Nursing homes across Ulster County, New York, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Woodland Pond runs a small 40-bed unit, and the staffing numbers are the story here: 5.37 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. Turnover sits at 31.4%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests people stay. Ten deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with three fines totaling $13,099. The last inspection was April 2025, so the picture is recent. Nonprofit ownership, steady staff, no serious citations, the marks that matter most to daily care look solid.
Golden Hill runs lean on the floor: 3.22 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17% under the national average, and weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 33.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who are there tend to stay, but there aren't enough of them. The inspection record shows 26 deficiencies, including two tied to abuse, though none rose to the level of actual harm; the last state visit was in May 2025. Resident outcome measures look strong on paper, which is a real point in its favor, but staffing is what carries those outcomes day to day. For-profit, limited liability ownership.
Ten Broeck Commons runs 258 beds in Lake Katrine under individual for-profit ownership, and its staffing is the number to sit with. At 3.12 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 19 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 15 percent below its own weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits or needs help mostly on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover is the bright spot: 22 percent against a national 45.8 means aides and nurses tend to stay. Sixteen deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with an inspection dated January 12, 2026.
Taconic Rehabilitation and Nursing at Ulster runs 120 certified beds in Highland under individual for-profit ownership. Its 4.11 nurse staffing hours per resident day sit roughly 7% above the national average of 3.86, though weekends slip about 12% below the home's own weekday levels, so the coverage families see on a Saturday may look thinner than the weekday average suggests. Staff turnover lands at 44.8%, close to the national 45.8%. The current inspection record shows 14 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with no abuse citations and a single fine of $12,948. The most recent inspection was March 12, 2025, so the picture is current.
New Paltz Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing runs 79 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.53 nurse hours per resident day, about 9% under the national average, with weekends roughly 19% leaner than its own weekdays. Annual turnover of 52.9% tops the national rate of 45.8%, meaning the people caring for your relative are likelier than average to be new or on their way out. The health inspection record is the weak spot: 27 deficiencies, five tied to abuse, and a 1/5 inspection rating. Medication and treatment measures look strong, but those are self-reported. Ask about weekend coverage and how abuse complaints were resolved.
Hudson Valley Rehabilitation runs 203 beds in Highland, and its staffing comes in around 3.39 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average. Weekends are thinner still, about a fifth lighter than weekdays, and nearly half the staff turns over each year. The inspection record is the harder part to read past: 51 deficiencies currently on file, including one at the harm level and five tied to abuse. That last inspection was February 27, 2026, so the record is recent. A for-profit LLC operates it. Quality measures land at 2 out of 5 stars. Nothing here is catastrophic on paper, but the pattern, light coverage, heavy turnover, a long deficiency list, is worth asking about directly.
Northeast Ctr For Rehabilitation And Brain Injury is a 280-bed for-profit home in Lake Katrine, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.64 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 16% lighter than weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 36.2%, better than the 45.8% national figure, and the staffing and quality stars both come in at 4 out of 5. What pulls the record down is the inspection side: 47 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and eight tied to abuse, plus a $25,435 fine. The most recent inspection was November 2024.
