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.
Bronx Center For Rehabilitation & Health Care runs 200 certified beds under for-profit corporate ownership, and its staffing sits about 11% under the national average at 3.46 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends dip roughly another 11% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. What stands out is retention: 17% annual turnover against a national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses here tend to stay. The current record shows 19 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related. A 2/5 inspection rating and a December 2025 inspection are worth asking about directly, especially how those abuse deficiencies were resolved.
Seagate runs 360 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice: 2.99 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends running roughly 6% thinner than weekdays. Turnover sits at 24.5%, well below the 45.8% national figure, so the people who stay tend to stay, but there are fewer of them per resident than average. The inspection record is where the real weight is: 11 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus 20 fines totaling $215,134. The last inspection was October 2024. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspections do not.
The county runs this 115-bed home in Machias, and its strongest number is staffing: 3.76 nurse hours per resident day, close to the national average, with turnover at 36.8% against a national 45.8%, people here tend to stay. Weekends tell a different story, running about 11% thinner than weekdays. The trouble sits on the inspection side: 12 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, plus a $125,453 fine, with the last inspection in February 2025. CMS rates quality measures 1 out of 5. Staffing is not the problem here; oversight and resident safety are what the record keeps flagging.
Delaware Oaks runs about 3.23 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 16% under the national average, and weekends are thinner still, about 15% below its own weekday staffing. That's the number that matters most, because aide time is what shows up at the bedside. The home carries 21 deficiencies on its current record, none flagged at harm or jeopardy level, but six tied to abuse, which is a lot for a 95-bed building. Turnover sits at 47.4%, slightly worse than the national 45.8%, so the staff caring for your relative is changing often. Its last inspection was August 2024. Ownership is a for-profit partnership.
Terrace View is a 390-bed county-run home in Buffalo, and its numbers pull in different directions. Nurse staffing runs 4.28 hours per resident day, about 11% above the national average, which matters at this size, but weekends drop roughly 11% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the harder part: 18 deficiencies on file, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, plus one fine of $30,843. The last inspection was August 2024. County ownership can mean steady funding; it doesn't erase those findings.
Beach Gardens runs 3.11 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 26.9%, well under the national 45.8%, which suggests a steadier crew than most homes even with fewer hands on shift. The current record shows 12 deficiencies, four of them abuse-related, though none reached the harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was August 2025. Quality measures score mid-range while inspection and staffing both come in at 2 of 5 stars.
Ocean Gardens runs 280 beds in Arverne under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 2.39 hours per resident day, roughly 38% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 35 deficiencies, one at the harm-or-jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection back in September 2023. Turnover at 34.1% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some consistency in who's showing up. The quality measure rating holds at 3 out of 5, but low staffing and that deficiency history are what a family should weigh first.
Our Lady Of Mercy Life Center runs 160 certified beds as a nonprofit, but the numbers show some strain. Nurse staffing sits at 3.62 hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 8% below the home's own weekday levels. Annual turnover is 50.3% against a national 45.8%.
The inspection record is where things get concerning: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, with 25 deficiencies on file, including four tied to abuse. None reached harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was October 15, 2024. Quality and staffing measures both rated 3 out of 5. With half the staff turning over yearly and thin weekend coverage, those inspection findings deserve a closer look before you decide.
Finger Lakes Center For Living sits in Auburn with 80 certified beds, run by a nonprofit corporation. The staffing numbers are a real strength: 4.23 nurse hours per resident day, about 10% above the national average, and turnover at 33.7% beats the 45.8% national figure by a wide margin. Weekend coverage dips roughly 13% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about. The trouble is the inspection record, 11 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse, and $101,300 in fines across two cases, with the most recent inspection in September 2024. Quality and staffing scores look strong on paper; the survey history tells a harder story.
Hempstead Park runs 251 certified beds under individual for-profit ownership, and its staffing is the first thing that stands out: 3.11 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 20% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 11% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is genuinely better than average at 28.9% against 45.8% nationally, so the people who stay seem to stay. The concern is the record itself, 30 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, plus a $15,445 fine, with the most recent inspection in August 2025. Quality measures score well; the staffing and inspection sides don't.
