Jamaica Hospital Nursing Home runs on numbers that mostly hold up. Nurse staffing sits at 3.85 hours per resident day, essentially level with the national average, and the weekend dip of about 15% is worth asking about, that's when families tend to visit and when coverage quietly thins out. What stands apart is the turnover: 14.5% against a national average near 46%, meaning the people caring for your relative are more likely to still be there next year. Seven deficiencies on record, one serious enough to involve harm, and a single fine under $9,000. Inspectors were last in this past February, so the picture is current.

St Josephs Home runs on 3.02 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 22% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday staffing. What offsets that thin coverage is consistency: turnover sits at 27.8% against a national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses showing up are more likely to already know the residents. The inspection record is clean where it counts, 11 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related and worth asking about directly. This nonprofit has been inspected recently, March 2026, and its quality measures score at the top of the federal scale. Ask about weekend coverage and that abuse citation.

Forest Hills Care Center runs 100 certified beds under for-profit partnership ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.45 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 9% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot: 30.8% against a national 45.8%, which suggests aides and nurses are sticking around longer than at the typical home. The inspection record shows 16 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in June 2025. Quality measures score well and inspections land mid-range; the staffing number is the piece worth watching.

Beth Abraham runs 4.13 nurse hours per resident day, about 7% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 23.2% is roughly half the national rate, that retention matters more than a single inspection cycle. The trade-off shows up in oversight: 19 deficiencies on the current record, including one abuse-related citation, though none rose to harm or jeopardy, and the last inspection was in February 2024. Weekend staffing dips about 8% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays and Sundays. A for-profit LLC with 448 beds, rated 2 out of 5 on health inspections but 5 on quality measures.

Valley View, a county-run home in Goshen with 360 beds, sits in an unusual spot. Its staffing looks solid on paper, 3.92 nurse hours per resident day, just above the national average, with a 4/5 staffing star, and turnover is genuinely low at 20.8% against a national 45.8%. But weekend staffing drops roughly 10% below its own weekday level, and the inspection record is the real story: 44 deficiencies on file, including 8 tied to abuse, with a 1/5 health inspection star despite the most recent survey in July 2025. None of those deficiencies reached harm or jeopardy level, and resident quality measures score 5/5. So you're weighing a home that keeps its staff and treats residents well by the measures, against a thick inspection history worth asking about directly.

Grandell runs 278 beds in Long Beach under corporate ownership, and its inspection record looks solid on paper, a 4-star health inspection rating and a survey completed in August 2025. The catch is in the details. Fifteen deficiencies sit on the current record, three of them abuse-related, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. Staffing tells a similar story: 3.68 nurse hours per resident day trails the national average, and weekends run about 6% thinner than weekdays. What stands out favorably is turnover at 22%, well under the 45.8% national figure, suggesting people stay. Quality measures score 5 stars. The numbers point to a home that inspects well and keeps its staff, but runs lean on daily coverage.

Teresian House runs 302 beds as a nonprofit, and its staffing sits just a hair above the national average at 3.88 nurse hours per resident day. That margin is thin, and weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday coverage, so ask how that gap gets filled. Turnover of 33.5% is notably better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The inspection record is the weaker side: a 2/5 health inspection rating, 26 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and three abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in November 2024. Quality measures scored 5/5, staffing 4/5, the day-to-day care looks stronger than the paperwork history.

Lutheran Center At Poughkeepsie runs 4.06 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average, and its 31.9% turnover is well below the 45.8% typical elsewhere, that stability matters when you're thinking about who's actually at the bedside. Weekends thin out about 9% against weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. The harder reading is the inspection record: 23 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, with the last inspection in February 2024. Quality measures look strong and staffing holds up, but you'll want to ask directly what changed since that inspection.

Mary Manning Walsh, the 362-bed nonprofit home on the Upper East Side, stacks up well against most of what's out there, and the numbers show why. Its 3.71 nurse staffing hours per resident day sit about 4 percent under the national average, and weekends run roughly 14 percent thinner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family member needs help at 7 a.m. on a Sunday. But turnover is the real story: 30.3 percent against a national average of 45.8 percent, meaning the aides and nurses who show up tend to stay. A recent September 2025 inspection left 12 deficiencies, none at the harm level, though 2 were abuse-related, which you should ask about directly.

Apex Rehabilitation & Care Center runs 195 certified beds in Huntington Station under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.69 hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average, and weekends drop about 10% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot at 31.4%, well below the national 45.8%, which suggests a steadier workforce than most. The tradeoff shows up in inspections: a 2/5 health inspection rating and 31 deficiencies on record, including four tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy. Last inspected April 2025. Quality and staffing measures look strong; the survey history is what pulls it down.

