All 3 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Hempstead,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
Nassau Rehabilitation & Nursing Center runs 280 certified beds in Hempstead under for-profit LLC ownership. Its nurse staffing sits at 3.11 hours per resident day, roughly 19% below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday levels, which is where thin coverage tends to show up. What stands out in the other direction is retention: annual turnover of 13.6% against a national average near 46% suggests a stable crew. The current record shows 14 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, no abuse citations, and a single $16,153 fine. Inspectors last visited April 28, 2025.
Mayfair Care Center runs 200 certified beds in Hempstead under for-profit corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.28 hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent under the national average of 3.86, with weekend coverage dropping another 8 percent below its own weekday levels. That thinner weekend floor matters because the home carries 23 deficiencies on its current record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a $41,308 CMS fine and a two-out-of-five inspection rating. Turnover at 29.5 percent is genuinely better than the 45.8 percent national figure, which suggests some stability in the workforce. The last inspection was September 25, 2024; quality measures score one out of five.
Hempstead Park runs 251 certified beds under individual for-profit ownership, and its staffing is the first thing that stands out: 3.11 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 20% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 11% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is genuinely better than average at 28.9% against 45.8% nationally, so the people who stay seem to stay. The concern is the record itself, 30 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, plus a $15,445 fine, with the most recent inspection in August 2025. Quality measures score well; the staffing and inspection sides don't.
