New to these records? How to read an inspection report →
Health inspection rating: ★☆☆☆☆1/5 · CMS overall rating: 2/5 · how star ratings work →
The health inspection star above is graded on a curve within each state — a set share of each state's facilities gets each star level — so a facility can have few citations and still rate 2–3 stars if others in its state did even better. The overall rating combines that inspection score with staffing and quality measures from resident assessments and claims.
▲ Actual harm, isolated · Sep 3, 2025 · F-0756 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not have a licensed pharmacist review each resident's complete medication regimen and medical chart every month, or did not follow its own rules for reporting medication problems.
Why it matters: Skipped pharmacist reviews allow unnecessary drugs, wrong doses, and harmful interactions to go undetected.
Severity (G): Actual harm was cited, below immediate jeopardy. The scope was isolated: limited residents, staff, or locations were affected. Scope describes the extent of the deficiency, not whether it happened on previous inspections.

▲ Actual harm, isolated · Sep 3, 2025 · F-0760 · triggered by a complaint

▲ Actual harm, isolated · Oct 9, 2024 · F-0689 · triggered by a complaint

▲ Actual harm, isolated · Oct 9, 2024 · F-0806 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not provide food that accounts for each resident's allergies, intolerances, and personal preferences, or did not offer appealing alternatives.

| Measure | This facility | Massachusetts avg | U.S. avg | Where it stands |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total nurse staffing (hours per resident per day) | 3.66 | 3.89 | 3.95 | bottom 43% in Massachusetts; bottom 45% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.50 | 0.65 | 0.69 | bottom 32% in Massachusetts; bottom 38% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 3.47 | 3.51 | 3.50 | top 42% in Massachusetts; top 44% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.41 | 0.46 | 0.48 | top 48% in Massachusetts; top 46% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 29.3 | 38.2 | 45.8 | top 23% in Massachusetts; top 13% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 48.3 | 42.6 | 42.9 | bottom 37% in Massachusetts; bottom 39% in the U.S. |
Hours are per resident per day for the most recent quarter of payroll data in this CMS release (2026-08-01) — the same quarter for every facility — case-mix adjusted by CMS so facilities caring for sicker residents can be compared fairly (same basis as the CMS staffing star). "Top X%" means better than most facilities: more staffing hours, or lower turnover. Raw (unadjusted) reported hours: total 3.76, RN 0.51, weekend 3.57.Comparing with Medicare Care Compare? Care Compare shows the raw figure (3.76 here, displayed there as hours and minutes), not the adjusted one above. Both are correct; they answer different questions. Staffing rating: 3/5.
Note: CMS combines facility-reported resident assessments (MDS) with claims-based measures. These are different sources from on-site inspection findings. Read the measures alongside inspection and staffing records; a high QM rating does not establish that a home is safe.
Quality measures rating: 5/5 · long-stay residents: 5/5 · short-stay residents: 4/5
Price evidence · separate from quality
No verified facility-specific private-pay price is available in our data for Care One at Newton. CMS inspection and staffing records do not tell us what this home will charge you.
Use a written private-pay quote. This worksheet adds only the amounts you enter; it does not calculate Medicare, Medicaid or insurance benefits.
Formula: (room rate + daily extras) × days + one-time charges. A 30-day scenario is not a calendar-month quote. Refundable deposits, rate changes and charges you omit are not automatically included. Entries are not saved or sent to our server.
