D'youville Care for Advanced Therapy runs 33 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and the staffing numbers stand out: 5.51 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 43% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 6% below its own weekday level, which is worth knowing if family visits cluster on Saturdays and Sundays. Annual turnover sits at 54.5%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, so even with strong daily hours, some churn is real. The inspection record is clean where it matters most, five deficiencies on file, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and the last survey was July 25, 2025.

Ozanam Hall runs 432 beds in Bayside as a nonprofit, and its staffing numbers tell a mixed story. Nurses provide 3.49 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 7% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 30.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses you meet are more likely to still be there next year. Inspections in October 2024 turned up 17 deficiencies, none at the harm level, though one was abuse-related. With 4/5 on quality and staffing measures and 3/5 on inspections, this is a solidly middle-to-upper home, not a standout.

Mount Carmel Care Center sits in Lenox with 69 certified beds and a church-affiliated nonprofit owner, and its nurses put in 4.10 hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average, with weekend coverage running about 6% thinner than its own weekdays. That staffing edge is real, but it's undercut by 73.3% annual turnover against a 45.8% national figure, meaning the people providing that care are largely new to the building. The record shows 22 deficiencies, one serious enough to trigger a harm-level citation, plus a single $46,410 fine. The most recent inspection closed in April 2025, so the picture is current. Good daily coverage, unstable workforce, and a recent serious finding, that's the tension worth weighing.
