Andrus On Hudson

Staff turnover

Andrus On Hudson sits in Hastings On Hudson with 197 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership. The staffing story is mixed: 3.42 nurse hours per resident day runs about 11% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 8% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. What stands out is retention: 25.4% annual turnover against a national 45.8% means aides and nurses largely stay, which matters for familiarity and consistency of care. On inspections, 17 deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related finding, last surveyed March 2023. Quality measures score well. The trade-off is real: steady staff, thinner hours.

Nottingham R H C F runs a tight ship on the clinical side. The forty-bed nonprofit in Jamesville has a clean inspection record, eight deficiencies on the books, none of them causing harm or involving abuse, and its most recent state visit was just this past September. Nurse staffing sits at 3.85 hours per resident day, essentially level with the national average, though weekends run about 11 percent thinner than weekdays, so ask how that gap gets covered. Staff turnover of 34.2 percent is meaningfully better than the 45.8 percent national figure, which matters for whether your parent sees the same faces. Small homes live or die on consistency, and the numbers here suggest this one mostly has it.

Nurse staffing sits at 3.56 hours per resident day, about 8% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 13% below the home's own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot: 26.9% against a national 45.8%, which suggests aides and nurses are staying. The inspection record is the caution flag: 39 deficiencies on file, six tied to abuse, and the most recent visit was August 2025. None of those deficiencies rose to harm or jeopardy, but 39 is a lot to carry.
