CareQED Analysis

Fairview is a 120-bed nursing home in Groton, Connecticut. It holds a 5-star CMS overall rating. Total nurse staffing is 4.5 hours per resident day, above the Connecticut average of 3.8. Its most recent inspection, in May 2025, cited 2 deficiencies, one of them severe.

Bottom line: The facility shows a clear strength in staffing and overall quality indicators, which suggests more hands-on attention than many peers. However, a recent inspection turned up a serious deficiency related to infection control and gaps in care planning and supervision, so it’s reasonable to ask how those issues were addressed and what changes were made to prevent recurrence.
