Staffing

All nursing staff, per resident, per day

Registered nurses only
31 minutes

Registered nurses have the most training of the nursing staff on a shift. Residents here are expected to need about 1 hour 10 minutes of their time. This home reports 55% less.

Nursing staff who left in the past year
39%

39% of the nursing staff left within a year. High turnover means the people caring for your family member keep changing. The average New York home reports 40%.

Where the benchmark comes from

Staffing is the measure most closely linked to how residents do, and the one families almost never see. How much nursing care a resident needs depends on how sick they are, so we compare this home against the level its own residents are expected to need. The marker on the first two bars shows that level. It is a research benchmark, not a legal limit. The hours shown are the hours the home filed with Medicare, before any adjustment for how sick its residents are.

What inspectors found

Inspectors visit every nursing home and write up what they find. This home has 20 findings on record going back to 2020, 5 of them after someone filed a complaint. Of the 20, 9 are from the last three years.

Everything on record

Immediate jeopardy 0 Has caused, or was likely to cause, serious injury, harm, impairment or death
Actual harm 0 A resident was hurt
Potential for harm 18 Could have caused harm. No one was hurt. The most common kind.
No harm2Rule was broken but no resident was put at risk. Usually paperwork or procedure.

No finding of actual harm or immediate jeopardy is on this home's record for the period shown.

What these levels mean

Medicare grades a finding by how many residents it reached and how badly. Nothing on this home’s record reached the two most serious grades, immediate jeopardy or actual harm.

This home has 1 finding under three federal tags that are counted together, and they do not all mean abuse: F600 is abuse or neglect, F602 is the wrongful use of a resident’s belongings or money, and F603 is involuntary seclusion. Medicare also publishes a separate abuse warning icon, which is narrower and time-limited, and this home does not currently carry it.

What you can do

Numbers only go so far. These are two things most families do not know they can do.

Ask for today’s staffing sheet

Every nursing home must post how many nurses are working each shift, keep 18 months of it, and show it to you on request. Ask for today’s, then last Saturday’s. Weekends are when staffing thins out.

Call the ombudsman before you decide

Every state has a free, confidential long-term care ombudsman. You can ask how many complaints a specific home has had and what they were about. You can find your state’s office through its department of aging.

Where this comes from

Inspection findings, staffing hours, fines and star ratings on this page are published by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, a federal agency, and are current as of August 1, 2026. We reload after each monthly release, and the footer of every page shows both the release date and the date we loaded it. The federal ID for this home is 335857.

What these numbers do not say

The level of care residents here are expected to need, and the gap, are not Medicare figures. We work them out from this home’s own Medicare case-mix score using the published CASE formula (Harrington and others, Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 2025). It is a research benchmark, not a legal limit.

Inspection findings are recorded by state inspectors on behalf of Medicare. Staffing hours come from payroll records the home files with Medicare, and Medicare audits a sample of them. Star ratings partly reflect quality measures the home reports about itself, which is why we show inspections and staffing separately rather than only the star.
