West Side House Ltc Facility

Worcester, MA · Worcester County

CMS 5/591 bedsFor-profitMedicaid
Nurse hours
4.26 /day
Staff turnover
50%
Serious cites
0

West Side House runs about 4.26 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, and it holds a five-star inspection record with no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level, a meaningful distinction when the current count is 13, including two tied to abuse. The catch is staffing shape: weekends run about 11% thinner than weekdays, and turnover sits at 50%, above the 45.8% national figure. A recent inspection in March 2026 means the survey history is current, not stale. Corporate for-profit ownership, 91 beds. The scores are strong; the turnover and weekend dip are the parts to ask about directly.

Blaire House Of Worcester runs 75 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.94 hours per resident day, slightly above the national average of 3.86, though weekend coverage drops about 11% below what it provides on weekdays. Staff turnover is 38.6%, notably better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The current inspection record shows 17 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, along with a single fine of $13,095. The last inspection was in August 2025, so the findings are recent. Three-star ratings across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing round out a mixed but not alarming picture.

Blaire House Of Milford runs 73 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing is the one number that holds up, 4.09 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% above the national average, with turnover at 39% against a national 45.8%. Weekends dip roughly 8% below weekday coverage, which is worth asking about directly. The inspection record is where the picture darkens: 55 deficiencies on file, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, plus one fine of $38,610. The last inspection was May 2025, so this is current, not stale. Quality measures sit at 1 out of 5 stars. Ask about the abuse deficiencies and what changed since.

Brandon Woods of Dartmouth runs 118 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits right at the national average of 3.86 hours per resident day. That sounds fine until you notice weekends run about 11% thinner than weekdays, and turnover hits 49.6%, nearly four points above the national rate. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 40 deficiencies, five of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus three tied to abuse. Three fines totaling $31,009 are on file, and the last inspection was February 2025. Federal ratings put health inspections and quality measures both at 2 out of 5. If you're weighing this one, ask hard questions about weekend coverage and how they've addressed those abuse-related findings.

Special Focus Facility

Brandon Woods of New Bedford has more nursing hours per resident than the typical home, 4.35 a day against a national average of 3.86, but that staffing edge comes with a catch: weekends run about 11% thinner than weekdays, and nearly half the nursing staff turns over each year. The inspection record is the real problem. Eighty deficiencies are on file, including eight at the harm or jeopardy level and ten tied to abuse, with one fine totaling $464,490. CMS has placed this for-profit, individually owned home in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the country's most persistently troubled nursing homes. The last inspection was December 16, 2024.

Special Focus Facility

Blaire House of Tewksbury runs 131 beds as a for-profit corporation, and the numbers behind its record are worth knowing before you visit. Nurse staffing sits at 3.24 hours per resident per day, roughly 16 percent under the national average, and it thins out further on weekends. Staff turnover is 50.8 percent a year against a 45.8 percent national figure, so the people caring for residents are changing often. What stands out most is the inspection history: 70 deficiencies on the current record, including 8 tied to abuse and 2 serious enough to put residents in harm's way, plus $70,727 in fines. CMS has placed this home in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a pattern of persistent problems.
