Our read on Aurelia Osborn Fox Memorial Hospital

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.
