Nursing homes across Franklin County, Vermont, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Franklin County Rehab Center runs on a for-profit individual owner, and the staffing is genuinely the story here: 5.45 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 41% above the national average of 3.86, which is a real cushion compared to most homes. That said, weekends drop about 18% below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 40.2%, better than the 45.8% national figure, but still two in five staff leaving in a year, so continuity is a fair question. The inspection record shows 14 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated April 2026, so the record is current rather than stale.
Saint Albans Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center runs 115 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits just under the national mark, 3.74 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86, with weekends about 11% leaner than weekdays. Turnover is 48.2%, a bit above the 45.8% national figure, which matters because familiar caregivers tend to notice changes sooner. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 14 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, one tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $148,714. That recent February 2026 inspection is why the health inspection rating sits at 2 out of 5, even though staffing scored 4. Ask about the abuse deficiency and what changed since.
The Villa Rehab runs high on nurse hours, 5.08 per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, but that staffing thins out on weekends by about 18%, and 61% of staff turned over in the last year against a national rate near 46%. The inspection record is where this home gets into trouble: 24 deficiencies, including four tied to abuse and one serious enough to put residents in immediate harm, plus $37,040 in fines across two penalties. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the homes with the most persistent problems, and its last inspection was July 30, 2025. For-profit, limited liability ownership, 30 beds.
