Degraff Memorial Hospital-Skilled Nursing Facility holds a 3-star overall rating, CMS’s middle tier. Nursing staff turnover of 54% is well above the New York average of 40%; high turnover is one of the strongest predictors of inconsistent care. None of this tells you whether a bed is open, whether your insurance is in network, or whether the facility will accept a given level of care — confirm those three directly with the facility before you commit.
