Staff turnover
33%

The Jewish Home of Rochester runs 362 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.80 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national figure of 3.86. That said, weekends dip about 13% below its own weekday coverage, so the care your family member gets on a Saturday won't match a Tuesday. Staff turnover is 32.8%, well under the national 45.8%, which means aides and nurses tend to stick around. On inspections, seven deficiencies appear on the current record, three tied to abuse and none reaching harm or jeopardy level. The most recent inspection closed in December 2025, so the picture is current.

Park Ridge runs on more nursing hours than most homes in the country, 4.36 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and that staff shows up with less churn than typical, with turnover at 41.9% versus 45.8% nationally. Weekend coverage dips about 14% below weekday levels, which is common but worth knowing if your visits fall on Saturdays or Sundays. The inspection record shows 17 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none tied to abuse, and the last full inspection came in April 2024. As a nonprofit, this is a home where the numbers mostly hold up.

Edna Tina Wilson Living Center is a 120-bed nonprofit in Rochester, and its inspection record is the strongest thing about it: five deficiencies on file, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, and its most recent inspection was in April 2025. Nurse staffing sits at 3.87 hours per resident day, essentially identical to the national average of 3.86, though weekends run about 13 percent thinner than weekdays, a dip worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 37.1 percent against a national average of 45.8 percent, which suggests people tend to stay. On the federal star ratings, inspections and quality measures both come in at the top.

The Church Home in Rochester runs on more nursing hours than most places, 4.23 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and its staff tends to stay, with turnover at 38.8% versus 45.8% nationally. Both matter, because consistent caregivers know the residents. Weekend coverage does dip about 9% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. Inspectors cited 12 deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm level, but three tied to abuse, which is worth asking about directly. The last inspection was in January 2024, so the record is reasonably current. As a nonprofit, it answers to a board rather than shareholders.

The Friendly Home runs 4.34 nurse staffing hours per resident day, about 12 percent above the national average, and weekend coverage dips roughly 14 percent below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover sits right at the national figure, 45.4 percent against 45.8. On its current record are 18 deficiencies, none flagged at the harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related, worth asking about directly. Its last inspection came in December 2025, so the picture is recent. Quality measure scores are strong; health inspection scores are middling. This is a nonprofit with 200 beds that invests in staffing and generally delivers, but the abuse citations and weekend drop-off are the two things I'd want answered before deciding.

Unity Living Center runs on 120 certified beds in Rochester under nonprofit ownership, and its staffing numbers are genuinely better than most: 4.08 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with a 29.4% turnover rate that sits well under the 45.8% national figure. But weekends run about 10% leaner than weekdays, so care can thin out when families visit. The bigger issue is inspections, a 2/5 health inspection rating, 11 deficiencies with one at the harm level, and a $12,868 fine, all from a survey completed in July 2024. Strong quality scores and staffing don't erase a recent citation that put a resident in jeopardy.

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.

The Highlands At Brighton runs on a nonprofit model with 145 certified beds, and staffing is where it stands out: 5.15 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average of 3.86. That extra coverage isn't evenly spread, though, weekends run about 16% leaner than weekdays, and annual turnover sits at 47.3%, slightly above the national 45.8%, so the faces change fairly often. The current inspection record shows 25 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but three tied to abuse. Inspectors were last in on August 13, 2025, and the home scored 3 out of 5 on both health inspections and quality measures, with a 4 on staffing.

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.

Hamilton Manor runs a tight ship on inspections, nine deficiencies on record, none rising to harm or jeopardy, and the state was last in the building in June 2025. But look at the day-to-day numbers and a different picture shows up. Nurse staffing sits at 3.38 hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average, and weekends drop about 10% below the home's own weekday levels. With 51.2% annual turnover, that thin coverage gets harder to hold steady. This is a for-profit corporate home with 40 beds, so there's less slack when someone calls out. The inspection record says the place is run carefully; the staffing data says it's running lean.

The Hurlbut runs a 160-bed for-profit home in Rochester, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.34 hours per resident day, roughly 14 percent under the national average. Weekends thin out further, running about 20 percent below its own weekday coverage, so the hours when families tend to visit are also the hours with the fewest nurses on the floor. Staff turnover is 51.2 percent against a national 45.8, meaning more than half the nursing staff turns over each year. Its record shows 13 deficiencies, none at the harm level, one tied to abuse, with the last inspection on July 31, 2025.