Crouse Community Center runs on a nonprofit model with 120 certified beds in Morrisville, and its staffing is the clearest strength: 4.01 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping only slightly below weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 26.4%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. The tradeoffs show up elsewhere. Inspectors cited 13 deficiencies on the current record, two tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy. State surveyors last visited in January 2025, and the health inspection and quality measure ratings both land mid-range at three stars.

Gold Crest Care Center in the Bronx runs 175 beds under corporate ownership, and its inspection record is the main story here: four out of five stars from CMS, with 11 deficiencies on file but none at the harm or jeopardy level. That last part matters more than the raw count. Staffing sits at 3.73 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and weekends drop about 11% below the home's own weekday levels, which is where thin coverage tends to show up. Turnover, though, is 36.1% against a national 45.8%, comparatively steady. Two abuse-related deficiencies are worth asking about directly.

Parker Jewish Institute runs 527 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its staffing sits at 3.81 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 15% below its own weekday coverage, which is the kind of gap families notice when a Saturday question goes unanswered. What stands out more is retention: 28.8% annual turnover against a national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stay. Inspections back that up, six deficiencies on record, none causing harm, one abuse-related, with the most recent visit in April 2025 and top marks on both health inspection and quality measures.

Cobble Hill Health Center runs 364 certified beds as a nonprofit in Brooklyn, and its strongest numbers are in care quality, where federal measures rate it at the top. Staffing is the tradeoff: 3.40 nurse hours per resident day sits about 12% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 9% lighter than weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover works in its favor at 33.8%, well below the 45.8% national figure, which suggests a steadier workforce than most. Inspections in February 2024 turned up 22 deficiencies, none causing harm or jeopardy, though three were abuse-related, worth asking about directly.

Pine Valley runs 160 beds in Spring Valley under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its staffing sits just under the national average at 3.82 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends drop about 11% below its own weekday staffing, so coverage thins when families tend to visit. Turnover is the standout: 28.4% against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay. Inspections are current as of December 2025, though the record carries 23 deficiencies, 4 tied to abuse, none at harm or jeopardy level. The health inspection rating lands at 2 out of 5 while quality measures and staffing each reach 4.

Dry Harbor runs about 3.88 nursing hours per resident per day, which puts it essentially right at the national average of 3.86, not a standout, just steady. What's more telling is staff retention: turnover sits at 28.7%, well under the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. Inspections back that up, with a 4/5 health inspection rating, 16 deficiencies on record and none rising to harm or jeopardy, though two are abuse-related and worth asking about directly. Weekend staffing dips roughly 8% below weekday levels, a common pattern but still a real gap. A 2025 inspection means the record is current.

King David Center runs 271 beds in Brooklyn under for-profit partnership ownership, and its staffing sits just barely above the national average, 3.92 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86, so don't read that number as generous. Weekend coverage drops about 11% below what the home staffs on weekdays, which is where shortfalls tend to show up. The genuinely strong figure is turnover: 22.8% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay. Inspections turned up 18 deficiencies, none at the harm level, though two were abuse-related, and the most recent visit was in late 2025.

United Hebrew runs 4.06 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average, though weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday staffing. The standout number is turnover: 18.3% against a national average near 46%, which matters because consistent caregivers know the residents. Inspections in October 2023 turned up 10 deficiencies, none at the level of actual harm, but two tied to abuse, worth asking about directly. The four- and five-star federal ratings on health inspections, quality measures, and staffing all point the same direction, and nonprofit ownership tends to mean the margin goes back into the building rather than to investors.

Ditmas Park Care Center runs on 4.63 nurse hours per resident day, about 20% above the national average, and staff turnover sits at 22.8%, roughly half the national rate. Both matter more than a single inspection day, since consistent hands on deck usually mean residents' needs get noticed. The tradeoff shows up on weekends, when coverage drops about 11% below the home's own weekday level. The record is clean where it counts. Seven deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and the last inspection was August 2024. This is a for-profit limited liability company with 200 beds, and the low turnover rate suggests workers stay, which tends to keep care steadier across shifts.

Brookhaven runs a 160-bed for-profit home in East Patchogue, and its staffing sits slightly above the national average, with a turnover rate of 29.2% that's well under the national 45.8%. That's a meaningful edge, consistent caregivers matter more than most families realize. Weekend coverage, though, drops about 13% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The current record shows 13 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus a single fine of $7,901. Inspections are recent, and the quality and staffing ratings both land at four stars, with health inspection at three.
