Ellicott Center For Rehabilitation And Nursing

Buffalo, NY · Erie County

CMS 1/5160 bedsFor-profitMedicaid
Nurse hours
3.48 /day
Staff turnover
61%
Serious cites
0

Ellicott Center runs 160 certified beds in Buffalo under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers worth knowing start with staffing: 3.48 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dropping roughly 17% below its own weekday coverage. That thinner weekend floor is where gaps tend to show up. Staff turnover sits at 61.3%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means aides and nurses are cycling through often enough that familiarity with residents is hard to build. On the inspection side, the home carries 33 deficiencies on its current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus a $10,868 fine. The last inspection was February 2025, so the record is recent.

Carthage Center runs about 3.25 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 16% under the national average, and its weekends dip about 26% below its own weekday coverage, so the aide or nurse available Monday may not be there Saturday. Staff turnover sits at 68.6% against a national 45.8%, which means more than two-thirds of the nursing staff turned over in a year. The 31 deficiencies on record include none flagged for harm or abuse, and the last inspection was in September 2024. The quality measure score is high, but that reflects charted care, not the hands on the floor.

Nurse staffing at Rochester Center runs 3.27 hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 18 percent below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 61.1 percent against a national average of 45.8 percent, meaning more than half the nursing team leaves within a year. On the inspection side, the record shows 30 deficiencies, two of them harm-level and one abuse-related, with a $9,315 fine and a January 2025 inspection. This is a for-profit LLC, and the low staffing and inspection ratings line up with the turnover.

Oneida Center For Rehabilitation And Nursing

Utica, NY · Oneida County

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
56%

Oneida Center runs 120 beds under corporate ownership, and its biggest problem shows up in the staffing numbers. At 3.07 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 20% under the national average of 3.86, weekends drop about 14% below its own weekday levels, and annual turnover hits 56.4% against a national 45.8%. Inspections tell a quieter story: 25 deficiencies on record, but none at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, with the last visit in December 2024. Quality measures look decent at 4 stars, though that can reflect charting as much as care. The daily experience here likely depends on how thin the floor gets.

Special Focus Facility

Onondaga Center runs 82 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing is the first thing that stands out: 3.25 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 16% under the national average, with weekends about 20% thinner than weekdays. Turnover sits near 70% against a national rate around 46%, so the people caring for residents keep changing. The inspection record backs that up, 48 deficiencies, four serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, three tied to abuse, and $191,992 in fines across three penalties. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation for homes with a pattern of poor inspections. The most recent inspection was in November 2025.

Abuse icon on record

Ontario Center runs on 3.02 nurse hours per resident per day, well under the 3.86 national average, and weekends drop about 22% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage sits alongside 80.6% annual turnover, meaning most of the people caring for residents weren't there a year ago. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of poor inspections, and the record backs that up: 41 deficiencies, including three at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus a $117,878 fine. One star on health inspections and one on staffing, with a state survey completed in January 2025.