Woodside Manor is a small for-profit home in Rochester, 44 beds, individually owned, and it was inspected recently, in August 2025, with no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related on its record. The staffing number looks fine at first glance, but it's essentially dead even with the national average, and the real trouble is underneath: more than six in ten staff left over the past year, well above the 45.8% national rate, and weekend coverage drops roughly 13% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Fourteen deficiencies sit on the current record, none severe. Families should ask how the home keeps weekends covered when turnover is this high.

The Brightonian runs 54 beds in Rochester under corporate ownership, and its last inspection in February 2025 came back with a clean health inspection score. That's not nothing. But look at the rest: 18 deficiencies on the current record, three of them tied to abuse, none at the level that caused actual harm. Staffing sits at 3.95 hours per resident day, just slightly above the national average, yet weekends drop about 20% below the home's own weekday numbers, and annual turnover hits 62.5% against a national 45.8%. Workers are cycling through fast. The state came recently and found no harm-level problems, which matters. Whether the same holds next time depends on who's still on the floor.

The Pearl Nursing Center of Rochester runs on 3.04 nurse staffing hours per resident day, about a fifth below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 11 percent below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 51.5 percent against a 45.8 percent national figure, which means more than half the nursing staff turns over annually. Its record shows 40 deficiencies, including two tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in June 2024; the low inspection and staffing ratings reflect that history, even though the quality measure rating is strong.

Latta Road Nursing Home West is a small for-profit home in Rochester, just 40 certified beds, and its inspection record is genuinely clean. Four deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, no abuse findings, and a January 2025 inspection that's still recent. The trouble sits on the staffing side. Total nurse hours come in around 9% under the national average, weekends run roughly 13% thinner than weekdays, and annual turnover of 62.2% means most of the people caring for your family member are relatively new and may not stay. A strong inspection history tells you the home has been operating safely; the staffing numbers tell you how much attention each resident can realistically get on a Sunday afternoon.

Monroe Community Hospital is a county-run home with 566 beds, and its numbers tell two different stories. The clinical quality measures look good, four stars there, but the inspection record is where things fall apart: 11 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, and two tied to abuse. Fines total nearly $95,000. Staffing sits just barely above the national average, and weekends run about 17% thinner than weekdays, which matters when you're thinking about who's actually on the floor on a Saturday. Turnover, at 45.3%, is roughly in line with the national rate. The last full inspection was in December 2024.

Kirkhaven is a 147-bed nonprofit home in Rochester, and the staffing numbers are the first thing I'd want you to see. CMS gives it one star for staffing and one star for health inspections, which tells you the day-to-day coverage and the survey record have both been weak. The current inspection history lists 30 deficiencies, including three tied to abuse and one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy. That's a lot of findings for a single building, and the last full inspection was in December 2024, so this isn't stale history. Fines total $8,278, a modest figure that suggests regulators cited problems without stacking major penalties. The quality measure score sits at three stars, but strong resident outcomes don't mean much if there aren't enough hands on the floor and the survey record keeps flagging safety.

Lilac Manor runs 200 certified beds in Rochester under individual for-profit ownership, and its staffing picture is thinner than most: 3.49 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends about 15% below its own weekday level. That gap matters because staff turnover sits at 70%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people covering those thinner weekend shifts are often new. The current inspection record shows 37 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, though none at the harm or jeopardy level; the last full inspection was June 2024. CMS rates its health inspection results at 1 out of 5 stars, which is where the trouble concentrates, not in the quality measures.

The Brook at High Falls runs 28 certified beds in Rochester under individual for-profit ownership, and its staffing tells a complicated story. Total nurse coverage sits at 3.81 hours per resident day, just under the national average, but weekends drop about 9% below its own weekday numbers, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The bigger flag is turnover: 76.2% annually against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents this year likely won't be there next year. Its last inspection was January 2026, with 24 deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related. Quality measures score well above its inspection and staffing marks.

Latta Road Nursing Home East runs a 40-bed operation in Rochester, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.48 hours per resident day, about 10% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 8% below what the home itself manages on weekdays, meaning coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Staff turnover lands at 45.7%, essentially matching the national rate, so that's not the outlier here. What stands out more is the inspection record: 17 deficiencies currently on file, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, along with a single fine of $8,979. The last inspection was in April 2025, so the picture is reasonably current rather than stale.
