How chain-owned homes in Suffolk County, New York compare
This group set against every nursing home in Suffolk County, New York, from the current CMS release.
Brookside Multicare runs 353 certified beds in Smithtown under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers mostly hold up. Nurse staffing sits at 3.91 hours per resident day, barely above the national average of 3.86, so this isn't a home running rich on direct care, and weekend coverage drops about 12% below its own weekday level. What stands out is retention: 21.9% annual turnover against a national average of 45.8%, meaning far fewer caregivers cycling through than at the typical home. Fifteen deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a single $3,145 fine and an inspection as recent as November 2025.
Brookhaven runs a 160-bed for-profit home in East Patchogue, and its staffing sits slightly above the national average, with a turnover rate of 29.2% that's well under the national 45.8%. That's a meaningful edge, consistent caregivers matter more than most families realize. Weekend coverage, though, drops about 13% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The current record shows 13 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus a single fine of $7,901. Inspections are recent, and the quality and staffing ratings both land at four stars, with health inspection at three.
Long Island State Veterans Home runs on 4.65 nursing hours per resident day, roughly a fifth more than the national average, and its staff turnover of 24.8% sits far below the 45.8% national figure, that kind of retention keeps caregivers familiar with the people they're treating. Weekend coverage dips about 11% from weekday levels, which is worth knowing if your visits fall on Saturdays or Sundays. The tradeoff shows in the record: ten deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, and a quality measure rating of 2 out of 5 despite strong marks for staffing and inspections. The state runs it, and its last inspection was March 2025, so the picture is current.
Maria Regina runs on more nursing hours than most homes in the country, 4.44 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and its aides and nurses stick around far longer than the typical turnover rate suggests, 26.6% leaving annually versus 45.8% nationally. That stability matters, though weekends drop about 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, so ask how weekend shifts are actually staffed. The trade-off shows up in oversight: 18 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, plus a single $8,512 fine. Its last inspection was January 2025, so the record is recent. For-profit partnership ownership, 188 beds.
Oasis Rehabilitation and Nursing runs 100 beds in Center Moriches under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers tell a fairly steady story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.79 hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 17% thinner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits or needs coverage on Saturdays and Sundays. What stands out is retention: 28.6% annual turnover against a national average of 45.8%, which suggests a more stable crew than most places. The inspection record is clean where it matters, 8 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in February 2026. Quality and inspection measures both rate at the top of CMS's scale; staffing lands in the middle.
Huntington Hills runs 320 certified beds in Melville under corporate ownership, and the staffing picture is mixed. Nurses provide 3.65 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 11% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 22.4% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay. The current record shows 16 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one is abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. State inspectors were last in on November 15, 2024. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspections sit in the middle.
East Neck runs 300 beds in West Babylon, and its staffing sits at 3.09 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 9% under the home's own weekday numbers, so coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 38.2%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some stability in the workforce even if raw hours are low. The 29 deficiencies on record include none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was November 2025, so the record is recent. Quality measures score well; inspections and staffing do not.
St James Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center runs 230 certified beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its staffing is the number that stands out, 3.25 nurse hours per resident day, about 16% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends roughly 12% leaner than weekdays. That thin coverage pulls its CMS staffing rating down to 2 out of 5. Turnover, though, is a genuine bright spot: 29.7% against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses tend to stay. The current record shows 15 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a recent December 2025 inspection and top marks on quality measures. If your family member needs steady, familiar caregivers more than intensive daily nursing hours, that mix may work.
Luxor Nursing & Rehabilitation At Mills Pond runs 252 certified beds in St James under for-profit LLC ownership, and its numbers tell two different stories. The good news is care quality and inspection history: a 4/5 on health inspections and a perfect 5/5 on quality measures, with eleven deficiencies on the current record and none of them tied to harm, jeopardy, or abuse, a clean sheet on the things families worry about most. The harder news is staffing, where 3.29 nurse hours per resident day sits about 15% under the national average, weekend coverage dips roughly 5% below weekday levels, and CMS rates staffing just 2/5. Turnover at 28.1% is meaningfully better than the national 45.8%, so the people there tend to stay. If your concern is consistent hands-on availability, especially weekends, that's the trade-off worth weighing.
Sayville Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs on thinner nurse staffing than most homes, 3.23 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip further below its own weekday levels. That's a real gap, and it explains the low staffing score even though the home scores well on inspections and quality measures, with no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level. What stands out is retention: 22.5% turnover versus a national 45.8%, meaning the staff who are there tend to stay. A for-profit LLC with 180 beds and a clean harm record is worth a look, but ask directly how the weekend shifts are covered.
