Warren Center runs about 3.27 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average, and weekends dip another 10% below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover is 71.1%, well above the 45.8% national figure. That combination shows up in the inspection record: 36 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, with a $9,318 fine. The quality measure score tells a different story, but quality measures are largely self-reported, while inspections are not. One thing worth noting: the most recent inspection is dated April 2026, so the 36-deficiency count may not yet reflect whatever surveyors found that day.
Auburn Rehabilitation & Nursing Center runs 92 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits around 3.22 hours per resident day, roughly 17% under the national average. Weekends are thinner still, about 22% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage drops exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover runs 52% against a national 45.8%. The current record carries 24 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus a $10,901 fine. The last inspection was January 2025. With two stars each for health inspections and staffing, the pattern worth asking about is consistency: whether the same caregivers are there week to week and whether weekend coverage holds up.
Oneida Health Rehabilitation And Extended Care runs 160 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its nursing hours come to 3.17 per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 15% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record shows 26 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus a single fine of $16,153, with the most recent survey dated January 27, 2026. No abuse-related citations appear. The staffing rating reflects those hours directly; the two-star inspection result reflects the deficiency history.
Heritage Park runs on 2.34 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 39% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday levels. That thin coverage is the main story here, and it lines up with ten deficiencies on the current record, three of them abuse-related, though none at the harm or jeopardy level. The nonprofit ownership doesn't change the math: turnover sits at 46.3%, essentially matching the national rate, and the last health inspection was in March 2024. If you're weighing this one, ask how they cover weekends and what's changed since that inspection.
Elderwood Of Uihlein At Lake Placid runs 156 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing. At 2.62 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly a third below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 61.3% outpaces the national 45.8%, which matters because consistent caregivers know residents' routines. The current record shows 26 deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was October 2024. State surveyors rated health inspections 2 out of 5 stars.
Granville Center runs on 3.01 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22 percent under the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 11 percent below what it manages on weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 74.3 percent, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, that's most of your caregivers replaced within a year. The current record shows 23 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level but one tied to abuse, with the last inspection in December 2024. The corporate owner runs this for profit. Quality measures score well, but that's the number families see last; staffing is the one they feel daily.
Susquehanna Nursing & Rehabilitation Center runs 160 certified beds in Johnson City under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are where families should look first. At 2.99 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 22% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 14% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover of 56.8% tops the national 45.8%, meaning caregivers cycle through faster than average. The inspection record shows 31 deficiencies, including one at harm level and one abuse-related, with a $32,321 fine and a one-star health inspection rating. Last inspected September 2024.
River Ridge runs leaner than most. At 3.12 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 19% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 13% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 67.9% against a national 45.8%, meaning roughly two of every three caregivers left within the year. The inspection history is the harder read: 37 deficiencies on the current record, four tied to abuse, and a one-star health inspection rating, though none of those deficiencies rose to harm or jeopardy level. A single $3,387 fine is on file, and the last inspection was March 2025.
Elderwood at Ticonderoga is a for-profit, LLC-run home with 84 certified beds in Essex County, and its staffing is the number that stands out: 3.01 nurse hours per resident day, about 22 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage runs roughly 9 percent thinner than weekdays, and turnover sits at 48.6 percent against a national 45.8 percent. The current inspection record shows 27 deficiencies, two of them abuse-related, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and CMS has fined the home once for $4,516. Its last inspection was July 15, 2024. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, sit at 2 out of 5.
Baptist Health in Scotia runs 262 beds as a nonprofit, and its staffing is where the trouble starts: 3.12 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 9% below its own weekdays. That gap matters because aides and nurses are thinner when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 52.7% tops the national 45.8%, so the people providing that care keep changing. The current record shows 17 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was in October 2023. A nonprofit with a stable building and a thin, churning floor staff is the honest picture here.
Palatine Nursing Home runs on 2.37 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 39 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 5 percent below its own weekday level. Federal data gives it the lowest staffing rating, and turnover sits at 61 percent against a national 45.8, meaning most of the aides and nurses your family would see are new or on their way out. The inspection record shows 15 deficiencies, none rising to harm or jeopardy, though one is abuse-related. A for-profit LLC operates its 70 beds, and the last state inspection was January 22, 2026. Ask about weekend coverage and actual caregiver retention before deciding.
