Nurse hours

Staff turnover
33%

The state-run veterans home in Jamaica runs nurse staffing at 4.33 hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 32.6% sits well below the national 45.8%. Weekend coverage, though, drops about 18% below its own weekday level, so care can thin out on Saturdays and Sundays. Ten deficiencies appear on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related. The last inspection was May 2024. State ownership often means steadier funding and lower turnover than the for-profit average, which the numbers here bear out.

Queen of Peace Residence in Queens Village runs on a non-profit model with 53 certified beds, and its staffing is the standout: 7.17 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 86% above the national average. That's an unusual number, and it shows up in the staffing star rating. Weekend coverage dips about 5% below weekday levels, which is modest. Staff turnover sits at 28.6% against a national average near 46%, so people tend to stay. The record shows 8 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in late 2025. Quality measure scores run lower, at 2 stars, which is worth asking about directly.

Ozanam Hall runs 432 beds in Bayside as a nonprofit, and its staffing numbers tell a mixed story. Nurses provide 3.49 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 7% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 30.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses you meet are more likely to still be there next year. Inspections in October 2024 turned up 17 deficiencies, none at the harm level, though one was abuse-related. With 4/5 on quality and staffing measures and 3/5 on inspections, this is a solidly middle-to-upper home, not a standout.

Holliswood Center runs 314 certified beds in Queens under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits about 11% above the national average at 4.30 hours per resident day. Weekend coverage dips roughly 6% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. What stands out most is turnover: 15.9% annually against a national average near 46%. That kind of stability matters for residents who need consistent caregivers. The tradeoff shows up in inspections. Seventeen deficiencies are on the current record, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse. The last inspection was April 2024, so that record is fairly recent. Strong staffing and retention, but a survey history that deserves your questions.

Long Island Care Center runs 200 beds in Flushing under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.74 nurse hours per resident day, about 3% under the national average, with weekends roughly 9% thinner than weekdays. The tradeoff is retention: 27.6% turnover against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay. State inspectors last visited in April 2024 and logged 13 deficiencies, none causing harm, though two were abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. Federal quality measures score 5/5 and inspections 4/5, while staffing earns 3/5, a home getting good clinical outcomes with slightly lean coverage.

Margaret Tietz Center runs about 3.42 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 7% below its own weekday level. So the day-to-day coverage is thinner than average, and thinnest when families tend to visit. What stands out instead is turnover: 29.5% against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay. Inspections back that up, a five-star health inspection rating, five deficiencies on record with one at the harm level, no abuse citations, and a single $8,512 fine, with the last survey in September 2025.

Little Neck Care Center runs on a paradox: its staff stick around. Turnover is 16.9% against a national average of 45.8%, which is genuinely rare and usually means people want to be there. But the record around them is the problem. The most recent inspection, in August 2024, left 15 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. That's a lot of citations for a 120-bed home. Staffing sits at 3.58 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average, and weekends drop another 7% below its own weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families visit. Consistent caregivers matter, but they can't offset an inspection record like this.

Cypress Garden Center runs about 2.97 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 8% below its own weekday level. That thin coverage lines up with a 2-out-of-5 staffing rating from CMS, though turnover is a genuine bright spot: 25.4% versus a national average of 45.8%, so the aides who are there tend to stay. The record shows 13 deficiencies with none at harm level, including one abuse-related citation, and the last inspection came in September 2024. Quality measures score 5 out of 5 and inspections 4 out of 5, so the care outcomes look better than the hours suggest, families should still ask how weekend coverage is actually staffed.

Meadow Park runs lean on nurse staffing, 2.88 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly a quarter less time with residents than the typical home. Weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families often visit. The good news sits in the numbers too: staff turnover of 22.9% is about half the national rate, meaning the people who are there tend to stay. Fifteen deficiencies appear on the current record, four tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. That mix, stable caregivers, low daily hours, a recent April 2024 inspection, is what lands this Flushing home in solid-but-imperfect territory rather than the top tier.

Premier Nsg & Rehab Center Of Far Rockaway runs 183 beds in Queens, owned by an individual for profit, and its 3.13 nurse staffing hours per resident day sit roughly 19 percent under the national average. Weekends drop about 13 percent below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is the counterweight: 28.6 percent against a national 45.8 means the aide or nurse you meet is likelier to still be there next year. Seventeen deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in March 2025.

Waterview Nursing Care Center runs 200 beds in Flushing under corporate ownership, and its staffing numbers are the first thing to look at. At 3.16 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 18 percent under the national average, and weekends drop about 15 percent below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot at 31.1 percent, well under the national 45.8 percent, which suggests the staff who are there tend to stay. The current record shows 19 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but four tied to abuse, and the last inspection was December 2024.

Far Rockaway Center runs a hundred certified beds as a for-profit LLC, and its numbers tell a mixed story worth untangling. The quality measure rating sits at the top of the scale, and there are no deficiencies flagged at the harm or jeopardy level and none tied to abuse, that's the reassuring part. But nurse staffing comes in at 2.84 hours per resident day, roughly 27% under the national average, and weekends dip about 9% below the home's own weekday coverage. Turnover is 41.8%, actually a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. Twenty-five deficiencies sit on the current record, with the most recent inspection in April 2026. Ask about weekend nursing coverage specifically.

Bridge View runs lean on nursing hours, 2.82 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday pace. So the staffing star rating of 2 out of 5 tracks with what the payroll shows. What's genuinely unusual is retention: 10.4% turnover versus 45.8% nationally, meaning the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. State inspectors last visited in May 2023 and logged 17 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none at the harm or jeopardy level. A four-star inspection and four-star quality record sit on top of a thin staffing floor.

The Grand Rehabilitation and Nursing at Queens runs 179 certified beds in Whitestone, and it's a for-profit corporate operation. Its 3.06 daily nurse staffing hours per resident sit about 21% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 12% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Turnover is genuinely low at 29.7% against a national 45.8%, which suggests a steadier crew than most. Inspections in January 2025 turned up eight deficiencies, none at harm level, though one was abuse-related. A recent inspection and a clean harm record count for something; the thin staffing is the number worth watching.

Sapphire Center runs about 2.27 nurse staffing hours per resident day against a national average near 3.86, roughly 41% below. Weekends drop further, about 10% below its own weekday levels. That thin coverage sits behind the 1-out-of-5 staffing rating and a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, with 28 deficiencies on record, including three at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. Fines total $87,741. Turnover is the one bright spot: 32.3% versus the national 45.8%. This is a 227-bed for-profit partnership in Flushing. The quality measure stars look strong, but they're self-reported data, the inspection and staffing numbers tell you what happens on the floor.

Peninsula Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is a 200-bed for-profit home in Far Rockaway where the day-to-day numbers tell two different stories. Nurses provide 3.28 hours of care per resident per day, about 15% under the national average, and staffing thins out further on weekends, roughly 11% below the home's own weekday level. Turnover sits at 39.8%, a bit better than the national 45.8%. The trouble shows up in inspections: 16 deficiencies on the current record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus an $81,387 fine. The last inspection was July 2024. Resident outcome measures look strong on paper, but a record with harm-level and abuse citations is the part worth asking about directly.
