This home is ranked 111th out of 347 homes in New York.| Staff type | Hours / day | 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.
| 29m per day | ▼ 31% 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.
| 33m per day | ▼ 28% 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.

An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on October 21, 2025, identified a deficiency related to the facility’s failure to timely notify a resident’s representative about an incident involving aggressive behavior. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies involving resident rights, care planning, medication administration, staffing levels, infection control, and financial management. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated except for the recent substantiated finding about notification delays, which led to counseling and reeducation of staff. Prior reports noted issues with abuse investigations, accident prevention, and pain management, all of which were corrected within specified timeframes. The facility’s record shows ongoing challenges with communication and care coordination, with some improvements in addressing prior citations.
