Nursing Home Facility

Carleton-Willard Village is a not-for-profit Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) set amid 72 acres of pristine fields and forest, yet close to the cultural and intellectual offerings of Boston, one of America's best-loved cities.
Carleton-Willard Village is licensed for 179 beds.
Federal reporting puts occupancy at about 52% of its licensed beds, so availability is more likely here than at busier communities nearby.
Medicare rates this community 5 out of 5 stars overall, a score based on health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. The individual scores differ noticeably: 5 stars for staffing against 3 stars for health inspections, so it is worth reading both before deciding. Its most recent standard health inspection was in May 2026 and recorded no deficiencies.
Residents receive about 5.2 hours of nursing care per day on average, including 1.0 hours from a registered nurse. Nursing staff turnover over the past year was about 32%.
Inspection record
In its last three standard inspections and any complaint visits, federal inspectors cited 11 problems at Carleton-Willard Village. 5 findings involved harm to a resident, including 3 that put residents in immediate danger. 9 came from investigating complaints by residents or families.
In the last three years Medicare fined this home twice, a total of $25,497.
A citation on its own does not mean poor care, and most are corrected within weeks. What matters most is how serious the findings were and whether the same problems keep coming back. When you visit, it is fair to ask the administrator what inspectors found and what has changed since.
Carleton-Willard Village offers assisted living, nursing home care, independent living, continuing care (CCRC), respite care, and senior living.
