Regalcare at Lowell, a 90-bed nursing home at 30 Princeton Boulevard in Lowell (Middlesex County), Massachusetts, earned a 1-star overall CMS rating. The driving factor is a 1-star health inspection score, placing the facility well below state performance levels. Quality measures run 5.6% below the Massachusetts average.
While reported nursing hours exceed the state average by 33%, the actual staff-to-resident ratio is 1.21:1 and falls 27% short of the state benchmark. This discrepancy reflects an imbalanced staffing model. Critically, certified nursing aide hours, which provide most direct resident assistance, run 22% below the state average of 2 hours 16 minutes per resident per day. CNA shifts average just 6.9 hours, among the shortest in the state.
In March 2025, the facility incurred a $71,000 federal civil money penalty.
Long-stay quality metrics reveal vulnerabilities. Pressure ulcer rates in high-risk residents reach 7.3%, nearly 60% above the state average. Functional decline in activities of daily living affects 24.4% of residents, 31% worse than state norms. Hospital readmission and emergency department utilization both run above state averages, signaling either care management challenges or acuity-driven clinical needs.
Short-stay rehabilitation outcomes perform better than average, with strong discharge self-care outcomes and minimal antipsychotic medication initiation. Urinary tract infection and depression rates are favorable. Occupancy stands at 70.7%, below the Massachusetts average. The facility admits 41% Medicare (short-stay rehab) and 33% Medicaid (long-term), though current resident census is 77% Medicaid.
RegalCare serves a shifting population: historically mixed short-term and long-term, now predominantly long-term Medicaid-supported residents requiring extended skilled care.
