Sedgewood Commons sits in the Falmouth Foreside neighborhood of Falmouth, Maine, a quiet, car-dependent stretch where you’ll want a vehicle for most errands (Walk Score: 13). It’s a single-story nursing home with 91 beds, split between private and semi-private rooms, and it covers a wide range of care: nursing home services alongside hospice, memory care, palliative care, and respite stays.
This place runs nearly full almost all the time. Occupancy sits at 94.7%, and the average resident stays about 208 days, just under seven months. That’s a long enough window to suggest most people here aren’t passing through for a quick recovery; they’re settling in. Sedgewood Commons takes Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, and the breakdown tells its own story: most new residents come in paying privately (56%), usually for a four to five month stretch. Medicare residents make up 41% of admissions and usually cycle through in about a month, the classic short-term rehab pattern. Medicaid residents are a smaller slice of new arrivals, but when they’re here, they tend to stay for years, not months.
Staffing breaks down across three roles: registered nurses put in 56 minutes per resident each day, licensed practical nurses add 29 minutes, and nurse aides contribute the largest chunk at 2 hours and 18 minutes. Combined, that’s 3 hours and 49 minutes of nursing attention per resident daily, a mix that spans clinical oversight down to hands-on, day-to-day help.
Residents here also have a formal say in how things run. An Active Resident Council meets regularly to weigh in on policies, care quality, and activities, which is a structural detail worth noting if you care about residents having actual input rather than just programming handed down to them. There’s also a fitness and recreation amenity for residents who want to stay physically active.
Taken together, this is a facility built for both short stays and long ones, with a payer mix and length-of-stay pattern that points to a community comfortable handling both ends of that spectrum.
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.
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.
This home is ranked 23rd out of 34 homes in Maine 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.
| 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.
| 56m per day | ▼ 11% State avg: 1h 3m 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.
| 29m per day | ▲ 6% State avg: 27m 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 18m per day | ▼ 19% State avg: 2h 51m 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.
| 3h 31m per day | ▼ 10% State avg: 3h 55m 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.
| 4m per day | ▼ 11% 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.
| 47m per day | ▲ 6% State avg: 44m per day · National avg: 29m per day |
Average number of days residents stay at this facility, based on CMS cost report data. Shorter stays often reflect post-acute or rehab care; longer stays reflect long-term care.

Net patient revenue — what the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts are subtracted from its gross charges (CMS cost report, Worksheet G-3). It covers resident care only; money the home earns from other sources is shown separately as "Other income."
Net patient income: net patient revenue minus the home's total operating expenses. A positive figure means it earns more from resident care than it spends to deliver it; a negative figure means the opposite. It excludes non-operating "other income."

Money the home earns outside of resident care — such as investments, grants, rentals and other non-operating sources (CMS cost report, Worksheet G-3). It is tracked separately from net patient revenue: it is not part of that figure, and it is not included in net patient income.
Staff salaries plus wage-related costs — benefits such as payroll taxes, health insurance and retirement — from the home's own accounting records (CMS cost report, Worksheet A). Contract or agency labor is counted separately, under other operating costs.
