Bainbridge runs lean on direct care: 3.10 nurse hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 15% below its own weekdays, so a Saturday shift has less coverage than a Tuesday. What offsets that is consistency, 35.3% turnover beats the 45.8% national figure, meaning fewer unfamiliar faces and less retraining churn. The record is fairly clean for a 200-bed for-profit in the Bronx: six deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related and worth asking about directly. A July 2025 inspection is recent enough to trust. The question to bring on your tour is how that thin weekday staffing actually feels at 3 a.m.

Laconia Nursing Home runs 240 beds in the Bronx under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.56 hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average, with weekends dropping about 11% below its own weekday levels. That dip matters, since weekends are when problems often surface unnoticed. The inspection record shows 15 deficiencies, none at the harm level, though two are abuse-related, and the health inspection rating sits at 2 out of 5. What stands out in the other direction is turnover: 16.1% against a national average near 46%, which suggests a staff that mostly sticks around. Weigh that stability against thinner weekend coverage before deciding.

Shaker Place is a county-owned home in Albany with 250 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits just below the national average, 3.83 hours per resident day against 3.86. That gap is small on paper, but weekends run about 19 percent lighter than weekdays, which is when families tend to visit and notice. The current inspection record shows 19 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though seven are abuse-related, a category worth asking about directly. Its last full inspection was in October 2023. County ownership can mean steadier funding and public accountability, but it also means budget cycles and politics shape staffing decisions rather than a single operator's priorities.

Amsterdam Nursing Home Corp runs 409 beds as a nonprofit, and its strongest numbers are on the clinical side, a 5-out-of-5 quality measure rating and 4 out of 5 on health inspections, with the most recent survey in May 2025. The 14 deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related. Where it gives ground is staffing: 3.40 nurse hours per resident day sits about 12% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 11% thinner than weekdays. What offsets that is retention, 28.6% turnover against a national 45.8% means aides and nurses tend to stay, which matters more at 2 a.m. than a staffing star does.

Good Samaritan in Sayville runs on a leaner nurse staffing budget than most homes, 3.03 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That shortfall shows up on weekends too, when coverage dips about 8% below its own weekday levels. What offsets that is stability: turnover sits at 28.6%, well under the 45.8% national figure, so the caregivers you meet are more likely to still be there next year. The inspection record is current as of April 2026, with 8 deficiencies and none rising to harm or jeopardy, though one is abuse-related and worth asking about directly. Church-affiliated nonprofit ownership means no shareholder pressure, but it doesn't change the staffing math.

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.

Chatham Nursing & Rehabilitation runs a tight ship on inspections, one deficiency on record, nothing at the harm level, and a February 2026 survey that's still fresh. Turnover sits at 34.8%, well under the national 45.8%, which matters more than any single number for how consistently your family member gets the same faces. The trade-offs are in the day-to-day: nurse staffing lands about 7% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 13% below the home's own weekday level, so the coverage you see on a Tuesday isn't what you get on a Sunday. The federal quality measure rating of 2 out of 5 is the other soft spot worth asking about directly.

Stokes County Nursing Home runs 40 certified beds in Danbury under for-profit LLC ownership. Its nurse staffing sits at 3.54 hours per resident day, about 8% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 15% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Retention is the stronger story: 25% annual turnover against a national 45.8% means aides and nurses here tend to stay. The current record shows 15 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. State inspectors were last on site in November 2025. Quality measures score low; staffing scores high.

Woodbury Wellness Center runs a 112-bed for-profit home in Hampstead, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.51 hours per resident day, roughly 17% above the national average. That's a real cushion, but weekends run about 13% lighter than weekdays, so the coverage your family sees on a Tuesday may not be what shows up on a Sunday. Staff turnover is 49.1%, slightly worse than the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers notice changes sooner. Inspections turned up 13 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus one fine of $15,646. The most recent inspection was in November 2025, so the record is current.

Fair Haven Home in Bostic runs 30 certified beds, and its last inspection in July 2025 turned up three deficiencies, none of them serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, and none tied to abuse. That's a clean record for a for-profit corporation. Nurse staffing sits at 3.64 hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average, and weekends dip about 9% below the home's own weekday coverage. What stands out is turnover: 28.1% against a national average near 46%, meaning this place holds onto its caregivers far better than most. Inspection history is strong; quality measures are middling. The weak spot is raw staffing hours, not safety or stability.

Penn Nursing Center runs a lean nursing floor: 3.06 hours of nurse staffing per resident each day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekends drop about 8% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays. Turnover is the brighter spot, 37.9% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. Inspections back that up. The home carries a single deficiency on its current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and its last inspection was recent. Five stars on both health inspections and quality measures, three on staffing. The care being delivered looks sound; the question is whether there are consistently enough hands to deliver it.

Shepherd of the Valley Liberty runs on decent nurse coverage, 4.34 hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average, and that shows up in a four-star staffing rating. The catch is weekends, when hours drop about 13% below the home's own weekday level, and a 50.6% annual turnover rate that sits above the national figure. On inspections, the record shows 18 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse; the last survey was September 2025. Church-affiliated nonprofit ownership with 79 beds rounds out the picture.

Pleasant View runs about 3.08 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a fifth below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 9% below its own weekday coverage, so the leanest shifts are the ones when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 33.7%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, meaning the staff who are there tend to stay. Inspections look solid on paper: 4 of 5 stars, ten deficiencies logged with none at harm level, though one is abuse-related and the last full inspection was in mid-2023. Corporate-owned, 121 beds. Worth asking how they fill weekend gaps.

Ashtabula County Nursing Home runs 133 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits right at the national average, 3.88 hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below its own weekday level, though turnover at 34.5% is notably better than the 45.8% national figure. What holds it back is the inspection record: 20 deficiencies currently on file, four of them at the harm or jeopardy level, plus one abuse-related citation. The health inspection rating still comes in at 4 out of 5, but that last survey was August 2023, so the picture may have shifted since.

Crestmont North runs 71 certified beds in Lakewood under individual for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the main thing to know. At 3.28 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 15% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 13% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Turnover is 42.3%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some stability in who's actually on the floor. The health inspection record shows 35 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in May 2025. Strong quality measures and a middling inspection history sit alongside that thin staffing.

Fulton Manor runs on more nursing hours than most homes, 4.10 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and that shows up in its top staffing rating. But weekends run about 14% thinner than weekdays, so the coverage your family sees on a Tuesday isn't what shows up on a Sunday. Turnover sits at 47.1%, slightly worse than the national 45.8%. The inspection record is recent, April 2026, with 19 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related. Quality measures score 2 out of 5, which is where the weakness lives. Nonprofit ownership, solid inspections, real staffing, but ask about weekends and those two abuse citations.

Welsh Home The is a nonprofit in Rocky River with 79 certified beds, and its inspection record is genuinely strong, a perfect health inspection rating, a perfect quality measure rating, and eight total deficiencies with none rising to harm or jeopardy. Staffing runs 4.19 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, though weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday levels. The two numbers worth sitting with are turnover at 58.3% against a national 45.8%, and two abuse-related deficiencies on the current record. Turnover that high means the people caring for your family member keep changing. The last full inspection was January 2024, so the picture is reasonably current.
