Sapphire Nursing And Rehab At Goshen

Goshen, NY · Orange County

CMS 5/524 bedsFor-profitMedicaid
Nurse hours
3.81 /day
Staff turnover
27%
Serious cites
0

Sapphire Nursing and Rehab at Goshen is a small place, just 24 certified beds, individually owned for profit, and its inspection record is genuinely clean: 17 deficiencies on file, none of them at the harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with a survey completed in April 2025. Nurse staffing sits slightly under the national average at 3.81 hours per resident day, and weekends run about 11% leaner than weekdays, so ask how coverage holds up on a Saturday. The standout number is turnover at 27.3%, well below the 45.8% national average, which suggests a steadier crew than most. Quality measures score 5/5; staffing scores 3/5.

Staff turnover

Sapphire Nursing At Meadow Hill runs about 3.38 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 12% under the national average, and weekend coverage dips another 13% below its own weekday level, worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover sits at 25.2%, well below the national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses you meet are more likely to still be there next year. The record shows 30 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related citation, with the most recent inspection in April 2025. Its quality measures score high, but staffing is where the shortfall shows.

South Shore Rehabilitation And Nursing Center

Freeport, NY · Nassau County

CMS 3/5100 bedsFor-profitMedicaid
Nurse hours

Staff turnover

South Shore runs about 2% below the national average for nurse staffing, at 3.80 hours per resident day, and weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday levels, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. The 24 deficiencies on record include one abuse-related citation, though none reached harm or jeopardy, and the last inspection was recent enough to reflect current conditions. Staff turnover sits slightly better than the national figure, which matters for continuity of care. The split in the federal ratings is worth noticing: quality measures look strong while inspection and staffing results lag. For-profit corporate ownership rounds out the picture.

Safire Rehabilitation Of Southtowns, L L C

Buffalo, NY · Erie County

CMS 2/5120 bedsFor-profitMedicaid
Nurse hours

Staff turnover
43%
Serious cites
0

Safire Rehabilitation of Southtown runs about 3.44 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11 percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 12 percent below its own weekday staffing. That thinner weekend coverage matters more than the overall number, since needs don't pause on Saturdays. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 22 deficiencies, though none reached harm or jeopardy level and none involved abuse, and one fine of $10,489. Staff turnover sits at 43.4 percent, slightly better than the national 45.8 percent, which is a small point in its favor. Ownership is for-profit and individual. The last inspection was in December 2025, so the record is current.

Sapphire Center For Rehabilitation & Nursing Of Ce

Flushing, NY · Queens County

CMS 2/5227 bedsFor-profitMedicaid
Nurse hours

Staff turnover
32%
Serious cites
0

Sapphire Center runs about 2.27 nurse staffing hours per resident day against a national average near 3.86, roughly 41% below. Weekends drop further, about 10% below its own weekday levels. That thin coverage sits behind the 1-out-of-5 staffing rating and a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, with 28 deficiencies on record, including three at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. Fines total $87,741. Turnover is the one bright spot: 32.3% versus the national 45.8%. This is a 227-bed for-profit partnership in Flushing. The quality measure stars look strong, but they're self-reported data, the inspection and staffing numbers tell you what happens on the floor.

Tonawanda, NY · Erie County

Staff turnover

Safire Rehabilitation of Northtowns runs 100 certified beds in Tonawanda under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is the part that stands out: 35 deficiencies on file, 6 of them abuse-related, against a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating. None of those deficiencies rose to actual harm or jeopardy, and the most recent inspection was in March 2025, so the record is current rather than stale. Nurse staffing sits at 3.79 hours per resident day, just under the national average, and weekends run roughly 16 percent leaner than weekdays. Turnover is 39.2 percent, which is better than the 45.8 percent national figure. The quality measure rating of 4 out of 5 contrasts sharply with the inspection result.

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
56%
Serious cites
0

Sapphire Nursing at Wappingers runs 62 beds in Dutchess County under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice: 3.24 nurse hours per resident day, about 16% under the national average, with weekends dropping roughly 21% below its own weekday level. More than half the nursing staff turned over in a year, 55.9% against a national 45.8%. The inspection record shows 35 deficiencies, five tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was April 2024. Quality measures score well, but a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating and thin weekend coverage are the tradeoffs worth weighing.

Fishkill Center For Rehabilitation And Nursing

Beacon, NY · Dutchess County

CMS 2/5160 bedsFor-profitMedicaid
Nurse hours

Staff turnover

Fishkill Center runs 160 beds in Beacon under corporate ownership, and its inspection record is the first thing to flag: 30 deficiencies on file, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a $44,500 CMS fine. The last inspection was February 2025, so this is a recent picture, not an old one. Staffing sits at 3.43 nurse hours per resident day, about 11% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 12% below its own weekday level. Turnover of 37.8% actually beats the national 45.8%, which is worth something. The quality measure score looks strong, but it sits alongside a staffing rating of 2 and an inspection rating of 1.
