Saint Francis in Laconia runs on about 3.75 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 3% under the national average, and weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday staffing. That's the kind of gap that shows up as slower response times on a Saturday afternoon, not necessarily in a rating. What stands out more is stability: turnover sits at 40.4% against a national 45.8%, and the inspection record is clean, four deficiencies total, none at harm level, none abuse-related, with a survey completed at the end of 2025. For a 51-bed nonprofit home, low turnover and a recent, unremarkable inspection matter more than a few minutes of weekday staffing. Ask about weekend coverage anyway.

Belknap County Nursing Home runs on county money, and the staffing numbers show it: 4.96 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 29% above the national average, with a 5/5 CMS staffing rating and turnover at 31.9% against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Sundays. The current record holds four deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with an inspection dated September 2025. Where it slips is quality measures, rated 1/5, that's the number worth asking about directly.

Golden View runs a nonprofit home in Meredith with 131 beds, and its strongest feature is how many people are on the floor: 4.70 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22% above the national average. Weekend coverage slips about 10% below its weekday level, and turnover sits at 39.8%, better than the 45.8% national figure. The tradeoffs show up elsewhere. Inspectors last visited in January 2026 and left 16 deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level but one tied to abuse. Quality measures earned just 2 of 5 stars, even as staffing took the top mark.

Laconia Rehabilitation Center runs 120 beds under corporate ownership, and its numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.65 hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average, and weekends drop about 12% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 28.4% against a national 45.8% means aides and nurses here tend to stay. The inspection record is more uneven: 21 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, plus a single $7,901 fine. The most recent inspection was May 2025, so the picture is current.
