Nursing homes across Albany County, New York, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
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. The inspection record is the softer spot: 15 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection came in February 2025. 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.
Teresian House runs 302 beds as a nonprofit, and its staffing sits just a hair above the national average at 3.88 nurse hours per resident day. That margin is thin, and weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday coverage, so ask how that gap gets filled. Turnover of 33.5% is notably better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The inspection record is the weaker side: a 2/5 health inspection rating, 26 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and three abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in November 2024. Quality measures scored 5/5, staffing 4/5, the day-to-day care looks stronger than the paperwork history.
St. Peters runs on a nonprofit model with 160 certified beds, and staffing sits at 4.33 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average. That's a real cushion, though it thins out on weekends, when coverage drops about 9% below the home's own weekday level. The inspection record shows 18 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but one is abuse-related, and the last full inspection was in November 2022. Staff turnover lands at 49.3%, a few points above the national 45.8%. The four-star inspection and staffing ratings reflect a home that's generally well-run, but that abuse citation and the dated inspection are worth asking about directly.
Daughters of Sarah, a nonprofit home in Albany with 210 beds, runs on 3.50 nurse staffing hours per resident day, about 9% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 10% below its own weekday numbers, so a Saturday shift isn't the same as a Tuesday one. That thinner coverage is the main thing keeping its staffing rating at 3 stars, not the care record. Inspections come in at 4 stars with 13 deficiencies on file, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related; the last full look was September 2024. Staff turnover sits at 42.3%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, which helps explain why the quality measures also land at 4 stars. Nonprofit ownership usually means steadier priorities than a chain.
Shaker Place is a county-owned home in Albany with 250 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits just below the national average, 3.83 hours per resident day against 3.86. That gap is small on paper, but weekends run about 19 percent lighter than weekdays, which is when families tend to visit and notice. The current inspection record shows 19 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though seven are abuse-related, a category worth asking about directly. Its last full inspection was in October 2023. County ownership can mean steadier funding and public accountability, but it also means budget cycles and politics shape staffing decisions rather than a single operator's priorities.
Eddy Village Green runs 192 beds as a nonprofit, and its staff turnover of 39.1% actually beats the national average of 45.8%. That's worth something. But the federal staffing rating sits at 1 out of 5, so whatever retention exists isn't translating into enough hours at the bedside. The inspection record is the bigger problem: 26 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse. One fine totaling $97,383 is on the books, and the most recent inspection was April 2025. Quality measures land mid-range at 3 stars, but with staffing scored at the bottom and a harm-level citation in the recent past, ask hard questions about supervision and who's actually on the floor overnight.
Delmar Center runs 120 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.51 hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 18% below the home's own weekday staffing, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record is heavy: 72 deficiencies, six of them abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated March 13, 2026. CMS rates health inspections and staffing at one star each, though its quality measure score reaches four. That split tells the story, the clinical metrics look decent, but the day-to-day inspection and staffing picture is where the concern sits.
Our Lady Of Mercy Life Center runs 160 certified beds as a nonprofit, but the numbers show some strain. Nurse staffing sits at 3.62 hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 8% below the home's own weekday levels. Annual turnover is 50.3% against a national 45.8%.
The inspection record is where things get concerning: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, with 25 deficiencies on file, including four tied to abuse. None reached harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was October 15, 2024. Quality and staffing measures both rated 3 out of 5. With half the staff turning over yearly and thin weekend coverage, those inspection findings deserve a closer look before you decide.
Eddy Village Green At Beverwyck runs about 4.76 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 23% above the national average, and weekend staffing dips only about 8% below its own weekday level, unusually steady. Staff turnover sits at 45%, essentially the national rate. The tension is in inspections: a 2/5 health inspection rating, 10 deficiencies on record including one at the harm level and two abuse-related, with the last inspection in December 2023. Quality and staffing measures both rate 5/5, so the clinical numbers look strong while the survey history is where the concerns live. For a 24-bed nonprofit, that mix is worth weighing carefully.
Hudson Park runs on 2.85 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekends drop about 15% below what the building already staffs on weekdays. That thin coverage sits behind a 59.3% annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses at the bedside keep changing. Inspectors cited 40 deficiencies, including five tied to abuse, and the last visit was June 2024; CMS gives the home one star each for health inspections and quality measures. For-profit, limited liability ownership rounds out the picture.
The Grand Rehabilitation and Nrsg At Guilderland runs on 2.91 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekends drop about another 15% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 56.1%, well above the 45.8% national figure, and CMS has flagged the home for its Special Focus Facility program after 56 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse. A $40,937 fine and a one-star inspection rating round out a record that's been on CMS's watch list since at least its March 2025 inspection. If you're considering this one, ask hard questions about weekend coverage and who's actually on the floor.
