Ledgewood runs on a corporate for-profit model with 123 beds, and its staffing sits just under the national mark, 3.75 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86. That's close enough that the bigger story is weekends, when coverage drops roughly 11% below the home's own weekday level. Turnover is the genuine bright spot: 24.1% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the people who care for your family member tend to stay. Fourteen deficiencies are on record with none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related and worth asking about directly. The most recent inspection was August 2025, so the picture is current.

Bay Path At Duxbury runs a tight ship on the clinical side. The state surveyors gave it a five-star health inspection rating, and its record shows just four deficiencies, none of them at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. Inspectors were last in on July 18, 2025, so the picture is recent. Where it gives some ground is bedside time: 3.73 total nurse hours per resident day sits about 3% under the national 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover, at 42.3%, is actually a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. A for-profit LLC with solid inspections but lean hours, worth asking how weekends feel.

Harbor House runs 142 certified beds in Hingham under for-profit LLC ownership, and its numbers are decent without being remarkable. Nurse staffing sits at 3.54 hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends slip another 8% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Where it stands out is retention: 32.4% annual turnover against a national average of 45.8% suggests people stay, which matters for consistency of care. The current record shows 22 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related and worth asking about directly. Its last inspection was in November 2025, so the picture is recent.

Hancock Park runs 142 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.75 hours per resident day, roughly 3% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 7% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot: 35.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning caregivers here tend to stay longer than at the typical home. What tempers that is the inspection record, 23 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in December 2025. The quality measure rating of 4 out of 5 shows clinical care can score well even when the survey history is crowded.

Seacoast runs 142 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.59 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average, with weekends running roughly another 10% thinner than weekdays. That pattern matters more than the yearly average, because weekends are when families often visit and when problems surface. Turnover at 42.2% is slightly better than the national 45.8%, which is a point in its favor, but the inspection record carries 21 deficiencies, including one at harm level and one abuse-related, plus a $34,808 fine. The last inspection was May 2025, so the record is recent. Ask about weekend coverage and how that abuse deficiency was resolved.

Craneville runs on thinner staffing than most homes, and the gap widens on weekends. At 3.67 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 5% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops roughly 12% below what the home provides Monday through Friday. Annual turnover of 52.3% is higher than the 45.8% national figure, which means aides and nurses cycle through faster than average, worth asking how that affects who's actually on the floor. The health inspection side looks better: a 4-out-of-5 rating with no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related on a record of 18 total. Its last inspection was in April 2025.
