Nursing homes across Oxford County, Maine, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
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.
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.
Rumford Community Home runs a 32-bed nonprofit operation where the staffing is the strongest part of the story, 4.05 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average, with turnover at 36.1% compared to 45.8% nationally. Weekends dip about 5% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family member needs more attention on Saturdays and Sundays.
The weaker side is inspections: a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 28 deficiencies on record including one at the harm level and one abuse-related. The most recent inspection was February 2025, so that record is current. Good staffing and stable retention don't erase a tough survey history, ask to see how those specific deficiencies were corrected.
Pinnacle Health & Rehab in Canton runs a corporation-owned, 47-bed home where the nurses' hours look good on paper, 4.14 per resident day, about 7% above the national average, and that's the strongest part of the picture. Weekends thin out roughly 12% below weekday coverage, though, and turnover sits at 56.7% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the staff left within the year. The current record carries 31 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, with the last inspection in November 2025. Staffing earns 4 stars, but inspections and quality measures each earn 2, which is where the C comes from.
Market Square Health Care Center runs leaner on weekends than weekdays, about 15% fewer staff hours, even though its overall nurse staffing of 4.60 hours per resident day sits roughly 19% above the national average. That weekday-weekend gap matters, since care doesn't pause on Saturdays. The 39 deficiencies on file include two tied to abuse, though none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy, and the last inspection was in March 2025. Staff turnover at 49.4% edges past the national 45.8%, which for a 76-bed for-profit home owned by an individual means retraining costs and unfamiliar faces. Strong quality and staffing marks sit alongside a two-star inspection record.
