Heritage Park runs on 2.34 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 39% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday levels. That thin coverage is the main story here, and it lines up with ten deficiencies on the current record, three of them abuse-related, though none at the harm or jeopardy level. The nonprofit ownership doesn't change the math: turnover sits at 46.3%, essentially matching the national rate, and the last health inspection was in March 2024. If you're weighing this one, ask how they cover weekends and what's changed since that inspection.
Baptist Health in Scotia runs 262 beds as a nonprofit, and its staffing is where the trouble starts: 3.12 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 9% below its own weekdays. That gap matters because aides and nurses are thinner when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 52.7% tops the national 45.8%, so the people providing that care keep changing. The current record shows 17 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was in October 2023. A nonprofit with a stable building and a thin, churning floor staff is the honest picture here.
Heritage Green runs on 2.42 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly a third below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 11% below its own weekday coverage. That staffing shortfall shows up in the federal stars: one out of five, while inspections and quality measures each sit at two. Staff turnover is 51.1%, higher than the 45.8% national rate, so caregivers are cycling through faster than average. The current record carries 16 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none involve abuse. This is a nonprofit corporation with 134 certified beds and a recent inspection, dated February 27, 2026, a lot of eyes on the place, but the hours at the bedside tell the bigger story.
St Patrick's Home runs on 3.38 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average, and the gap widens on weekends when coverage drops about 19% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits near 60%, well above the national figure, which matters because 18 deficiencies are on the current record, including one at the harm level and five tied to abuse. A $51,500 fine and a February 2024 inspection round out the picture. The quality measures look strong and the nonprofit church ownership is stable, but thin staffing and high turnover are the throughline here, the kind of thing that quietly shapes daily care.
Groton Community Health Care Center runs 80 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits almost exactly at the national average of 3.86 hours per resident day. The problem isn't the typical Tuesday, it's that weekends drop roughly 18% below weekday coverage, so the hours aren't distributed when residents need them. Staff turnover is 62.8%, well above the 45.8% national figure, and the inspection record shows 26 deficiencies, including three at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with a $132,948 fine. A February 2026 inspection is recent, but the pattern across those numbers is what families should weigh.
Schaffer Extended Care Center runs about 3.05 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekend coverage drops further below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 97.8%, more than double the national figure, so the people around your family member are likely to change often. Its record carries 25 deficiencies, including one tied to abuse and one at the harm level, plus a fine, and the last inspection was in May 2025. All three CMS star ratings, inspections, quality measures, staffing, sit at the lowest possible.
Tolstoy Foundation Rehabilitation and Nursing Center is a 96-bed nonprofit in Rockland County sitting in CMS's Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a persistent record of serious problems. The current inspection history backs that up: 45 deficiencies, two of them at the harm or jeopardy level and eight abuse-related, plus a single $126,470 fine. One recent inspection, in September 2025, doesn't erase a pattern like that.
Staffing sits right at the national mark, 3.83 hours per resident day against 3.86, though weekends run about 12% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is genuinely better than average, 35.5% versus 45.8%, and the quality measure rating is a middling 3/5. But the inspection rating is 1/5, and that's the number that matters most here.
Eddy Heritage House runs a nonprofit shop in Troy with 120 certified beds, and the staffing looks solid on paper, 3.90 nurse hours per resident day, just above the national average of 3.86. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops about 13% below the home's own weekday level, and turnover sits at 53% against a national 45.8%.
The inspection record is where this one gets harder to defend: 29 deficiencies on file, including two at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse. That's a 1-star health inspection rating, with the most recent look coming in February 2024. Staffing earns 4 stars, quality measures 2. Families should ask directly how those abuse citations were resolved.
Cuba Memorial's 61-bed nonprofit unit runs on 2.71 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 30 percent below the national average of 3.86, and staffing thins further on weekends, dropping about 15 percent from its own weekday level. That shortfall shows up in the numbers: a 57.4 percent annual turnover rate against a 45.8 percent national average, and CMS scoring staffing and quality measures at 1 out of 5 stars each, even though the health inspection rating sits at 4. The current record carries 15 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level but five tied to abuse. A recent May 2024 inspection is the one clear positive here.
