Massachusetts inspects every assisted living residence at least once every two years. At its most recent compliance review on June 18, 2024, the state cited 3 findings at Harbor Point at Centerville. 2 of them had already been cited at the previous review. Across the 145 Massachusetts residences with a published report, the median is 6.
This page covers one review, not a history, and it is not a score or a ranking. A finding means the state identified something the residence has to correct; it does not on its own mean a resident was harmed. The state does not publish what happened after this review, so a finding listed here may since have been fixed.
