Hollis Park Manor is an 80-bed for-profit home in Queens, and the numbers behind its record are steady across the board. Nurse staffing runs 3.93 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and weekend coverage dips about 10% from its own weekday level, worth asking about if your visits land on Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 27.9%, well below the national 45.8%, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents' routines. Its last inspection was May 2025, with 10 deficiencies on record and none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related and worth asking about directly.

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.

Forest Hills Care Center runs 100 certified beds under for-profit partnership ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.45 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 9% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot: 30.8% against a national 45.8%, which suggests aides and nurses are sticking around longer than at the typical home. The inspection record shows 16 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in June 2025. Quality measures score well and inspections land mid-range; the staffing number is the piece worth watching.

Parker Jewish Institute runs 527 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its staffing sits at 3.81 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 15% below its own weekday coverage, which is the kind of gap families notice when a Saturday question goes unanswered. What stands out more is retention: 28.8% annual turnover against a national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stay. Inspections back that up, six deficiencies on record, none causing harm, one abuse-related, with the most recent visit in April 2025 and top marks on both health inspection and quality measures.

Dry Harbor runs about 3.88 nursing hours per resident per day, which puts it essentially right at the national average of 3.86, not a standout, just steady. What's more telling is staff retention: turnover sits at 28.7%, well under the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. Inspections back that up, with a 4/5 health inspection rating, 16 deficiencies on record and none rising to harm or jeopardy, though two are abuse-related and worth asking about directly. Weekend staffing dips roughly 8% below weekday levels, a common pattern but still a real gap. A 2025 inspection means the record is current.

Beacon Rehabilitation And Nursing Center runs 120 beds in Far Rockaway under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.29 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday numbers, a gap families often feel because that's when visits happen. What stands out in the other direction is turnover: 13.2%, against a national average of 45.8%. That kind of stability usually means familiar faces, and it may help explain the 5/5 quality measure rating despite a 3/5 on health inspections. The current record shows 15 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse. One fine, $8,512. Last inspected January 2026.

Forest View runs 3.41 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 12 percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 7 percent below its own weekday staffing. That thinner coverage is the main thing pulling its staffing picture down, even though turnover at 29.8 percent is well below the 45.8 percent national rate, meaning the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. The inspection record is strong: a 5/5 health inspection rating, most recently surveyed in May 2024, with 9 deficiencies and none at the harm or jeopardy level, though 2 are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly.

Elmhurst Care Center runs 240 beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits around 3.20 hours per resident per day, roughly 17% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday numbers, so coverage thins out just when families tend to visit. What offsets that is stability: turnover is 31.8%, well under the 45.8% national figure, meaning the aides and nurses your relative sees are more likely to still be there next year. The inspection record backs that up, a 4/5 health inspection rating, last survey in July 2024, and 14 deficiencies with none at the harm level and none abuse-related.

Fairview Nursing Care Center runs a 200-bed for-profit home in Forest Hills, and the staffing numbers are its clearest strength: 5.39 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 40% above the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip only slightly below weekdays, so coverage stays fairly even. But 53.2% annual turnover means the people delivering that care keep changing, which matters more than the raw hours. The inspection record is mixed, 22 deficiencies, none at the harm level, but two tied to abuse. A December 2025 inspection keeps the record current.

New Glen Oaks Nursing Home runs 60 certified beds in Queens under corporate for-profit ownership, and its numbers pull in two directions. The health inspection rating sits mid-range at 3 out of 5, with nine deficiencies on the current record, none of them causing harm or jeopardy, and none abuse-related, plus five fines totaling $23,443. Where the home stands out is quality measures, which score a full 5 out of 5, suggesting residents' clinical outcomes look good on paper. The catch is staffing, which rates just 1 out of 5. That's the weakest link here, and it matters most for day-to-day care. The last inspection was June 10, 2024, so the record is fairly current. Ask about direct-care hours per resident before deciding.

Windsor Park runs a 70-bed for-profit home in Queens Village, and the numbers pull in two directions. Nurse staffing sits at 4.04 hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average, and annual turnover of 19.4% is unusually low against a national rate near 46%, that kind of retention usually means aides and nurses stay long enough to know the residents. Weekends run about 10% leaner than weekdays, so care thins out on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is where it gets hard to ignore: 14 deficiencies, five of them at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse, and one fine of $306,240.

Nurse staffing sits at 3.68 hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 13% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 26.3% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay put. Its last inspection was November 20, 2024, and the record shows 17 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. Quality measures score well, though the health inspection rating lags behind.

Weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 31.5% against a national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. The current record shows 20 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one abuse-related citation. The last inspection was February 2026. Quality measures score well; the health inspection side does not.

Cliffside runs 4.07 nurse hours per resident day, about five percent above the national average, and its staff turnover of 31.1% is well below the 45.8% national figure, that kind of retention matters more than a single staffing number, since aides who stay know the residents. The tradeoff is weekends, when coverage drops roughly 12% below the home's own weekday level. Eight deficiencies sit on the current record with none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. The last inspection was July 2025, so the picture is reasonably current.

Franklin Center runs 320 beds in Flushing under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing. At 3.62 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 6% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 13% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover, though, is genuinely low: 30.1% against a national 45.8%, which suggests people stay. The tradeoff shows up in the inspection record, 14 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with the last inspection in February 2024. Quality measures score well, but that deficiency list is what a family should ask about directly before deciding.

Queens Nassau Rehabilitation and Nursing Center runs 200 certified beds in Far Rockaway under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.51 nurse hours per resident day, about 9% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop roughly 12% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. The current record shows 16 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, plus a $9,318 fine. Annual turnover of 40% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure. Last inspection was July 2025. The two-star inspection and staffing ratings alongside a four-star quality measure score tell you the clinical tracking looks better on paper than the day-to-day coverage suggests.

Union Plaza Care Center runs 280 certified beds in Flushing under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers pull in two directions. The nurses give each resident about 3.19 hours of care per day, roughly 17 percent below the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 9 percent thinner than weekdays, so coverage depends on when you visit. Against that, turnover sits at 29.5 percent versus 45.8 percent nationally, meaning the staff who are there tend to stay. Nine deficiencies show on the current record with none at the harm level, though two are abuse-related, and the last inspection was August 2024.

The New York Center for Rehabilitation & Nursing in Astoria runs 280 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely strong, a five-star health inspection rating, just three deficiencies on the current record, and none of them at the harm or jeopardy level. The catch is staffing: 4.03 nurse hours per resident day sits about 4% above the national average, but the home only earns three stars there, and weekend coverage drops roughly 15% below its own weekday level. One abuse-related deficiency also appears in the record. Overall nursing hours look fine on paper; the thinner weekend shifts and that abuse citation are what keep this from being a clean bill of health.

Hillside Manor runs 400 certified beds in Jamaica Estates under for-profit LLC ownership, and the raw staffing number, 3.37 nurse hours per resident day, sits about 13% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly another 9% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. What stands out in the other direction is retention: 26.5% turnover against a 45.8% national average means far fewer unfamiliar faces than at a typical home. The inspection record is where the picture darkens, 19 deficiencies on file, including two at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus a $34,947 fine and a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating. The most recent survey was March 31, 2025, so that record is current.

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.
