Brothers Of Mercy Nursing & Rehabilitation Center

Clarence, NY · Erie County

CMS 3/5 240 beds Non-profit Medicaid
Nurse hours
3.97 /day
Staff turnover
50%
Serious cites
0

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 Rehab & Residential Health Care Center

Flushing, NY · Queens County

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
31%
Serious cites
0

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 For Rehabilitation And Nursing

Nurse hours

Staff turnover

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

Far Rockaway, NY · Queens County

CMS 2/5 200 beds For-profit Medicaid
Nurse hours

Serious cites
0

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, Manhattan

New York, NY · New York County

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
31%
Serious cites
0

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 For Nursing & Rehabilitation

Bronx, NY · Bronx County

CMS 2/5 243 beds For-profit Medicaid
Nurse hours

Staff turnover

Serious cites

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.

Norwegian Christian Home And Health Center

Brooklyn, NY · Kings County

CMS 4/5 135 beds Non-profit Medicaid
Nurse hours

Staff turnover

Serious cites
0

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

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
50%

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 Nursing Home

Nurse hours

Staff turnover

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

Niskayuna, NY · Schenectady County

CMS 4/5 112 beds For-profit Medicaid
Nurse hours

Staff turnover

Serious cites

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.

Bath, NY · Steuben County

CMS 5/5 120 beds Non-profit Medicaid
Nurse hours

Staff turnover
45%

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.

New City, NY · Rockland County

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
40%
Serious cites
0

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 Nursing And Rehabilitation C

Nurse hours

Staff turnover

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

Warwick, NY · Orange County

Staff turnover
24%
Serious cites
0

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.

Clapps Nursing Center in Pleasant Garden runs a tight inspection record, zero deficiencies on file, none of them serious, and a clean survey as recent as September 2025. That's the strongest part of its profile, and the 5-star health inspection rating reflects it, with quality measures also scoring well at 4 stars. Staffing is where it slips. At 3.67 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 5% under the national average, weekends drop roughly 7% below its own weekday levels, and turnover sits at 47.5%, slightly worse than the 45.8% national figure. For a family weighing this home, the question is whether consistent care holds up when the same faces aren't always there.

St. Gerard's runs on unusually strong staffing for a 34-bed home, 4.67 nurse hours per resident day, about a fifth more than the national average, with turnover at 34% against a national 46%. That's the good news, and it's real. The problem sits in the inspection record: ten deficiencies on file, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, four tied to abuse, and a $48,233 fine. Weekend coverage also drops roughly 14% below weekday levels. The most recent inspection was July 2025, so the findings are current, not stale. Strong hands on deck, but a troubled survey history behind them.

Sanctuary Wadsworth runs a tight ship on inspections, a five-star health inspection rating with just five deficiencies on record, none at the harm level and none tied to abuse. The last full look from the state came in October 2023. Where it gives ground is staffing: 3.79 nurse hours per resident day sits just under the national average, and weekends run about 11% thinner than weekdays, which is when you'd want to check whether call lights get answered as quickly. Turnover at 42.4% is slightly better than the typical home. Corporate-owned and 79 beds, this is a place that passes its tests but asks families to pay attention on Saturdays.

Delaware Court Health Care Center

Delaware, OH · Delaware County

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
31%

Delaware Court runs 3.64 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average, and weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday staffing. That's a real gap, though staff turnover of 31.1% is well below the 45.8% national figure, people tend to stay here longer than at the typical home. The record shows 33 deficiencies, including 2 abuse-related, with no harm or jeopardy citations, and the most recent inspection was February 2026. Corporate-owned and Medicare-certified for 75 beds, it earns solid marks on staffing and quality measures but a weaker inspection rating, so the picture is mixed rather than alarming.

Regina Health Center runs 4.38 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average, and its weekend staffing dips only about 7% below its own weekday level, a smaller drop than many homes show. Turnover sits at 47.5%, a touch above the 45.8% national figure, so the staffing picture isn't perfectly stable even with the extra hours on the floor. Inspectors were last in on May 22, 2024, and found 13 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though two were abuse-related. This is a nonprofit with 99 certified beds, and the inspection history reads better than the typical Ohio home.

Staff turnover

Serious cites

Park Village runs a for-profit, individually owned home with 90 certified beds in Dover. Nurse staffing sits at 4.19 hours per resident day, about 9% above the national average, and the staff retention is genuinely strong, 33.7% turnover against a national 45.8% means workers tend to stick around here. The tradeoff shows up in the inspection record: 16 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level, and a single fine of $77,552. Weekend staffing dips roughly 12% below weekday levels, so coverage gets thinner when families are most likely to visit. The most recent inspection was April 22, 2026, so the record is current. Strong staffing and retention, but that harm-level finding and the fine are worth asking about directly.
