St. Andre runs leaner than most places on turnover, about a third of its staff leaves each year against a national rate closer to 46%, which matters more than any single inspection score. Nurse hours per resident land at 4.24 a day, roughly a tenth above the national average, though weekends dip about 10% below what the home staffs during the week. Its record shows 11 deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, and the most recent state visit came in June 2025. The one soft spot in the federal data is quality measures, where it scores near the bottom.

St Mary Health Care Center runs 172 certified beds in Worcester under nonprofit ownership, and its staffing numbers tell a mixed story. Nurses provide 3.54 hours per resident day, roughly 8 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 5 percent below the home's own weekday coverage. Where it stands out is retention: 30.6 percent turnover against a national average of 45.8 percent, which suggests a steadier workforce than most. The tradeoff shows up in oversight, 27 deficiencies on the current record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus a single $8,788 fine. The most recent inspection was April 14, 2026, so the picture is current.

M I Nursing & Restorative Center runs 250 certified beds in Lawrence under nonprofit ownership, and its staff retention is genuinely unusual: 28.1% annual turnover against a national average of 45.8%. That stability shows in the staffing stars, though the raw bedside hours, 3.83 per resident day, sit just under the national figure, and weekends drop roughly 9% below the home's own weekday coverage. The inspection record is where the picture darkens: 25 deficiencies on file, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus $17,011 in fines across two penalties. Two stars each for health inspections and quality measures tell you regulators and clinical metrics both land mid-range. No abuse citations, at least, and the most recent inspection is recent, January 2026.

Saint Mary's Villa runs on more direct nursing time than most homes, 4.08 hours per resident day against a national average near 3.86, and it holds onto its nurses better than the typical facility, with turnover at 37.6% versus 45.8% nationally. That stability matters, though weekends thin out about 14% below weekday coverage, so a Saturday concern may take longer to answer. The inspection record shows 18 deficiencies, none serious enough to trigger a harm or jeopardy citation, plus one abuse-related finding worth asking about directly. Last inspected in September 2025, so the record is recent. As a nonprofit, it answers to a board rather than shareholders.

St Mary's D'youville Pavilion runs 210 beds under nonprofit ownership, and the staffing numbers are genuinely better than most: 4.01 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends only about 2% lighter than weekdays. That consistency matters. What pulls the record down is inspection history, 28 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a $22,205 fine and a one-star health inspection rating, though the most recent survey was March 2025. Staff turnover sits at 50%, above the 45.8% national figure. Quality measures score well. The pattern here is a home that's well-staffed on paper but has real compliance problems to ask about directly.

Penacook Place runs on 3.76 nurse hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and weekend coverage slips about 4% below its weekday level, worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 39%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether your parent sees the same faces month to month. The tradeoff shows up in the inspection record: 26 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse, plus $33,677 in fines across four penalties. The most recent inspection was June 2025, so the picture is current.

Maristhill runs a lean, stable nursing crew: 3.90 nurse hours per resident day, just above the national mark, with weekend coverage dipping about 8% below weekdays. That consistency shows up in turnover, 15.3% against a national average near 46%, which matters because familiar aides tend to notice changes in a resident sooner. The trouble sits on the inspection side, where 43 deficiencies include one at the harm level and four tied to abuse, and the last survey came in late 2025. Staffing is the strength here; the survey record is what a family should ask about directly before deciding.

Mount St Rita Health Centre runs about 3.99 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and its weekend staffing holds within roughly 8% of weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 39%, lower than the 45.8% national figure. The trouble is the inspection record: 27 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with five fines totaling $274,749. The most recent inspection was December 2025, so the findings are current. Stronger staffing and steadier retention are real positives here, but the harm-level citations and the fine total are what pull the overall picture down to a middling grade. Ask about the abuse-related deficiency and the plan to fix it.
