Working at Fitchburg Healthcare

Fitchburg Healthcare is a 160-bed nursing home in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. Over the 12-month period CMS measures, 38.9% of its registered nurses stopped working here. Across the 317 Massachusetts nursing homes CMS reports, the average is 42.7%, so Fitchburg Healthcare keeps its RNs better than 55% of nursing homes in the state.

Staffing tells a different story. Residents here receive about 24 minutes of RN time per day, against 38 minutes across Massachusetts. That is less RN coverage than most Massachusetts nursing homes. CMS gives Fitchburg Healthcare a staffing rating of 2 out of 5.

What this means if you apply here

  • About 61% of RNs counted here stayed through CMS's 12-month measurement period, so you would join a team with continuity.
  • RN hours per resident run below the state average, so ask how assignments are built on your shift.

Questions to ask in your interview

  • How many residents does each RN cover on the shift I would work?
  • How is weekend RN coverage handled?
  • What keeps your RNs here? Ask the nurses you meet, not only the manager.
