Maine Veterans Home in Augusta runs on a state Veterans' Affairs model, and the staffing numbers show it: 6.62 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 72% above the national average. That's a big cushion, and it shows up in the five-star staffing rating. Turnover sits at 32.5%, well below the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. Twelve deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, worth asking about directly. The most recent inspection was November 2025, so the picture is current. Nonprofit ownership, 108 beds, and quality and inspection ratings both at four stars. The weak spot, if there is one, is weekends, when staffing drops about 10% below its own weekday level.

Piper Shores runs about 5.14 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, and its quality and staffing marks both sit at the top of CMS's scale. Weekends dip about 9% below weekday coverage, which is worth asking about if your family visits then. Turnover lands at 40.7%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The 21 deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm level and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in December 2025, so the picture is current. As a nonprofit with 40 beds, it's small enough that you can press staff on specifics.

Westgate Center runs on 4.17 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average of 3.86, and its staff turnover sits at 22.9% against a national figure near 46%. That combination matters more than any single number: enough hands on deck, and a workforce stable enough to know the residents. Weekend staffing dips about 4% below its own weekday level, a small slide rather than a cliff. The 18 deficiencies on record include none at the harm or jeopardy level and none tied to abuse, and the most recent inspection closed out in May 2026. For-profit operation under a limited liability company, 65 certified beds.

Norway Center runs about 4.31 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 12% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 34.1% sits well below the 45.8% norm, a sign people tend to stay. Weekend coverage dips about 11% from weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays or Sundays. The home carries 10 deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with its most recent inspection in April 2025. For-profit corporate ownership, 42 beds, and quality measures that score at the top of CMS's range.

Katahdin Health Care runs 4.04 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, and weekend staffing dips about 10% below its own weekday levels, worth asking about, since weekends are when families often visit. Staff turnover sits at 31% against a national average near 46%, which matters for whether you see the same faces month to month. The 20 deficiencies on record include none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was March 2026. For a 36-bed for-profit home in Millinocket, those numbers describe steady, well-supervised care rather than a place coasting on reputation.

Gorham House runs 69 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the real story here, 4.84 nurse hours per resident day puts it roughly a quarter above the national average of 3.86. That's a genuine cushion, though weekend coverage dips about 9% below weekdays, and turnover sits at 52.6% against a national 45.8%, meaning a lot of those hours come from people still learning the building. The inspection record is mixed: 24 deficiencies on file, none at harm level but two tied to abuse, with the most recent survey dated February 2026. Quality and staffing measures both rate well; the health inspection side is where the caution lives.

Sanfield Rehab & Living Center is a small for-profit home in Hartland, 23 beds, and its staffing is the standout. At 4.57 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 18% above the national average, and weekend coverage dips only modestly below weekdays. Turnover sits at 34.3%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests a steadier crew than many places its size. The tradeoff shows in its record: 16 deficiencies, including one abuse-related citation, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. State inspectors visited most recently in July 2025 and rated health inspections 4 out of 5. For a family weighing a small rural home, the staffing numbers are the real signal here.

Springbrook Center runs 123 certified beds in Westbrook under corporate for-profit ownership, and its record splits sharply depending on where you look. Nurse staffing sits at 3.79 hours per resident day, slightly under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops about 8% below the home's own weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 34.5%, noticeably better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around longer than at the typical home. The inspection side is the real concern: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 30 deficiencies on the current record, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 1 abuse-related, plus $17,388 in fines across two penalties. The last inspection was July 19, 2024. Strong quality measure scores and stable staffing don't erase that history.

Horizons Living And Rehab Center runs on unusually deep staffing for a 65-bed for-profit home, 4.71 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth more than the national average, and its workers tend to stay, with turnover near 24% against a national rate closer to 46%. Weekends thin out by about 17% compared to weekdays, so ask how coverage holds up on a Saturday. The inspection record shows 20 deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, and the most recent survey was in August 2024. Quality measures score low even as staffing scores high, a split worth asking the administrator to explain.

Stillwater Health Care runs on good staffing numbers for its size, 4.11 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and its staff turnover of 31.9% is notably lower than the 45.8% typical elsewhere, which usually means steadier caregivers who know the residents. Weekends dip about 12% below weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family visits then. The harder part is the inspection record: 28 deficiencies logged, two serious enough to risk harm, three tied to abuse, plus two fines near $29,000. That mix, strong daily care, rougher oversight history, is what a family should weigh, especially with individual for-profit ownership.

