Chapin Home For The Aging runs a tight ship on inspections, a clean five-star record with just ten deficiencies on file, none of them serious enough to cause harm and none tied to abuse. The last state visit was in September 2024, so the paperwork is current. Where it slips is daily care coverage: 3.19 nurse hours per resident, roughly 17% under the national average, and weekends run about 9% thinner than weekdays. For a 220-bed nonprofit in Queens, the pattern is familiar, solid oversight, thinner hands-on time, especially Saturdays and Sundays.
Bezalel Rehabilitation and Nursing Center runs 120 certified beds in Far Rockaway as a nonprofit corporation. Nurse staffing sits at 3.28 hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 8 percent below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit.
What stands out favorably is turnover: 22.4 percent versus a national average of 45.8 percent, meaning aides and nurses largely stay put, which matters for residents who need consistent hands. The record shows 13 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related.
The last inspection was March 2026, so the picture is recent. Quality measure scores come in at 2 out of 5 stars, which is where the weaker numbers cluster.
Presbyterian Home for Central New York runs 242 beds as a church-affiliated nonprofit, and its record splits along staffing lines. The federal staffing rating comes in at 1 out of 5, meaning nurse hours per resident sit well below what CMS expects, that's the number I'd push on first, because daily coverage shapes everything else. Inspections in April 2024 turned up 24 deficiencies, none rising to actual harm or jeopardy, but two tied to abuse. Quality measures also land at 2 out of 5. A nonprofit mission doesn't automatically translate into enough aides on the floor, and here the staffing figure is the one asking the loudest question.
Mvhs Rehabilitation And Nursing Center runs about 3.42 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average, and weekends drop another 20% below its own weekday staffing. That gap matters more than the raw number, because care doesn't pause on Saturdays. Annual turnover sits at 50.8%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, so a lot of the people providing that care are still learning the building. The current inspection record shows 12 deficiencies with none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related, and the last survey was in July 2025. As a nonprofit with 202 beds, it isn't chasing margins, but the staffing pattern and quality measure score suggest room to improve.
Brooklyn United Methodist Church Home runs on thinner nurse coverage than most places, about 3.33 hours per resident day against a national average near 3.86, and weekends get even leaner, dropping roughly 14% below its own weekday numbers. Inspectors cited 37 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, and the last inspection was in January 2025. Staff turnover sits at 35.2%, which is actually better than the national 45.8%, and this is a nonprofit, not a chain. The quality measure rating of 1 out of 5 is the part worth pressing the administrator on when you visit.
Highlands Living Center is a 122-bed nonprofit in Pittsford, and its staffing sits about 8% under the national average at 3.55 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends run roughly 15% thinner than weekdays, so coverage depends on when you visit. Annual turnover of 60.3% is well above the 45.8% norm, meaning the people caring for residents change often.
The current record shows 19 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. State inspectors were last in on February 19, 2025, and all three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, landed at 2 out of 5. Ask about weekend coverage and how they screen and supervise staff.
The staffing average at Jewish Home of Central New York looks fine on paper, 3.90 nurse hours per resident day, just above the national figure of 3.86, but that headline number hides a real drop on weekends, when coverage runs roughly 19% below what the home staffs on weekdays. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 42 deficiencies, four tied to abuse and two serious enough to put residents in harm's way, plus a $121,573 fine and a March 2026 inspection that earned a single star. Compare that to the quality measure rating of 5 out of 5, and you have a home where the charted clinical numbers look strong while the day-to-day oversight record does not.
Eddy Village Green runs 192 beds as a nonprofit, and its staff turnover of 39.1% actually beats the national average of 45.8%. That's worth something. But the federal staffing rating sits at 1 out of 5, so whatever retention exists isn't translating into enough hours at the bedside. The inspection record is the bigger problem: 26 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse. One fine totaling $97,383 is on the books, and the most recent inspection was April 2025. Quality measures land mid-range at 3 stars, but with staffing scored at the bottom and a harm-level citation in the recent past, ask hard questions about supervision and who's actually on the floor overnight.
Alice Hyde runs a tight clinical ship on paper, its quality measure rating sits at 4 out of 5, and the staffing rating matches. But the hours aren't quite there: 3.67 nurse hours per resident day lands about 5% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 10% below the home's own weekday coverage. That matters, since turnover is 57.1% against a national 45.8%. The inspection record is the real weight, 19 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level, six tied to abuse. The most recent survey closed in December 2025, so it's current, but a 2-star inspection rating alongside that count tells you the problems are recent enough to still be shaping care.
Aurelia Osborn Fox Memorial Hospital sits in Oneonta with 131 certified beds and a nonprofit owner. Staffing runs slightly under the national average at 3.80 hours per resident day, and weekends drop about 18% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The bigger issue is the inspection record: 29 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating. Turnover at 37.1% actually beats the national 45.8%, which suggests staff stick around. Ask about that harm-level finding and what changed after the April 2025 inspection.
