All 3 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Plymouth,
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.
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.
Plymouth Rehabilitation runs 186 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.12 hours per resident day, roughly 19% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 14% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays, so the weakest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover is the one number that beats the norm: 30.5% against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay. The inspection record is the harder read, 47 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse, and a $141,373 fine, with the most recent inspection in February 2026. All three CMS star ratings land at 2 out of 5.
Plymouth Harborside is a 101-bed for-profit home that CMS has placed in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the homes with the most persistent problems. The numbers behind that: 58 deficiencies on the current record, 9 of them at the harm or jeopardy level, plus 2 abuse-related citations and six fines totaling $359,529. Staffing sits at 3.56 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 12% thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover is 52.1%. Both its health inspection and quality measure ratings come in at 1 out of 5 stars.
