Wilkinson Residential Health Care Facility

CMS 3/5160 bedsNon-profitMedicaid
Nurse hours
3.83 /day
Staff turnover
39%
Serious cites
0

Wilkinson runs 160 beds as a nonprofit, and its staffing sits just under the national average, 3.83 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86. That gap is small, but weekends drop about 22% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the difference between a Tuesday and a Sunday is bigger than the yearly figure suggests. Turnover at 39.3% is better than the 45.8% national rate, which matters for consistency of care. Inspections in May 2025 turned up 20 deficiencies, none at the harm level, though two were abuse-related. The health inspection rating is 3 out of 5, quality measures 4, staffing 3.

Capstone Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing runs 120 beds in Amsterdam under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nursing hours come in at 3.17 per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage drops about 22% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Annual turnover sits at 52.5%, well above the 45.8% national figure, and the current record carries 30 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, plus a $47,879 fine. The last inspection was December 10, 2024. That combination, low hours, weekend dips, high turnover, and a serious deficiency history, is what drives the middling grade.

River Ridge Living Center

River Ridge runs leaner than most. At 3.12 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 19% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 13% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 67.9% against a national 45.8%, meaning roughly two of every three caregivers left within the year. The inspection history is the harder read: 37 deficiencies on the current record, four tied to abuse, and a one-star health inspection rating, though none of those deficiencies rose to harm or jeopardy level. A single $3,387 fine is on file, and the last inspection was March 2025.
