Mount Sinai South Nassau T C U runs a small 20-bed unit inside a nonprofit hospital system, and the numbers back up the setup. Nurse staffing sits at 6.14 hours per resident per day, roughly 59% above the national average of 3.86, though weekends drop about 25% below the home's own weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 40.7%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, and the inspection record is clean where it counts: five deficiencies total, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in December 2025.

Wayne Health Care runs 182 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its numbers tell a fairly steady story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.70 hours per resident day, roughly 4% under the national average, and weekends drop about 16% below what the home staffs on weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits mostly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 36.5%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around longer than elsewhere. Inspectors found six deficiencies on the current record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, with no abuse citations. The last inspection was September 13, 2024, so the record is reasonably current.

St Catherine Laboure runs on 4.30 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average, and its staff tends to stay, 33% turnover against a national 45.8%. The tradeoff shows up on weekends, when coverage drops about 17% below the home's own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on the floor. State inspectors visited in February 2026 and logged eight deficiencies, none causing harm or jeopardy, though three were abuse-related, worth asking about directly, since those can reflect reporting and screening issues rather than incidents. Church-affiliated and nonprofit, 80 beds. Strong inspection and staffing marks, with a few specific questions worth raising.

Syracuse Home Association in Baldwinsville runs on a nonprofit model with 120 certified beds, and the staffing numbers tell a steady story: 4.51 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17 percent above the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 20 percent below its own weekday level, worth asking about if your family visits primarily on Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 32.3 percent against a national average of 45.8 percent, which suggests people tend to stay. The current inspection record shows eight deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey completed January 27, 2026.

Bethel Nursing Home Company in Ossining is a small nonprofit, 43 certified beds, and the numbers tell a story with real strengths and real caveats. Nurse staffing runs about 3.53 hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average, though its 25% annual turnover is well below the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether you see the same faces week to week. The inspection record is the weak spot: 22 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, and a two-star health inspection rating, though none reached harm or jeopardy level and the most recent inspection was in March 2025. Ask specifically about those abuse-related citations and how weekend coverage holds up.

Ideal Senior Living Center runs on 4.55 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18% more than the national average, though weekend coverage dips about 14% below its own weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 30.2%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents' routines. The inspection record shows 8 deficiencies with none at the harm level and none abuse-related, plus one fine of $28,140; the most recent inspection was in February 2026, so the picture is current. As a nonprofit, it answers to a board rather than shareholders.

Queen of Peace Residence in Queens Village runs on a non-profit model with 53 certified beds, and its staffing is the standout: 7.17 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 86% above the national average. That's an unusual number, and it shows up in the staffing star rating. Weekend coverage dips about 5% below weekday levels, which is modest. Staff turnover sits at 28.6% against a national average near 46%, so people tend to stay. The record shows 8 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in late 2025. Quality measure scores run lower, at 2 stars, which is worth asking about directly.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Edna Tina Wilson Living Center is a 120-bed nonprofit in Rochester, and its inspection record is the strongest thing about it: five deficiencies on file, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, and its most recent inspection was in April 2025. Nurse staffing sits at 3.87 hours per resident day, essentially identical to the national average of 3.86, though weekends run about 13 percent thinner than weekdays, a dip worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 37.1 percent against a national average of 45.8 percent, which suggests people tend to stay. On the federal star ratings, inspections and quality measures both come in at the top.

The Church Home in Rochester runs on more nursing hours than most places, 4.23 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and its staff tends to stay, with turnover at 38.8% versus 45.8% nationally. Both matter, because consistent caregivers know the residents. Weekend coverage does dip about 9% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. Inspectors cited 12 deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm level, but three tied to abuse, which is worth asking about directly. The last inspection was in January 2024, so the record is reasonably current. As a nonprofit, it answers to a board rather than shareholders.

McAuley Residence is a nonprofit home in Kenmore with 160 certified beds, and the numbers that matter most here are strong. Nurse staffing runs 4.27 hours per resident day, about 11% above the national average, and its most recent inspection, in January 2025, came back clean enough to earn top marks on health inspections and quality measures alike. Two things are worth watching. Turnover sits at 50.5%, above the national 45.8%, and weekends run roughly 8% thinner than weekdays, so care can shift depending on when you visit. The eight deficiencies on record include three tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy.

The Friendly Home runs 4.34 nurse staffing hours per resident day, about 12 percent above the national average, and weekend coverage dips roughly 14 percent below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover sits right at the national figure, 45.4 percent against 45.8. On its current record are 18 deficiencies, none flagged at the harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related, worth asking about directly. Its last inspection came in December 2025, so the picture is recent. Quality measure scores are strong; health inspection scores are middling. This is a nonprofit with 200 beds that invests in staffing and generally delivers, but the abuse citations and weekend drop-off are the two things I'd want answered before deciding.

Unity Living Center runs on 120 certified beds in Rochester under nonprofit ownership, and its staffing numbers are genuinely better than most: 4.08 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with a 29.4% turnover rate that sits well under the 45.8% national figure. But weekends run about 10% leaner than weekdays, so care can thin out when families visit. The bigger issue is inspections, a 2/5 health inspection rating, 11 deficiencies with one at the harm level, and a $12,868 fine, all from a survey completed in July 2024. Strong quality scores and staffing don't erase a recent citation that put a resident in jeopardy.
