About Nursing Home Care in Sharon
When it comes to nursing home care in SHARON, MA, families should proceed with caution. The standout is Foremost at Sharon LLC, but it carries a troubling Grade D rating, which indicates significant concerns about the quality of care. While there are no major red flags like fines or abuse citations, the overall options in Sharon are limited and not particularly reassuring. Families may want to explore neighboring cities for better choices.
Unfortunately, there are no clearly recommended facilities in Sharon. While Foremost at Sharon LLC is the only option, its Grade D rating suggests potential issues that families should be aware of.

Families should definitely skip Foremost at Sharon LLC due to its low grade, which can indicate various problems in service quality. With no other facilities to recommend in town, it’s wise to look elsewhere. As you visit any facility, make sure to ask about staff turnover and resident satisfaction to gauge the environment and care quality effectively.

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 Sharon, 0 facilities score 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 Sharon
Staffing levels are among the most important predictors of nursing home quality. Research consistently shows that facilities with more nursing staff—especially registered nurses—have better outcomes for residents.
Sharon facilities average 0.61 RN hours per resident day, which falls below the CMS-recommended threshold of 0.75 hours. The typical Sharon resident receives approximately 37 minutes of RN attention daily—compared to the 45 minutes experts recommend.
1 Sharon facilities exceed CMS staffing recommendations. Families prioritizing staffing should look for facilities with the "Top Staffing" badge and ask specifically about RN hours during facility visits.
Ownership: An All For-Profit Market
Sharon has no non-profit nursing homes—all 1 facility with reported ownership data are for-profit operations. 0 of 1 facilities are chain-owned, meaning these facilities are part of larger corporate systems rather than independently operated.
Research suggests non-profit facilities often have higher staffing levels and fewer deficiencies on average. The absence of non-profit options in Sharon may be worth noting. Families seeking non-profit care should consider facilities in surrounding areas.
Ownership type alone does not guarantee quality. Several for-profit facilities in Sharon perform well. Families should evaluate each facility individually using inspection data, staffing levels, and recent deficiency reports rather than ownership type alone.
