BROCKTON POST ACUTE CARE
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Brockton Post Acute Care has a Trust Grade of C, which means it is average-middle of the pack but not necessarily a top choice. It ranks #204 out of 338 facilities in Massachusetts, placing it in the bottom half, and #19 out of 27 in Plymouth County, indicating there are better options nearby. The facility is improving, with issues decreasing from 16 in 2024 to 7 in 2025, which is a positive sign. However, staffing is a concern here, with a poor rating of 1 out of 5 stars, but turnover is low at 0%, suggesting that staff are stable even if there are not enough of them. On the downside, specific incidents have been noted, including failure to maintain food safety standards, lack of privacy during medical treatments, and unsecured hazardous items that could pose risks to residents. Overall, while there are some strengths, families should weigh these concerns carefully.

About This Facility
What is Brockton Post Acute Care's CMS Rating?
CMS assigns BROCKTON POST ACUTE CARE an overall rating of 2 out of 5 stars, which is considered below average nationally. Within Massachusetts, this rating places the facility higher than 0% of the state's 100 nursing homes. A rating at this level reflects concerns identified through health inspections, staffing assessments, or quality measures that families should carefully consider.
How is Brockton Post Acute Care Staffed?
CMS rates BROCKTON POST ACUTE CARE's staffing level at 1 out of 5 stars, which is much below average compared to other nursing homes.
What Have Inspectors Found at Brockton Post Acute Care?
State health inspectors documented 36 deficiencies at BROCKTON POST ACUTE CARE during 2022 to 2025. These included: 31 with potential for harm and 5 minor or isolated issues.
Who Owns and Operates Brockton Post Acute Care?
BROCKTON POST ACUTE CARE is owned by a for-profit company. For-profit facilities operate as businesses with obligations to shareholders or private owners. The facility is operated by MARQUIS HEALTH SERVICES, a chain that manages multiple nursing homes. With 169 certified beds and approximately 143 residents (about 85% occupancy), it is a mid-sized facility located in BROCKTON, Massachusetts.
How Does Brockton Post Acute Care Compare to Other Massachusetts Nursing Homes?
Compared to the 100 nursing homes in Massachusetts, BROCKTON POST ACUTE CARE's overall rating (2 stars) is below the state average of 2.9 and health inspection rating (3 stars) is at the national benchmark.
What Should Families Ask When Visiting Brockton Post Acute Care?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "Can you walk me through typical staffing levels on day, evening, and night shifts?" "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?" These questions are particularly relevant given the below-average staffing rating.
Is Brockton Post Acute Care Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, BROCKTON POST ACUTE CARE 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 2-star overall rating and ranks #100 of 100 nursing homes in Massachusetts. While no facility is perfect, families should still ask about staff-to-resident ratios and recent inspection results during their visit.
Do Nurses at Brockton Post Acute Care Stick Around?
BROCKTON POST ACUTE CARE has not reported staff turnover data to CMS. Staff turnover matters because consistent caregivers learn residents' individual needs, medications, and preferences. When staff frequently change, this institutional knowledge is lost. Families should ask the facility directly about their staff retention rates and average employee tenure.
Was Brockton Post Acute Care Ever Fined?
BROCKTON POST ACUTE CARE 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 Brockton Post Acute Care on Any Federal Watch List?
BROCKTON POST ACUTE CARE 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.
