Hannah B G Shaw Home

Middleboro, MA · Plymouth County

CMS 4/5107 bedsNon-profitMedicaid
Nurse hours
5.42 /day
Staff turnover
33%
Serious cites
0

Nurse staffing here runs 5.42 hours per resident day, roughly 40% above the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip only about 3% below the home's own weekday level, a fairly small gap compared to what many homes show. Staff turnover sits at 33.3%, well below the national 45.8%, which matters for whether aides and nurses stick around long enough to know your mother's routines. The tradeoff is in inspections: 14 deficiencies on the current record, one tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was September 2025. Nonprofit ownership under a corporation, 107 certified beds.

Staff turnover

Southwood At Norwell runs a tight ship on the numbers that matter most. Staffing sits at 3.99 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and turnover is where this home really separates itself: 28.7% versus 45.8% nationally, meaning caregivers tend to stay. The ten deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in January 2026. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays or Sundays. For a for-profit partnership, the consistency here is unusual.

Linden Ponds

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
41%
Serious cites
0

Linden Ponds runs 5.15 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average of 3.86, and its 41% staff turnover sits below the national rate of 45.8%, a real edge on the two things families worry about most. Weekend staffing dips about 12% below weekdays, though, so the coverage your relative gets on a Saturday won't quite match Tuesday. The health inspection side is less comfortable: six deficiencies, two of them at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with one fine of $12,735, and the last inspection was April 2026. The five-star quality measure rating reflects good clinical outcomes, but those harm-level findings are worth asking the administrator about directly.

Life Care Center Of Plymouth

Plymouth, MA · Plymouth County

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
28%

Life Care Center of Plymouth runs on a for-profit LLC model with 150 certified beds, and the numbers hold up well. Nurse staffing sits at 4.07 hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average, and the 28.2% annual turnover is notably lower than the 45.8% national figure, though weekend coverage dips about 12% below weekday levels. The inspection record is clean where it matters: six deficiencies total, none at the harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was March 2025. Five stars on both health inspections and quality measures, four on staffing. Families looking at Plymouth County should know this home's weak spot is weekend consistency, not safety.

Queen Anne Nursing Home, Inc

Staff turnover

Queen Anne Nursing Home in Hingham runs on steady staffing: 3.99 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, though weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday levels. The number that stands out is turnover, 25.3% against a national average near 46%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay. State inspectors visited in June 2025 and logged 21 deficiencies, none at the level of harm or jeopardy and none related to abuse. Ownership is a for-profit partnership. The trade-off is ordinary and worth naming: a smaller, stable crew with weekend gaps, paired with a clean recent inspection record. Ask about weekend coverage specifically.

Life Care Center of the South Shore runs about 3.97 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, though weekends dip roughly 12% below its own weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family visits mostly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 40%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether you see the same faces month to month. The inspection record is genuinely strong: a 5/5 health inspection rating, 20 deficiencies on file but none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in March 2025. Corporate for-profit ownership, 117 beds.

Life Care Center Of West Bridgewater

West Bridgewater, MA · Plymouth County

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
34%
Serious cites
0

Life Care Center Of West Bridgewater runs a tight operation on the clinical side. The health inspection record is clean at the 5-star level, with 11 deficiencies cited and none involving harm, jeopardy, or abuse, and the last survey was recent, from November 2025, so that picture is current. Nurse staffing sits at 3.83 hours per resident day, a hair under the national average, and weekends drop about 14% below weekday coverage, which is the kind of gap families feel on Sunday afternoons. Turnover at 34% is meaningfully better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for your relative are more likely to stick around. Corporate ownership, 150 beds. The weak spot is consistency of coverage, not quality of care.

Bay Path At Duxbury Nursing & Rehabilitation Ctr

Duxbury, MA · Plymouth County

Nurse hours
3.73 /day
Staff turnover
42%
Serious cites

Bay Path At Duxbury runs a tight ship on the clinical side. The state surveyors gave it a five-star health inspection rating, and its record shows just four deficiencies, none of them at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. Inspectors were last in on July 18, 2025, so the picture is recent. Where it gives some ground is bedside time: 3.73 total nurse hours per resident day sits about 3% under the national 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover, at 42.3%, is actually a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. A for-profit LLC with solid inspections but lean hours, worth asking how weekends feel.

St Joseph Manor Health Care Inc

Brockton, MA · Plymouth County

Nurse hours
3.64 /day
Staff turnover
26%
Serious cites
0

St. Joseph Manor runs a tight ship on retention, 26% turnover against a 45.8% national average means aides and nurses tend to stay, which matters more for daily care than almost anything else on paper. The tradeoff shows up in raw hours: 3.64 nurse staffing per resident day sits about 6% under the national figure, and weekends dip roughly 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, so ask how that gap gets covered. Fifteen deficiencies on record with none at harm level and nothing abuse-related, plus a December 2025 inspection, points to a home that gets watched closely and corrected quickly rather than one coasting.

