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.

St Luke runs 200 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation in Oswego, and its staffing is the first thing to notice: 2.99 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 23 percent under the national average of 3.86, with weekend coverage dropping another 13 percent below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 52.3 percent against a national 45.8 percent, so the people around your relative change often. Inspections are mixed, 21 deficiencies on the current record, three serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, none abuse-related, with the last visit in April 2023. A nonprofit's mission doesn't automatically become bedside hours, and here the numbers say coverage runs thin.

Island Nursing and Rehab runs 120 beds in Holtsville as a nonprofit, and its inspection record is genuinely clean, 13 deficiencies on the books, none reaching harm or jeopardy level, no abuse citations, with a survey as recent as August 2025. Where it gives ground is staffing: 3.40 nurse hours per resident day sits roughly 12 percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 11 percent below the home's own weekday coverage. Turnover lands at 45.9 percent, essentially identical to the national figure, so retention isn't the problem, the raw number of hands is. Ask how weekend coverage actually looks on the unit your family member would live on.

Katherine Luther Residential in Clinton is a 280-bed nonprofit home run by a church group, and its numbers tell a split story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.49 hours per resident day, roughly 10 percent under the national average, and weekends run about 16 percent thinner than weekdays, so coverage is lightest exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot at 34.9 percent, well under the national 45.8 percent, which suggests a steadier workforce than many homes manage. The inspection record is the real concern: 33 deficiencies, four of them at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and $80,558 in fines across two penalties. The most recent inspection was August 2024.

St. Camillus runs 284 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its recent inspection history is the part worth knowing about. The January 2026 survey left 24 deficiencies on the record, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related citation, along with a $39,754 fine, that's a meaningful amount of regulatory attention in a single cycle. Nurse staffing sits at 3.49 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, and weekends dip about 17% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the hours get thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover at 37.4% is better than the national 45.8%, which suggests some stability in the workforce, but the staffing and inspection ratings both land at 2 out of 5. Ask about that weekend coverage and the plan of correction.

The Center For Nursing And Rehab At Hoosick Falls runs on more nursing hours than most places, 4.13 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and its quality measure score is solid. The catch is consistency: weekend staffing drops about 17% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 55.7%, well above the 45.8% national figure. Eighteen deficiencies appear on the current record, none serious enough to trigger a harm or jeopardy citation, though one is abuse-related. State inspectors last visited in October 2024. It's a nonprofit home with 82 beds whose numbers look better on paper than the weekend reality might.

Kings Harbor is a 720-bed for-profit home in the Bronx, and its inspection record is the bright spot here, a four-star health inspection rating with 17 deficiencies on file, none of them serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy. But five of those deficiencies are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. The staffing and quality measure ratings both come in at one star, well below what you'd want for a building this size, and low staffing tends to show up in daily care long before it shows up on paper. The most recent inspection was December 2024, so the record is current.

Lawrence Nursing Care Center runs 200 beds in Arverne under corporate ownership, and its staffing is the first thing that stands out. At 2.59 nurse hours per resident day, it's roughly a third below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 12% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts are the ones families visit. Turnover, at 30.4%, actually beats the national 45.8%, which suggests the people who stay tend to stay. The current inspection record shows 25 deficiencies, none at harm level but one abuse-related, with the most recent visit in January 2025. Resident outcome measures land mid-range even as staffing and inspection ratings sit at the bottom.

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.

Cayuga runs 160 beds in Ithaca under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to look at: 3.70 nurse hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average, with weekends roughly 15% thinner than weekdays. That gap matters, because it's when families visit and when fewer eyes are on residents. Turnover sits at 48.2%, a few points above the national figure, so the people providing that care are often new. The inspection record shows 31 deficiencies, including one at harm level and two tied to abuse, plus seven fines totaling $41,616. The most recent inspection was in January 2025, so the picture is current. Quality measures rate mid-range, but staffing and health inspections both sit at 2 out of 5.

Waterville Residential Care Center runs about 3.25 nursing hours per resident each day, roughly 16 percent under the national average, and weekends drop another 18 percent below its own weekday coverage. Staff turnover sits at 50.5 percent, higher than the 45.8 percent national figure, which matters because new faces on the floor usually mean less familiarity with residents. The 15 deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, so the problems are real but not dangerous. The last inspection was October 2024, so the picture is reasonably current. Ownership is a for-profit partnership with 92 certified beds. The staffing numbers, not the inspection record, are what pull this one down.

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.

Central Queens Rehab & Nursing Center runs about 2.97 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 10% below its own weekday levels. That thin coverage shows up in the staffing star rating, which sits at 2 out of 5. Turnover is 36.5%, actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the problem isn't churn, it's how many hands are scheduled per shift. The record shows 33 deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related, and the last inspection was August 2025, so the picture is fairly current.

Schofield Residence sits in Kenmore with 120 certified beds and a nonprofit owner, and its 4.20 nurse staffing hours per resident day land about 9% above the national average of 3.86. Weekends tell a different story, though, staffing drops roughly 14% below the home's own weekday levels. The bigger number to sit with is 66.5% annual turnover against a national 45.8%, which means roughly two of every three caregivers left last year. Fifteen deficiencies appear on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one is abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was April 2025.

East Side Nursing Home runs lean on the people who actually deliver care. At 2.76 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 28% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another quarter below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The 48.3% turnover means nearly half the nursing staff leaves each year. That helps explain a 1-out-of-5 staffing rating and 13 deficiencies on record, including one at harm level and three tied to abuse, with $30,635 in fines across four penalties. The 5-out-of-5 quality measure score and 2023 inspection offer some balance, but staffing is where the risk sits.

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.

Willow Point runs a county-owned, 300-bed home in Vestal, and the staffing numbers are its clearest strength: 4.25 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average. But weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 52.1% against a national 45.8%, so that coverage isn't always steady. The bigger concern is the inspection record, a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 26 deficiencies with two at harm or jeopardy level, two abuse-related, and a $166,364 fine, with the last survey in June 2025. Quality and staffing measures both land at 3 out of 5. Families weighing this one should ask directly about weekend coverage and the abuse-related findings.

The Pines in Olean is county-owned, which matters less than what the numbers show. Nurses provide 3.50 hours of care per resident per day, about 9% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run roughly a tenth thinner than weekdays, so the weakest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Annual turnover sits at 60.8% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the staff you meet this year likely won't be there next. The good news: inspections are recent, the health inspection rating is strong at 4 of 5, and none of the nine deficiencies on record reached harm or jeopardy level. Three are abuse-related, though, which is worth asking about directly.

Meadowbrook runs about 3.44 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 11% under the national average, and weekends drop another 13% below its own weekday level. That gap matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when families often visit and notice. Staff turnover sits at 49%, a few points above the national figure. The inspection record shows 25 deficiencies, none flagged at harm or jeopardy level, but one is abuse-related, worth asking about directly. Ownership is for-profit corporate, and the most recent inspection was October 2024. The quality measure score is decent; the inspection history is the weaker piece. Ask about weekend coverage, turnover on the current staff, and the abuse citation before deciding.

Bezalel Rehabilitation and Nursing Center runs 120 certified beds in Far Rockaway as a nonprofit corporation. Nurse staffing sits at 3.28 hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 8 percent below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. What stands out favorably is turnover: 22.4 percent versus a national average of 45.8 percent, meaning aides and nurses largely stay put, which matters for residents who need consistent hands. The record shows 13 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. The last inspection was March 2026, so the picture is recent. Quality measure scores come in at 2 out of 5 stars, which is where the weaker numbers cluster.
