Good Shepherd-Fairview Home INC is a 54-bed nonprofit skilled nursing and rehabilitation community in Binghamton, New York, offering independent living, enhanced assisted living, skilled nursing, and short-stay rehabilitation, with memory care and respite care. The facility is operated by Fredrick Allabaugh and serves Broome County and has provided residential healthcare services for nearly 140 years. It accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.
The facility holds a 3-star overall CMS rating. Its 4-star Health Inspection rating places it above the New York average for inspection performance, though its 2-star Quality Measures rating lowers the overall score. The inspection record carries a notable finding: a January 2025 complaint survey cited an immediate jeopardy-level deficiency for accident hazards and supervision, corrected by December 2024. Over the reported period, the facility averaged 8.3 deficiencies per year — 63% above the New York average of 5.1 — with no fines or enforcement actions on record.
Staffing is a clear strength. Total nursing hours average 4 hours and 17 minutes per resident per day, ranking 55th of 388 New York SNFs, with nurse aide hours 22% above the state average and physical therapy hours more than double the state average — figures that directly support rehabilitation outcomes.
The facility’s occupancy rate is 91%, close to the New York average of 88.3%. The facility features 24-hour staffing, a Therapeutic Recreation Department, a Wellness Center, and secured entrances. The average length of stay is 59 days, and physical therapy hours are well above state averages.
Good Shepherd-Fairview Home INC is best suited for residents in the Binghamton and Broome County area who need short-term post-acute rehabilitation and seeking nursing care following surgery, illness, or injury.
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.

This home is ranked 54th out of 387 homes in New York for nurse hours. Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
| 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.
| 45m per day | ▲ 6% 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.
| 1h 12m per day | ▲ 56% 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 44m per day | ▲ 25% 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.
| 4h 20m per day | ▲ 37% 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.
| 15m per day | ▲ 119% 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.
| 33m per day | ▲ 19% State avg: 28m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