Wesley Health Care Center runs 356 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.00 hours per resident day, about 4% above the national average of 3.86. That margin shrinks on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 17% below the home's own weekday level, so the weekday-to-weekend gap is worth asking about directly. Annual turnover is 46.8%, nearly identical to the national 45.8%. The current record shows 19 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection dated November 19, 2024. CMS rates staffing 4 out of 5 and quality measures 3 out of 5, but health inspections just 2 out of 5, the weaker inspection history is the main thing pulling the overall picture down.
Jennie B Richmond Chaffee in Springville runs a nonprofit home of 80 beds where the day-to-day staffing is genuinely strong, 4.04 nurse hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, and its 32.6% turnover is well below the 45.8% typical elsewhere, which matters because consistent aides know the residents. Weekends thin out about 15% from weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. The harder reading is the inspection record: 14 deficiencies, including two at harm level and four tied to abuse, plus a $68,591 fine, and the state's last visit was June 2025. Good care on paper, uneven oversight in practice.
St Johnland runs a 250-bed nonprofit home in Kings Park, and the staffing numbers are better than average: 4.14 nurse hours per resident day, about 7 percent above the national figure, with turnover at 39 percent versus 45.8 percent nationally. Weekends dip roughly 9 percent below weekday coverage, though. What pulls the record down is inspection history, 21 deficiencies on file, including two at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus a $30,817 fine and a one-star health inspection rating, with the last survey in December 2024. The quality measure score is strong and staffing is decent, but the enforcement record is where a family should focus questions.
The Eastern Star home in Oriskany runs a nonprofit operation with 86 certified beds, and its staffing numbers are where the trouble starts: 3.42 nurse hours per resident day, about 11% under the national average, with weekend coverage dipping roughly 3% below its own weekday level. CMS gives staffing a single star, and that 65% annual turnover, well above the 45.8% national figure, means the people providing that care keep changing. Thirteen deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was November 2024. Quality measures also land at two stars. Nothing here suggests danger, but the pattern is thin coverage and a lot of churn.
Our Lady Of Mercy Life Center runs 160 certified beds as a nonprofit, but the numbers show some strain. Nurse staffing sits at 3.62 hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 8% below the home's own weekday levels. Annual turnover is 50.3% against a national 45.8%.
The inspection record is where things get concerning: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, with 25 deficiencies on file, including four tied to abuse. None reached harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was October 15, 2024. Quality and staffing measures both rated 3 out of 5. With half the staff turning over yearly and thin weekend coverage, those inspection findings deserve a closer look before you decide.
Finger Lakes Center For Living sits in Auburn with 80 certified beds, run by a nonprofit corporation. The staffing numbers are a real strength: 4.23 nurse hours per resident day, about 10% above the national average, and turnover at 33.7% beats the 45.8% national figure by a wide margin. Weekend coverage dips roughly 13% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about. The trouble is the inspection record, 11 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse, and $101,300 in fines across two cases, with the most recent inspection in September 2024. Quality and staffing scores look strong on paper; the survey history tells a harder story.
Highpointe on Michigan runs one of the stronger staffing operations you'll see in Buffalo, 5.41 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 40 percent above the national average, and its 31.6 percent turnover beats the national rate by a wide margin. The problems sit elsewhere. Inspectors have cited 30 deficiencies on the current record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, and the health inspection rating is 1 out of 5. One fine totaling $129,149 has been assessed, with the last inspection in September 2024. Strong hands-on care, weak compliance history. If you're considering this one, ask directly how the abuse-related findings were resolved.
Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hospital Extended Care in Penn Yan runs on thinner staffing than most homes in the country, 3.57 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and it gets thinner on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 10% below its own weekday level. The bigger number to sit with is turnover: 68.3% of staff left over the past year, well above the 45.8% national rate, which means the people caring for residents are often new to the building. Federal inspectors cited 16 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and fined the home $21,733. The most recent inspection was in November 2024.
Wells Nursing Home runs on thinner staffing than most places: 3.23 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 19% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays. That pattern matters, because falls and infections don't take Saturdays off. The inspection record shows 16 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with one fine of $8,512 and a survey completed in September 2024. Quality measures score mid-range, but the staffing picture and the harm-level findings are the parts worth asking about directly.
Oneida Health Rehabilitation And Extended Care runs 160 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its nursing hours come to 3.17 per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 15% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record shows 26 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus a single fine of $16,153, with the most recent survey dated January 27, 2026. No abuse-related citations appear. The staffing rating reflects those hours directly; the two-star inspection result reflects the deficiency history.
