Peconic Landing sits in Greenport with 66 certified beds and a nonprofit owner, and its nurse staffing runs about 5.09 hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday coverage, so care can feel thinner on Saturdays and Sundays, though the current record holds just 8 deficiencies with none tied to harm or abuse.

The Knolls runs a small house, 20 certified beds, under nonprofit ownership, and the staffing numbers are where it separates itself. At 4.70 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 22 percent above the national average, and turnover of 24 percent is nearly half the national rate, which matters because consistent caregivers know the residents. Weekend coverage dips about 9 percent below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. The inspection record shows 8 deficiencies with none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the most recent survey dates to October 2023, so the picture is recent.

Nurse staffing at this county-run home in Warsaw runs about 11% above the national average, and its 35% turnover is meaningfully lower than the typical 45.8%, both signs of a stable core staff. Weekend coverage, though, drops roughly 14% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. Inspections in March 2024 turned up 15 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, but none at the harm or jeopardy level. That mix, with strong quality measures and solid inspection history, is why it sits near the top of what we grade.

Brookside Multicare runs 353 certified beds in Smithtown under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers mostly hold up. Nurse staffing sits at 3.91 hours per resident day, barely above the national average of 3.86, so this isn't a home running rich on direct care, and weekend coverage drops about 12% below its own weekday level. What stands out is retention: 21.9% annual turnover against a national average of 45.8%, meaning far fewer caregivers cycling through than at the typical home. Fifteen deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a single $3,145 fine and an inspection as recent as November 2025.

The Wartburg Home runs on 4.64 nursing hours per resident day, roughly a fifth more than the national average, and its staff turnover of 13.8% is far below the typical 45.8%, a sign that caregivers tend to stay, which matters for residents who need consistent faces. Inspections turned up 14 deficiencies, but none involved harm or jeopardy, and none were abuse-related, with the most recent review completed in July 2025. Weekend staffing dips about 14% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The quality measure rating sits at the top of the scale, while the health inspection rating is middling, worth reading the actual inspection reports rather than trusting either number alone.

Hollis Park Manor is an 80-bed for-profit home in Queens, and the numbers behind its record are steady across the board. Nurse staffing runs 3.93 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and weekend coverage dips about 10% from its own weekday level, worth asking about if your visits land on Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 27.9%, well below the national 45.8%, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents' routines. Its last inspection was May 2025, with 10 deficiencies on record and none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related and worth asking about directly.

The Steven and Alexandra Cohen Pediatric LTC Pavilion in Valhalla runs 8.34 nurse hours per resident day, more than double the national average of 3.86, and that staffing holds up reasonably on weekends, dipping only about 9% from weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 20.4% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for these 24 residents tend to stay. Inspections back it up: two deficiencies on record, none involving harm or abuse, and the most recent survey was in August 2024. As a nonprofit with a five-star inspection and quality record, this is about as steady as a small pediatric skilled nursing setting gets.

Beechwood runs 272 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its 3.97 nurse staffing hours per resident day sits slightly above the national average of 3.86. Turnover is where it separates itself: 37.5% annually against a national 45.8%, meaning fewer caregivers are walking out the door than at the typical home. The tradeoff is weekends, when staffing drops about 13% below its own weekday level. Eight deficiencies are on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. The last inspection was November 2023, so the picture is reasonably current, and the federal ratings come back clean across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing.

Staffing is where Orzac stands apart: 5.95 nurse hours per resident day, roughly half again the national average, and a 29.9% turnover rate that's well below the typical 45.8%. Families usually notice that as more consistent hands on the floor. Weekend coverage dips about 8% from weekday levels, which is worth asking about if you visit Saturdays.
The caution is inspections. Eleven deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus a $41,575 fine, with the most recent inspection in May 2025. Strong care hours and a weaker regulatory history can both be true at once.

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.

Nurse staffing sits at 4.36 hours per resident day, roughly 13 percent above the national average, and 19.2 percent turnover is less than half the national rate, people tend to stay here. Weekend coverage dips about 13 percent below weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays.

Casa Promesa runs 108 certified beds in the Bronx under nonprofit ownership, and its staffing sits right at the national average, 3.87 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationwide. That average hides a gap, though: weekends run about 14% leaner than weekdays, so coverage depends on when you visit. Staff turnover is 42.9%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The concern is the inspection record, 28 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, with a $8,281 fine and a 2-out-of-5 inspection rating. Quality measures score 5/5, but that's self-reported data. The last inspection was December 2024, so the record is current. Ask about weekend coverage and that abuse citation specifically.

Jefferson's Ferry runs on unusually heavy staffing for a nursing home, 5.30 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, and it shows in the inspection record, where only a handful of deficiencies appear and none involved actual harm to a resident. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Two abuse-related citations on the current record deserve a direct question about what happened and what changed. Turnover sits near 50%, slightly worse than the national figure, so continuity of caregivers isn't a given despite the strong hours.

State inspectors visited in February 2026 and logged eight deficiencies, none causing harm or jeopardy, though three were abuse-related, worth asking about directly, since those can reflect reporting and screening issues rather than incidents. Church-affiliated and nonprofit, 80 beds. Strong inspection and staffing marks, with a few specific questions worth raising.

The state-run veterans home in Jamaica runs nurse staffing at 4.33 hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 32.6% sits well below the national 45.8%. Weekend coverage, though, drops about 18% below its own weekday level, so care can thin out on Saturdays and Sundays. Ten deficiencies appear on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related. The last inspection was May 2024. State ownership often means steadier funding and lower turnover than the for-profit average, which the numbers here bear out.
