The Jewish Home of Rochester runs 362 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.80 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national figure of 3.86. That said, weekends dip about 13% below its own weekday coverage, so the care your family member gets on a Saturday won't match a Tuesday. Staff turnover is 32.8%, well under the national 45.8%, which means aides and nurses tend to stick around. On inspections, seven deficiencies appear on the current record, three tied to abuse and none reaching harm or jeopardy level. The most recent inspection closed in December 2025, so the picture is current.

The numbers that stand out at Maplewood are on the staffing side: 6.07 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 57% above the national average of 3.86. That's a lot of hands on deck, and it shows in the weekend data too, weekend coverage dips about 9% below weekdays, but from a high baseline, so it never falls to the thin levels common elsewhere. Turnover sits at 42.9%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. Trustees can look at the inspection record with some confidence: eight deficiencies on file, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and the most recent survey was May 2025. The corporation running it has kept the place clean on paper.

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.

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.

St. Ann's Community runs a tight ship on staffing. At 4.18 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 8% above the national average, and weekend coverage dips only modestly below weekdays. Turnover lands at 37.5%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters because stable staff tend to know residents' routines. The home's 11 deficiencies include two abuse-related citations, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and its last inspection was recent. As a nonprofit, it isn't answering to shareholders. The numbers point to steady care rather than crisis management, worth weighing against those two abuse citations when you visit.

St. Ann's Community runs 470 beds in Rochester, and the staffing picture is solid: 3.98 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, with turnover at 38.9% against a national 45.8%, keeping more of your caregivers matters, and this home does better than most. Weekends dip about 10% below weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family visits then. The record isn't clean: 13 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two abuse-related, plus $55,495 in fines across two events. A 4/5 on health inspections from April 2024 suggests those issues aren't the whole story, but read the abuse citations yourself before deciding.

The Highlands At Brighton runs on a nonprofit model with 145 certified beds, and staffing is where it stands out: 5.15 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average of 3.86. That extra coverage isn't evenly spread, though, weekends run about 16% leaner than weekdays, and annual turnover sits at 47.3%, slightly above the national 45.8%, so the faces change fairly often. The current inspection record shows 25 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but three tied to abuse. Inspectors were last in on August 13, 2025, and the home scored 3 out of 5 on both health inspections and quality measures, with a 4 on staffing.

Aaron Manor runs about 3.63 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 6% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 15% below its own weekday level, so the hours thin out exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 58.5% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff left within a year. The good news is real: a 4-star health inspection rating, a 5-star quality measure rating, and 14 deficiencies on record with none at the harm level and nothing abuse-related, last inspected in October 2024. For-profit LLC ownership with 140 beds. Solid care quality on paper, but the staffing pattern is where I'd focus your questions.

St. John's runs 4.24 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, and its staffing and quality-measure ratings both come in at 4 out of 5. That's the good part. The health inspection record is where it falls apart: a 1 out of 5, with 30 deficiencies on file, three of them at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. Two fines totaling $141,034 sit on the record, and the most recent inspection was June 9, 2025. Staff turnover is 46.8%, essentially the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 10% below weekday levels, so the hours look strong on paper, but consistency and safety are the real questions here.

Wedgewood runs 29 beds in Spencerport, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.74 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average of 3.86. That gap looks small, but weekends here drop roughly 14% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts are the ones families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 48.5%, above the national 45.8%, meaning nearly half the nursing team turns over in a year. The health inspection record carries 13 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in March 2024. Quality measures score well; the inspection side is where the record is weakest.

The Pearl Nursing Center of Rochester runs on 3.04 nurse staffing hours per resident day, about a fifth below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 11 percent below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 51.5 percent against a 45.8 percent national figure, which means more than half the nursing staff turns over annually. Its record shows 40 deficiencies, including two tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in June 2024; the low inspection and staffing ratings reflect that history, even though the quality measure rating is strong.