Heritage Green runs on 2.42 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly a third below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 11% below its own weekday coverage. That staffing shortfall shows up in the federal stars: one out of five, while inspections and quality measures each sit at two. Staff turnover is 51.1%, higher than the 45.8% national rate, so caregivers are cycling through faster than average. The current record carries 16 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none involve abuse. This is a nonprofit corporation with 134 certified beds and a recent inspection, dated February 27, 2026, a lot of eyes on the place, but the hours at the bedside tell the bigger story.
West Lawrence Care Center runs on thin staffing. At 2.55 nurse hours per resident per day, it sits roughly a third below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 8% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The current record shows 32 deficiencies, five of them abuse-related, though none rose to actual harm or jeopardy. Inspectors were last in on August 4, 2025. This is a 215-bed for-profit LLC in Far Rockaway, and its turnover rate, 46.2%, is essentially the national norm, which tells you the staffing problem isn't mainly about retention, it's about how few hours the building budgets in the first place. Ask what the afternoon and weekend aide-to-resident ratios actually look like before you decide.
St Patrick's Home runs on 3.38 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average, and the gap widens on weekends when coverage drops about 19% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits near 60%, well above the national figure, which matters because 18 deficiencies are on the current record, including one at the harm level and five tied to abuse. A $51,500 fine and a February 2024 inspection round out the picture. The quality measures look strong and the nonprofit church ownership is stable, but thin staffing and high turnover are the throughline here, the kind of thing that quietly shapes daily care.
Van Rensselaer Manor runs on 3.21 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17% under the national average, and weekends drop about 16% below its own weekday staffing. Staff turnover sits at 48.3%, a couple points above the national figure, and the inspection record shows 33 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse. The most recent inspection was April 1, 2026, so the findings are current rather than dated. County ownership means taxpayers, not a chain, carry the operation. With the quality measure rating at 1 out of 5 and health inspections at 2, the numbers point to a home where residents get less nursing time than average and the state has documented repeated problems. If you're considering it, ask directly how the weekend shifts get covered.
Corning Center runs on thin staffing, and the numbers say so. At 3.20 nurse hours per resident per day, it sits about 17 percent under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 24 percent below its own weekday levels, which matters most when families visit and aides are stretched thinnest. Annual turnover of 64.5 percent is well above the 45.8 percent national figure, so the people caring for your relative are likely to change often. What keeps this home from looking worse on paper is a clean inspection record: 11 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, no abuse findings, and a March 2024 inspection. The care seems safe; the question is whether there's enough of it.
Clinton County Nursing Home runs on thinner staffing than most places, 3.30 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 24% below its own weekday levels, so coverage is noticeably lighter when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 74.4%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people caring for residents are often new. The current inspection record shows 35 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level but six tied to abuse. The last inspection was July 2023, so that record is getting old. County ownership is stable, but the numbers behind the C grade point to thin, shifting staffing more than anything else.
Elderwood At Liverpool runs 160 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble starts. At 3.52 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 9% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 14% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The staffing star rating comes in at 1 out of 5, with quality measures at 2 and health inspections at 3. Its record shows 17 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, plus one fine of $56,921. The last inspection was February 2026, so the picture is current.
Elderwood At Hornell passes its health inspections cleanly, a five-star record, just eight deficiencies and none of them causing harm or involving abuse. The trouble is who's left to do the work. At 2.75 nurse hours per resident day, staffing sits roughly 29% under the national average, and it thins out further on weekends. A 63.5% annual turnover rate means most of the aides and nurses on a given shift are relatively new, which matters more when there are fewer of them. One fine of $4,194 is minor. For-profit LLC ownership, 122 beds, last inspected in February 2024. Strong surveys, thin coverage, families should ask pointed questions about evening and weekend staffing specifically.
Elderwood At Cheektowaga runs 3.27 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average, and weekends dip another 15% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up in a 63% annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the aides and nurses walking into residents' rooms are often new to the building. The current inspection record carries 23 deficiencies, including three tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. Quality measures look strong at 4 out of 5 stars, but the 2-star health inspection and 2-star staffing ratings, under for-profit LLC ownership, tell a more cautious story.
