Every nursing home CMS records under this group, and how the portfolio performs as a whole. Consistency
across a group says more about an operator than any single building.
Apple Rehab Middletown runs 70 beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits around 3.27 hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 7 percent below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is 37.5 percent, actually better than the 45.8 percent national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The inspection record is the harder read: 54 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, with the last inspection in October 2024. Quality measures score well, but that inspection history is what a family should ask about directly.
Apple Rehab Saybrook runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes, about 3.12 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 9% below its own weekday levels. That's the kind of gap families notice as slower call-button response. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 49 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse. Staff turnover sits at 30.8%, well under the 45.8% national figure, and the last inspection came in January 2025, so the picture is fairly current. Corporate-owned and Medicare-certified for 120 beds. Low turnover helps; the deficiency count and thin staffing are what you'd want to ask about directly.
Hewitt runs about 206 certified beds and employs nurses at 3.25 hours per resident day, roughly 16% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip further, about 4% below the home's own weekday staffing, so the thinnest coverage lands when oversight is lightest. Turnover at 40.2% sits a bit better than the national 45.8%, which helps, but the inspection record is where the real picture sits: 60 deficiencies, nine tied to abuse, and one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level. A single fine of $8,018 is on file, and the most recent inspection was May 2025. For-profit, individually owned. The staffing and inspection numbers are the ones worth weighing.
Ledgecrest runs about 3.41 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average, and weekends dip another 10% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 36.7%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The inspection record shows 28 deficiencies, none at harm level but one abuse-related, with the last survey in August 2024. A 4/5 inspection rating and solid staffing stars sit alongside a 2/5 on quality measures, and that gap is worth asking about directly.
Apple Rehab Laurel Woods runs 120 beds in East Haven under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.56 hours per resident day, roughly 8 percent under the national average, with weekends dipping about 6 percent below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover is 39.8 percent, which is actually better than the 45.8 percent national figure, so retention isn't the weak spot here. What stands out is the inspection record: 46 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 11 tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $64,555. The most recent inspection was January 29, 2026, so the record is current. Quality measures score well; the health inspection side is where the problems concentrate.
Apple Rehab Shelton Lakes runs 106 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.53 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 8% below its own weekday levels. Turnover is the brighter spot at 34.4%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some consistency in who's showing up. The inspection record is where you'd want to ask questions: 50 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy. Its most recent inspection came in December 2024, so the picture is current. Quality measures scored 1 out of 5, meaning clinical outcomes lag even where staffing looks adequate on paper. Ask about weekend coverage and how those abuse deficiencies were resolved.
Apple Rehab Farmington Valley runs 160 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing score sits at 1 out of 5 stars from CMS, the weakest mark the federal system gives. That matters more than the 44.1% annual turnover rate, which actually lands slightly below the national average of 45.8%. The inspection history shows 39 deficiencies on the current record, including 5 tied to abuse, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was June 3, 2025. Health inspection and quality measure ratings both come in at 3 out of 5. The staffing shortfall is the number worth asking about directly when you tour.
Nurse staffing at Apple Rehab Rocky Hill runs about 3.06 hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday coverage. The inspection record shows 42 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $28,565; the most recent inspection was September 2024. Staff turnover is 17.8%, well under the 45.8% national average, which suggests a steadier workforce than many for-profit corporate homes, though that stability hasn't translated into strong marks on health inspections or quality measures, both rated 2 out of 5.
Apple Rehab West Haven is a 90-bed for-profit home that CMS has placed in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the homes with the most persistent inspection problems. The record backs that up: 68 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse, plus a $26,685 fine. Staffing sits about 10% under the national average at 3.47 nurse hours per resident day, and weekends run roughly 11% thinner than weekdays. The one bright spot is turnover at 24.7%, well below the 45.8% national figure, so the people who are there tend to stay. But a one-star health inspection rating and that deficiency history are the things to weigh hardest.
Apple Rehab Uncasville runs 130 beds under corporate ownership, and its 3.18 nurse staffing hours per resident day sit about 18% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends are thinner still, roughly 10% below the home's own weekday coverage. Turnover of 35.2% actually beats the national 45.8%, so the problem isn't retention so much as how many hands are scheduled per shift. The inspection record is the harder read: 42 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse, and a $16,065 fine, with the last inspection in March 2024. Two-out-of-five stars on health inspections and quality measures tell you where the risk concentrates.
