Staff turnover

Glendale Home in Scotia is county-run, and that shows in the staffing numbers. At 4.09 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 6% above the national average, which is genuinely better than most homes manage. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops roughly 14% below its own weekday level. On inspections, the record is mixed: twenty deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, with the most recent visit back in August 2023, so the picture is two years old. Resident care measures land mid-range. The extra weekday nursing hours are real; so are the gaps.

Massapequa Center Rehabilitation & Nursing runs 320 certified beds in Amityville under for-profit LLC ownership, and its record is genuinely mixed. The good news sits in two places: nurse staffing averages 3.90 hours per resident day, just above the national figure, and annual turnover of 22.6% is roughly half the national rate, that kind of retention usually means consistent caregivers who know the residents. Weekend coverage, though, drops about 9% below its own weekday staffing, so families should ask how that gap gets handled. Inspectors last visited in December 2024 and found 11 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. Quality measures score well; staffing stars don't.

Pelham Parkway runs on 2.60 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 6% under its own weekday level. That thin coverage is the main reason its staffing star sits at 2 out of 5. The record shows 24 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related; the last inspection was in August 2025. Turnover, at 32.8%, actually beats the national 45.8%, so workers tend to stay. Quality measures score a perfect 5, which tells you the clinical numbers look strong even where the floor coverage doesn't.

Sky View runs 192 certified beds in Croton-on-Hudson, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.03 hours per resident per day, roughly 22% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 9% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 25% against a national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses you meet are more likely to still be there next year. The current inspection record shows 12 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with no abuse citations; the most recent survey was March 3, 2026. Quality measures score well, but low staffing hours and that harm-level finding are what pull the overall picture down.

Aaron Manor runs about 3.63 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 6% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 15% below its own weekday level, so the hours thin out exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 58.5% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff left within a year. The good news is real: a 4-star health inspection rating, a 5-star quality measure rating, and 14 deficiencies on record with none at the harm level and nothing abuse-related, last inspected in October 2024. For-profit LLC ownership with 140 beds. Solid care quality on paper, but the staffing pattern is where I'd focus your questions.

East Haven runs lean on nurse staffing, 2.83 hours per resident day, roughly 27% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 14% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. The 200-bed for-profit home has 23 deficiencies on its current record, including one abuse-related citation, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and CMS has fined it five times for $14,819 total. Turnover sits at 32.2%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some stability in the workforce even as hours per resident lag. Its last inspection was February 2025.

Ten Broeck Commons runs 258 beds in Lake Katrine under individual for-profit ownership, and its staffing is the number to sit with. At 3.12 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 19 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 15 percent below its own weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits or needs help mostly on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover is the bright spot: 22 percent against a national 45.8 means aides and nurses tend to stay. Sixteen deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with an inspection dated January 12, 2026.

Union Plaza Care Center runs 280 certified beds in Flushing under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers pull in two directions. The nurses give each resident about 3.19 hours of care per day, roughly 17 percent below the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 9 percent thinner than weekdays, so coverage depends on when you visit. Against that, turnover sits at 29.5 percent versus 45.8 percent nationally, meaning the staff who are there tend to stay. Nine deficiencies show on the current record with none at the harm level, though two are abuse-related, and the last inspection was August 2024.

Canterbury Woods runs on a solid staffing base, 4.48 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and its most recent inspection in January 2025 backs that up with no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level. The catch is what's in the record: nine deficiencies total, three of them abuse-related, and a quality measure score of one out of five stars despite the four-star inspection and staffing marks. Staff turnover sits at 54.4%, well above the 45.8% national figure, and weekend coverage dips about 12% below weekday levels. Church-affiliated nonprofit ownership at 50 beds suggests a smaller, mission-driven operation, but the abuse citations and turnover are worth asking about directly.

The New York Center for Rehabilitation & Nursing in Astoria runs 280 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely strong, a five-star health inspection rating, just three deficiencies on the current record, and none of them at the harm or jeopardy level. The catch is staffing: 4.03 nurse hours per resident day sits about 4% above the national average, but the home only earns three stars there, and weekend coverage drops roughly 15% below its own weekday level. One abuse-related deficiency also appears in the record. Overall nursing hours look fine on paper; the thinner weekend shifts and that abuse citation are what keep this from being a clean bill of health.

