Absolut Center is a 160-bed nursing home in upstate New York, situated in a very walkable neighborhood where errands and essential services are within reach on foot (Walk Score 82). Running at 99% occupancy, it serves a mix of short-term rehabilitation residents and those requiring longer-term skilled care, with the average resident staying roughly five months.
The facility operates its own rehabilitation, respite, and short-term post-acute programs. It maintains a dedicated program for residents with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Dining is restaurant-style with therapeutic menu options available. Staffing hours indicate consistent clinical support: 4 hours 43 minutes of total nursing care per resident daily, supplemented by 3 hours 2 minutes of nurse aide assistance.
The facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. Inspection records reveal systemic compliance challenges spanning multiple years. State inspectors have consistently identified deficiencies in care planning, resident rights documentation, environmental safety, and fire protection systems.
While some corrections have been implemented, the facility has struggled with recurring gaps in infection control practices, assistance with activities of daily living, and building safety features. Investigation of resident complaints has yielded mostly unsubstantiated findings. One substantiated incident involving abuse and neglect allegations was isolated in nature and has been corrected.
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.

| 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.
| 32m per day | ▼ 23% 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.
| 58m per day | ▲ 24% State avg: 47m 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 13m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 2h 11m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day |
|
Weekend Total Nursing
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 55m per day | ▼ 10% State avg: 3h 14m per day · National avg: 3h 27m 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.
| 2m per day | ▼ 68% State avg: 7m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
Weekend RN
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.
| 11m per day | ▼ 63% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 29m per day |
