Overview

Bedford Hills Center has a Trust Grade of C, which means it is average and sits in the middle of the pack among nursing homes. It ranks #30 out of 73 facilities in New Hampshire, placing it in the top half, and #12 out of 21 in Hillsborough County, indicating that only a few local options are better. The facility is improving, having reduced its issues from 6 in 2024 to 0 in 2025, but it has had concerning fines totaling $16,452, which is higher than 79% of New Hampshire facilities. Staffing is rated average with a turnover rate of 43%, which is lower than the state average, suggesting some stability among staff. However, there are serious concerns, including a critical incident where a resident received too much insulin, requiring hospitalization, and another case where a resident was not properly informed about the risks of antipsychotic medications. While the nursing home has some strengths, such as a decent staffing turnover rate, the presence of significant medication errors raises important questions for families considering this facility.
