St. Margarets Center runs on unusually heavy nursing hours, 8.30 per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, roughly double. Weekends dip only about 7% from weekday levels, so coverage stays fairly steady. Staff turnover sits at 38.4%, better than the 45.8% national figure but not low in absolute terms. The inspection record is the softer spot: 15 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection came in February 2025. Quality measures score 5/5; inspections 3/5. Nonprofit ownership under a corporation. The staffing and quality numbers carry this home; the survey history is what a family should read closely.

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.

St. Peters runs on a nonprofit model with 160 certified beds, and staffing sits at 4.33 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average. That's a real cushion, though it thins out on weekends, when coverage drops about 9% below the home's own weekday level. The inspection record shows 18 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but one is abuse-related, and the last full inspection was in November 2022. Staff turnover lands at 49.3%, a few points above the national 45.8%. The four-star inspection and staffing ratings reflect a home that's generally well-run, but that abuse citation and the dated inspection are worth asking about directly.

Daughters of Sarah, a nonprofit home in Albany with 210 beds, runs on 3.50 nurse staffing hours per resident day, about 9% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 10% below its own weekday numbers, so a Saturday shift isn't the same as a Tuesday one. That thinner coverage is the main thing keeping its staffing rating at 3 stars, not the care record. Inspections come in at 4 stars with 13 deficiencies on file, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related; the last full look was September 2024. Staff turnover sits at 42.3%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, which helps explain why the quality measures also land at 4 stars. Nonprofit ownership usually means steadier priorities than a chain.

Shaker Place is a county-owned home in Albany with 250 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits just below the national average, 3.83 hours per resident day against 3.86. That gap is small on paper, but weekends run about 19 percent lighter than weekdays, which is when families tend to visit and notice. The current inspection record shows 19 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though seven are abuse-related, a category worth asking about directly. Its last full inspection was in October 2023. County ownership can mean steadier funding and public accountability, but it also means budget cycles and politics shape staffing decisions rather than a single operator's priorities.

Hudson Park runs on 2.85 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekends drop about 15% below what the building already staffs on weekdays. That thin coverage sits behind a 59.3% annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses at the bedside keep changing. Inspectors cited 40 deficiencies, including five tied to abuse, and the last visit was June 2024; CMS gives the home one star each for health inspections and quality measures. For-profit, limited liability ownership rounds out the picture.
