Alliance Health At Rosewood runs 3.36 nurse hours per resident day, about 13% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 12% below its own weekday levels, so the leanest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 40.7%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure. On the record: 25 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related citation, plus a single fine of $8,824. Its last inspection was January 23, 2026, so the picture is current. Nonprofit ownership under a corporation, 135 beds. The quality measure score is the strongest of its three ratings; staffing and inspections are middling.

Cedar View runs a 106-bed for-profit operation in Methuen, and the numbers tell a mixed story. The health inspection record is genuinely clean, nine deficiencies on file, none of them causing harm or involving abuse, and a survey as recent as January 2026. Quality measures also hold up well. Where it slips is staffing: 3.66 nurse hours per resident day sits about 5% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 19% below the home's own weekday coverage, which is when families often notice less help on the floor. Turnover at 30.1% actually beats the 45.8% national figure, so the crew that's there tends to stay.

Nevins runs on a nonprofit model in Methuen with 153 certified beds, and its staffing is a mixed picture. Nurses provide 3.62 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, so care thins out right when families tend to visit. Retention is a genuine strength, though: 31.1% turnover beats the national 45.8% by a wide margin. The harder reading comes from inspections. Thirty-one deficiencies sit on the current record, including two at the harm level and one tied to abuse, with a $9,318 fine and a January 2026 inspection date. Steady staff, rough survey history.

Care One At Essex Park runs 202 beds in Beverly under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is the strongest part of the picture, a four-star health inspection rating with the most recent survey completed in April 2025. The problem sits underneath that: 19 deficiencies on record, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, plus one abuse-related finding and a $35,968 fine. Nurse staffing averages 3.61 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national figure, and weekends run roughly 8% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is genuinely low at 28.7% against a national 45.8%, which matters for consistency of care. The quality measure rating holds at four stars, but thin weekend coverage and those harm-level citations are what pull the overall picture down.

Chestnut Woods runs 88 beds in Saugus under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.45 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 11 percent under the national average, with weekends running about 13 percent thinner than weekdays. That staffing shortfall is the main reason its staffing star rating lands at 2 out of 5, even though turnover at 40.3 percent actually beats the national 45.8 percent. The clinical picture looks stronger: a 5/5 quality measure rating and a clean record on harm and abuse, with zero deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level. But 33 total deficiencies is a lot of paperwork to carry, and the most recent inspection was September 2025.

Prescott House runs 126 beds in North Andover under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.59 nurse hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 10% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot: 28.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses here tend to stick around. But the inspection record is the weight on this home: 38 deficiencies, including one at harm level and one abuse-related, with a $15,935 fine and a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating. The most recent inspection was January 21, 2026.

Baker-Katz runs about 7% leaner on nursing hours than the national average, and weekends dip roughly 5% below its own weekday staffing, modest gaps, but worth asking about if your family member needs help at predictable times. The inspection record is the strongest part of the picture: 17 deficiencies on file, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a fresh survey in May 2025. Turnover sits at 42.6%, slightly better than the national 45.8%, which suggests the aide who answers your mother's call light may have been there a while. It's a for-profit LLC with 77 beds, so ask who owns it and how long the director of nursing has stayed.

Pilgrim Rehabilitation runs 4.14 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 37% sits below the 45.8% national figure, both signs of a stable floor. Weekend staffing drops about 11% from weekday levels, so ask how coverage holds up on Saturdays and Sundays. The current record shows 7 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in January 2026. The weaker spot is the 2/5 quality measure rating, which reflects how residents' clinical outcomes track against expected benchmarks rather than how the place is run day to day. Corporate for-profit ownership, 152 beds.

Andover Manor Rehab And Nursing runs 174 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits slightly under the national average, 3.80 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86, with weekends dropping about 12% below its own weekday level. Turnover is 47%, just above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is where the real weight sits: 51 deficiencies, three of them abuse-related, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was recent, in January 2026. Quality measures score well, but a two-star health inspection rating and that abuse-related count are the numbers a family should ask about directly before deciding.

Masconomet Rehabilitation runs 3.68 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average, and weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage comes when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 54.8% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year, and CMS rates staffing 2 out of 5. The 13 deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was March 2026, so the record is current and free of serious findings. Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company.

