John T Mather Memorial's transitional care unit runs on 7.99 nurse hours per resident day, more than double the national figure of 3.86, and its 3.4% turnover is almost unheard of next to the 45.8% national average, meaning the people caring for your family member mostly stay put. Weekend staffing dips about 11% from its own weekday level, worth asking about if you're planning visits then. Twelve deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in May 2025. It's a small for-profit unit, 16 beds, tucked inside a hospital.

Helen Hayes Hospital's transitional care unit in West Haverstraw runs on unusually heavy staffing, 7.22 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 87% above the national figure, and that shows up in the weekend numbers too, which dip about 14% below weekdays but stay high in absolute terms. Staff turnover sits at 33.3%, noticeably below the 45.8% national average, which matters for consistency of care. Its inspection record is clean: two deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in March 2025. State-run ownership adds a layer of public accountability. For 24 beds, that combination of nurse hours and low deficiency counts is the whole story.

Helen Hayes Hospital runs one of the strongest staffing pictures you'll find: 6.81 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 76% above the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 15% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about, but the floor stays high. Staff turnover sits at 34.2%, well under the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The inspection record is clean, one deficiency total, none involving harm or abuse, and the most recent survey was in February 2025. Add state ownership and perfect marks on inspections, quality measures, and staffing, and there's very little here to push back on.

Sea View runs on 4.44 nurse hours per resident day, about 15% above the national average, and its staff turnover is 16.8% against a national 45.8%, that retention is unusual and matters more than any single inspection score. Ten deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related, which a family should ask about directly. The last inspection was April 2025, so the picture is recent. Weekend staffing drops roughly 12% below weekday levels, a gap worth asking about if your visits will fall on Saturdays or Sundays.

Northwell Health Stern Family Center in Manhasset runs on a nonprofit model with 256 certified beds, and the numbers tell a fairly steady story. Nurse staffing sits at 4.99 hours per resident day, roughly 29% above the national average of 3.86, though weekend coverage dips about 7% below weekday levels. Staff turnover comes in at 31.6%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The inspection record shows 14 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey from February 2025. Federal ratings land at 3 out of 5 for health inspections but 5 out of 5 on both quality measures and staffing. The weak spot is inspection history, not daily care.

Kendal On Hudson runs a small operation, just 26 certified beds, but the staffing numbers stand out. At 4.49 nurse hours per resident day, it beats the national average of 3.86 by roughly 16%, and weekend coverage dips only about 12% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 16.1% against a national average of 45.8%, which matters more than almost anything else for consistency of care. Nine deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was May 2024. Nonprofit ownership, strong inspection and quality ratings, the picture is steady rather than spectacular, which is usually what you want.

Nurse staffing here runs about 19% above the national average, and weekend coverage dips only slightly from weekday levels, around 6%, which is a modest shift rather than a fall-off. Staff turnover sits at 29.3% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning fewer caregivers are cycling out the door. The inspection record is thin: 2 deficiencies total, none involving harm or abuse, with the most recent visit in March 2025. That's a for-profit corporate home with 60 beds, so it isn't operating at a scale that forces shortcuts. The numbers point to steady, well-attended care rather than anything flashy.

Elizabeth Seton Children's Center runs on a nonprofit model with 169 certified beds, and the staffing numbers stand out right away: 11.06 nurse hours per resident day, roughly triple the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below weekday levels, but that's a modest gap given the overall volume. Staff turnover sits at 22.2%, well under the national 45.8%, which suggests people stay. Inspections in August 2025 turned up 14 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though four were abuse-related, worth asking about directly. The quality and staffing ratings both come in at the top of CMS's scale, and the health inspection rating is close behind.

New Gouverneur Hospital S N F runs on a level of nurse staffing most homes don't come close to, about 4.35 hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average, and its staff turnover sits at 22.2% against a national figure near 46%. The trade-off is weekends, when hours drop about 16% below the home's own weekday pace. The 295-bed city-run home holds a clean recent inspection record (December 2024) with 12 deficiencies, none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related. Three CMS star ratings of four or five say the same thing the numbers do: this is a well-staffed, stable operation with a weekend gap worth asking about.

Dr Susan Smith Mckinney Nursing And Rehabilitation runs on 4.72 nurse hours per resident day, which is roughly 22% above the national average of 3.86, that's real coverage, not a rounding difference. Weekend staffing dips about 16% below its own weekday level, so ask how weekends actually feel. Staff turnover sits at 19.5% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The current record shows just 2 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in October 2024. This is a city-run home in Brooklyn with 320 beds, and the numbers suggest steady, well-staffed care.

