Nursing homes across Rensselaer County, New York, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Eddy Memorial runs 80 certified beds as a nonprofit, and the staffing numbers are close to typical without being generous: 3.75 nurse hours per resident day sits about 3% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 9% below the home's own weekday coverage. Turnover runs at 44.7%, essentially matching the national rate, so this isn't a stable long-tenured crew. The inspection record shows 17 deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related, and the last full inspection came in August 2024. What stands out is the split between that middling inspection history and the quality measures, which score at the top of CMS's scale, worth asking staff how that gap plays out day to day.
Riverside Center runs on thinner staffing than most homes in the country, 3.24 nurse hours per resident per day against a national figure of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 10 percent below what the building manages during the week. Nearly 60 percent of its nursing staff turned over in the past year, well above the 45.8 percent national rate, which means the people at the bedside are often new. Nineteen deficiencies sit on the current record, including one tied to abuse, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection dates to April 2026. New York's for-profit limited liability ownership keeps the margins tight; the quality measures hold up better than the inspection history does.
The Center For Nursing And Rehab At Hoosick Falls runs on more nursing hours than most places, 4.13 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and its quality measure score is solid. The catch is consistency: weekend staffing drops about 17% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 55.7%, well above the 45.8% national figure. Eighteen deficiencies appear on the current record, none serious enough to trigger a harm or jeopardy citation, though one is abuse-related. State inspectors last visited in October 2024. It's a nonprofit home with 82 beds whose numbers look better on paper than the weekend reality might.
Evergreen Commons runs about 2.90 nurse staffing hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 17 percent under its own weekday levels, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. The 240-bed for-profit home carries 19 deficiencies on its current record, two of them abuse-related, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level, and it has paid one fine of $13,065. Staff turnover of 45.5 percent sits right at the national figure, meaning roughly half the workforce turns over each year. Its last inspection was January 11, 2024.
Troy Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing runs 78 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is the biggest thing to know: 38 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. Its last health inspection was February 2024, and CMS gives that inspection record a single star out of five. Staffing tells a similar story, 3.72 nurse hours per resident day sits about 4% under the national average, weekend coverage drops roughly 13% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover runs 63.9% against a national 45.8%. Quality measures score well, but they don't offset a troubled inspection history or thin, churning staff.
Van Rensselaer Manor runs on 3.21 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17% under the national average, and weekends drop about 16% below its own weekday staffing. Staff turnover sits at 48.3%, a couple points above the national figure, and the inspection record shows 33 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse. The most recent inspection was April 1, 2026, so the findings are current rather than dated. County ownership means taxpayers, not a chain, carry the operation. With the quality measure rating at 1 out of 5 and health inspections at 2, the numbers point to a home where residents get less nursing time than average and the state has documented repeated problems. If you're considering it, ask directly how the weekend shifts get covered.
Eddy Heritage House runs a nonprofit shop in Troy with 120 certified beds, and the staffing looks solid on paper, 3.90 nurse hours per resident day, just above the national average of 3.86. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops about 13% below the home's own weekday level, and turnover sits at 53% against a national 45.8%.
The inspection record is where this one gets harder to defend: 29 deficiencies on file, including two at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse. That's a 1-star health inspection rating, with the most recent look coming in February 2024. Staffing earns 4 stars, quality measures 2. Families should ask directly how those abuse citations were resolved.
Rosewood Rehabilitation And Nursing Center runs about 2.86 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekends drop another 15% under its own weekday levels. Annual turnover sits at 73% against a national 45.8%, so the people around your family member keep changing. The inspection record is the real warning: 45 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse, and nine fines totaling $219,130, with CMS placing the home in its Special Focus Facility program. That program exists for homes with a persistent pattern of poor care, not a single bad survey. The quality measure rating looks good on paper, but it reflects resident assessments, not whether enough staff are present to act on them.
Troy Victorian runs 2.96 nurse staffing hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 17% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 57.4%, more than half the nursing staff leaving in a year, which matters even more at a place where CMS has flagged 11 abuse-related deficiencies. The home carries 73 deficiencies on its current record, three serious enough to cause harm, plus $269,574 in fines, and CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, reserved for the worst performers in the country. If you're considering this one for someone you love, ask what the turnover and weekend coverage look like on the specific unit and shift you're considering.
