Nurse hours

Staff turnover
30%

0

Vantage At Lowell runs 3.59 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 9 percent below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot: 29.6 percent against a national 45.8 percent, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay. The inspection record is the harder read. Fifty-two deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, six tied to abuse, and a $13,497 fine, with the most recent look dated May 2025. This is a for-profit, individually owned home where staff retention is doing real work, but the survey history and thin weekend hours are what a family should ask about directly.

Shrewsbury Rehabilitation And Nursing At Southgate runs 99 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its numbers pull in two different directions. The home reports 4.15 total nurse staffing hours per resident day, about 7% above the national average of 3.86, but weekend staffing drops roughly 9% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 54.5% against a national average of 45.8%. On the clinical side, the CMS quality measure rating is 5 out of 5, though the staffing rating comes in at 2 out of 5. The current inspection record shows 17 deficiencies, one of them at the harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with a single fine of $7,901 and a last inspection date of March 12, 2026.

Royal Wayland Rehabilitation And Nursing Center runs 40 certified beds in Wayland, and the people who inspect it clearly find little to fault, a five-star health inspection rating, with the most recent visit in May 2025 and 19 deficiencies on the current record, just one of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and no abuse findings. But the numbers on the floor tell a different story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.48 hours per resident day, roughly 10 percent below the national average, and it thins further on weekends. Annual turnover of 54.5 percent runs well above the 45.8 percent national figure, which makes it hard to hold onto consistent caregivers even where inspections look strong.

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.

Gardner Rehabilitation and Nursing Center runs 124 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing comes in at 4.06 hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average of 3.86. That headline number looks fine until you notice weekends drop roughly 17% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 51.2% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff turns over in a year. The current record carries 32 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, though CMS rated health inspections 2 out of 5. The last inspection was recent, February 2026, so the picture is current rather than stale.

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.

Quaboag runs a bit above the national average on nurse staffing, and its last inspection in May 2025 came back clean on the things that matter most, eight deficiencies total, none at the harm level, none tied to abuse. Turnover sits at 44.6%, essentially in line with the national figure, so staffing is stable by industry standards. The one soft spot worth knowing: weekends run roughly 13% thinner than weekdays, which is common but still means less coverage on Saturdays and Sundays. Quality measures land at three stars, a middle-of-the-road signal rather than a red flag. For a 166-bed nonprofit, the inspection record is the strongest part of the story.

Linda Manor runs a nonprofit shop with 123 beds in Leeds, and the staffing numbers are the strongest part of the picture: 3.94 nurse hours per resident day, just ahead of the national average. That margin narrows on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 13% below what the home staffs during the week, worth asking about if your family visits Saturday or Sunday. Annual turnover sits at 52.4%, above the 45.8% national figure, so aides and nurses are cycling through faster than average. Inspections in September 2025 turned up 28 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm, plus one fine under $9,000.

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.

Catholic Memorial Home runs 300 beds in Fall River under church-affiliated nonprofit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.28 hours per resident day, about 11% above the national average, while annual turnover of 29.6% lands well below the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people who work here tend to stay. Weekends dip roughly 5% below weekday coverage. Those are real strengths, and they're why the staffing rating comes in at 4 out of 5. But the inspection record is where the picture darkens: 42 deficiencies logged, five of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, eight tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $94,419. State inspectors last visited in April 2025 for a reason.

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.

Beaumont Rehab & Skilled Nursing Ctr in Natick runs 53 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.71 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 4% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 8% below weekday coverage, which matters if your family visits on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover is the bright spot: 32.5% against a national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses you meet are more likely to still be there next year. The trade-offs show elsewhere. Inspectors found 12 deficiencies, 2 serious enough to put residents at risk of harm, and one fine of $10,517. Quality measures score low despite a January 2025 inspection.

The Gardens At Cedarwood runs 82 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.74 hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 8% thinner than weekdays. That modest shortfall shows up in the staffing star rating, which lands at 2 out of 5, and in a health inspection rating that's also 2 out of 5. The current record carries 42 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level but two tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $7,596. What lifts the picture is a 4 out of 5 on quality measures, and a state inspection as recent as June 2025 means the record is current, not stale.

Life Care Center of Auburn runs 154 certified beds under a for-profit limited liability company, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.83 hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop roughly 16% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 30.1% against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here stick around longer than at the typical home. The inspection record is the concern, 36 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus one fine of $29,738. The most recent inspection was June 2025, so that record is current.

River Terrace runs lean on nursing hours, 3.37 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 11% below its own weekday coverage. That thinness is the main thing pulling its overall picture down, even though turnover at 33.3% actually beats the national 45.8% and the inspection history is strong: a five-star health inspection rating, only two deficiencies on record, and a recent survey from March 2026. One of those two deficiencies did rise to the harm or jeopardy level, which matters more than the count suggests, and there's a single fine of $8,964. The for-profit LLC ownership is worth knowing, but the real question for a family is whether the weekday-to-weekend staffing gap shows up on the floor.

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.

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.

Parsons Hill runs on thinner nurse staffing than most homes, 3.18 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends about 10% leaner than weekdays. That gap is what drives the two-out-of-five staffing rating, and it matters most on Saturdays and Sundays when families tend to visit. The inspection record is mixed: 45 deficiencies on file, two tied to abuse, none rising to actual harm or jeopardy, and the most recent state visit was in March 2025. Ownership is for-profit, through a limited liability company. One genuine bright spot is turnover at 30%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests a steadier crew than many competitors.
