Sarah S. Brayton Center maintains a 1-star overall rating from federal regulators, characterized by a high volume of health inspection findings and clinical performance measures that fall below state averages.
The data indicates a facility profile with significant challenges in regulatory compliance and consistency of care. The overall profile is characterized by a health inspection rating of 1 out of 5 stars, with the most recent survey identifying 20 inspection findings. These findings included failures to protect resident property and belongings, delays in reporting suspected abuse or neglect investigations, and issues with developing measuring-based care plans within 48 hours of admission. Compared to the Massachusetts state average of 8.9 deficiencies per cycle, this facility’s recent history shows a higher frequency of regulatory citations.
Staffing data presents a mixed performance. The facility provides 3.58 hours of total nursing care per resident per day, which is below the state average of 3.86 hours. Of this time, registered nurses provide 0.72 hours of care, which is slightly above the state average of 0.65 hours. However, the data shows a notable drop in staffing during weekends, where care hours decrease by approximately 15% compared to the weekday average. While the facility maintains stable leadership with zero administrator departures in the reported period, the total nursing staff turnover rate remains elevated at 45.5%, which is higher than the state average of 39.5%. Furthermore, the facility relies on contract or agency staff for 22.4% of its registered nurse hours, which is a significant portion of its professional nursing workforce. Admissions and short-stay quality measures received the lowest possible rating (1 out of 5 stars), indicating potential areas of concern regarding the consistency of clinical outcomes for temporary residents.
The facility reported 20 health inspection findings in the most recent cycle, more than double the Massachusetts state average of 8.9.
There is a 15.3% reduction in nursing care hours on weekends (3.03 hours) compared to daily averages (3.58 hours).
Records show a substantial federal fine of $151,920 issued on September 18, 2023.
This shows how the facility's federal ratings have changed over the past 24 months. Consistent high ratings suggest stable quality, while declining trends may warrant further investigation.

Staffing depth is the strongest predictor of care quality. Facilities routinely cut staff on evenings and weekends — the shifts when falls happen and call lights go unanswered.