Sprain Brook Manor runs on more nursing hours than most homes, 4.36 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and its staff tends to stay, with turnover at 24% versus roughly 46% nationally. Weekend coverage does dip about 16% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. The inspection record shows nine deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the last state visit in May 2024; staffing and quality measures both sit at four stars out of five. It's a for-profit partnership, which is worth knowing when you're comparing it to nonprofit options nearby.

Split Rock runs 240 beds in the Bronx under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits slightly under the national average at 3.77 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends drop about 18% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 35.1% against a national 45.8%. Inspections look solid, a 4/5 star rating, 11 deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, but three abuse-related citations are worth asking about directly. Last inspection was September 2024. Quality measures score 5/5; staffing stars come in at 3/5, which tracks with those weekend gaps.

Lewis County General's nursing unit runs on county money, and the staffing numbers show it: 4.41 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14 percent above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping about 16 percent below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 42.9 percent, a touch better than the 45.8 percent national figure. What pulls the record down is the inspection side, 16 deficiencies on file, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus a single $160,046 fine. The most recent inspection was July 2024, so the picture is current.

United Helpers Canton runs on leaner nurse staffing than most homes, 3.03 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends about 20% thinner than weekdays. That's the tradeoff you're weighing against a clean inspection record: nine deficiencies, none at the harm level, and a survey from August 2024. Turnover sits at 38.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether the people caring for your relative stick around long enough to learn their routines. One abuse-related deficiency is on the books, so ask about it directly. The nonprofit ownership structure tends to mean steadier management than a for-profit chain, though it doesn't change the math on daily coverage.

Seneca Hill Manor runs about 3.52 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 9% under the national average, so care here leans on a thinner staffing margin than most homes. Weekends dip further, about 16% below the facility's own weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover sits at 40.6%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, and the latest inspection in October 2024 found ten deficiencies with none rising to harm or jeopardy, though two were abuse-related, which deserves a direct question about how they were resolved.

St. John's runs 4.24 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, and its staffing and quality-measure ratings both come in at 4 out of 5. That's the good part. The health inspection record is where it falls apart: a 1 out of 5, with 30 deficiencies on file, three of them at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. Two fines totaling $141,034 sit on the record, and the most recent inspection was June 9, 2025. Staff turnover is 46.8%, essentially the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 10% below weekday levels, so the hours look strong on paper, but consistency and safety are the real questions here.

Pine Forest Car Center runs on 3.15 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average, and weekends drop about 15% below its own weekday levels. That staffing score still comes out strong on CMS's scale because turnover is just 16.1%, well below the 45.8% national figure, so the hours it does budget tend to go to people who stay. The inspection record is the problem: a 1/5 health inspection rating, 21 deficiencies including two at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, plus one fine of $15,733. The most recent inspection was February 2025.

Loretto runs 583 beds as a nonprofit, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.67 hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 11% thinner than weekdays. That's a real gap if your family visits on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover is 37.6%, which is better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who stay tend to stay. The current record shows 39 deficiencies, including two tied to abuse, though none at the harm or jeopardy level. The last inspection was August 2025. Quality measures score well, but the inspection record is where the concerns concentrate. Ask about the abuse-related findings and weekend coverage before deciding.

Medina Memorial Hospital SNF runs a small 30-bed unit, and its staffing is genuinely better than most: 4.36 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13 percent above the national average, with weekends only about 7 percent lighter than weekdays, a modest dip. The trade-offs show up elsewhere. Staff turnover sits at 52.9 percent against a national 45.8, so the people delivering that care keep changing. Inspections in May 2024 turned up 8 deficiencies; none rose to harm or jeopardy, but 2 were abuse-related, and the quality measure rating lands at 1 out of 5. Strong hands-on hours, uneven consistency and outcomes.

Northern Metropolitan runs lean on nurse hours, 3.62 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and the gap widens on weekends, when staffing drops about 14% below its own weekday level. What stands out is retention: 19.5% turnover is less than half the national rate, so the people showing up are largely the same people, which matters more at a smaller 120-bed nonprofit than raw hours suggest. The record shows 15 deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, with the most recent inspection in July 2024. Quality measures score well; the inspection and staffing ratings sit at 2 out of 5.
