Central Queens Rehab & Nursing Center runs about 2.97 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 10% below its own weekday levels. That thin coverage shows up in the staffing star rating, which sits at 2 out of 5. Turnover is 36.5%, actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the problem isn't churn, it's how many hands are scheduled per shift. The record shows 33 deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related, and the last inspection was August 2025, so the picture is fairly current. A 200-bed for-profit operation in Maspeth with mid-range inspection and quality ratings and below-average staffing.

Yonkers Gardens runs 200 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits about 20% under the national average at 3.07 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends drop roughly 12% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 33.1%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some stability in who's actually on the floor. The trouble is the inspection record: 53 deficiencies, including 8 tied to abuse and 2 serious enough to trigger fines totaling $98,914. A 1/5 inspection rating against a 4/5 quality measure score is a wide gap, and the last survey in February 2026 means that record is recent. Ask about the abuse citations directly.

Absolut Center in Gasport runs 83 certified beds and is owned by a for-profit limited liability company. Nurse staffing sits at 3.27 hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover is 55% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The current inspection record lists 12 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with a single fine of $8,281. Its last inspection was July 19, 2024.

Elderwood At Lancaster runs 96 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers show a home stretched thinner than most. Nurse staffing sits at 2.76 hours per resident day, roughly 28 percent below the national average, and weekends drop about 9 percent below its own weekday level, so coverage is lightest exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 77.2 percent is well above the national 45.8 percent, meaning many of the aides and nurses you'd meet are relatively new. The inspection record, last updated in November 2024, carries 16 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspections are where the problems concentrate.

Schofield Residence sits in Kenmore with 120 certified beds and a nonprofit owner, and its 4.20 nurse staffing hours per resident day land about 9% above the national average of 3.86. Weekends tell a different story, though, staffing drops roughly 14% below the home's own weekday levels. The bigger number to sit with is 66.5% annual turnover against a national 45.8%, which means roughly two of every three caregivers left last year. Fifteen deficiencies appear on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one is abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was April 2025.

East Side Nursing Home runs lean on the people who actually deliver care. At 2.76 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 28% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another quarter below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The 48.3% turnover means nearly half the nursing staff leaves each year. That helps explain a 1-out-of-5 staffing rating and 13 deficiencies on record, including one at harm level and three tied to abuse, with $30,635 in fines across four penalties. The 5-out-of-5 quality measure score and 2023 inspection offer some balance, but staffing is where the risk sits.

Chapin Home For The Aging runs a tight ship on inspections, a clean five-star record with just ten deficiencies on file, none of them serious enough to cause harm and none tied to abuse. The last state visit was in September 2024, so the paperwork is current. Where it slips is daily care coverage: 3.19 nurse hours per resident, roughly 17% under the national average, and weekends run about 9% thinner than weekdays. For a 220-bed nonprofit in Queens, the pattern is familiar, solid oversight, thinner hands-on time, especially Saturdays and Sundays.

Northwoods Rehab and Nursing Center at Moravia is a small for-profit home, 40 beds, and its staffing numbers sit under the national average: 3.58 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally, with weekends running about 9% thinner than weekdays. That gap matters more in a building this size, where there's less slack to absorb an absence. Turnover is the bigger flag at 64.2%, well above the 45.8% national figure, and a stable aide who knows your mother's routines is often the difference between a good day and a fall. The 20 deficiencies on record include one abuse-related citation, though none rose to harm or immediate jeopardy, and the last inspection was recent, in November 2025.

Willow Point runs a county-owned, 300-bed home in Vestal, and the staffing numbers are its clearest strength: 4.25 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average. But weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 52.1% against a national 45.8%, so that coverage isn't always steady. The bigger concern is the inspection record, a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 26 deficiencies with two at harm or jeopardy level, two abuse-related, and a $166,364 fine, with the last survey in June 2025. Quality and staffing measures both land at 3 out of 5. Families weighing this one should ask directly about weekend coverage and the abuse-related findings.

The Pines at Glens Falls runs 3.29 nurse staffing hours per resident day, about 15% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops roughly 13% below what it manages on weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 57.8% against a national 45.8%, so familiar faces are hard to count on. Eighteen deficiencies appear on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated March 2026. The quality measure stars look strong here, but that number reflects clinical metrics rather than day-to-day presence of aides and nurses. For a 120-bed for-profit LLC, the question worth asking on a tour is who actually shows up on a Saturday.