Fairport Rehabilitation and Nursing Center runs 196 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing. At 3.64 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 6% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 9% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 66.2% is well above the 45.8% national figure, which means caregivers cycle through quickly. The current inspection record shows 27 deficiencies, four of them abuse-related, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. Inspectors were last in on May 13, 2025. Its quality measure score is strong; the staffing and inspection scores are not.

Monroe Community Hospital is a county-run home with 566 beds, and its numbers tell two different stories. The clinical quality measures look good, four stars there, but the inspection record is where things fall apart: 11 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, and two tied to abuse. Fines total nearly $95,000. Staffing sits just barely above the national average, and weekends run about 17% thinner than weekdays, which matters when you're thinking about who's actually on the floor on a Saturday. Turnover, at 45.3%, is roughly in line with the national rate. The last full inspection was in December 2024.

Kirkhaven is a 147-bed nonprofit home in Rochester, and the staffing numbers are the first thing I'd want you to see. CMS gives it one star for staffing and one star for health inspections, which tells you the day-to-day coverage and the survey record have both been weak. The current inspection history lists 30 deficiencies, including three tied to abuse and one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy. That's a lot of findings for a single building, and the last full inspection was in December 2024, so this isn't stale history. Fines total $8,278, a modest figure that suggests regulators cited problems without stacking major penalties. The quality measure score sits at three stars, but strong resident outcomes don't mean much if there aren't enough hands on the floor and the survey record keeps flagging safety.

Lilac Manor runs 200 certified beds in Rochester under individual for-profit ownership, and its staffing picture is thinner than most: 3.49 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends about 15% below its own weekday level. That gap matters because staff turnover sits at 70%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people covering those thinner weekend shifts are often new. The current inspection record shows 37 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, though none at the harm or jeopardy level; the last full inspection was June 2024. CMS rates its health inspection results at 1 out of 5 stars, which is where the trouble concentrates, not in the quality measures.

The Brook at High Falls runs 28 certified beds in Rochester under individual for-profit ownership, and its staffing tells a complicated story. Total nurse coverage sits at 3.81 hours per resident day, just under the national average, but weekends drop about 9% below its own weekday numbers, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The bigger flag is turnover: 76.2% annually against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents this year likely won't be there next year. Its last inspection was January 2026, with 24 deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related. Quality measures score well above its inspection and staffing marks.

Highlands Living Center is a 122-bed nonprofit in Pittsford, and its staffing sits about 8% under the national average at 3.55 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends run roughly 15% thinner than weekdays, so coverage depends on when you visit. Annual turnover of 60.3% is well above the 45.8% norm, meaning the people caring for residents change often. The current record shows 19 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. State inspectors were last in on February 19, 2025, and all three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, landed at 2 out of 5. Ask about weekend coverage and how they screen and supervise staff.

Crest Manor runs on thin staffing: 3.44 nurse hours per resident day, about 11% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekdays. That's the number families feel when a call light goes unanswered. Turnover is the bigger warning sign. At 76.9%, more than three-quarters of the nursing staff left within a year, well above the 45.8% national rate. Combine that churn with a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating and 35 deficiencies on record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, and the pattern is consistent. A single $41,360 fine and an inspection dated October 2024 complete the picture. The quality measure score of 4 out of 5 stands out against everything else, but those measures reflect a narrow slice of care. For-profit, limited liability ownership.

Blossom Health Care Center runs on 3.42 nursing hours per resident day, about 11% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 21% below what the home staffs on weekdays. That thin coverage shows up in the numbers: 67.9% annual turnover, well above the 45.8% national rate, so the aides and nurses at the bedside keep changing. Inspectors cited 36 deficiencies on the current record, four tied to abuse, though none rose to actual harm or jeopardy. The last visit was October 2024. With 80 beds and corporate for-profit ownership, this is a home where you should ask directly how they cover weekends and how long their current staff have actually been there.
