Staff turnover
21%

0

Civita Care Meadowbrook runs a fairly steady ship for a for-profit home in Granby. Its 30 deficiencies sound like a lot until you notice none rise to harm or jeopardy, the serious category, though two abuse-related citations are worth asking about directly. Nurse staffing sits at 3.54 hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average, and weekends dip about 7% below the home's own weekday coverage, so ask how they handle a Saturday fall. What stands out is turnover: 21.3%, less than half the national rate, which suggests aides and nurses tend to stay. A December 2025 inspection is recent, and four-star marks on health inspections and quality measures round out a home that looks solid rather than exceptional.

Southshore Health Care Center runs on 3.29 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average, and weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday coverage. The one bright spot is retention: 22.2% turnover is well below the 45.8% national figure. But the inspection record is where the trouble sits, 61 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and eight tied to abuse, along with a $26,395 fine and a one-star health inspection rating. Quality measures score well at four stars, which often reflects charting more than day-to-day care. For-profit corporate ownership, 96 beds, and the most recent inspection in August 2025. Ask hard questions about supervision and weekend coverage.

Staff turnover
30%
Serious cites
0

Parsons Hill runs on thinner nurse staffing than most homes, 3.18 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends about 10% leaner than weekdays. That gap is what drives the two-out-of-five staffing rating, and it matters most on Saturdays and Sundays when families tend to visit. The inspection record is mixed: 45 deficiencies on file, two tied to abuse, none rising to actual harm or jeopardy, and the most recent state visit was in March 2025. Ownership is for-profit, through a limited liability company. One genuine bright spot is turnover at 30%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests a steadier crew than many competitors.

Cape Regency runs lean on nursing hours, 3.35 per resident day, roughly 13 percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 12 percent below its own weekday levels. Turnover is the one bright spot: 29.1 percent against a national 45.8 percent, so the staff who are there tend to stay. The inspection record is the real problem. Forty-seven deficiencies on the current record, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with the most recent inspection in May 2025. For-profit, LLC-owned, 120 beds. If you're weighing this one, ask specifically about that harm-level finding and how the home covers weekends.

Civita Care Bayview runs 127 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers pull in opposite directions. Nurse staffing sits at 3.42 hours per resident day, about 12% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. What stands out more is the inspection record: 41 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in December 2025. Staff turnover of 19.1% is actually well below the 45.8% national figure, which suggests the people there tend to stay. Two fines totaling $23,179 round out the compliance picture.

Webster Manor runs lean on nursing staff, 3.27 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 14% below its own weekday coverage. That thinner weekend schedule matters most when families visit and when residents need help with meals, mobility, and toileting. The home holds 42 deficiencies on its current record, including two tied to abuse, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level. Its last inspection was in April 2025, so the picture is recent. Turnover sits at 41.4%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some stability among the aides and nurses who stay. For-profit corporate ownership and a two-star inspection rating round out what the numbers show.

Cape Heritage runs about 3.1 nursing hours per resident day, roughly a fifth under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 11% below its own weekday staffing. That thinner coverage shows up in its CMS ratings: two stars each for staffing and health inspections, with 56 deficiencies on the current record, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse. Turnover sits at 40.4%, which is actually a little better than the 45.8% national figure, and the most recent inspection was in May 2025, so the picture is fairly current. This is a for-profit limited liability company operating 123 certified beds.

Nurse staffing at Worcester Rehabilitation runs about 15% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 11% below what the home already staffs on weekdays. That thin coverage shows up in the inspection record too: 54 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $81,776. The one number working in its favor is turnover, 23.5% against a national average near 46%, meaning the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. Its last inspection was in May 2025, so the record is current, not stale. With 160 beds under for-profit partnership ownership, ask specifically how many nurses are on the floor on a Saturday night.

Southbridge Rehabilitation runs 144 beds under a for-profit LLC, and the number that stands out is nurse staffing: 3.22 hours per resident day, roughly 17% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 36.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some stability in the workforce even if raw hours are short. The current record shows 31 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, with an inspection dated April 2026. Quality measures score low, and low staffing usually explains why.

Lanessa Extended Care

Staff turnover
25%
Serious cites
0

Lanessa runs lean on nursing hours, about 3.06 per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 7% below its own weekday coverage. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 71 deficiencies, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with a single $119,962 fine and a survey completed in February 2025. Ownership is for-profit partnership, and CMS gives one star for health inspections and two for quality measures, even though staffing earns three. Turnover at 25% actually beats the 45.8% national figure, so this isn't a retention problem, it's what the building does with the staff it keeps.

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.

Abuse icon on record

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.

Berkshire Rehabilitation & Skilled Care Center is a 57-bed for-profit home in Sandisfield, and the numbers that stand out most are on the inspection side. Its record carries 28 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, a serious pattern for a building this size, and one that CMS rates just 2 out of 5 stars for health inspections. Nurse staffing runs 3.29 hours per resident day, about 15% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 17% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover, at 42.9%, is actually slightly better than the national 45.8%, which suggests the problem isn't retention so much as how many hands are scheduled in the first place.

Southeast Rehabilitation & Skilled Care Center is a 171-bed for-profit home in North Easton with a record that should give you pause. Inspectors have logged 67 deficiencies, including 3 at the harm or jeopardy level and 6 tied to abuse, and CMS rates all three of its star categories, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, at just one out of five. Its 3.13 nurse staffing hours per resident day runs about 19 percent below the national average, and weekends dip roughly 10 percent below its own weekday levels. The one bright spot is turnover: 27.5 percent against a national average of 45.8 percent, meaning the staff who are there tend to stay. The most recent inspection was July 31, 2025, with a single fine of $11,947 on record.

Northwood runs about 2.83 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 27% under the national average of 3.86, and it doesn't add help on weekends, when staffing dips another 3% below its own weekday level. The tradeoff isn't explained by retention: turnover is 23.8%, well below the national 45.8%, so people tend to stay. What the record shows instead is a pattern of problems: 55 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, five tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $165,780. The most recent inspection was August 2025, and the health inspection rating sits at 1 out of 5.

Plymouth Rehabilitation runs 186 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.12 hours per resident day, roughly 19% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 14% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays, so the weakest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover is the one number that beats the norm: 30.5% against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay. The inspection record is the harder read, 47 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse, and a $141,373 fine, with the most recent inspection in February 2026. All three CMS star ratings land at 2 out of 5.

Wadsworth Glen Health Care and Rehabilitation Center in Middletown is a 102-bed for-profit home, and the numbers worth knowing about are its staffing and its inspection record. The federal data puts total nurse staffing at 0.02 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, a gap of roughly the entire national figure, and weekend staffing drops about 43 percent below what the home manages on weekdays. Annual turnover sits at 51.9 percent, higher than the 45.8 percent national average. On inspections, the home carries 46 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse, with its most recent inspection dated August 11, 2025.

Oxford Rehabilitation & Health Care Center runs 120 beds in Haverhill under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.13 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop another 11% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the heavier concern: 41 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse, and $265,351 in fines across two penalties. Staff turnover at 36% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests the problem isn't retention so much as how many hands are scheduled. A February 2026 inspection is recent, so the record reflects current conditions.

Tremont runs about 2.95 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends are thinner still, about 9% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover sits at 40.6%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, but the staffing star rating is 2 out of 5 against a 4 out of 5 on health inspections, and the quality measure rating is 1 out of 5. There are 21 deficiencies on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, plus two fines totaling $285,936. The last inspection was February 2026. The inspection record looks solid; the daily staffing and quality numbers are where the concerns sit.
