Summary

Fall River Jewish Home is a 62-bed for-profit facility characterized by staffing levels and turnover rates that sit below state averages, alongside a history of significant federal fines and a recent trajectory of decreasing inspection findings.

Detailed Analysis

Data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) shows that Fall River Jewish Home currently maintains a 2-star overall rating. The facility provides 3.25 total hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is approximately 15% lower than the Massachusetts state average of 3.86 hours. Registered nurse staffing specifically sits at 0.48 hours per resident per day, below the state average of 0.65 hours. Records indicate a significant drop in care during weekends, where total nursing hours fall to 2.88 per resident per day, a 11% reduction compared to weekday averages.

Stability in staffing is a noted concern in the public record, with a total nursing staff turnover rate of 56.9% and a registered nurse turnover rate of 50%, both exceeding state benchmarks. While the facility does not utilize contract or agency staff—a signal of consistency in the personnel roster—the high turnover rate indicates frequent staff changes. Inspection records show a downward trend in findings, decreasing from 26 in the previous cycle to 12 in the most recent 2025 report. However, 2025 findings included issues regarding the reporting of suspected abuse and neglect and fire safety protocols involving sprinkler systems and emergency drills. The facility is part of the Azure Healthcare chain, which maintains a chain-wide average overall rating of 1.3 stars.
