How independently owned homes in Nassau County, New York compare
This group set against every nursing home in Nassau County, New York, from the current CMS release.
Northwell Health Stern Family Center in Manhasset runs on a nonprofit model with 256 certified beds, and the numbers tell a fairly steady story. Nurse staffing sits at 4.99 hours per resident day, roughly 29% above the national average of 3.86, though weekend coverage dips about 7% below weekday levels. Staff turnover comes in at 31.6%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The inspection record shows 14 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey from February 2025. Federal ratings land at 3 out of 5 for health inspections but 5 out of 5 on both quality measures and staffing. The weak spot is inspection history, not daily care.
Staffing is where Orzac stands apart: 5.95 nurse hours per resident day, roughly half again the national average, and a 29.9% turnover rate that's well below the typical 45.8%. Families usually notice that as more consistent hands on the floor. Weekend coverage dips about 8% from weekday levels, which is worth asking about if you visit Saturdays.
The caution is inspections. Eleven deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus a $41,575 fine, with the most recent inspection in May 2025. Strong care hours and a weaker regulatory history can both be true at once.
Mount Sinai South Nassau T C U runs a small 20-bed unit inside a nonprofit hospital system, and the numbers back up the setup. Nurse staffing sits at 6.14 hours per resident per day, roughly 59% above the national average of 3.86, though weekends drop about 25% below the home's own weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 40.7%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, and the inspection record is clean where it counts: five deficiencies total, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in December 2025.
Grandell runs 278 beds in Long Beach under corporate ownership, and its inspection record looks solid on paper, a 4-star health inspection rating and a survey completed in August 2025. The catch is in the details. Fifteen deficiencies sit on the current record, three of them abuse-related, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. Staffing tells a similar story: 3.68 nurse hours per resident day trails the national average, and weekends run about 6% thinner than weekdays. What stands out favorably is turnover at 22%, well under the 45.8% national figure, suggesting people stay. Quality measures score 5 stars. The numbers point to a home that inspects well and keeps its staff, but runs lean on daily coverage.
Oceanside Care Center runs 100 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its strongest number is staff retention: 24.4% annual turnover against a national average of 45.8% means aides and nurses here tend to stay, which matters for residents who need consistent hands. The weaker spot is raw coverage, 3.69 nurse hours per resident day sits about 4% under the national figure of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 15% below the home's own weekday staffing. The inspection record shows 18 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, one tied to abuse, with the most recent survey dated January 5, 2026.
Sands Point runs 180 beds in Port Washington under for-profit partnership ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.83 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 15% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The turnover picture is genuinely better than most: 26.1% against a national 45.8%, meaning caregivers are more likely to stick around. On inspections, 16 deficiencies are on record with none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. The last inspection was March 2026. Quality measures score 5/5, staffing and inspections both 3/5, a home that's steady on care outcomes but merely average on the floor and in survey history.
Daleview Care Center is a 142-bed for-profit home in East Farmingdale, and its numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing runs about 3.64 hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average, with weekends around 10% thinner than weekdays, a gap that matters when families visit and needs don't pause. Turnover sits at 33.1%, notably better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who are there tend to stay. The current record shows 22 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was in early 2025. Strong quality measures and a middling inspection history sit alongside thin staffing.
Central Island Healthcare runs 202 beds in Plainview under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.63 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 7% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot: 26.8% against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay. Inspections in June 2025 turned up 18 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two were abuse-related. Resident outcome measures score well; the inspection record is more mixed.
Meadowbrook runs lean on nurse hours, 3.70 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday pace, so a Saturday shift isn't staffed like a Tuesday. What stands out is retention: 22.1% turnover against a national 45.8% means the aides and nurses here tend to stay, which matters more for daily care than a slightly low staffing number. The inspection record is quiet on serious harm: 14 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related. A July 2024 inspection is recent enough to trust, and the 280-bed for-profit home earns strong marks on quality measures.
Park Avenue Extended Care runs 240 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and its staffing is the number that stands out first: 3.32 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly 14 percent below. Weekends dip about 5 percent under the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts are the ones families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 44.6 percent, essentially level with the 45.8 percent national figure, meaning this is a stable-by-industry-standards workforce rather than a churning one. Inspections landed at 2 of 5 stars with 19 deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, while the quality measure score came in at 5 of 5, and the most recent inspection was November 4, 2024.
Townhouse Center runs lean on nurse staffing, 3.37 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends roughly 8% thinner than weekdays. That gap is what pulls its staffing rating down, even though the people who do work here tend to stay: turnover sits at 22.9%, about half the national rate, which suggests a stable crew spread across a fairly heavy 280-bed census. The January 2025 inspection turned up 13 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related and worth asking about directly. Quality measures look stronger than the day-to-day coverage picture, and with individual for-profit ownership, you'll want to ask how staffing hours actually land on evenings and weekends.
Beach Terrace runs 2.97 nurse staffing hours per resident day, about a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 14% under its own weekday level, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 19.3% against a national 45.8% means aides and nurses largely stay, which matters for consistency of care. The inspection record shows 17 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related and worth asking about directly. State surveyors were last in on January 28, 2026, so the picture is current. For-profit corporate ownership, 182 beds.
Woodbury Heights is a 606-bed for-profit home in Nassau County, and the numbers families should weigh most are the inspection ones. Its current record carries 46 deficiencies, including four at the harm or immediate jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, and it's been fined twice, totaling $280,271. Nurse staffing sits at 3.49 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, with weekends running about 5% lighter than weekdays. Turnover, at 44.7%, is essentially average. The quality measure score looks strong, but that's self-reported data, and it doesn't offset a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating from the most recent survey in October 2024.
White Oaks runs 200 beds in Woodbury under for-profit partnership ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.73 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 3% under the national average, with weekends dipping about 6% below its own weekdays. That thin weekend coverage matters more than the headline number. The record shows 24 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus a single fine of $8,278; the most recent inspection was September 8, 2025. What stands out in the other direction is turnover: 22.4% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning far fewer workers are cycling through here than is typical.
A Holly Patterson Extended Care is a 589-bed state-run home in Uniondale, and its numbers pull in different directions. Staff turnover sits at 15.7%, well below the 45.8% national average, yet total nurse staffing is 2.79 hours per resident day, roughly 28% under the national figure of 3.86, and weekends run about 14% leaner than weekdays. That gap matters more than the retention number, because steady staff who aren't there in enough numbers still can't cover the floor. The inspection record is the harder problem: 21 deficiencies, six at harm or jeopardy level and four abuse-related, with three fines totaling $141,265. New York State owns it, so there's no corporate chain to blame or petition, the accountability runs to Albany.
Hempstead Park runs 251 certified beds under individual for-profit ownership, and its staffing is the first thing that stands out: 3.11 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 20% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 11% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is genuinely better than average at 28.9% against 45.8% nationally, so the people who stay seem to stay. The concern is the record itself, 30 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, plus a $15,445 fine, with the most recent inspection in August 2025. Quality measures score well; the staffing and inspection sides don't.