The Pines in Olean is county-owned, which matters less than what the numbers show. Nurses provide 3.50 hours of care per resident per day, about 9% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run roughly a tenth thinner than weekdays, so the weakest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Annual turnover sits at 60.8% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the staff you meet this year likely won't be there next. The good news: inspections are recent, the health inspection rating is strong at 4 of 5, and none of the nine deficiencies on record reached harm or jeopardy level. Three are abuse-related, though, which is worth asking about directly.

Meadowbrook runs about 3.44 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 11% under the national average, and weekends drop another 13% below its own weekday level. That gap matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when families often visit and notice. Staff turnover sits at 49%, a few points above the national figure. The inspection record shows 25 deficiencies, none flagged at harm or jeopardy level, but one is abuse-related, worth asking about directly. Ownership is for-profit corporate, and the most recent inspection was October 2024. The quality measure score is decent; the inspection history is the weaker piece. Ask about weekend coverage, turnover on the current staff, and the abuse citation before deciding.

Bezalel Rehabilitation and Nursing Center runs 120 certified beds in Far Rockaway as a nonprofit corporation. Nurse staffing sits at 3.28 hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 8 percent below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit.
What stands out favorably is turnover: 22.4 percent versus a national average of 45.8 percent, meaning aides and nurses largely stay put, which matters for residents who need consistent hands. The record shows 13 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related.
The last inspection was March 2026, so the picture is recent. Quality measure scores come in at 2 out of 5 stars, which is where the weaker numbers cluster.

Fishkill Center runs 160 beds in Beacon under corporate ownership, and its inspection record is the first thing to flag: 30 deficiencies on file, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a $44,500 CMS fine. The last inspection was February 2025, so this is a recent picture, not an old one. Staffing sits at 3.43 nurse hours per resident day, about 11% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 12% below its own weekday level. Turnover of 37.8% actually beats the national 45.8%, which is worth something. The quality measure score looks strong, but it sits alongside a staffing rating of 2 and an inspection rating of 1.

Cortland Park runs on thin staffing. At 3.10 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 20 percent under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 20 percent below its own weekday levels, so care gets thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover tells a related story: 66.1 percent of staff leave each year, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, meaning the people caring for residents are often new. The inspection record is genuinely solid, 13 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with a survey as recent as May 2025. Licensed beds total 120 under for-profit partnership ownership. Strong inspections, shaky daily coverage.

Park Terrace Care Center sits in Corona with 200 certified beds and a for-profit corporate owner. Its total nurse staffing of 3.88 hours per resident day barely edges the national average, and weekends run about 10% thinner than weekdays, so the coverage your family sees on a Tuesday isn't what shows up on a Sunday. The inspection record is where things get harder to explain: 26 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus 12 fines totaling $50,861, with the most recent inspection in September 2025. Resident outcome measures look strong, but that's the piece families can't verify on a tour.

Morris Park runs on 2.74 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 29% below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 10% below what the home already provides on weekdays. That thin coverage sits behind a 1-out-of-5 staffing rating and a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, with 22 deficiencies on the current record, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy. The quality measure score looks strong at 4 out of 5, but those numbers come from resident assessments, not from how many hands are actually available. This is a for-profit LLC with 191 beds, inspected most recently on January 31, 2025. If you're considering it, ask directly how many nurses are on the floor on a Saturday.

Lilac Manor runs 200 certified beds in Rochester under individual for-profit ownership, and its staffing picture is thinner than most: 3.49 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends about 15% below its own weekday level. That gap matters because staff turnover sits at 70%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people covering those thinner weekend shifts are often new. The current inspection record shows 37 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, though none at the harm or jeopardy level; the last full inspection was June 2024. CMS rates its health inspection results at 1 out of 5 stars, which is where the trouble concentrates, not in the quality measures.

Presbyterian Home for Central New York runs 242 beds as a church-affiliated nonprofit, and its record splits along staffing lines. The federal staffing rating comes in at 1 out of 5, meaning nurse hours per resident sit well below what CMS expects, that's the number I'd push on first, because daily coverage shapes everything else. Inspections in April 2024 turned up 24 deficiencies, none rising to actual harm or jeopardy, but two tied to abuse. Quality measures also land at 2 out of 5. A nonprofit mission doesn't automatically translate into enough aides on the floor, and here the staffing figure is the one asking the loudest question.

Sunrise Manor runs about 3.06 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekends dip even further below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up in the staffing rating it received from CMS, which sits at the bottom of the scale, even though its quality measure score looks strong on paper. The inspection record is more troubling than the quality score suggests: 13 deficiencies on file, including one involving actual harm or jeopardy and one tied to abuse, with the most recent survey completed in April 2025. Corporate for-profit ownership, 84 beds, and a recent inspection mean the paperwork is current, but current doesn't mean clean here.
