St Cabrini runs a fairly tight ship on the staffing side. The 304-bed nonprofit in Dobbs Ferry pays for 3.71 nurse hours per resident per day, about 4% under the national figure of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips roughly 9% below its own weekdays, so ask how that gap gets handled. What stands out is retention: 20.8% turnover against a national average near 46%, which suggests a stable, familiar crew. The tradeoffs are 21 deficiencies on record, including one abuse-related finding and none at harm or jeopardy, plus a May 2023 inspection that's now well over a year old. Worth reading the abuse citation closely.

Rutland Nursing Home runs a 538-bed nonprofit operation in Brooklyn where the day-to-day staffing is genuinely strong, 4.41 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national average, with a 22% turnover rate that's less than half the typical nursing home. Those numbers matter, and they're reflected in the staffing rating. But the inspection record tells a different story. Twenty-nine deficiencies on file, including two at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus a $55,231 fine and a one-star health inspection rating. That's a lot of serious findings for a home this size, and the most recent inspection was in March 2025. Good staffing doesn't erase a troubling survey history. If you're considering this one, ask hard questions about what those abuse deficiencies involved and what's changed since.

Our Lady of Consolation runs 450 certified beds in West Islip under nonprofit ownership, and its staffing numbers tell a mixed story. At 3.73 nurse hours per resident day, it sits slightly under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 9% below its own weekday coverage. The stronger signal is retention: 27.9% turnover against a national 45.8% means aides and nurses here tend to stay. But the inspection record is where families should slow down, 22 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus a $141,980 fine. The most recent state visit was July 2025.

Iroquois Nursing Home runs on thinner staffing than most places, 3.40 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 17% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover sits at 43.9%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, so the workforce is comparatively stable even if it's stretched. The inspection record is where this home looks strongest: a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating, a clean August 2024 survey, and 13 deficiencies with none rising to harm or jeopardy. One abuse-related citation is on the books, which is worth asking about directly. Quality measures score 5 out of 5, so residents' clinical outcomes track well despite the lighter staffing.

Oxford Nursing Home runs 235 certified beds in Brooklyn under corporate ownership, and its 3.46 nurse staffing hours per resident day sit about 10% under the national figure of 3.86. Weekends drop roughly 12% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record shows 21 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related and worth asking about directly. Staff turnover is 19.5% against a national average near 46%, which suggests people stay. Its last inspection was September 2025, recent enough to trust. A 4/5 on health inspections and 5/5 on quality measures rounds out a home with real strengths and a staffing gap to weigh.

Greenfield Health & Rehab in Lancaster runs a nonprofit shop with 160 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are genuinely above average, 4.58 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19% higher than the national figure. That's the kind of cushion that shows up in daily care, though weekends dip about 12% below weekdays, so timing matters. Staff turnover sits at 48.9%, a bit worse than the 45.8% national rate. The inspection record shows 12 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but 5 abuse-related findings is a real number worth asking about directly. The last inspection was August 2025, so the record is current.

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.

The Baptist Home at Brookmeade runs lean on daily nursing hours, 3.06 per resident, roughly a fifth below the national figure, and weekends are thinner still, about 8% under its own weekday coverage. What offsets that is stability: staff turnover sits at 28.9% against a national 45.8%, so the people showing up are more likely to know the residents. Inspections back that up, with seven deficiencies on record, none causing harm or tied to abuse, and the most recent visit in March 2024. A five out of five on quality measures and four on health inspections round out a nonprofit home that's short on hours but steady where it counts.

Wayne County Nursing Home is run by the county, and its staffing is the strongest part of the picture: 4.57 nurse hours per resident day, about 18% above the national average, with turnover at 33.3%, noticeably lower than the 45.8% typical elsewhere. Weekends, though, run roughly 19% thinner than weekdays, so coverage isn't even across the week. The trouble sits in inspections, where CMS gives one star out of five. Fourteen deficiencies are on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus a $16,153 fine. The most recent inspection was November 2024. Good staffing and steady retention matter, but a harm-level finding and an abuse citation are the kind of thing you'd want to ask about directly before deciding.

