Bellhaven runs 240 certified beds in Brookhaven, and the numbers pull in different directions. Nurse staffing sits at 3.23 hours per resident day, roughly 16 percent under the national average, with weekends running about 13 percent thinner than weekdays, a pattern that matters when families visit on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is the harder read: 17 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse, and a one-star health inspection rating, though staff turnover at 38 percent actually beats the national 45.8 percent. Ownership is for-profit partnership. Quality measures rate five stars, but that's self-reported data, and the last inspection was August 2024.
Smithtown Center runs 162 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing is the weak spot: 3.51 nurse hours per resident day sits about 9% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday levels. The federal staffing rating reflects that, one star out of five. Turnover lands at 34.7%, which is better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who stay tend to stay. On inspections, the record shows 17 deficiencies with nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and no abuse citations, and the most recent survey was April 2025. Quality measures score well. The shortfall here is coverage, not conduct, especially on Saturdays and Sundays, when your family member is most likely to need someone nearby.
Acadia Center has 181 beds and runs on a for-profit corporate model, and the numbers say the care is decent but the staffing is thin. Total nurse time comes in at 4.16 hours per resident day, about 8% above the national average, but weekends drop roughly 9% below weekdays, and annual turnover hits 49.6%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is genuinely clean: 10 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, no abuse citations, and the last visit was September 2024. So the building itself isn't the problem. Keeping consistent nurses on the floor is.
Swan Lake's staffing looks fine on paper, 3.88 nurse hours per resident day, basically level with the national average, but the details underneath tell a different story. Weekend coverage drops about 12% below what the home staffs on weekdays, and 47.3% of nurses leave each year, a bit worse than the 45.8% national rate. The inspection record is the real concern: 15 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, with the most recent survey in October 2025. That combination explains why CMS gives it one star each for health inspections and staffing even though its quality measures score well.
The Hamlet runs 3.39 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average, and weekends dip about 15% below its own weekday levels, that thin weekend coverage matters most when families visit and when problems are likeliest to surface. Staff turnover is 31%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who are there tend to stay. But the record shows 13 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus $92,770 in fines across two penalties. Inspectors were last in on February 20, 2025. Quality measures score well, but staffing and the harm-level findings are what pull the overall picture down to a middling grade.
Quantum Rehabilitation and Nursing in Middle Island runs a 120-bed for-profit operation, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Its last inspection in February came back clean on the serious stuff, six deficiencies total, none involving harm or abuse, which is why the inspection rating sits at four stars. Staffing is where the cracks show: 3.93 nurse hours per resident day edges out the national average by a hair, but weekends drop roughly 16% below weekdays, and nearly half the staff turns over each year, slightly worse than the 45.8% national figure. You're looking at a home that inspects well but asks a lot of a workforce that doesn't stay long.
Sunrise Manor runs about 3.06 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekends dip even further below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up in the staffing rating it received from CMS, which sits at the bottom of the scale, even though its quality measure score looks strong on paper. The inspection record is more troubling than the quality score suggests: 13 deficiencies on file, including one involving actual harm or jeopardy and one tied to abuse, with the most recent survey completed in April 2025. Corporate for-profit ownership, 84 beds, and a recent inspection mean the paperwork is current, but current doesn't mean clean here.
San Simeon By The Sound sits in Greenport, and its numbers tell a split story. The quality measures look decent at 4 out of 5 stars, but that's where the good news mostly stops: nurse staffing runs 3.46 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, and weekends dip another 6% below its own weekday levels. Turnover hits 61.5% against a national 45.8%, which means the people caring for residents are constantly changing.
The inspection record is the real concern. Sixteen deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse, and $140,843 in fines across four penalties. Its last inspection was September 2024. For-profit corporate ownership. Ask about direct-care staffing on weekends and how they handle the abuse-related findings before you decide.
Medford Multicare Center for Living runs 320 beds under corporate ownership, and its numbers pull in opposite directions. Nurse staffing sits at 3.91 hours per resident day, barely above the national average, but weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday levels, and CMS rates staffing just 1 out of 5. Turnover is 36.2%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who stay tend to stay. What weighs heaviest is the inspection record: 31 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse, with a $134,713 fine and a February 2025 inspection. Quality measures score well, but that's self-reported data. The state's findings are the ones worth trusting here.
Nurse staffing at The Hamptons Center runs 2.93 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly a quarter less hands-on time than the typical home. Weekends are thinner still, about 8% below the home's own weekday level, and a 37.4% annual turnover rate, though better than the national 45.8%, means a lot of the people providing that care are new to the building. The state inspection record is where the real trouble sits: 23 deficiencies, three serious enough to put residents in harm's way, five tied to abuse, and a $150,990 fine. A 5/5 on quality measures doesn't offset a 1/5 on inspections.
Waters Edge runs on 2.95 nursing hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops about 8% below what it manages on weekdays. That thin staffing shows up against a 55.6% annual turnover rate, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. Its current record carries 23 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a $153,911 fine. The quality measure score is high, but inspectors last visited in August 2025 and rated the health inspection side 1 out of 5. For a family weighing this one, the staffing and inspection numbers are the ones to sit with.
Affinity Skilled Living runs 280 beds in Oakdale under for-profit LLC ownership, and its record is genuinely mixed. The health inspection side is the weak spot: 29 deficiencies on file, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with an $82,500 fine and a one-out-of-five inspection rating. Staffing sits at 3.73 nurse hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and weekends run about 12 percent below weekdays, though turnover at 32.1 percent is better than the 45.8 percent norm. Resident outcome measures look strong on paper. Read the inspection history carefully before deciding.
