Beaumont Rehab & Skilled Nursing Ctr - Northboro runs 96 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed but mostly steady story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.74 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 11% lighter than weekdays, a gap worth asking about if your family member needs consistent weekend coverage. Turnover is the brighter spot: 34.6% against a national 45.8%, meaning caregivers here tend to stay longer than at the typical home. The inspection record shows 16 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. A June 2025 inspection means the record is recent.

Bethany Skilled Nursing Facility runs on 4.90 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 27% above the national figure, and weekends dip only about 7% below its own weekday staffing, a modest drop for a 169-bed home. Inspectors visited recently, in June 2025, and the home holds a 5-star health inspection rating, though the current record still shows four deficiencies, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus one fine of $9,318. Staff turnover sits at 45.2%, essentially the national average of 45.8%, which means this nonprofit retains caregivers about as well as everyone else. Strong staffing and a clean recent inspection carry the weight here; the harm-level citations are what hold it back.

Overlook Masonic Health Center runs on 4.40 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average, which is the kind of margin that shows up in everyday care. Weekend staffing dips about 7% below its own weekday level, though, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week. Staff turnover sits at 40.1%, better than the 45.8% national figure but still meaning two in five caregivers left last year. The inspection record shows 14 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, with one abuse-related finding, worth asking about directly. State inspectors last visited in May 2025.

Greenwood Nursing & Rehabilitation Center is a small for-profit home in Wakefield, 36 beds, run by a limited liability company. Staffing sits a little above the national average at 3.99 nurse hours per resident day, and weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday coverage, so ask how that gap gets covered. Turnover is the standout number: 26.5% against a national average near 46%, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents' routines. The inspection record is current, dated August 2025, with 13 deficiencies but nothing at the harm level and nothing abuse-related. Quality measures score well, and four out of five on inspections and staffing backs that up.

New England Homes For The Deaf runs 81 certified beds in Danvers under nonprofit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.92 hours per resident day, roughly 28% above the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday level, so that strong average isn't perfectly even across the week. Staff turnover comes in at 42.5%, a touch better than the national 45.8%. The tradeoff shows up in its record: 22 deficiencies, including two tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy, and just one fine of $3,174. Its last inspection was March 2025, so the picture is current.

Lakeview House runs on 4.19 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, and its staff retention is unusually strong for the industry, 20.8% turnover against a national average near 46%. The tradeoff shows up on weekends, when staffing drops about 19% below the home's own weekday levels. Inspectors logged 12 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related; the most recent inspection was July 30, 2025, so the record is current. A 4/5 inspection rating and 4/5 quality measures round out a picture of a for-profit corporate home that is well-staffed on paper and mostly clean in practice, with the abuse citation and weekend dip worth asking about directly.

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.

Reservoir Center runs 144 beds in Marlborough under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.95 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, though weekends dip roughly 10% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover is where it separates itself: 33.6% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning fewer unfamiliar faces than at the typical home. Twenty-eight deficiencies appear on the current record, but none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with a single fine of $3,145 and an inspection dated January 2026. CMS gives it 4 stars each for staffing and quality measures, 3 for health inspections.

Renaissance Manor On Cabot runs a little leaner than the typical American nursing home, 3.76 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 15% below what the home staffs on weekdays. So if you're visiting on a Saturday, expect fewer hands on deck than midweek. What stands out instead is stability: turnover here is 34.5%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters because familiar aides tend to notice changes in a resident sooner. The inspection record is recent, clean at the harm level, and free of abuse findings, with 22 total deficiencies of the lower-level paperwork and process variety. A for-profit LLC with 61 beds and strong quality measure scores.

St Patrick's Manor runs 333 beds in Framingham under corporate ownership, and its staffing is genuinely a bright spot: 4.09 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% above the national average, with turnover at 30.1% against a national 45.8%. Weekends thin out roughly 10% below weekday coverage, which is worth asking about if your family visits then. The concern sits in inspections. Twenty-three deficiencies are on the current record, four serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with $33,157 in fines across three penalties. The most recent inspection was May 2026. Strong daily care hours and relatively stable staff, weighed against a troubling inspection history.

