Nurse hours

Staff turnover
20%
Serious cites
0

The Steven and Alexandra Cohen Pediatric LTC Pavilion in Valhalla runs 8.34 nurse hours per resident day, more than double the national average of 3.86, and that staffing holds up reasonably on weekends, dipping only about 9% from weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 20.4% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for these 24 residents tend to stay. Inspections back it up: two deficiencies on record, none involving harm or abuse, and the most recent survey was in August 2024. As a nonprofit with a five-star inspection and quality record, this is about as steady as a small pediatric skilled nursing setting gets.

Staff turnover
38%

Beechwood runs 272 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its 3.97 nurse staffing hours per resident day sits slightly above the national average of 3.86. Turnover is where it separates itself: 37.5% annually against a national 45.8%, meaning fewer caregivers are walking out the door than at the typical home. The tradeoff is weekends, when staffing drops about 13% below its own weekday level. Eight deficiencies are on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. The last inspection was November 2023, so the picture is reasonably current, and the federal ratings come back clean across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing.

Staff turnover

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.

Woodland Pond runs a small 40-bed unit, and the staffing numbers are the story here: 5.37 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. Turnover sits at 31.4%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests people stay. Ten deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with three fines totaling $13,099. The last inspection was April 2025, so the picture is recent. Nonprofit ownership, steady staff, no serious citations, the marks that matter most to daily care look solid.

Staff turnover

Casa Promesa runs 108 certified beds in the Bronx under nonprofit ownership, and its staffing sits right at the national average, 3.87 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationwide. That average hides a gap, though: weekends run about 14% leaner than weekdays, so coverage depends on when you visit. Staff turnover is 42.9%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The concern is the inspection record, 28 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, with a $8,281 fine and a 2-out-of-5 inspection rating. Quality measures score 5/5, but that's self-reported data. The last inspection was December 2024, so the record is current. Ask about weekend coverage and that abuse citation specifically.

Jefferson's Ferry runs on unusually heavy staffing for a nursing home, 5.30 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, and it shows in the inspection record, where only a handful of deficiencies appear and none involved actual harm to a resident. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Two abuse-related citations on the current record deserve a direct question about what happened and what changed. Turnover sits near 50%, slightly worse than the national figure, so continuity of caregivers isn't a given despite the strong hours.

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.

St Catherine Laboure runs on 4.30 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average, and its staff tends to stay, 33% turnover against a national 45.8%. The tradeoff shows up on weekends, when coverage drops about 17% below the home's own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on the floor. State inspectors visited in February 2026 and logged eight deficiencies, none causing harm or jeopardy, though three were abuse-related, worth asking about directly, since those can reflect reporting and screening issues rather than incidents. Church-affiliated and nonprofit, 80 beds. Strong inspection and staffing marks, with a few specific questions worth raising.

Syracuse Home Association in Baldwinsville runs on a nonprofit model with 120 certified beds, and the staffing numbers tell a steady story: 4.51 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17 percent above the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 20 percent below its own weekday level, worth asking about if your family visits primarily on Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 32.3 percent against a national average of 45.8 percent, which suggests people tend to stay. The current inspection record shows eight deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey completed January 27, 2026.

Bethel Nursing Home Company in Ossining is a small nonprofit, 43 certified beds, and the numbers tell a story with real strengths and real caveats. Nurse staffing runs about 3.53 hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average, though its 25% annual turnover is well below the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether you see the same faces week to week. The inspection record is the weak spot: 22 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, and a two-star health inspection rating, though none reached harm or jeopardy level and the most recent inspection was in March 2025. Ask specifically about those abuse-related citations and how weekend coverage holds up.

Ideal Senior Living Center runs on 4.55 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18% more than the national average, though weekend coverage dips about 14% below its own weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 30.2%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents' routines. The inspection record shows 8 deficiencies with none at the harm level and none abuse-related, plus one fine of $28,140; the most recent inspection was in February 2026, so the picture is current. As a nonprofit, it answers to a board rather than shareholders.

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.

St Josephs Home runs on 3.02 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 22% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday staffing. What offsets that thin coverage is consistency: turnover sits at 27.8% against a national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses showing up are more likely to already know the residents. The inspection record is clean where it counts, 11 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related and worth asking about directly. This nonprofit has been inspected recently, March 2026, and its quality measures score at the top of the federal scale. Ask about weekend coverage and that abuse citation.

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.

Valley View, a county-run home in Goshen with 360 beds, sits in an unusual spot. Its staffing looks solid on paper, 3.92 nurse hours per resident day, just above the national average, with a 4/5 staffing star, and turnover is genuinely low at 20.8% against a national 45.8%. But weekend staffing drops roughly 10% below its own weekday level, and the inspection record is the real story: 44 deficiencies on file, including 8 tied to abuse, with a 1/5 health inspection star despite the most recent survey in July 2025. None of those deficiencies reached harm or jeopardy level, and resident quality measures score 5/5. So you're weighing a home that keeps its staff and treats residents well by the measures, against a thick inspection history worth asking about directly.

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.

Lutheran Center At Poughkeepsie runs 4.06 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average, and its 31.9% turnover is well below the 45.8% typical elsewhere, that stability matters when you're thinking about who's actually at the bedside. Weekends thin out about 9% against weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. The harder reading is the inspection record: 23 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, with the last inspection in February 2024. Quality measures look strong and staffing holds up, but you'll want to ask directly what changed since that inspection.

Apex Rehabilitation & Care Center runs 195 certified beds in Huntington Station under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.69 hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average, and weekends drop about 10% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot at 31.4%, well below the national 45.8%, which suggests a steadier workforce than most. The tradeoff shows up in inspections: a 2/5 health inspection rating and 31 deficiencies on record, including four tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy. Last inspected April 2025. Quality and staffing measures look strong; the survey history is what pulls it down.

Crouse Community Center runs on a nonprofit model with 120 certified beds in Morrisville, and its staffing is the clearest strength: 4.01 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping only slightly below weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 26.4%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. The tradeoffs show up elsewhere. Inspectors cited 13 deficiencies on the current record, two tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy.

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.
