About 2.66 miles from St. Joseph Hospital, The Huntington at Nashua is a 24-bed small, newly established nursing care community on Kent Lane in Nashua’s Ward 8 neighborhood. It caters to occupants needing nursing care, assisted living, or independent living support, offering one- and two-bedroom units. Run by administrator Lisa M. Valcourt, it represents a licensed nursing home at an intimate scale, meaning residents interact closely with staff and one another in a setting markedly smaller than conventional facilities.
For families evaluating the facility’s staffing, registered nurse coverage is at 43 minutes per resident day, with licensed practical nurse hours at 50 minutes, and nurse aide hours at 1 hour 27 minutes daily. When considering fit for nursing care, such figures are worth comparing against your own expectations and local benchmarks. The smaller size means less on-site programming and fewer amenities than a larger community, a trade-off that fits families prioritizing daily staff proximity and individualized attention over expansive activity calendars. The neighborhood environment is somewhat walkable, scoring 26 on the Walk Score scale. A car or arranged transportation is then required for most errands and appointments. The pet-friendly home can matter a great deal for occupants needing their animals nearby.
At just one year old, The Huntington at Nashua is a compact, recently established option for families seeking nursing care capabilities in a small-community setting within Hillsborough County.
Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
| Staff type | Hours / Day / Resident | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.
| 43m per day | ▼ 4% State avg: 45m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.
| 50m per day | ▲ 9% State avg: 46m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
| 1h 27m per day | ▼ 39% State avg: 2h 23m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day |
|
Weekend Total Nursing
Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.
| 2h 28m per day | ▼ 28% State avg: 3h 26m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day |
|
Physical Therapist
Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.
| 1m per day | ▼ 75% State avg: 4m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
Weekend RN
Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.
| 27m per day | ▼ 13% State avg: 31m per day · National avg: 29m per day |
