About Nursing Home Care in New Milford
New Milford is not an ideal market for nursing home care. Families looking for options in this area will find a limited selection, with only one facility available that does not fully meet our standards. The standout is CareOne at New Milford, which holds a current average rating of about 3.0 stars. While there are no major red flags, the overall quality and staffing levels raise some concerns, making it essential for families to consider nearby cities for better options.
In terms of facilities worth visiting, CareOne at New Milford is the only choice, but it’s important to note that it lacks a strong track record, with no facilities demonstrating high quality care like zero fines or a five-star rating from CMS. Since there are no well-staffed or nonprofit options in New Milford, families should explore neighboring towns such as Palisades Park and Hackensack for more favorable choices.
While there are no specific facilities to outright avoid in New Milford, the absence of strong options means families should remain vigilant. It’s advisable to skip CareOne at New Milford if you’re seeking a facility with a proven track record of staffing and quality care. When visiting any nursing home, ensure you ask specific questions about staff-to-resident ratios and inspect the cleanliness of the environment, as these factors are critical in gauging the quality of care.

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 New Milford, 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 New Milford

New Milford facilities average 0.49 RN hours per resident day, which falls below the CMS-recommended threshold of 0.75 hours. The typical New Milford resident receives approximately 29 minutes of RN attention daily—compared to the 45 minutes experts recommend.
0 New Milford 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
New Milford has no non-profit nursing homes—all 1 facility with reported ownership data are for-profit operations. 1 of 1 facility is chain-owned, meaning these facilities are part of larger corporate systems rather than independently operated.
