Every Medicare-certified nursing home in New York, graded on inspections, staffing, turnover
and enforcement history.
18 homes
in the state sit in the federal Special Focus programme.
Delmar Center runs 120 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.51 hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 18% below the home's own weekday staffing, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record is heavy: 72 deficiencies, six of them abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated March 13, 2026. CMS rates health inspections and staffing at one star each, though its quality measure score reaches four. That split tells the story, the clinical metrics look decent, but the day-to-day inspection and staffing picture is where the concern sits.
Robinson Terrace runs on 3.09 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a fifth below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 17% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 50.5% against a national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses your family member sees are changing often. Inspections are a genuine bright spot: a 4/5 health inspection rating, 16 deficiencies on record with none at the harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent visit was February 2026. One abuse-related deficiency is on the books, which is worth asking about directly. Quality measures and staffing both score 2/5. Corporate-owned, 120 beds.
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.
Utica Rehabilitation & Nursing Center runs 120 certified beds under corporate ownership, and the numbers worth knowing are on the staffing and inspection side. Nurses provide 3.32 hours per resident day, roughly 14 percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 16 percent below what the home itself staffs on weekdays. Turnover sits at 61.5 percent against a national 45.8 percent, so the people caring for residents change often. The record shows 38 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level and four abuse-related, with $197,425 in fines and an inspection just completed in February 2026. Quality measures score well, but staffing and compliance are where the risk sits.
Chautauqua Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Dunkirk runs 216 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers tell a split story. The health inspection record is genuinely strong, a five-star rating, ten deficiencies on file with none at the harm level, and just under $9,000 in fines across three citations. Where it falls down is staffing: 2.87 nurse hours per resident day sits about 26% under the national average of 3.86, weekends run roughly 16% thinner than weekdays, and turnover near 50% edges past the national figure. A clean inspection history matters, but it reflects conditions at one point in time, the last visit was December 2023. Daily coverage is what families actually live with, and that's the tradeoff here.
Highland Rehabilitation And Nursing Center runs about 3.44 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 19% below its own weekday staffing. That gap matters, because the question for any family is who's actually on the floor on a Saturday.
Turnover sits at 53.7% against a national 45.8%, so more than half the nursing staff leaves within a year. The current record shows 39 deficiencies, none flagged at harm or jeopardy level, but one is abuse-related. State inspectors were last in on July 3, 2025, and the health inspection rating came back 1 out of 5. It's a for-profit LLC with 98 certified beds. Ask about weekend coverage and how they screen staff before you decide.
Elderwood Of Lakeside At Brockport runs about 2.69 nursing hours per resident each day, roughly 30% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops about 19% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Turnover sits at 68.5% against a national 45.8%, which means most of the aides and nurses around your relative are relatively new. The good news: the state's last inspection was in April 2025, and the home carries just seven deficiencies with none at the harm level and none abuse-related. So the care problems here aren't neglect or safety citations, they're thin coverage, especially on weekends, which is worth asking about directly.
Elderwood At Wheatfield runs about 2.95 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 19% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up in the numbers: 59.3% annual turnover, well above the 45.8% national figure, and a 2-out-of-5 staffing rating from CMS. The 123-bed for-profit home carries 13 deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm level, but one abuse-related, and its last inspection was August 2024. Quality measures score well at 4 out of 5, so resident care indicators look stronger than the staffing that delivers them. Ask about weekend coverage and turnover before touring.
Park Nursing Home runs 3.12 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 6% below its own weekdays, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover at 36.4% is better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters, but the current record carries 21 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm level and 4 tied to abuse. The last inspection was August 2025, so the picture is recent, and the quality measure rating of 1 out of 5 suggests resident outcomes aren't tracking well either. Two fines totaling $12,463 round out the record.
Mayfair Care Center runs 200 certified beds in Hempstead under for-profit corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.28 hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent under the national average of 3.86, with weekend coverage dropping another 8 percent below its own weekday levels. That thinner weekend floor matters because the home carries 23 deficiencies on its current record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a $41,308 CMS fine and a two-out-of-five inspection rating. Turnover at 29.5 percent is genuinely better than the 45.8 percent national figure, which suggests some stability in the workforce. The last inspection was September 25, 2024; quality measures score one out of five.
