These current public-data fields deserve follow-up with the facility and the official Medicare record. They are not a clinical risk score or a substitute for an in-person assessment.
Staff turnover reported at 28%
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 76% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 19 findings, above the MA average of 8.9. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
CareOne at Newton receives a high volume of positive reviews praising its clean facility, dedicated rehabilitation team, and active recreation department. However, a subset of families and former patients reports serious concerns regarding neglect, poor hygiene, and inadequate staffing levels, particularly on weekends and night shifts. Prospective families should weigh the facility's strong clinical reputation against these recurring reports of inconsistent care quality.

Key Review Excerpts
“The case management team is incredible; they truly go the extra mile to provide resources for success. I’ve also been impressed by the PT staff, who don’t just work with patients but also take the time to train families so there is a solid support system in place.”
“My grandfather, who has parkinsons and dementia, was not given his medication for numerous days. His bed reeked of urine and clothes were soiled.”
“The staff here is so compassionate and provide great care.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

Original nursing home datasets
EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
These are the 6 closest facilities in our data within 10 miles. Proximity does not mean they provide the same care type or have stronger quality signals, so compare each profile and verify services directly.
