Every Medicaid-certified nursing home in Rochester, NY
Nurse staffing at Rochester Center runs 3.27 hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 18 percent below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 61.1 percent against a national average of 45.8 percent, meaning more than half the nursing team leaves within a year. On the inspection side, the record shows 30 deficiencies, two of them harm-level and one abuse-related, with a $9,315 fine and a January 2025 inspection. This is a for-profit LLC, and the low staffing and inspection ratings line up with the turnover.
Waterview Heights runs 229 beds in Rochester under for-profit partnership ownership, and the numbers here deserve real attention. Nurse staffing sits at 3.51 hours per resident day, about 9% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 20% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so the hours when families visit aren't the hours when coverage is strongest. Staff turnover hits 67% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents this year likely won't be there next year.
The record shows 86 deficiencies, 24 of them at harm or jeopardy level, with four tied to abuse. CMS has fined the home three times for $804,844 total and placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for the country's most troubled homes.
Blossom Health Care Center runs on 3.42 nursing hours per resident day, about 11% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 21% below what the home staffs on weekdays. That thin coverage shows up in the numbers: 67.9% annual turnover, well above the 45.8% national rate, so the aides and nurses at the bedside keep changing. Inspectors cited 36 deficiencies on the current record, four tied to abuse, though none rose to actual harm or jeopardy. The last visit was October 2024. With 80 beds and corporate for-profit ownership, this is a home where you should ask directly how they cover weekends and how long their current staff have actually been there.
