Meadowbrook runs lean on nurse hours, 3.70 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday pace, so a Saturday shift isn't staffed like a Tuesday. What stands out is retention: 22.1% turnover against a national 45.8% means the aides and nurses here tend to stay, which matters more for daily care than a slightly low staffing number. The inspection record is quiet on serious harm: 14 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related. A July 2024 inspection is recent enough to trust, and the 280-bed for-profit home earns strong marks on quality measures.

Glen Arden runs about 5.17 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average of 3.86, and its staff turnover of 36% sits below the 45.8% national figure, numbers that suggest a stable, well-staffed floor. Weekend coverage dips about 9% from weekday levels, worth asking about if your visits fall on Saturdays or Sundays. The tradeoff shows up in oversight: 21 deficiencies on the current record, two serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a single fine of $108,046. The most recent inspection was in December 2025. Small homes of 40 beds can be either tightly run or thinly supervised, and here the staffing strength and the inspection record point in different directions.

The Pavilion at Queens runs 302 certified beds in Flushing under for-profit partnership ownership. 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.

Regal Heights runs 280 beds in Jackson Heights under for-profit partnership ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.09 hours per resident day, roughly 20% under the national average of 3.86. 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.

Good Shepherd Village runs a tight ship on the numbers that matter most for day-to-day care: nurse staffing at 4.73 hours per resident day, well above the national average, with weekend coverage barely dipping below weekday levels. Inspectors have cited 13 deficiencies on the current record, but none rose to harm or jeopardy, and none involved abuse, a meaningful distinction when you're comparing homes. The trade-off shows up in the quality measure score, which sits low despite the strong inspection and staffing marks. That split usually means the home does well on process and oversight but has room to improve on resident outcomes. Worth asking the administrator which measures are dragging.

St. Joseph's in Elmira runs a tight ship on retention, 27.8% turnover is well under the national average, which matters because consistent caregivers know their residents. Staffing sits at 3.83 hours per resident day, just shy of the national figure, though weekends thin out about 9% below weekday levels. What pulls the record down is everything else: 14 deficiencies on the current books, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus a 1-out-of-5 quality measure rating that suggests clinical outcomes aren't keeping pace with the staffing picture. Inspectors were last in July 2024. The people side looks solid; the compliance side is where a family should ask questions.

Brothers Of Mercy in Clarence runs 240 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.97 hours per resident day, roughly 3% above the national average. That edge narrows on weekends, when coverage drops about 14% below the home's own weekday level, so the weekday picture is stronger than the weekend one. Staff turnover lands at 49.6%, a few points above the national 45.8%, which matters for how well residents know their caregivers. On its current record: 12 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but one abuse-related citation. The last inspection was January 16, 2026, so the findings are recent.

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.

The New Jewish Home runs 514 certified beds on Manhattan's West Side as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.90 hours per resident day, barely above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage drops roughly 13% below its own weekday level, so the care you'd see on a Saturday isn't quite what you'd see on a Tuesday. Turnover is genuinely low at 30.8% against a national 45.8%, which matters for continuity. But the inspection record is the real story: 29 deficiencies, three serious enough to put residents in harm's way, six tied to abuse, and $134,514 in fines. The last inspection was November 2024.

Wayne Center runs 243 beds in the Bronx under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.44 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. The turnover picture is unusual: 25.8% annually against a national average near 46%, meaning aides and nurses stick around longer than at most homes. Inspections in January 2025 turned up 17 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspections land mid-range.

The Norwegian Christian Home and Health Center is a 135-bed nonprofit in Brooklyn with a clean inspection record, eight deficiencies, none of them serious enough to cause harm, and nothing abuse-related. Its last state visit was in August 2024, so the picture is reasonably current. Nurse staffing sits at 3.69 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and weekends run noticeably thinner than weekdays, which is worth asking about if your family visits or needs coverage then. What stands out is turnover: 32.3% against a national average near 46%. Staff tending to stay put is a real advantage in a building this size.

Pontiac Nursing Home runs 80 certified beds in Oswego under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits around 3.09 hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 11% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 50%, a bit above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows 26 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, and the last inspection was September 2025. CMS gave it 2 of 5 stars on health inspections but 4 of 5 on quality measures, so the clinical numbers look better than the oversight history. Ask about weekend coverage and that abuse citation specifically.

Bayberry runs on 4.00 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the 3.86 national average, and its staff turnover of 35.2% sits well under the 45.8% national figure, a sign people tend to stay. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops roughly 11% below the weekday level. Its current record shows seven deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was July 2025. With 60 beds under for-profit partnership ownership, this is a small home whose staffing and inspection numbers hold up reasonably well, though the weekend dip is worth asking about directly.

Pathways Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 112 certified beds in Niskayuna under individual for-profit ownership, and the staffing picture is mixed. At 4.09 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 6% above the national average of 3.86, which is a real cushion, but weekends drop roughly 15% below the home's own weekday levels, so the coverage your family member gets on a Saturday isn't what they'd get on a Tuesday. Turnover lands at 42.5%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The current record shows 12 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. Its last inspection was January 2025.

Ira Davenport Memorial Hospital's nursing unit sits in Bath, run by a nonprofit corporation. Its last health inspection was September 2024, and it came through cleanly enough for a five-star inspection rating, seven deficiencies on record, none of them causing harm or jeopardy, though one is abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. Staffing is where it slips: 3.66 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 10% thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover of 44.6% is essentially at the national norm, so retention isn't the problem, the raw hours per resident are. Ask how weekend coverage is handled.

Friedwald Center runs 180 certified beds as a for-profit operation owned by an individual, and its record is genuinely mixed. The staffing rating sits at the bottom of CMS's scale, yet the quality measure score is perfect, which usually means the clinical outcomes look fine even though resident-to-aide ratios don't. Staff turnover is 40.3 percent, slightly better than the 45.8 percent national average, so retention isn't the main worry here. Inspections are. Twenty-six deficiencies on the current record, three tied to abuse, with the last visit in July 2024, a two-star inspection rating that a five-star quality score can't offset on its own.

Saints Joachim & Anne runs 200 beds in Brooklyn under corporate ownership, and the numbers pull in two directions. Its last inspection was in April 2025 and turned up 10 deficiencies, none serious enough to cause harm and none tied to abuse, a solid showing on safety. Staffing is the weak spot: 3.26 nurse hours per resident day sits about 16% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 10% thinner than weekdays, so coverage depends on when you visit. Turnover at 40.9% actually beats the national rate, meaning the aides who are there tend to stay. Ask about weekend aide coverage on the evening shift before deciding.

Schervier Pavilion runs lean on nurse hours, 3.84 per resident day, just under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday coverage. What stands out instead is retention: 24.2% turnover against a national 45.8% means far fewer unfamiliar faces, which matters for residents who need consistent caregivers. The tradeoff shows in the quality measures, where CMS scores this home 1 out of 5, though its 17 deficiencies include none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and state inspectors were last in October 2024. For a 120-bed nonprofit in Warwick, the picture is steady hands on staff paired with clinical outcomes that don't measure up.
