Park Avenue Health Center is a 89-bed nursing home in Arlington, Massachusetts. It holds a 1-star CMS overall rating. Total nurse staffing is 3.6 hours per resident day, below the Massachusetts average of 3.9. Its most recent inspection, in December 2025, cited 6 deficiencies, none of them severe.
The facility’s low overall rating combined with staffing levels below the state average and a recent inspection that found multiple deficiencies around resident rights and reporting means families should be cautious and probe how day‑to‑day care is supervised. A modest upside is that the cited problems were not classified as severe; ask the facility specifically what corrective actions they’ve taken to fix grievance/abuse reporting and to ensure resident assessments and rights are now consistently honored.