Andover Forest runs 142 beds in North Andover under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.59 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop roughly 14% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 44 deficiencies, five of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus three fines totaling $44,265. On the positive side, turnover at 38.9% beats the 45.8% national figure, and the quality measure rating is strong. But a 2/5 inspection score and staffing below average carry real weight.

Port Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center runs 123 certified beds in Newburyport under corporate, for-profit ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 3.66 hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average, and it thins out further on weekends, when coverage drops about 13% below the home's own weekday level. Annual turnover is 55.9%, well above the 45.8% national figure, that much churn usually means families meet a lot of new faces. The inspection record shows 22 deficiencies, two of them abuse-related, though none rose to harm or jeopardy. A recent August 2025 inspection is a point in its favor. Strong quality-measure scores don't cancel out thin staffing.

The Mansion At Brigham carries 66 deficiencies on its current record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse. That's the kind of inspection history that explains a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, and it comes with a single CMS fine of $152,988. Staffing sits at 3.52 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 7% thinner than the home's own weekdays. Quality measures also score 1 out of 5. This is a for-profit limited liability company with 64 certified beds, last inspected September 17, 2025. If you're considering it, ask directly about the abuse-related deficiency and what changed since.

Blueberry Hill runs 132 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.44 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11 percent under the national average, with weekends running about 7 percent thinner than weekdays. What stands out most is the inspection record: 70 deficiencies, nine of them serious enough to put residents at risk of harm and six tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $231,459. The one genuinely bright spot is turnover at 24.7 percent, well below the national 45.8 percent, which suggests a staff that largely stays put. But steady staff and thin hours can't offset that inspection history, the most recent look came in December 2025.

Twin Oaks Center runs on thin staffing, 3.02 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekends dip further. That shortfall shows up in its federal ratings: one star each for health inspections and staffing, two for quality measures. The inspection record behind that single star includes 58 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to put residents at risk of harm, and three tied to abuse. The one fine on file is modest at $2,186, but the volume and severity of cited problems matter more. Turnover sits near the national average at 44.3 percent, so that's not the problem here. The last inspection was in June 2025.

Aspen Hill runs 146 certified beds in Haverhill under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are where I'd start. At 3.64 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 6% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 16% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 46%, essentially tracking the national rate, so continuity isn't unusually bad, but it isn't a strength either. The inspection record is the heavier concern: 51 deficiencies on the current record, including 5 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 abuse-related, plus three fines totaling $134,274. The most recent inspection was January 8, 2026.

Royal Wood Mill Center runs 94 certified beds in Lawrence under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.76 hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 14% below its own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 50% against a national 45.8%. The current inspection record carries 26 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse. CMS gives it 3 stars for health inspections, 2 for quality measures, and 2 for staffing, with the most recent inspection dated March 25, 2026. Those aren't disqualifying numbers on their own, but the abuse-related citations and harm-level findings are the parts worth asking the administrator about directly before you decide.

Oxford Rehabilitation & Health Care Center runs 120 beds in Haverhill under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.13 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop another 11% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the heavier concern: 41 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse, and $265,351 in fines across two penalties. Staff turnover at 36% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests the problem isn't retention so much as how many hands are scheduled. A February 2026 inspection is recent, so the record reflects current conditions.

Haverhill Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center runs 128 certified beds under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers tell the clearest story. At 3.53 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 9% under the national average of 3.86, weekend coverage drops roughly 11% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 56.5% against a national 45.8%. Inspectors have logged 43 deficiencies on the current record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $29,749. The last inspection was March 19, 2026, and CMS gives the home a single star for staffing.

Adviniacare Newburyport runs 111 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice. At 3.23 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 16% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday levels. Turnover lands at 44.3%, close to the national 45.8%, so retention isn't the outlier here, thin daily coverage is. The inspection record carries 72 deficiencies, eight at harm or jeopardy level and four abuse-related, with five fines totaling $322,104. The last inspection was September 2025, so the record is current, not stale. A 1/5 staffing star and 2/5 quality measures tell you where the pressure shows up.
