Nurse staffing at Leonard Florence Center for Living runs 7.34 hours per resident day, roughly 90% above the national average of 3.86, so direct care hours are generous rather than tight. Weekend coverage dips about 6% below its own weekday level, a modest gap. Annual turnover sits at 31.2%, well under the 45.8% national figure, and the nonprofit corporation that runs it has kept its inspection record current through November 2025. The eight deficiencies on file include none at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing related to abuse, with 5/5 stars across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing.

Katzman Family Center for Living runs on a nonprofit model with 123 certified beds in Chelsea, and the numbers behind its record are steady across the board. Nurse staffing sits at 4.01 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, though weekend coverage drops roughly 10% from its weekday level, worth asking about if your family visits or needs care on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 23.8%, close to half the national rate, which suggests people tend to stay. The inspection history is clean: three deficiencies on record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in March 2026.

Jeffrey & Susan Brudnick Center for Living runs on real staffing depth: 4.58 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping only about 6% below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 27.2% against a national average of 45.8%, which matters more than any single inspection score because consistent caregivers notice changes in residents sooner. The current record shows 19 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, and a single fine of $10,194. The last inspection was April 2026, so the picture is recent rather than stale. For a 180-bed nonprofit, the numbers describe a home that's well staffed and mostly clean on paper, with one incident worth asking about directly.

The German Center for Extended Care is a 133-bed nonprofit in Boston, and its strongest number isn't the one you'd guess. Staff turnover runs 24.8%, well under the national 45.8%, that kind of retention usually means people stay, and staying tends to mean consistent care. Nurse staffing sits at 3.77 hours per resident day, just under the 3.86 national average, and weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out a bit on Saturdays and Sundays. Twenty deficiencies are on record, but none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was recent, in September 2025.

Julian J Levitt Family Nursing Home runs 200 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation. Nurse staffing sits at 3.94 hours per resident day, modestly above the national average of 3.86, though weekends run about 8% thinner than weekdays. Staff turnover is 38.7%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. The inspection record is where the picture gets more complicated: 21 deficiencies, two of them at the harm or jeopardy level, and one fine of $11,468. The most recent inspection was in May 2025, so the record is current rather than stale. Quality measures score well, staffing is average, and the health inspection side carries real weight, families should ask specifically about those two harm-level findings.