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.
Elderwood At North Creek runs 82 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 2.50 hours per resident day, roughly 35 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 12 percent below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is 38.5 percent, which is actually better than the 45.8 percent national figure, and the 12 deficiencies on record include none at the harm level and none tied to abuse. The tradeoff shows up in the staffing and quality stars, where the home scores 1 and 2 out of 5, while its last inspection was September 2024.
The Grand Rehabilitation and Nursing at Pawling runs on thinner nurse staffing than most homes, 3.45 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 13% below its own weekday levels, which is when families tend to visit and notice. Turnover sits at 53.4%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents change often. Its inspection record carries 27 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, with a $10,519 fine, and the last inspection was in April 2023. For-profit corporate ownership, 122 beds.
You're looking at a hundred-bed for-profit home in Elizabethtown where the numbers tell two different stories. The clinical quality measures look decent, and 19 deficiencies with none at the harm level isn't alarming on its own, but three of those are abuse-related, and that's the kind of thing you ask about directly. What stands out more is the workforce: nurses provide about 3.25 hours of care per resident per day, roughly 16 percent under the national average, and weekends run thinner than weekdays. Staff turnover near 82 percent, against a national 46, means the people showing up are often new. Inspectors last visited in November 2024. Ask how they hold staffing steady on Saturdays.
Elderwood At Lockport runs 3.54 nurse hours per resident per day, about 8% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 6% below its own weekday coverage. Staff turnover sits at 51.5% against a 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents are changing often. Ten deficiencies are on the current record, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a single fine has totaled $94,185. The last inspection was May 2025, so the picture is reasonably recent. For-profit LLC ownership, 126 beds, and staffing that trails the benchmark by a small but steady margin, that's the pattern worth weighing against the location and your own visits.
Latta Road Nursing Home East runs a 40-bed operation in Rochester, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.48 hours per resident day, about 10% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 8% below what the home itself manages on weekdays, meaning coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Staff turnover lands at 45.7%, essentially matching the national rate, so that's not the outlier here. What stands out more is the inspection record: 17 deficiencies currently on file, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, along with a single fine of $8,979. The last inspection was in April 2025, so the picture is reasonably current rather than stale.
Putnam Ridge is a 160-bed for-profit home in Brewster, and its inspection record is the thing to look at first. Forty-four deficiencies are on file, including four tied to abuse and one at the level where a resident was actually harmed or put in jeopardy. That's a lot of findings, and the one-star health inspection rating reflects it. Nurse staffing runs 3.62 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 9% below its own weekday numbers, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover sits near the national average, which is the one number here that isn't a concern. The last full inspection was in October 2023, so ask what's changed since.
The Grand Rehabilitation and Nursing at River Valley runs on thinner nurse staffing than most homes, about 3.16 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dropping roughly 19% below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 24.6%, which is actually well below the national 45.8%, so the people who stay tend to stay. The current record carries 28 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but three tied to abuse, and the last inspection was January 28, 2026. Quality measures score lowest of the three CMS categories. It's a 160-bed for-profit corporation, recently inspected, with a mixed record worth asking about directly.
A Holly Patterson Extended Care is a 589-bed state-run home in Uniondale, and its numbers pull in different directions. Staff turnover sits at 15.7%, well below the 45.8% national average, yet total nurse staffing is 2.79 hours per resident day, roughly 28% under the national figure of 3.86, and weekends run about 14% leaner than weekdays. That gap matters more than the retention number, because steady staff who aren't there in enough numbers still can't cover the floor. The inspection record is the harder problem: 21 deficiencies, six at harm or jeopardy level and four abuse-related, with three fines totaling $141,265. New York State owns it, so there's no corporate chain to blame or petition, the accountability runs to Albany.
Prestige Nursing Care & Rehab Center runs 400 certified beds in the Bronx under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.49 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends about 12% thinner than its own weekdays. Staff turnover is 37.1%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so retention isn't the weak spot here. The inspection record is: 12 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, and a single fine of $8,788. The most recent inspection was April 16, 2026. CMS gives it 3 stars for health inspections, 3 for staffing, but just 1 for quality measures.
