Every Medicare- and Medicaid-certified nursing home in the country, graded A–F on its inspection record,
nurse staffing, staff turnover and enforcement history. No home pays to be listed and no grade is for sale.
See how we grade.
Caleb Hitchcock Health Center sits on strong staffing numbers: 5.91 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national average, and weekend coverage barely dips from weekday levels. Turnover runs about half the national rate, which matters for consistency of care. The problem is the inspection record. Twenty-one deficiencies, three serious enough to put residents in harm's way, three tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $55,350, all from a state survey dated November 2025, so it's recent. A nonprofit operator with a stable workforce still hasn't translated that into safe conditions on the ground. Families should ask directly what changed since that last survey.
Wilton Meadows runs 148 beds under for-profit partnership ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.88 hours per resident day, essentially level with the national average, with weekends about 8% thinner than weekdays. Turnover at 39.7% is better than the 45.8% national figure, so the workforce is comparatively stable. The trouble is the inspection record: 39 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and five abuse-related, with a $16,452 fine and a 2/5 health inspection rating. That combination, average staffing, below-average inspections, and a recent October 2024 survey, is what pulls its standing down.
Havencare At Litchfield Woods runs 160 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is the part that should worry you most: 69 deficiencies on the current record, three of them at the harm or jeopardy level, and 15 tied to abuse. Those numbers are what pull its health inspection rating down to the lowest tier, even though the home's quality measure and staffing stars sit higher. Nurse staffing averages 3.54 hours per resident day, about 8% under the national figure, and weekends run roughly 8% thinner than weekdays. Turnover, at 33.3%, is actually better than the 45.8% national average, so retention isn't the problem here. The state last inspected in July 2025, and one fine totaling $7,901 is on file.
Mary Wade Home puts more nurses on the floor than most places, 4.76 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and that shows up in its staffing and quality ratings. The catch is what inspectors have found: 51 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and eight tied to abuse, which is why its health inspection rating sits at the bottom. Weekend coverage also drops about 13% below weekdays, so care can thin out when families visit. Staff turnover runs 51.8%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, and the nonprofit has paid $20,144 in fines across two penalties. The last inspection was February 2025.
Ludlowe Center runs 144 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is the clearest strength: 4.24 nurse hours per resident day, about 10% above the national average, with turnover at 23.6%, roughly half the national rate of 45.8%. Weekend coverage does dip about 10% below weekday levels. The inspection record is where the trouble sits. Twenty-four deficiencies are on file, three at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, along with two fines totaling $47,317 and a two-star health inspection rating. The most recent inspection was September 2025, so the record is current, not stale. Strong retention, mixed oversight.
Havencare At Valerie Manor runs 151 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing. At 3.50 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 9% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 8% below its own weekday level, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 48.5% runs slightly above the 45.8% national figure, which usually means less continuity for residents. The 45 deficiencies on the current record include nine tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was January 21, 2026.
Silver Springs Care Center runs 159 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.11 hours per resident day, roughly 20% under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage drops another 13% below the home's own weekday levels, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is actually better than average at 35.8% against 45.8% nationally, which matters for continuity of care. What pulls the record down is the inspection history: 36 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, and 11 tied to abuse. Health inspection and staffing each earned 2 out of 5 stars from CMS, while quality measures scored 5. The last inspection was December 20, 2024, with $24,150 in fines on file.
Civita Care Sheriden Woods runs 146 beds in Bristol under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.12 hours per resident day, roughly 19% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends are thinner still, about 8% below the home's own weekday coverage. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 58 deficiencies, four of them at harm or jeopardy level and ten tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $28,030. Turnover at 43.3% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, but that's the one number here that isn't working against it. The last inspection was March 2026.
Gardner Heights runs lean on nursing hours, 3.13 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 7% below its own weekday pace. The inspection record carries 34 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and five tied to abuse, and the last full inspection was in August 2024. Turnover sits at 34.4%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the problem isn't retention as much as how few hours each resident gets. Corporate-owned, 130 beds, with a single fine of $7,446 on file.
Monsignor Bojnowski Manor runs 60 beds as a nonprofit, and its quality measure scores are strong, a 5 out of 5 there. The problem is the people delivering that care. Nurse staffing sits at 3.30 hours per resident per day, well under the 3.86 national average, and weekends run thinner than weekdays. Turnover hits 70% against a 45.8% national rate, meaning most of the aides and nurses you'd meet this year won't be there next year. Add 37 deficiencies on the current record, including one at harm level and six tied to abuse, plus five fines totaling about $22,000 from a February 2025 inspection. Good outcome scores are harder to trust when the workforce behind them keeps changing.
