Overview of Morningstar Residential Care Center

Morningstar Residential Care Center is a 120-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility operated by a family-owned company at 17 Sunrise Drive in Oswego, New York.

Accepted are Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.

CMS rates the facility 1 star, with all four sub-ratings below the New York average. Across eight inspections since 2022, the facility averaged 13 deficiencies per year, 155 percent above the state average of 5.1. Two immediate jeopardy findings are in the record: a March 2024 citation for CPR failure involving substandard quality of care, corrected by April 2024, and an August 2025 citation involving failure to honor a resident’s advance directive. A May 2025 inspection identified 30 deficiencies spanning ADL care, dialysis, infection control, nutrition, and extensive life safety systems failures. No fines or license suspensions exist. Nurse hours run 3h 40m per resident per day, modestly above New York’s average of 3h 29m. Aligned with New York’s 88.3 percent state average, occupancy stands at 88 percent.

Standout metric LPN / LVN is +3% above state avg
Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs 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. 47m per day ▲ 3% 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. 2h 7m per day ▼ 3% State avg: 2h 11m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day

PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation. 5m per day ▼ 32% 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. 13m per day ▼ 55% State avg: 28m per day · National avg: 28m per day
