Meriden Nursing Homes

Meriden Nursing Homes and Skilled Nursing Facilities

Meriden has eight skilled nursing homes, with Medicare ratings available for seven. The average overall rating is 2.6 stars out of five, significantly below the national average. Only two facilities rate four stars or better, including the city's top-rated five-star home. Three homes fall at two stars or lower, indicating widespread issues in care quality as measured by federal standards.

Staffing levels are notably low. The average is 3.6 nursing hours per resident daily, with just 0.7 hours from a registered nurse. Annual nursing staff turnover averages 42%, meaning teams change frequently. High turnover and insufficient registered nurse time often correlate with challenges in consistent, specialized care for residents.

Statewide, shared room nursing home costs average $135,050 yearly, though Meriden rates don't reflect this price. With most local homes scoring poorly, families should prioritize checking the federal Nursing Home Compare website for the most current ratings and staffing details. Consider nearby towns if higher-rated options within Meriden are limited.