Harbor House Nursing & Rehabilitation Center

Nurse hours

Staff turnover

Harbor House runs 142 certified beds in Hingham under for-profit LLC ownership, and its numbers are decent without being remarkable. Nurse staffing sits at 3.54 hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends slip another 8% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Where it stands out is retention: 32.4% annual turnover against a national average of 45.8% suggests people stay, which matters for consistency of care. The current record shows 22 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related and worth asking about directly. Its last inspection was in November 2025, so the picture is recent.

Webster Park Rehabilitation And Healthcare Center

Rockland, MA · Plymouth County

CMS 5/5110 bedsFor-profitMedicaid
Nurse hours
5.12 /day
Staff turnover
76%
Serious cites
0

Webster Park runs on more nursing hours than most homes, 5.12 per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and its quality measure score is as high as CMS gives. The catch is who's delivering those hours. Annual turnover sits at 76.2% while the national figure is 45.8%, and weekend staffing drops roughly a fifth below weekday levels, so the coverage on a Saturday afternoon may look different from the roster average. Fourteen deficiencies sit on the current record, none involving harm or abuse, and the last inspection was April 2026. The for-profit limited liability company structure is worth noting mainly because it tells you who answers when something goes wrong.

Alliance Health At West Acres

Brockton, MA · Plymouth County

CMS 4/5138 bedsNon-profitMedicaid
Nurse hours
3.69 /day
Staff turnover

Serious cites

Alliance Health At West Acres runs on leaner nurse coverage than most homes, 3.69 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 10% below its own weekday numbers, which is worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. The stronger signals sit elsewhere: a 2025 inspection with no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level, and staff turnover at 32.4% compared with 45.8% nationally, meaning caregivers here tend to stay longer than is typical. One abuse-related deficiency does appear on the current record among 16 total. As a nonprofit with 138 beds, it's a mixed picture rather than a clear yes or no.

Royal Norwell Nursing & Rehabilitation Center Llc

Norwell, MA · Plymouth County

CMS 3/586 bedsFor-profitMedicaid
Nurse hours

Staff turnover

Serious cites
0

Royal Norwell runs 86 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.68 hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average, with weekends roughly 10% thinner than its own weekdays. That gap matters because coverage is when families aren't watching. Staff turnover is 53.8% against a 45.8% national average, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year, and the record shows 44 deficiencies, including 6 at harm or jeopardy level and 6 tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $114,868. The last inspection was recent, November 2025, and the quality measure score runs higher than the inspection and staffing scores. Ask about weekend coverage and turnover directly.

Wingate at Silver Lake runs 164 beds in Kingston under corporate for-profit ownership. Its nurse staffing sits at 3.30 hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 4% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit and when backup is hardest to reach. Turnover is the brighter spot: 38.3% against a national 45.8%, which suggests aides and nurses are sticking around longer than at the typical home. Inspections in March 2025 turned up 23 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, while the quality measure rating sits at just 2 of 5.

Southshore Health Care Center runs on 3.29 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average, and weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday coverage. The one bright spot is retention: 22.2% turnover is well below the 45.8% national figure. But the inspection record is where the trouble sits, 61 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and eight tied to abuse, along with a $26,395 fine and a one-star health inspection rating. Quality measures score well at four stars, which often reflects charting more than day-to-day care. For-profit corporate ownership, 96 beds, and the most recent inspection in August 2025. Ask hard questions about supervision and weekend coverage.

Brockton Post Acute Care runs 169 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.47 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip another 10% below its own weekday levels, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 37.5%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, and the quality measure rating is a perfect 5/5. But 33 deficiencies sit on the current record, and the staffing star is only 2/5. Nothing on that list rises to harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was April 2025, recent enough to trust.

Champion Rehabilitation and Nursing Center runs 123 beds in Brockton under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are where your attention should go first. At 3.13 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 19% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 9% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot at 32.5%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests a steadier crew than most. The 28 deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and no abuse findings. Its most recent inspection was September 2025, so the picture is current.

Nurse hours

Cardigan Nursing & Rehabilitation Center runs on thin staffing. At 3.29 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 15% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 7% below its own weekday numbers, a gap families often feel on Saturday and Sunday. The bigger red flag is turnover: 90.6% of staff leaving annually, double the national rate, which means your mother's aide this month may be gone by spring. Inspections are recent (March 2025) and the record shows 15 deficiencies, none at harm level but one abuse-related, which deserves a direct question. The 5/5 quality measure score reflects clinical outcomes, not daily caregiving. Ask about weekend coverage and how they retain aides.

The Guardian Center runs 3.29 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 10 percent below its own weekday numbers, so the thinnest coverage lands exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover at 41.1 percent is slightly better than the 45.8 percent national figure, but a 61-deficiency record with three at harm or jeopardy level and three abuse-related citations is a lot to carry, and the 1/5 quality measure rating reflects it. The last inspection was April 30, 2025, and the 2/5 inspection rating suggests those findings weren't minor paperwork issues.

Sippican runs 3.52 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops about 11% below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 56.2% against a national 45.8%, and the federal staffing rating lands at 2 out of 5, that combination is what pulls the overall picture down, even though the quality measure score is perfect at 5 out of 5. The inspection record shows 17 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus a single fine of $8,788. The most recent inspection was May 19, 2026, so the record is current. A for-profit limited liability company operates the 123-bed home.