Countryside Health Care Of Milford is city-owned, and its 4.40 nurse hours per resident day sit about 14% above the national average. Turnover runs 31.4%, well under the 45.8% norm, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. Weekend staffing dips only about 5% below weekday levels, a smaller drop than many homes show. The inspection record isn't spotless: 16 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, though the most recent inspection came in February 2026 and the health inspection rating holds at 4 of 5. Quality measures land at 3 of 5, the softer spot in the data.

Life Care Center of the North Shore runs 123 certified beds in Lynn under corporate, for-profit ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 3.75 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and weekends run roughly 14 percent thinner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family tends to visit Saturday or Sunday. What stands out is retention: turnover of 19.8 percent is well below the national 45.8 percent, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stay. The current record shows 18 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was March 19, 2026.

Alliance Health At Braintree runs on more nursing hours than most homes in the country, about 4.25 per resident day against a national average near 3.86, and it holds onto its staff better than average too, with turnover at 33.7% versus roughly 46% nationally. Weekend coverage dips about 13% below weekday levels, which is common but worth knowing if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. The inspection record is clean where it matters: four deficiencies on file, none causing harm, none tied to abuse, and the most recent visit was in July 2025. As a nonprofit, it answers to a board rather than shareholders.

Weekend coverage dips about 6% below its own weekday level, which is worth knowing if family visits cluster on Saturdays and Sundays. Annual turnover sits at 54.5%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, so even with strong daily hours, some churn is real. The inspection record is clean where it matters most, five deficiencies on file, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and the last survey was July 25, 2025.

Liberty Commons runs on 4.68 nurse hours per resident day, about 21% above the national average, and that staffing level is the main reason it lands where it does. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops roughly 17% below its own weekday pace. Turnover sits at 40.7%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether care stays consistent. Inspections are the weak spot: a 2/5 health inspection rating, 16 deficiencies on record, one tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. The most recent inspection was January 9, 2026, so the picture is current. For-profit corporate ownership, 132 beds.

The Meadows runs 5.42 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 40% more than the national average of 3.86, and that holds up on weekends, which dip only about 8% from weekday coverage. That's the rare version of weekend staffing that doesn't fall off a cliff. The current inspection record is clean: zero deficiencies, including nothing at the harm level and nothing abuse-related, with the most recent survey dated August 2025. As a nonprofit corporation with 60 beds, it's small enough that administrators likely know the residents by name. The one soft spot in the federal ratings is quality measures at 4 out of 5, but staffing and inspections both sit at the top of that scale.

Jeffrey & Susan Brudnick Center for Living runs on real staffing depth: 4.58 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping only about 6% below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 27.2% against a national average of 45.8%, which matters more than any single inspection score because consistent caregivers notice changes in residents sooner. The current record shows 19 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, and a single fine of $10,194. The last inspection was April 2026, so the picture is recent rather than stale. For a 180-bed nonprofit, the numbers describe a home that's well staffed and mostly clean on paper, with one incident worth asking about directly.

Madonna Manor is run by a church-affiliated nonprofit, and its staffing numbers stand out for the right reason: 4.03 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and turnover of 14.7% against a national rate near 46%. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your visits fall on Saturdays or Sundays. The inspection record is the counterweight, 29 deficiencies on file, five of them at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with two fines totaling $119,373. Its last inspection was September 2025, so the picture is current. Stable caregivers, meaningful citations.

Cambridge Rehabilitation & Nursing Center runs 83 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers here are mostly steady rather than standout. Nurse staffing sits at 3.54 hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 6% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot: 33.8% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses you meet are more likely to still be there next year. Inspections in June 2025 turned up 22 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two were abuse-related.
