Nys Veterans Home In Nyc

Staff turnover

The state-run veterans home in Jamaica runs nurse staffing at 4.33 hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 32.6% sits well below the national 45.8%. Weekend coverage, though, drops about 18% below its own weekday level, so care can thin out on Saturdays and Sundays. Ten deficiencies appear on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related. The last inspection was May 2024. State ownership often means steadier funding and lower turnover than the for-profit average, which the numbers here bear out.

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.

Margaret Tietz Center runs about 3.42 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 7% below its own weekday level. So the day-to-day coverage is thinner than average, and thinnest when families tend to visit. What stands out instead is turnover: 29.5% against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay. Inspections back that up, a five-star health inspection rating, five deficiencies on record with one at the harm level, no abuse citations, and a single $8,512 fine, with the last survey in September 2025.

Silvercrest runs a tight ship on staffing: 3.93 nurse hours per resident day, just above the national average, and weekend coverage dips only about 6% below weekdays. The standout number is turnover, 19.3% against a national average near 46%. That kind of retention usually means consistent caregivers who know the residents. Then there's the inspection record. Sixteen deficiencies, one at the harm level, one abuse-related, and a $24,850 fine. The last inspection was December 2024, so the record is current, not stale. A nonprofit with 320 beds holding a 4/5 on quality measures and a 2/5 on health inspections is a mixed picture: the day-to-day care metrics look solid, but the survey history is where a family should ask questions.

Highland Care Center runs about 3 hours of nursing care per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops another 13% below its own weekday levels. That thin staffing is the main weak spot, and it's what drives the below-average staffing rating despite turnover of 25.9% actually beating the national 45.8%, a sign this corporation holds onto its workers better than most. The tradeoff shows up elsewhere: 19 deficiencies on record with none at harm or jeopardy level, though 2 are abuse-related, and a February 2024 inspection that's now well over a year old. Inspections and quality measures both rate well; daily hands on the floor are where the gaps are.

Chapin Home For The Aging runs a tight ship on inspections, a clean five-star record with just ten deficiencies on file, none of them serious enough to cause harm and none tied to abuse. The last state visit was in September 2024, so the paperwork is current. Where it slips is daily care coverage: 3.19 nurse hours per resident, roughly 17% under the national average, and weekends run about 9% thinner than weekdays. For a 220-bed nonprofit in Queens, the pattern is familiar, solid oversight, thinner hands-on time, especially Saturdays and Sundays.