Water's Edge runs 150 beds in Middletown under corporate ownership, and its inspection record is the thing to look at first. Thirty-six deficiencies, four serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and five tied to abuse. Three fines add up to $99,037. Staffing sits at 3.61 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 10% below weekdays. Turnover is 39.2%, better than the 45.8% national figure, but that's the one bright number in the staffing picture. The quality measure stars look good on paper, though those come from self-reported data. The most recent inspection was March 2026. Ask about staffing on weekends and how the abuse deficiencies were resolved before you decide.
Marlborough Health & Rehabilitation Center runs 120 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble starts: 3.44 nurse hours per resident day sits about 11% below the national average, and weekends drop another 11% below its own weekday level. Turnover at 36.8% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the problem isn't retention so much as how few hours each resident gets. The inspection record is heavier: 40 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 11 abuse-related, with two fines totaling $206,228. The last inspection was August 2023, so that record has had time to age without being cleared.
Civita Care Center At Long Ridge runs 120 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing picture is mixed in a way worth understanding. Total nurse coverage sits at 3.76 hours per resident day, roughly 3% under the national average, and weekends drop about 11% below the home's own weekday levels, so the hours thin out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 24.7% against a national 45.8%, which suggests a more stable crew than most places. The inspection record is the concern: 28 deficiencies, four tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. The most recent inspection was July 2025.
Laurel Ridge is a 126-bed for-profit home in Ridgefield, and its numbers point in two directions at once. The care side looks solid: 4.06 nurse hours per resident per day, above the national average, with weekend staffing dipping roughly 10% below weekdays, and turnover at 37.9%, better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is the problem: 31 deficiencies, including six tied to abuse and one at the harm or jeopardy level. A 2-out-of-5 inspection rating against a 5-out-of-5 quality measure score is a real split. The most recent state visit was April 8, 2025, so that record is current. Ask about those abuse deficiencies specifically before you tour.
New Haven Center For Nursing & Rehabilitation runs 4.04 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 27.6% is well below the national 45.8%, people tend to stay. That stability doesn't show up in oversight, though. The home's inspection record carries 80 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and eight tied to abuse, with $61,814 in fines and a health inspection rating of 1 out of 5. Weekend staffing also drops roughly 16% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins when families visit. The last inspection was August 2025, so the record is current. Read the inspection reports yourself before deciding.
Civita Care Northbridge runs 44 deficiencies on its current record, including four at the harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse. That's the number that matters most here, and it's why the health inspection rating sits at 1 out of 5. Nurse staffing is 3.60 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 12% below the home's own weekday level, so the coverage gaps aren't just relative, they're internal. Turnover at 31.5% is genuinely better than the 45.8% national figure, and the quality measure rating is 4 out of 5, so there are pieces working. But this is a for-profit LLC with $162,221 in fines across three penalties and an inspection dated March 2026. Ask about those seven abuse-related deficiencies directly.
Summit at Plantsville runs 150 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.58 hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover runs 38.7%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the same faces are more likely to stick around. What pulls the record down is the inspection side: 43 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating and a $3,652 fine.
Excelcare At Wilmington runs 150 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits just under the national average at 3.83 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends dip roughly 9% below weekday coverage, though its 34.9% turnover is better than the 45.8% national figure. The real concern is the inspection record: 22 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, plus a $38,290 fine. A March 2025 inspection is recent, and the two-star health inspection rating reflects those findings. Quality measures score well, but a family should ask directly how those abuse-related citations were resolved.
Regal Heights runs 172 certified beds under corporate ownership in Hockessin, and the staffing numbers are the strongest thing it has going. Nurse hours per resident day sit essentially at the national average, and weekend coverage dips only about 5% below weekdays, which is a narrower gap than many homes manage. Turnover is 41.7%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. The trouble is everything else: a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 65 deficiencies on the current record including 4 at harm or jeopardy level and 9 tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $46,999. Staffing can hold a building together, but it doesn't erase an inspection history like that.
Regency Healthcare & Rehab Center is a for-profit LLC home in Wilmington with 100 beds, and its recent inspection history is the first thing to notice: 19 deficiencies on record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse. Two fines totaling $77,867 have been levied. Staffing sits at 3.74 nurse hours per resident day, about 3% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 8% leaner than weekdays. Annual turnover of 63.8% is well above the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers know residents' routines. The most recent inspection was July 2025, so the picture is current.
