All 5 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Bedford,
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.
Stonebridge Health Campus sits a little above the national average on nurse staffing, about 3.94 hours per resident day, though weekend coverage dips roughly 12% below what the building runs on weekdays, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. Turnover is 34.4%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters more than it sounds: fewer unfamiliar faces at the bedside. The seven deficiencies on record include none at the harm level and none tied to abuse, and the most recent inspection was September 2025, so the picture is current. Corporate for-profit ownership, 68 beds, and inspection and quality ratings that both land at the top of CMS's scale.
White River Lodge is county-owned, and that shows in the numbers that matter most: nurse staffing sits at 4.09 hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average, and turnover at 42.9% is a little better than the typical American nursing home. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below weekday levels, which is common but worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays. The record shows 5 deficiencies, none causing harm or jeopardy, though 1 is abuse-related, ask about that directly. Its last inspection was in March 2026, so the picture is current. Where it slips is quality measures, which lag well behind its strong inspection and staffing marks.
Westview is a county-owned home of 95 beds in Bedford, and its inspection record is the standout: one deficiency on the books, nothing at the harm or jeopardy level, and a survey completed in December 2025. That's a clean paper trail most homes can't match. Staffing is where it gets thinner, 3.62 nurse hours per resident day sits about 6% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 11% below the home's own weekday coverage, so families should ask who's actually on the floor on a Sunday. Turnover at 33.3% is meaningfully better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests a steadier crew than average.
Core Of Bedford runs 37 beds as a nonprofit, and its last health inspection in March 2026 turned up 13 deficiencies, one of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level. Nurse staffing sits at 2.75 hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, roughly 29% below, and weekends drop about 8% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Annual turnover is 54.8% compared with 45.8% nationally, which means more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The inspection and quality measure ratings land mid-range, but the staffing rating sits at the bottom. For a family weighing a move here, that gap between adequate care ratings and thin, churning coverage is the thing to ask about directly.
Majestic Care Of Bedford runs 142 beds under corporate ownership, and its nursing hours come in around 3.26 per resident day, roughly 16% under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage drops about 13% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so families should ask who's actually on the floor Saturday and Sunday. The inspection history shows 22 deficiencies, two of them abuse-related, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the last survey was in May 2026. Turnover sits at 37.2%, better than the 45.8% national figure. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspections don't.