Momentum At South Bay runs 4.16 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, and its 35.7% turnover is meaningfully better than the 45.8% typical elsewhere, signs of a stable, adequately staffed floor. Weekend staffing, though, drops about 18% below its own weekday level, so ask how coverage looks on a Saturday. The inspection record is clean where it matters: 10 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with the last survey in September 2025. Quality measures score well, but the staffing star lags, which is the tension here, decent hours, thinner weekends.
Carillon runs 315 beds in Huntington under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.40 hours per resident day, about 12 percent under the national figure of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly another 10 percent below what the home itself staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover lands at 39.7 percent, better than the 45.8 percent national rate, which suggests some stability in the workforce. The inspection record is where caution creeps in: ten deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with a $22,523 fine and a May 2025 inspection. Strong quality measures and middling staffing and inspection scores tell a mixed story.
Surge Rehabilitation and Nursing has 164 certified beds in Middle Island and runs on a for-profit LLC structure. The staffing numbers look decent on paper, 3.99 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, but weekends drop about 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, and that's when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 39.4%, better than the national 45.8%, which matters for consistency of care. The real concern is the inspection record: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 14 deficiencies including one at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus a $70,480 fine. A recent December 2025 inspection means the record is current, not stale. Strong quality measures don't cancel out those findings.
Westhampton Care Center runs 180 beds under corporate ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely strong, a 4 out of 5 on health inspections, with the most recent visit in June 2025. The catch is staffing. At 3.57 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 8% under the national average, and weekends drop another 9% below its own weekday levels, which matters when aides are already stretched. Sixteen deficiencies are on the current record, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse. Turnover at 40.9% is slightly better than the national 45.8%, so the problem isn't retention so much as how many hands are scheduled per shift.
Bellhaven runs 240 certified beds in Brookhaven, and the numbers pull in different directions. Nurse staffing sits at 3.23 hours per resident day, roughly 16 percent under the national average, with weekends running about 13 percent thinner than weekdays, a pattern that matters when families visit on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is the harder read: 17 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse, and a one-star health inspection rating, though staff turnover at 38 percent actually beats the national 45.8 percent. Ownership is for-profit partnership. Quality measures rate five stars, but that's self-reported data, and the last inspection was August 2024.
Smithtown Center runs 162 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing is the weak spot: 3.51 nurse hours per resident day sits about 9% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday levels. The federal staffing rating reflects that, one star out of five. Turnover lands at 34.7%, which is better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who stay tend to stay. On inspections, the record shows 17 deficiencies with nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and no abuse citations, and the most recent survey was April 2025. Quality measures score well. The shortfall here is coverage, not conduct, especially on Saturdays and Sundays, when your family member is most likely to need someone nearby.
The Hamlet runs 3.39 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average, and weekends dip about 15% below its own weekday levels, that thin weekend coverage matters most when families visit and when problems are likeliest to surface. Staff turnover is 31%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who are there tend to stay. But the record shows 13 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus $92,770 in fines across two penalties. Inspectors were last in on February 20, 2025. Quality measures score well, but staffing and the harm-level findings are what pull the overall picture down to a middling grade.
Quantum Rehabilitation and Nursing in Middle Island runs a 120-bed for-profit operation, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Its last inspection in February came back clean on the serious stuff, six deficiencies total, none involving harm or abuse, which is why the inspection rating sits at four stars. Staffing is where the cracks show: 3.93 nurse hours per resident day edges out the national average by a hair, but weekends drop roughly 16% below weekdays, and nearly half the staff turns over each year, slightly worse than the 45.8% national figure. You're looking at a home that inspects well but asks a lot of a workforce that doesn't stay long.
Nurse staffing at The Hamptons Center runs 2.93 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly a quarter less hands-on time than the typical home. Weekends are thinner still, about 8% below the home's own weekday level, and a 37.4% annual turnover rate, though better than the national 45.8%, means a lot of the people providing that care are new to the building. The state inspection record is where the real trouble sits: 23 deficiencies, three serious enough to put residents in harm's way, five tied to abuse, and a $150,990 fine. A 5/5 on quality measures doesn't offset a 1/5 on inspections.
Waters Edge runs on 2.95 nursing hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops about 8% below what it manages on weekdays. That thin staffing shows up against a 55.6% annual turnover rate, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. Its current record carries 23 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a $153,911 fine. The quality measure score is high, but inspectors last visited in August 2025 and rated the health inspection side 1 out of 5. For a family weighing this one, the staffing and inspection numbers are the ones to sit with.
