Waterbury Center For Nursing & Rehabilitation Llc

Waterbury, CT · Naugatuck Vly County

Nurse hours
3.88 /day
Staff turnover
30%
Serious cites
0

Waterbury Center runs on a for-profit partnership model with 120 certified beds, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.88 hours per resident day, just barely above the national average, but weekends drop about 19% below weekday levels, which is where gaps tend to show up. Turnover at 30.2% is notably better than the 45.8% national figure, suggesting a more stable workforce than most. On inspections, the home holds a 4-star rating with 32 deficiencies on record, none rising to harm or jeopardy, though 5 are abuse-related. The last inspection was December 2024, so the picture is recent.

Torrington Center runs a strong staffing operation, 4.51 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17% above the national average, and its 21.1% turnover is less than half the national figure, which matters for continuity of care. CMS gives it 5 stars for staffing. But the inspection record tells a different story: 41 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two abuse-related citations, and the last inspection wasn't recent. Quality measures sit at 2 stars, and weekend staffing drops about 16% below weekday levels, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. For-profit, LLC-owned, 75 beds, a home where the day-to-day care capacity looks solid but the compliance record and clinical outcomes lag behind.

Southport Center runs 4.43 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent above the national average, and its staff turnover of 27.4 percent sits well below the 45.8 percent norm, a sign people tend to stay. That matters, because consistent caregivers know residents. But weekends run about 14 percent thinner than weekdays, so the coverage you see on a Tuesday isn't what you get on a Sunday. The current record carries 57 deficiencies, one serious enough to cause harm and five tied to abuse, with a $13,757 fine. State inspectors last visited in July 2025. For-profit, limited liability ownership.

West Haven Center runs 98 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.95 nurse hours per resident day, a hair above the national average of 3.86, but weekends drop about 16% below its own weekday levels, so coverage isn't even across the week. Turnover is 35.9%, noticeably better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. The inspection record is the weak spot: 59 deficiencies, four tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. The most recent inspection was June 2025, so the record is current. Quality and staffing each earned three stars from CMS; health inspections earned two.

Abuse icon on record

New Haven Center For Nursing & Rehabilitation runs 4.04 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 27.6% is well below the national 45.8%, people tend to stay. That stability doesn't show up in oversight, though. The home's inspection record carries 80 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and eight tied to abuse, with $61,814 in fines and a health inspection rating of 1 out of 5. Weekend staffing also drops roughly 16% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins when families visit. The last inspection was August 2025, so the record is current.

Abuse icon on record

Advanced Center For Nursing & Rehabilitation runs 226 certified beds in New Haven under corporate ownership, and the inspection record is where the trouble sits: a one-star health inspection rating, 72 deficiencies on the current record, three of them serious enough to cause harm or put residents in jeopardy, and six tied to abuse. A single $72,450 fine is also on file. Staffing sits slightly under the national average at 3.78 hours per resident day, and weekends run about 19% thinner than weekdays, so coverage is lightest when families tend to visit. Turnover, at 34.4%, is actually better than the national 45.8%, one of the few numbers here working in the home's favor. The most recent inspection was January 2025.
