause harm or put residents in jeopardy, and six tied to abuse. A single $72,450 fine is also on file. Staffing sits slightly under the national average at 3.78 hours per resident day, and weekends run about 19% thinner than weekdays, so coverage is lightest when families tend to visit. Turnover, at 34.4%, is actually better than the national 45.8%, one of the few numbers here working in the home's favor. The most recent inspection was January 2025.
Villa Maria runs on 3.31 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average, and weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 54.8% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing team turns over in a year. Behind that churn: 58 deficiencies on the current record, including four at harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $41,289. The last inspection was June 2025. State records show a for-profit limited liability company.
Masonicare Health Center is a 336-bed nonprofit home in Wallingford, and the staffing number is the one to sit with: 0.36 total nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That's roughly 91% below average, and it's the kind of gap that shows up in call-bell response times and how much time aides actually have with your mother. Weekend staffing runs about 29% above its own weekday level, which sounds reassuring until you realize it may just reflect how thin weekdays are. Staff turnover sits at 69.6% versus 45.8% nationally, meaning most of the people caring for residents are still learning the building. The current record shows 28 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a $13,085 fine; the last inspection was December 2024.
Meriden Health and Rehab runs 90 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers look decent on paper, 3.94 nurse hours per resident day, just above the national average. But the people delivering that care don't stay: turnover is 75%, against a national average of 45.8%, and weekend coverage drops roughly 14% below weekday levels. The inspection record is the harder problem. The current file holds 49 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $29,965. The most recent inspection was in January 2025. When direct-care staff cycle through that fast, consistency is hard to maintain, and the survey history here suggests it shows.
