Nursing homes across Ontario County, New York, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
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.
Clifton Springs Hospital and Clinic Extended Care runs a little richer on nursing hours than the typical American nursing home, 4.09 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, though weekends drop about 13% below what the home staffs on weekdays, which is worth asking about if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 46.4%, essentially the national rate, so this isn't a stable long-term crew. Inspections look solid: a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating, last visit in November 2024, and 12 deficiencies on record with none involving harm or abuse.
Elm Manor runs on thin staffing: 2.84 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekends drop about 10% below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 85.7%, nearly double the national rate, so the people providing that care are constantly changing. The health inspection record shows 35 deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, but a one-star inspection rating still reflects repeated problems, most recently cited in August 2024. Quality measures score well, which may reflect good clinical tracking, but that doesn't offset what daily coverage looks like. For-profit corporate ownership and 46 beds mean limited margin for error when someone calls out. Ask how they cover weekend shifts.
Finger Lakes Health in Geneva runs 345 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its inspection record shows 26 deficiencies, including a pair serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. That's a lot to carry, and the two-out-of-five health inspection rating reflects it. The quality measure score sits at the same two stars, so this isn't a case of strong clinical outcomes offsetting weak inspections. The last survey was September 2023, which means the record you're looking at isn't fresh, call and ask what's happened since, and specifically how the abuse-related findings were resolved. With a home this size, staffing consistency matters as much as any single number.
Ontario Center runs on 3.02 nurse hours per resident per day, well under the 3.86 national average, and weekends drop about 22% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage sits alongside 80.6% annual turnover, meaning most of the people caring for residents weren't there a year ago. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of poor inspections, and the record backs that up: 41 deficiencies, including three at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus a $117,878 fine. One star on health inspections and one on staffing, with a state survey completed in January 2025.
