Overview of Saint Francis Rehabilitation and Nursing Center
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.
Quality ratings
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.

| 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.
| 46m per day | ▲ 18% State avg: 39m 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.
| 42m per day | ▼ 26% State avg: 57m 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.
| 2h 10m per day | ▼ 4% State avg: 2h 16m per day · National avg: 2h 20m 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.
| 3h 7m per day | ▼ 10% State avg: 3h 29m per day · National avg: 3h 27m 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.
| 2m per day | ▼ 58% State avg: 5m 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.