Augusta Center for Health & Rehabilitation runs 72 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits modestly above the national average at 3.99 nurse hours per resident per day. That edge is real but thin, and weekends run about 8% lighter than weekdays, worth knowing if your visits tend to fall on Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover lands at 33.3%, noticeably better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests less churn in who's actually showing up to provide care. The current inspection record carries 30 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus a single fine of $10,059. No abuse-related findings appear. The most recent inspection was February 5, 2026, so the picture is reasonably current.

St. Andre runs leaner than most places on turnover, about a third of its staff leaves each year against a national rate closer to 46%, which matters more than any single inspection score. Nurse hours per resident land at 4.24 a day, roughly a tenth above the national average, though weekends dip about 10% below what the home staffs during the week. Its record shows 11 deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, and the most recent state visit came in June 2025. The one soft spot in the federal data is quality measures, where it scores near the bottom.

Maine Veterans Home in Scarborough runs a tight ship on the staffing side, 4.84 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above what's typical nationally, and its recent inspection history backs that up. State surveyors found nine deficiencies at the last visit in November 2024, but none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy, and there's nothing abuse-related on the record. Turnover sits at 36.4%, meaningfully better than the 45.8% national figure, though weekend coverage does dip about 13% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about. The one soft spot is the quality measure score, which lags at 2 out of 5 stars even as inspections and staffing both hit the top mark.

Glenridge in Augusta runs a nonprofit operation with 125 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the strongest part of the picture: 4.33 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping about 8% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 31.8%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The tradeoff shows up in the quality measures, where CMS scores it 2 out of 5. Inspections came back 4 out of 5, and the 19 deficiencies on record include none at the harm or jeopardy level and none related to abuse. The last inspection was March 26, 2026.

Eastport Memorial is a 26-bed nonprofit home where the day-to-day care numbers look better than the inspection record. Nurse staffing runs 4.06 hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average, and the 38.7% turnover rate beats the 45.8% national figure, so you're not looking at a chronically short-staffed building. Weekends dip about 7% below weekday coverage, worth asking about directly. The catch is the paperwork trail: 47 deficiencies on the current record, including two abuse-related findings, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. The last inspection was February 2026. A 2-star health inspection rating against 4-star staffing and quality scores tells you the care is there but the compliance side has been messy.

Mid Coast Senior Health Center runs a tight ship on the clinical side. Its last inspection was in August 2025, and the 12 deficiencies on record include none at the harm or jeopardy level, one is abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. Nurse staffing sits at 4.54 hours per resident day, roughly 18% above the national average, though weekends run about 11% lighter than weekdays, so coverage isn't perfectly flat. The bigger number to sit with is turnover: 57.4% against a national average of 45.8%. People are leaving faster than at a typical home. As a nonprofit with 42 beds, it's small enough that you can ask pointed questions about who's actually on the floor on a Saturday.

Cedars runs about 27% more nurse staffing than the national average, 4.89 hours per resident day, though weekends drop roughly 7% below its own weekday levels, so coverage isn't perfectly flat. The home was inspected recently, in June 2025, and the record shows 25 deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level, plus two abuse-related citations worth asking about directly. A nonprofit corporation operates its 102 beds, and its CMS ratings land at 4 out of 5 across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing. Those abuse citations and the weekend staffing dip are the two things I'd want explained before deciding.

Maine Veterans Home in South Paris runs on 5.22 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a third more staffing than the national average, and that shows up in its CMS staffing rating. Weekends dip about 14% below its own weekday coverage, so care can thin out on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is the strongest part: 10 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in December 2025. Quality measures sit in the middle at 3 out of 5, and as a nonprofit corporation it answers to a board rather than shareholders. Overall, a well-staffed home with a clean recent inspection history and average clinical marks.

Summer Commons runs a lean ship on the clinical side: 4.89 nurse hours per resident day puts it well above the national figure, and its last inspection came back clean on harm, no deficiencies at that level, nothing tied to abuse. The catch is people. More than half the staff turned over in the past year, which is higher than the national rate, and weekend coverage dips below what the building manages Monday through Friday. For-profit, LLC-owned, 64 beds in Sanford. The care numbers look steady right now. Whether the team stays long enough to keep them there is the real question to ask on a tour.

Fallbrook Commons runs on more nursing hours than most homes, 4.70 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and that staffing shows up as a five-star rating. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below weekdays, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. The 26 deficiencies on record include one abuse-related finding, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was August 2024. Turnover at 43.8% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. As a nonprofit, it has no owner profit motive built into the model. The staffing is the strength here; the inspection record is more ordinary.
