Our read on Long Island Care Center Inc
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.
