Every nursing home CMS records under this group, and how the portfolio performs as a whole. Consistency
across a group says more about an operator than any single building.
Champlain Valley Physicians Hosp Med Ctr S N F is a 95-bed nonprofit in Plattsburgh, and its numbers pull in different directions. The health inspection side looks solid, a 4 out of 5, with the last survey in January 2025 and no deficiencies rising to harm or jeopardy. But staffing is a real problem at 1 out of 5, meaning nurse hours per resident fall well below the national average, and quality measures sit at just 2. That combination, decent inspections on paper but thin staffing day to day, is worth weighing carefully. There are 17 deficiencies on record, four of them abuse-related, which a family should ask about directly before deciding.
Alice Hyde runs a tight clinical ship on paper, its quality measure rating sits at 4 out of 5, and the staffing rating matches. But the hours aren't quite there: 3.67 nurse hours per resident day lands about 5% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 10% below the home's own weekday coverage. That matters, since turnover is 57.1% against a national 45.8%. The inspection record is the real weight, 19 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level, six tied to abuse. The most recent survey closed in December 2025, so it's current, but a 2-star inspection rating alongside that count tells you the problems are recent enough to still be shaping care.
Woodridge Nursing Home in Barre runs a genuinely strong staffing operation, 4.94 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 28% above the national average of 3.86, which is what earns it a four-star staffing rating. That cushion matters, since weekend coverage drops about 18% below its own weekday level. The harder question is stability: annual turnover sits at 62.6% against a national 45.8%, meaning a large share of those hours are delivered by people who weren't there last year. The inspection record reflects that tension, 32 deficiencies on file, including 10 abuse-related citations and one at the harm level, with a two-star health inspection rating and a $21,453 fine. The most recent inspection was September 12, 2025.
