Nursing homes across Otsego County, New York, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Cooperstown Center runs 174 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.37 hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip even further, about 13% below the home's own weekday coverage. Staff turnover is 64.3%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means aides and nurses are cycling through faster than residents can get used to them.
The inspection record shows 34 deficiencies, two tied to abuse; none rose to harm or jeopardy level. CMS gives the home middle marks on health inspections and quality measures, but only 2 of 5 stars for staffing. The last inspection was May 2, 2024.
Aurelia Osborn Fox Memorial Hospital sits in Oneonta with 131 certified beds and a nonprofit owner. Staffing runs slightly under the national average at 3.80 hours per resident day, and weekends drop about 18% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The bigger issue is the inspection record: 29 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating. Turnover at 37.1% actually beats the national 45.8%, which suggests staff stick around. Ask about that harm-level finding and what changed after the April 2025 inspection.
Chestnut Park runs on 3.28 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 15% under the national average, and weekends drop about 18% below its own weekday staffing. The numbers behind the two lowest CMS marks, one out of five on health inspections and one on quality measures, include 32 deficiencies on the current record, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse. Staff turnover sits at 66.2% against a national average of 45.8%, so the people caring for residents are often new. The last inspection was May 2023, and with a for-profit corporation at the helm, the pattern across staffing, turnover, and oversight is consistent enough to ask hard questions before choosing this one.
