Saint Vincent runs lean on nursing hours, 3.61 per resident day, about 7% under the national average, and weekends are thinner still, roughly 13% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 43.9%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, which for a small 80-bed nonprofit means fewer unfamiliar faces than many homes. The real tension is inspections: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 24 deficiencies on the current record including 3 tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. The most recent inspection was June 2025, so that record is current. Strong quality and staffing marks sit alongside inspection problems that families should ask about directly.

Coos County Nursing Hospital in West Stewartstown is county-owned and runs on 4.74 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter more staffing than the national average. That shows up in its staffing star rating, though weekends dip about 15% below weekday levels, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week. Turnover sits at 45.3%, essentially matching the national rate, so this isn't a home bleeding staff.
What stands out is the inspection record: three deficiencies, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, and a survey as recent as October 2025. State inspectors clearly found little to flag. The weaker spot is the quality measure rating, which suggests outcomes like falls or antipsychotic use aren't tracking as well as the staffing and inspection picture would imply.

Coos County Nursing Home in Berlin runs on county money, and the staffing reflects that: 4.93 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 28% above the national figure. Weekends drop about 14% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover sits at 50.9%, higher than the 45.8% national average, meaning a good share of the people caring for residents are still learning the building. Inspections tell a mixed story, 11 deficiencies on record, none at the harm level, but three tied to abuse, with the last survey in February 2026. The county's investment in direct care is real; the consistency and safety record are where the gaps show.

Country Village Center runs on about 3.19 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 17% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 9% below its own weekday numbers. That's the tradeoff you're weighing against a record that's otherwise fairly clean: ten deficiencies on file, none at the harm or jeopardy level, nothing abuse-related, and an inspection that's recent as of September 2025. Staff turnover sits at 30%, well under the national 45.8%, which suggests the people who are there tend to stay. Genesis operates it as a for-profit LLC. Ask how they cover a weekend callout.

Morrison Nursing Home runs about 3.39 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average, and weekends dip another 12% below its own weekday coverage. The bigger concern is its inspection record: 22 deficiencies, including 3 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, plus one $45,227 fine. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of serious problems. Staff turnover at 40% is better than the 45.8% national figure, and the most recent inspection came in January 2026, so the record is current. What stands out isn't a single bad number; it's the combination of thin staffing, serious deficiency findings, and federal watch-list status together.
