All 10 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Staten Island,
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.
Sea View runs on 4.44 nurse hours per resident day, about 15% above the national average, and its staff turnover is 16.8% against a national 45.8%, that retention is unusual and matters more than any single inspection score. Ten deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related, which a family should ask about directly. The last inspection was April 2025, so the picture is recent. Weekend staffing drops roughly 12% below weekday levels, a gap worth asking about if your visits will fall on Saturdays or Sundays.
Richmond Center runs 372 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.18 hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage drops about 9% below its own weekday levels, so the weekday numbers don't tell the whole story. Staff turnover is 28.2%, well below the national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The tradeoff shows up in inspections: 29 deficiencies on record, one abuse-related, none at harm or jeopardy level, and a 2/5 health inspection rating despite solid marks for staffing and quality measures. The most recent inspection was in December 2025.
ArchCare at Eger runs on 3.35 nurse hours per resident per day, about 13% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 12% below its own weekday staffing. That gap matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when families often visit. The good news is stability: turnover sits at 27.9%, well below the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses you meet are more likely to still be there next year. Inspections turned up 21 deficiencies, none at the harm level, though one was abuse-related. The last survey was July 2025, so the record is current. Quality measures score high; staffing is thinner than average but steady.
Carmel Richmond runs on 3.24 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 16 percent under the national average, and weekends drop about 11 percent below its own weekday staffing. That thinner coverage matters more than the raw number suggests, since the home carries 11 deficiencies on its current record, two of them at the harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, with its last inspection in August 2024. What works in its favor is retention: turnover sits at 25.4 percent, well under the 45.8 percent national figure, so the caregivers who are there tend to stay. Inspection and quality scores both come in strong, but the staffing and deficiency picture is the part worth asking about directly.
Staten Island Care Center runs lean on nursing hours, 2.70 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly 30% below, and weekends dip about 5% under its own weekday levels. What stands out is the retention: 23.3% turnover versus 45.8% nationally, so the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. Inspections look solid, with a 4/5 health inspection rating and 10 deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. Quality measures score 5/5. Put it together and you have a home that keeps its staff and passes inspections but runs thinner on daily bedside hours than most.
Golden Gate runs on thin staffing: 2.81 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 27% under the national average, and weekends drop about 8% below its own weekday level. Turnover is where it stands out, 27.7% versus 45.8% nationally, so the people who stay tend to stay. The inspection record is the problem. Eighteen deficiencies, three serious enough to put residents in harm's way, five tied to abuse, and the most recent inspection was May 2024. Quality measures score well, but a 238-bed for-profit home with that staffing and that inspection history carries real risk. Ask to see the abuse-related correction plans before you decide.
Silver Lake runs on a for-profit LLC structure with 278 beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.09 hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average. Turnover is where it separates from the pack: 25.8% against a national 45.8%, meaning far fewer caregivers are walking out the door each year, though weekend coverage dips about 8% below its own weekday levels. The trouble shows up in its record. Seventeen deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, with a 2/5 on health inspections and 2/5 on quality measures. The last inspection was December 2023. Good retention and decent hours don't cancel out what inspectors found.
New Vanderbilt runs 320 beds on Staten Island under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.68 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average, with weekends running roughly 10% thinner than its own weekdays. Turnover is 35.1%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the same faces are more likely to stick around. The harder numbers are on the inspection side: 40 deficiencies on the current record, eight tied to abuse, and a one-star health inspection rating from CMS, with the last survey in July 2024. Zero of those deficiencies rose to harm or jeopardy level, which matters, but the volume is still high.
Clove Lakes is a 576-bed for-profit home in Staten Island with a split personality in its federal ratings: top marks on quality measures, but a one-star health inspection record and placement in CMS's Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a pattern of serious, persistent problems. Its current record shows 35 deficiencies, including four at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse. Nurse staffing runs about 13% below the national average and dips further on weekends. The one number that stands out favorably is turnover, 27.5% against a national average near 46%, meaning the staff it has tend to stay. That's worth asking about on a visit, but it doesn't offset the inspection history.
Verrazano Nursing and Post-Acute Center runs on 2.68 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a third less than the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 10% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 58.3%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents are changing often. The current record shows 17 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, plus 13 fines totaling $130,902. Inspectors were last on site in March 2025. Corporate-owned and 120 beds, this is a home where the inspection and quality scores look steadier than the daily staffing picture underneath them.
