Staff turnover
34%

Cobble Hill Health Center runs 364 certified beds as a nonprofit in Brooklyn, and its strongest numbers are in care quality, where federal measures rate it at the top. Staffing is the tradeoff: 3.40 nurse hours per resident day sits about 12% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 9% lighter than weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover works in its favor at 33.8%, well below the 45.8% national figure, which suggests a steadier workforce than most. Inspections in February 2024 turned up 22 deficiencies, none causing harm or jeopardy, though three were abuse-related, worth asking about directly.

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.

United Hebrew runs 4.06 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average, though weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday staffing. The standout number is turnover: 18.3% against a national average near 46%, which matters because consistent caregivers know the residents. Inspections in October 2023 turned up 10 deficiencies, none at the level of actual harm, but two tied to abuse, worth asking about directly. The four- and five-star federal ratings on health inspections, quality measures, and staffing all point the same direction, and nonprofit ownership tends to mean the margin goes back into the building rather than to investors.

Ditmas Park Care Center runs on 4.63 nurse hours per resident day, about 20% above the national average, and staff turnover sits at 22.8%, roughly half the national rate. Both matter more than a single inspection day, since consistent hands on deck usually mean residents' needs get noticed. The tradeoff shows up on weekends, when coverage drops about 11% below the home's own weekday level. The record is clean where it counts. Seven deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and the last inspection was August 2024. This is a for-profit limited liability company with 200 beds, and the low turnover rate suggests workers stay, which tends to keep care steadier across shifts.

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.

McAuley Residence is a nonprofit home in Kenmore with 160 certified beds, and the numbers that matter most here are strong. Nurse staffing runs 4.27 hours per resident day, about 11% above the national average, and its most recent inspection, in January 2025, came back clean enough to earn top marks on health inspections and quality measures alike. Two things are worth watching. Turnover sits at 50.5%, above the national 45.8%, and weekends run roughly 8% thinner than weekdays, so care can shift depending on when you visit. The eight deficiencies on record include three tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy.

King Street Home runs a lean, well-staffed operation on paper: 5.06 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, and weekend coverage barely dips from weekday levels. Turnover sits at 48%, a bit above the national figure, which matters for how consistently residents see the same caregivers. The health inspection record is the weak spot, 30 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent survey was in January 2024. Quality measures and staffing both score well; state inspectors have been less impressed. For-profit corporate ownership. Ask about that abuse citation and how the 48% turnover plays out on the floor.

Kingsway Arms runs about 4.13 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 7% above the national average, but weekends dip about 14% below its own weekday coverage, so the care your family member gets on a Saturday may look thinner than what the weekday numbers suggest. Turnover sits at 37.6%, meaningfully better than the 45.8% national rate, which matters for whether aides actually know the residents. On its current record there are 7 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in August 2024. It's a for-profit, individually owned home, and the three CMS star ratings all land at 4 out of 5.

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. Josephs Place runs 46 beds in Port Jervis, and its staffing numbers are the story here. Total nurse coverage sits at 3.86 hours per resident day, almost exactly at the national average, though weekends dip about 13% below what the home staffs during the week. Turnover is where it separates itself: 25.8% against a national average of 45.8%, which suggests people stay. The inspection record shows 7 deficiencies with none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the last survey was in February 2024. As a nonprofit with 46 beds, it's small enough that consistency matters more than scale.

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.

Schulman and Schachne in Brooklyn runs 448 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing picture is genuinely strong, 4.33 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average, with turnover at 22.9% against a national 45.8%. That consistency matters, though weekend coverage dips about 16% below weekday levels. The concerns sit elsewhere: 18 deficiencies on the current record, including one at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a $15,646 fine. Inspectors last visited in July 2024. High marks on staffing and quality measures don't erase what shows up in the inspection history.

New Carlton runs lean on nursing hours, 3.10 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday coverage, which matters most when families visit and fewer eyes are on residents. Turnover is where it separates itself: 21.5% annually, less than half the national rate, meaning the aides and nurses here tend to stay. The record shows 16 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related and worth asking about directly. Inspectors last visited in July 2024, and the home is owned by a for-profit LLC. Quality measures score high; staffing and inspections sit in the middle.

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.

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.

Andrus On Hudson sits in Hastings On Hudson with 197 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership. The staffing story is mixed: 3.42 nurse hours per resident day runs about 11% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 8% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. What stands out is retention: 25.4% annual turnover against a national 45.8% means aides and nurses largely stay, which matters for familiarity and consistency of care. On inspections, 17 deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related finding, last surveyed March 2023. Quality measures score well. The trade-off is real: steady staff, thinner hours.

Nottingham R H C F runs a tight ship on the clinical side. The forty-bed nonprofit in Jamesville has a clean inspection record, eight deficiencies on the books, none of them causing harm or involving abuse, and its most recent state visit was just this past September. Nurse staffing sits at 3.85 hours per resident day, essentially level with the national average, though weekends run about 11 percent thinner than weekdays, so ask how that gap gets covered. Staff turnover of 34.2 percent is meaningfully better than the 45.8 percent national figure, which matters for whether your parent sees the same faces. Small homes live or die on consistency, and the numbers here suggest this one mostly has it.

Springvale runs 200 beds in Croton On Hudson, under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers pull in different directions. Nurse staffing sits at 3.56 hours per resident day, about 8% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 13% below the home's own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot: 26.9% against a national 45.8%, which suggests aides and nurses are staying. The inspection record is the caution flag: 39 deficiencies on file, six tied to abuse, and the most recent visit was August 2025. None of those deficiencies rose to harm or jeopardy, but 39 is a lot to carry.

Schuyler Hospital's long-term care unit runs a nonprofit operation with 120 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.32 hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average. That's a real cushion, though weekends drop about 18% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage isn't uniform across the week. Staff turnover of 44.4% lands just under the national 45.8%, which is close to typical rather than a standout. The inspection record shows 19 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but two tied to abuse, worth asking about directly. The last inspection was in March 2024, so the picture is reasonably current.

37%
Serious cites
0

Fort Tryon runs on thinner staffing than most homes, 3.33 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping roughly 8% below its own weekday levels. That gap matters more than the headline numbers suggest, because 205 beds is a lot of ground to cover when the weekend crew is stretched. What offsets it: staff turnover at 37% sits well below the 45.8% national rate, so the people showing up tend to stay. The inspection record is clean where it counts, 8 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, no abuse findings, and the most recent survey was in December 2025. For-profit individual ownership, strong quality measure scores, and a stable workforce are doing real work here.
