Nursing homes across Washington County, New York, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Fort Hudson runs about 3.40 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 12% under the national average, and weekends drop another 16% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage is the main reason its staffing rating sits at 1 out of 5, even though its quality measures score 4 out of 5 and inspectors found no harm-level or abuse-related deficiencies among the 14 on record. The most recent inspection was December 2024, so the picture is current. This is a nonprofit with solid clinical outcomes but a real staffing gap, especially on weekends, worth asking how they cover callouts and whether weekend nurse coverage matches what you'd see on a Tuesday.
Slate Valley Center runs 88 beds in Granville under corporate ownership, and its record splits in an unusual way. Inspectors gave it 4 out of 5 stars and found eight deficiencies in the last survey, none causing harm, none tied to abuse, with the most recent visit in April 2025. The clinical quality measures also score 5 out of 5.
The staffing side is where the picture changes. At 3.00 nurse hours per resident day, this home sits about 22% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run roughly 13% thinner than its own weekdays. Annual turnover of 63% tops the 45.8% national figure by a wide margin. Strong marks on care measures, thin coverage on the floor, that tension is worth asking about directly.
Washington Center for Rehab and Healthcare runs 122 certified beds in Argyle under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.38 hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 11% below the home's own weekday coverage, a gap families often notice when they visit on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record shows 12 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with one fine totaling $9,620 and the most recent inspection in September 2025. Staff turnover at 44.3% lands just under the national figure of 45.8%, so retention isn't the standout problem here, the survey history is.
Granville Center runs on 3.01 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22 percent under the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 11 percent below what it manages on weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 74.3 percent, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, that's most of your caregivers replaced within a year. The current record shows 23 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level but one tied to abuse, with the last inspection in December 2024. The corporate owner runs this for profit. Quality measures score well, but that's the number families see last; staffing is the one they feel daily.