Apple Rehab Clipper runs 60 beds in Westerly, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.16 hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 8% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover runs 42%, a touch better than the 45.8% national figure, but the inspection record carries 25 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, along with two fines totaling $238,831. The most recent inspection was in May 2025. Corporate-owned and for-profit, the home earns mid-range marks on health inspections and quality measures, while its staffing score is comparatively stronger despite the below-average hours.
Apple Rehab Cromwell runs 85 beds as a for-profit corporate home, and its staffing sits at 3.44 nurse hours per resident day, about 11% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping roughly 5% below its own weekday numbers. Turnover of 43.4% is actually a hair better than the national 45.8%, so the problem here isn't retention. It's the record: 40 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, ten tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $27,991, all from an inspection dated December 2025. The government's own staffing score comes in at 4 out of 5, but inspections and quality measures both land at 2, which tells you where the trouble actually lives.
Apple Rehab Watertown runs 110 beds as a for-profit corporation, and its staffing sits at 3.46 nurse hours per resident day, about 10% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends run roughly 10% leaner than weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 35.2%, better than the 45.8% national figure, meaning the staff who are there tend to stay. The inspection record carries 36 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and six tied to abuse, plus a $25,058 fine. The most recent inspection was March 2026. Quality measures score low even though inspections score well, worth asking about.
Wolcott Hall runs 60 beds in Torrington under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are where you'd want to look first. At 3.29 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 15% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 13% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 45.8%, right at the national mark. The inspection record shows 33 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, with a single fine of $11,190. The last inspection was February 2025. Federal quality measures score 1 out of 5.
Apple Rehab Guilford runs 90 beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.20 hours per resident day, roughly 17% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts are the ones families tend to visit.
Turnover lands at 43.9%, essentially in line with the national 45.8%, so that's not the standout problem here. The inspection record is: 39 deficiencies on file, none flagged at harm or jeopardy level, but eight tied to abuse. The last inspection was February 2025, so the picture is current. Two stars each on health inspections and staffing, three on quality measures.
Apple Rehab Colchester runs on 3.25 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 16 percent under the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 12 percent below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 54.8 percent against a national 45.8 percent, so the people providing care are changing often.
The inspection record is the bigger concern: 49 deficiencies, including 5 at the harm or jeopardy level and 9 tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $41,203. The most recent inspection was August 2025.
For-profit corporate ownership, 60 beds. The staffing star rating looks acceptable on paper, but it doesn't reflect what those turnover numbers and the harm-level deficiencies suggest about daily life here.
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.
Apple Rehab Mystic runs a 60-bed for-profit home where the people doing the daily care are stretched thin. Nurse staffing sits at 2.91 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly a quarter less, and weekends dip about 8% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage is lightest exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover runs 63.9%, well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning CNAs and nurses cycle through often enough that familiarity suffers. The inspection record shows 32 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a $16,588 fine. Quality measures look decent and the last inspection was August 2024, but the staffing numbers are the ones worth weighing.
Apple Rehab Coccomo runs 100 beds under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing: 3.36 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 13 percent under the national average, with weekend coverage dropping another 11 percent below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 53.6 percent against a national 45.8 percent, so the people caring for residents keep changing. The inspection record shows 44 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus a $14,069 fine. Federal ratings put staffing at one star and both inspections and quality measures at two. The most recent inspection was August 2025.
Apple Rehab Avon runs 60 beds, and the nurse staffing number is the first thing worth your attention: 3.31 hours per resident per day, roughly 14 percent under the national average. Weekends dip about 6 percent below the home's own weekday coverage, and turnover sits at 55.2 percent against a national average of 45.8 percent, so the aides and nurses cycling through are both fewer and less likely to still be there next year.
The inspection record shows 46 deficiencies, seven tied to abuse, none rising to harm or jeopardy, plus one $78,309 fine. The most recent inspection was in November 2025, so it's current. Nothing here is catastrophic on paper, but thin staffing and heavy turnover are the conditions that make bad days possible.
