Overview of Wells Nursing Home INC

Wells Nursing Home INC is a 100-bed nonprofit skilled nursing facility in Johnstown, New York, serving residents across Fulton County with 24-hour skilled nursing care, memory care, rehabilitation services, and respite care.

The facility holds a 1-star overall CMS rating, with staffing the primary driver. Nurse staffing averages 3 hours and 29 minutes per resident per day, placing the facility in the lower half of New York’s 388 skilled nursing facilities. That said, its inspection deficiency rate of 4 per year is 22% below the New York state average of 5.1, a meaningful counterpoint to the overall rating.

The most recent inspection, in September 2024, cited five deficiencies — covering abuse and neglect protections, drug labeling, Medicaid/Medicare notices, and life safety items — all of which were corrected. A $9,000 civil money penalty accompanied that inspection, 87% below the statewide average for penalized facilities. Seven active lawsuits are on record with no closed cases reported.

Clinical services include physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, along with wound care, wound vac services, IV therapy, and hospice and palliative care, which round out the clinical offerings. The facility’s 98% influenza vaccination rate among employees reflects a consistent infection-prevention posture.

The facility’s occupancy rate is 96%, well above New York’s average of 88.3%, with an average resident length of stay of nearly 11 months and 73% of current residents on Medicaid.

Wells Nursing Home INC is best suited for long-term Medicaid residents — including those with memory care needs, complex wound or infusion requirements, or end-of-life care goals — who require continuous clinical support in a community-based, nonprofit setting in Johnstown.

Standout metric LPN / LVN is +11% above state avg
Staff type Hours / Day / Resident vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes. 23m per day ▼ 45% State avg: 42m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care. 51m per day ▲ 11% State avg: 46m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life. 1h 44m per day ▼ 21% State avg: 2h 11m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Info Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours. 2h 29m per day ▼ 22% State avg: 3h 10m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Info Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation. 7m per day ▲ 4% State avg: 7m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Info Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent. 8m per day ▼ 70% State avg: 28m per day · National avg: 28m per day
