About This Facility
What is Seabury's CMS Rating?
CMS assigns SEABURY an overall rating of 5 out of 5 stars, which is considered much above average nationally. Within Connecticut, this rating places the facility higher than 99% of the state's 100 nursing homes. This rating reflects solid performance across the metrics CMS uses to evaluate nursing home quality.
How is Seabury Staffed?
CMS rates SEABURY's staffing level at 5 out of 5 stars, which is much above average compared to other nursing homes. Staff turnover is 18%, compared to the Connecticut average of 46%. This relatively stable workforce can support continuity of care.
What Have Inspectors Found at Seabury?
State health inspectors documented 16 deficiencies at SEABURY during 2019 to 2024. These included: 16 with potential for harm.
Who Owns and Operates Seabury?
SEABURY is owned by a non-profit organization. Non-profit facilities reinvest revenue into operations rather than distributing to shareholders. The facility operates independently rather than as part of a larger chain. With 72 certified beds and approximately 65 residents (about 90% occupancy), it is a smaller facility located in BLOOMFIELD, Connecticut.
How Does Seabury Compare to Other Connecticut Nursing Homes?
Compared to the 100 nursing homes in Connecticut, SEABURY's overall rating (5 stars) is above the state average of 3.1, staff turnover (18%) is significantly lower than the state average of 46%, and health inspection rating (4 stars) is above the national benchmark.
What Should Families Ask When Visiting Seabury?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "Can I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?" "How do you handle medical emergencies, and what is your hospital transfer rate?" "Can I speak with family members of current residents about their experience?"
Is Seabury Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, SEABURY has a clean safety record: no substantiated abuse findings (meaning no confirmed cases of resident harm), no Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death), and is not on the Special Focus Facility watch list (a federal program monitoring the lowest-performing 1% of nursing homes). The facility has a 5-star overall rating and ranks #1 of 100 nursing homes in Connecticut. While no facility is perfect, families should still ask about staff-to-resident ratios and recent inspection results during their visit.
Do Nurses at Seabury Stick Around?
Staff at SEABURY tend to stick around. With a turnover rate of 18%, the facility is 27 percentage points below the Connecticut average of 46%. Low turnover is a positive sign. It means caregivers have time to learn each resident's needs, medications, and personal preferences. Consistent staff also notice subtle changes in a resident's condition more quickly. Registered Nurse turnover is also low at 18%, meaning experienced RNs are available to handle complex medical needs.
Was Seabury Ever Fined?
SEABURY has no federal fines on record. CMS issues fines when nursing homes fail to meet care standards or don't correct problems found during inspections. The absence of fines suggests the facility has either maintained compliance or corrected any issues before penalties were assessed. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review recent inspection reports for the full picture.
Is Seabury on Any Federal Watch List?
SEABURY is not on any federal watch list. The most significant is the Special Focus Facility (SFF) program, which identifies the bottom 1% of nursing homes nationally based on persistent, serious quality problems. Not being on this list means the facility has avoided the pattern of deficiencies that triggers enhanced federal oversight. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
