Auburn Rehabilitation & Nursing Center is a 92-bed for-profit skilled nursing facility in Auburn, Cayuga County, established in 1970. It provides skilled nursing, short-term rehabilitation, long-term care, dementia care, and respite care with customized rehabilitation planning. Medicare and Medicaid certified with 92 percent occupancy averaging 84.6 to 85.4 residents, it emphasizes compassionate care supporting physical and emotional wellbeing within residential and therapeutic programming.
Auburn received a one-star overall CMS rating, significantly below state average of 3.33 and national average of 3.32, positioning it in the lowest quality quartile nationally. U.S. News designated both short-term rehabilitation and long-term care ratings as “Below Average.” Licensed nursing hours average 1.24 per resident daily, below the national average of 1.4. The most recent health inspection occurred February 14, 2023, exceeding the standard 9-15 month inspection interval by approximately two years. Recent inspection records documented 57 deficiencies, 102 complaints, and 53 citations. The facility reported 3 incidents and 16 substantiated complaints with zero fines or payment denials.
Auburn offers physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech pathology, dental care, clinical labs, mental health services, and 24-hour physician oversight. U.S. News specifically noted poor weekend-to-weekday staffing parity, indicating inconsistent care continuity across the week.
A sharp discrepancy exists between Auburn’s claimed 2024 five-star quality measures designation and National Quality Award recognition against the one-star overall CMS rating and below-average care designations. This variance indicates either recent unmeasured operational improvement or significant measurement methodology divergence requiring direct verification.
Auburn suits only families able to conduct comprehensive independent assessment and verification. Before placement, families must directly verify current CMS ratings reconciling facility claims, review deficiency documentation for all 57 deficiencies, understand the 102-complaint and 16-substantiated-complaint records, confirm licensed nursing adequacy, assess weekend staffing equity relative to weekday operations, conduct multiple unannounced visits across different days and hours, and recognize the three-year inspection gap necessitating current in-person evaluation.
Staffing hours breakdown
Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
| Staff type | Hours / Day / Resident | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
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.
| 35m per day | ▼ 17% State avg: 42m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
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
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.
| 2h 2m per day | ▼ 7% State avg: 2h 11m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day |
|
Total Nursing (Weekend)
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 47m per day | ▼ 12% State avg: 3h 10m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day |
|
Physical Therapist
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.
| 8m per day | ▲ 14% State avg: 7m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
RN (Weekend)
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.
| 15m per day | ▼ 46% State avg: 28m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
