About Nursing Home Care in Brockton
When it comes to nursing home care in Brockton, MA, the options are limited, and families need to be discerning. The standout is Alliance Health at West Acres, which boasts a solid Grade B and a 4-star CMS rating. Overall, Brockton's nursing homes average about 2.8 stars, which is about average for Massachusetts, but only three out of five facilities meet our standards. This is a concerning market, so make sure to do your homework.
Families should consider visiting Alliance Health at West Acres for its commendable staffing and care levels. Additionally, Life Care Center of West Bridgewater also has a good reputation, particularly for its zero fines in the last three years. However, be cautious as the choices are limited, and if you're not satisfied, it may be worth exploring options in nearby cities like West Bridgewater or Abington.
On the flip side, skip The Guardian Center entirely, as it has a troubling Grade F rating and serious care issues. Such a grade indicates significant deficiencies that could compromise the well-being of residents. Always remember to visit facilities unannounced to get an authentic feel for the environment and care provided.

Understanding Our Trust Score System
The Trust Score is a 0-100 rating calculated from CMS's official nursing home database. The score combines five data categories:
- Health Inspection Results — Recent deficiencies, their severity, and patterns over time
- Staffing Levels — RN hours, total nursing hours, and weekend staffing
- Quality Measures — Clinical outcomes like falls, pressure ulcers, and rehospitalizations
- Penalties — Fines, payment denials, and enforcement actions
- Complaints — Substantiated complaints and their severity
In Brockton, 1 facility scores a B grade or better, indicating they meet quality benchmarks across these categories. We recommend families prioritize these facilities and carefully research any facility rated C or below before visiting.
Staffing: A Significant Concern in Brockton

Brockton facilities average 0.58 RN hours per resident day, which falls below the CMS-recommended threshold of 0.75 hours. The typical Brockton resident receives approximately 35 minutes of RN attention daily—compared to the 45 minutes experts recommend.

Brockton has 2 non-profit nursing homes and 3 for-profit facilities. 4 of 5 facilities are chain-owned, with the remainder independently operated.