Hebrew Home For The Aged At Riverdale runs 843 beds as a nonprofit, and its 3.27 nurse staffing hours per resident day sit roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 6% below its own weekday level, which matters in a building this size. Turnover is the bright spot: 27.3% against a national 45.8%, so aides and nurses tend to stay. Inspections look solid, 8 deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, and the last survey was March 2026.

The Cottages at Garden Grove runs on more direct nursing time than most homes nationally, 4.41 hours per resident day against a 3.86 average, and that shows up in a four-star staffing rating. Weekends dip roughly 7% below weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. The rest of the picture is uneven. Inspectors logged 25 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with the last visit in July 2024. Turnover sits at 48%, a few points above the national figure. Nonprofit ownership doesn't erase any of that.

Schoellkopf Health Center runs 120 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth knowing. Total nurse coverage sits at 3.76 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 6% below the home's own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 54.3%, nearly nine points above the national figure, which matters more than a single shift count because it means less continuity for residents. The inspection record shows 19 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level but two tied to abuse, and the most recent inspection was in August 2025. Quality measures score well; the inspection and staffing sides of the ledger are where the tension sits.

Daughters of Sarah, a nonprofit home in Albany with 210 beds, runs on 3.50 nurse staffing hours per resident day, about 9% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 10% below its own weekday numbers, so a Saturday shift isn't the same as a Tuesday one. That thinner coverage is the main thing keeping its staffing rating at 3 stars, not the care record. Inspections come in at 4 stars with 13 deficiencies on file, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related; the last full look was September 2024. Staff turnover sits at 42.3%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, which helps explain why the quality measures also land at 4 stars. Nonprofit ownership usually means steadier priorities than a chain.

New East Side Nursing Home runs a tight ship on the things inspectors actually check. Six deficiencies on its current record, none of them serious enough to harm a resident and none tied to abuse, and a five-star health inspection rating from CMS. Staff turnover sits at 28.3%, well under the national 45.8%, that kind of stability usually means consistent care, and it's not easy to find. The tradeoff is raw staffing hours: 3.43 per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends running slightly thinner than weekdays. For 58 beds in Manhattan, that's a manageable size, but ask how the floor is covered on Saturday and Sunday before you decide.

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.

Taconic Rehabilitation and Nursing at Beacon is a 160-bed for-profit home in Dutchess County with a solid inspection record, 18 deficiencies on file, none of them serious enough to cause harm or put anyone in immediate jeopardy. The one abuse-related citation is worth asking about directly. Nurse staffing sits at 3.72 hours per resident day, slightly under the national average, and weekends run about 12% thinner than weekdays, so ask how coverage looks on a Saturday. Staff turnover is 36.4%, which is actually better than the national rate of 45.8%, a real point in its favor. The most recent inspection was July 2024, so the picture is reasonably current.

St. Ann's Community runs 470 beds in Rochester, and the staffing picture is solid: 3.98 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, with turnover at 38.9% against a national 45.8%, keeping more of your caregivers matters, and this home does better than most. Weekends dip about 10% below weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family visits then. The record isn't clean: 13 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two abuse-related, plus $55,495 in fines across two events. A 4/5 on health inspections from April 2024 suggests those issues aren't the whole story, but read the abuse citations yourself before deciding.

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.

Charles T Sitrin Health Care Center runs a split profile. On the floor, staffing is genuinely strong: 4.70 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping about 10% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 42.5%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, and the nonprofit ownership structure tends to mean steadier long-term management. The trouble is the inspection history. A 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating rests on 28 deficiencies, including three at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a $171,860 fine. The most recent inspection was November 2024, so the record is current. Strong staffing and a difficult regulatory history can coexist; ask what the plan of correction actually changed.

Methodist Home for Nursing and Rehabilitation runs 120 beds in the Bronx under nonprofit ownership, and its inspection record is the strongest thing about it, five stars, five deficiencies on the current record, none of them causing harm or involving abuse, with the last survey in May 2024. Staffing sits just under the national average at 3.82 hours per resident day, and weekends drop roughly 10% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins when families tend to visit. The number worth sitting with is turnover: 17.2% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay.