The Jewish Home of Rochester runs 362 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.80 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national figure of 3.86. That said, weekends dip about 13% below its own weekday coverage, so the care your family member gets on a Saturday won't match a Tuesday. Staff turnover is 32.8%, well under the national 45.8%, which means aides and nurses tend to stick around. On inspections, seven deficiencies appear on the current record, three tied to abuse and none reaching harm or jeopardy level. The most recent inspection closed in December 2025, so the picture is current.

Tupper Lake Center runs about 4.68 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 21% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 34.4% is meaningfully lower than the 45.8% typical elsewhere, two signs of a stable, well-staffed building. That said, weekend staffing drops about 28% below its own weekday level, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week. The 23 deficiencies on record include one abuse-related citation, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was January 2024. As a nonprofit with strong quality and staffing marks, the main things to ask about directly are weekend coverage and that abuse flag.

Mercy Hospital Skilled Nursing Facility runs 4.68 nurse hours per resident per day, about 21% above the national average, and its quality measure rating is perfect at 5 out of 5. The catch is weekends: staffing drops roughly 14% below its own weekday levels, so the coverage your family member gets on a Saturday won't match a Tuesday. Staff turnover sits at 43.7%, slightly better than the national 45.8% but still meaning nearly half the nursing staff turns over annually. Four deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm level, one abuse-related, with the last inspection in July 2025.

M.m. Ewing runs a tight ship on staffing. At 4.11 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 6% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 33.1% is meaningfully lower than the 45.8% typical elsewhere, a sign people stick around. Weekend coverage dips roughly 12% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays.
The inspection record is clean where it matters most: nine deficiencies on file, none at the harm or jeopardy level, none tied to abuse. The last full inspection was July 2023, so it's been a stretch since surveyors came through. Quality measure scores land at the top of the federal scale.

Upstate University Hospital's TCU is a 20-bed unit in Syracuse run by New York State, and the staffing numbers stand out right away: 8.21 nurse hours per resident day, more than double the national average. That kind of coverage shows up in the inspection record too, with four deficiencies on file and none involving harm or jeopardy to a resident. The tradeoff is retention. At 53.7% annual turnover, this unit replaces over half its nursing staff every year, well above the 45.8% national figure, so consistent care often depends on newer faces. Weekend hours dip only slightly, about 2% under weekdays. Its last inspection was July 2025.

The numbers that stand out at Maplewood are on the staffing side: 6.07 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 57% above the national average of 3.86. That's a lot of hands on deck, and it shows in the weekend data too, weekend coverage dips about 9% below weekdays, but from a high baseline, so it never falls to the thin levels common elsewhere. Turnover sits at 42.9%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. Trustees can look at the inspection record with some confidence: eight deficiencies on file, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and the most recent survey was May 2025. The corporation running it has kept the place clean on paper.

Sunshine Children's Home in Ossining runs 9.75 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly two and a half times the national average, and weekend staffing dips only about 10% below its weekday level, so care doesn't thin out much when families visit. Turnover sits at 35.9%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters in a building where consistency of caregivers is half the job. Federal inspectors gave it top marks across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, and the most recent survey in June 2025 produced four deficiencies, none at the harm level, though two were abuse-related, worth asking about directly.

St Marys Center is a small nonprofit home in Manhattan, just 39 beds, and its inspection record is the strongest thing about it. Seven deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, and the last full inspection came in February 2025, so you're looking at recent information rather than something three years stale. The one abuse-related citation is worth asking about directly.
Where it gets more mixed is staffing. At 3.10 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 20% under the national average, and weekends dip another 10% below its own weekday numbers. Turnover sits at 44.8%, essentially the national rate. Small homes can stretch thin, so ask who covers a Saturday night.

The Osborn runs a leaner ship than most: 4.59 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly a fifth more staffing than the national average, and weekend coverage that dips only about 15% below weekday levels, a smaller gap than many homes show. Turnover sits at 42.6%, slightly better than the national 45.8%, though still meaning four in ten staff left last year. The inspection history is the softer spot: 19 deficiencies on record, none rising to harm or jeopardy and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in February 2025. As a nonprofit, there's no ownership group extracting profit, which tends to show up in numbers like these.

St. Margarets Center runs on unusually heavy nursing hours, 8.30 per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, roughly double. Weekends dip only about 7% from weekday levels, so coverage stays fairly steady. Staff turnover sits at 38.4%, better than the 45.8% national figure but not low in absolute terms.

Quality measures score 5/5; inspections 3/5. Nonprofit ownership under a corporation. The staffing and quality numbers carry this home; the survey history is what a family should read closely.
