Kennebunk Center For Health & Rehabilitation, Llc

Kennebunk, ME · York County

CMS 2/578 bedsFor-profitMedicaid
Nurse hours

Staff turnover
55%
Serious cites
0

Kennebunk Center for Health & Rehabilitation runs 78 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.04 hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average of 3.86. That cushion shrinks on weekends, when coverage drops about 7% below the home's own weekday level. Staff turnover is the bigger issue: 54.7% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The home carries 36 deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with its last inspection dated April 2026. CMS rates it 2 of 5 stars on both health inspections and quality measures, and 3 on staffing.

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
49%
Serious cites

The Pines At Catskill runs 3.15 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average, and weekends drop about 15% below what it manages on weekdays. That thin coverage shows up in its record: 25 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, with $13,247 in fines and a health inspection rating of 1 out of 5. Staff turnover sits at 48.5%, above the national figure, which means aides and nurses are cycling through steadily. The quality measure rating of 5 shows some clinical targets are being met, and the most recent inspection was in July 2025. It's a for-profit LLC, so ask direct questions about who's on the floor on a Saturday night.

The Pines at Glens Falls runs 3.29 nurse staffing hours per resident day, about 15% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops roughly 13% below what it manages on weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 57.8% against a national 45.8%, so familiar faces are hard to count on. Eighteen deficiencies appear on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated March 2026. The quality measure stars look strong here, but that number reflects clinical metrics rather than day-to-day presence of aides and nurses. For a 120-bed for-profit LLC, the question worth asking on a tour is who actually shows up on a Saturday.

Abuse icon on record

Hebrew Center for Health and Rehabilitation runs 257 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.76 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 3% under the national average, with weekends running about 10% thinner than its own weekdays. Turnover is the bright spot: 34.6% against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay. The inspection record is where it gets harder. A 2/5 health inspection rating, 43 deficiencies on file including 9 tied to abuse, and one fine of $27,927. No deficiency reached harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was recent, in January 2026. Strong quality measures and steady staff, weighed against a long citation history.

Abuse icon on record

Bloomfield Center runs on thinner nursing coverage than most homes, 3.32 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 9% below its own weekday level. That's a real gap when someone needs help on a Saturday. Staff turnover sits at 33%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the aides who are there tend to stay. The bigger concern is the record: 55 deficiencies, 13 of them abuse-related, and a 2-out-of-5 inspection rating, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level and the most recent inspection was in May 2025. Quality measures score 4 out of 5. For-profit corporate ownership. If you're considering this one, ask directly about weekend coverage and how abuse allegations get investigated.

Riverside Health & Rehabilitation Center runs 345 certified beds in East Hartford under corporate for-profit ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 3.80 hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 8% leaner than weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Where it stands out is retention: 21.9% turnover against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. The inspection record is the harder read. Forty-three deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, plus three fines totaling $61,394, with the most recent inspection dated January 22, 2026.

Ludlowe Center runs 144 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is the clearest strength: 4.24 nurse hours per resident day, about 10% above the national average, with turnover at 23.6%, roughly half the national rate of 45.8%. Weekend coverage does dip about 10% below weekday levels. The inspection record is where the trouble sits. Twenty-four deficiencies are on file, three at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, along with two fines totaling $47,317 and a two-star health inspection rating. The most recent inspection was September 2025, so the record is current, not stale. Strong retention, mixed oversight.

Abuse icon on record

Water's Edge runs 150 beds in Middletown under corporate ownership, and its inspection record is the thing to look at first. Thirty-six deficiencies, four serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and five tied to abuse. Three fines add up to $99,037. Staffing sits at 3.61 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 10% below weekdays. Turnover is 39.2%, better than the 45.8% national figure, but that's the one bright number in the staffing picture. The quality measure stars look good on paper, though those come from self-reported data. The most recent inspection was March 2026. Ask about staffing on weekends and how the abuse deficiencies were resolved before you decide.

Marlborough Health & Rehabilitation Center runs 120 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble starts: 3.44 nurse hours per resident day sits about 11% below the national average, and weekends drop another 11% below its own weekday level. Turnover at 36.8% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the problem isn't retention so much as how few hours each resident gets. The inspection record is heavier: 40 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 11 abuse-related, with two fines totaling $206,228. The last inspection was August 2023, so that record has had time to age without being cleared.

Laurel Ridge is a 126-bed for-profit home in Ridgefield, and its numbers point in two directions at once. The care side looks solid: 4.06 nurse hours per resident per day, above the national average, with weekend staffing dipping roughly 10% below weekdays, and turnover at 37.9%, better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is the problem: 31 deficiencies, including six tied to abuse and one at the harm or jeopardy level. A 2-out-of-5 inspection rating against a 5-out-of-5 quality measure score is a real split. The most recent state visit was April 8, 2025, so that record is current. Ask about those abuse deficiencies specifically before you tour.

Summit at Plantsville runs 150 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.58 hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover runs 38.7%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the same faces are more likely to stick around. What pulls the record down is the inspection side: 43 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating and a $3,652 fine.
