Overview of Saint Francis Rehabilitation and Nursing Center

Facebook

Saint Francis Rehabilitation and Nursing Center is in Worcester, Massachusetts, managed by Landmark Health. It is a 51-bed community operating at 91.8% occupancy, which means availability is typically limited; that is worth knowing before a family counts on a spot being open. The neighborhood is genuinely walkable, with a Walk Score of 83. For a nursing home, that is a real practical advantage: visiting family can arrive on foot, and staff commutes are easier.

The average stay here runs 238 days, about seven and a half months. That sits between the short-stay rehab model and full long-term residency, which makes sense given the breadth of what the facility offers. The clinical program list covers a lot of ground: dialysis, cardiopulmonary rehabilitation, orthopedic recovery, stroke and falls rehabilitation, wound care, and an Alzheimer’s and dementia program. Adult day health and outpatient therapy extend the reach beyond the inpatient population. A doctor is on staff and transportation is available.

Staffing totals 4 hours and 41 minutes of nursing care per resident per day, with registered nurses accounting for 46 minutes and LPN/LVN staff contributing 42 minutes. Religious services are available on-site. Payment covers Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.

For adults who need specialty rehabilitation or longer nursing care in Worcester, Saint Francis offers a compact, high-occupancy facility with an unusually wide range of diagnosis-specific programs and a walkable location.

Hours per resident per day vs New Hampshire averages

Rank #18 / 61Nurse hours — State benchmarked This independent living community is ranked 18th out of 61 independent living communities we track in New Hampshire for nurse hours. Shows adjusted nurse hours per resident per day benchmarked to the New Hampshire average, with a ranking across 61 New Hampshire facilities. More hours mean more direct care. The national average is about 3.5 hrs; below 3.0 is a red flag. Communities with the same value for a metric share the same rank. Rankings compare like with like: every independent living community we track in New Hampshire that reports data for that category. Independent living communities without available data are excluded, so the pool size varies from metric to metric.

Total nursing care Info This independent living community is ranked 18th out of 61 independent living communities we track in New Hampshire for nurse hours. Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