The Montrose veterans home runs a leaner ship than most on staffing turnover, 26.5% against a national average near 46%, and nurse hours per resident sit slightly above the national mark. But weekend coverage drops roughly 14% below the home's own weekday levels, and the inspection record is where things get hard to ignore: 22 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, six tied to abuse, and the last full inspection dates to July 2023. A single $29,153 fine is on the books. State-run ownership doesn't change what families should ask about: what those abuse citations involved, and who's covering the floor on Saturdays.
Highpointe on Michigan runs one of the stronger staffing operations you'll see in Buffalo, 5.41 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 40 percent above the national average, and its 31.6 percent turnover beats the national rate by a wide margin. The problems sit elsewhere. Inspectors have cited 30 deficiencies on the current record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, and the health inspection rating is 1 out of 5. One fine totaling $129,149 has been assessed, with the last inspection in September 2024. Strong hands-on care, weak compliance history. If you're considering this one, ask directly how the abuse-related findings were resolved.
Medford Multicare Center for Living runs 320 beds under corporate ownership, and its numbers pull in opposite directions. Nurse staffing sits at 3.91 hours per resident day, barely above the national average, but weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday levels, and CMS rates staffing just 1 out of 5. Turnover is 36.2%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who stay tend to stay. What weighs heaviest is the inspection record: 31 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse, with a $134,713 fine and a February 2025 inspection. Quality measures score well, but that's self-reported data. The state's findings are the ones worth trusting here.
Northeast Ctr For Rehabilitation And Brain Injury is a 280-bed for-profit home in Lake Katrine, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.64 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 16% lighter than weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 36.2%, better than the 45.8% national figure, and the staffing and quality stars both come in at 4 out of 5. What pulls the record down is the inspection side: 47 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and eight tied to abuse, plus a $25,435 fine. The most recent inspection was November 2024.
Nurse staffing at The Hamptons Center runs 2.93 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly a quarter less hands-on time than the typical home. Weekends are thinner still, about 8% below the home's own weekday level, and a 37.4% annual turnover rate, though better than the national 45.8%, means a lot of the people providing that care are new to the building. The state inspection record is where the real trouble sits: 23 deficiencies, three serious enough to put residents in harm's way, five tied to abuse, and a $150,990 fine. A 5/5 on quality measures doesn't offset a 1/5 on inspections.
Eddy Village Green At Beverwyck runs about 4.76 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 23% above the national average, and weekend staffing dips only about 8% below its own weekday level, unusually steady. Staff turnover sits at 45%, essentially the national rate. The tension is in inspections: a 2/5 health inspection rating, 10 deficiencies on record including one at the harm level and two abuse-related, with the last inspection in December 2023. Quality and staffing measures both rate 5/5, so the clinical numbers look strong while the survey history is where the concerns live. For a 24-bed nonprofit, that mix is worth weighing carefully.
Massena Rehabilitation & Nursing Center runs 160 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers are the first thing to notice: 3.41 total nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average, with weekends dropping about 18% below its own weekday levels. Annual turnover sits at 61.2% against a national 45.8%. The current record shows 41 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, plus three fines totaling $33,387. Its last inspection was August 15, 2025. A 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating and 2-out-of-5 quality measures round out a picture of a home where consistent nurse coverage has been the persistent problem.
Haven Manor runs on 1.67 nurse staffing hours per resident per day, which is roughly 57% below the national average of 3.86. Weekends are thinner still, with staffing about 18% lower than the home's own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover of 27.3% is actually better than the national 45.8%, meaning the staff who are there tend to stay, there just aren't enough of them. The current record shows 19 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but four tied to abuse, and the last inspection was in November 2023. For-profit, limited liability ownership, 240 beds.
Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hospital Extended Care in Penn Yan runs on thinner staffing than most homes in the country, 3.57 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and it gets thinner on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 10% below its own weekday level. The bigger number to sit with is turnover: 68.3% of staff left over the past year, well above the 45.8% national rate, which means the people caring for residents are often new to the building. Federal inspectors cited 16 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and fined the home $21,733. The most recent inspection was in November 2024.
Wells Nursing Home runs on thinner staffing than most places: 3.23 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 19% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays. That pattern matters, because falls and infections don't take Saturdays off. The inspection record shows 16 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with one fine of $8,512 and a survey completed in September 2024. Quality measures score mid-range, but the staffing picture and the harm-level findings are the parts worth asking about directly.
