What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★☆☆☆☆1/5 · CMS overall rating: 2/5
The health inspection star above is graded on a curve within each state — a set share of each state's facilities gets each star level — so a facility can have few citations and still rate 2–3 stars if others in its state did even better. The overall rating combines that inspection score with staffing and self-reported quality measures.
Most serious findings (actual harm or immediate jeopardy)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Mar 21, 2022 · F-0600
The facility did not protect residents from abuse or neglect. This covers physical, mental, and sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect, by anyone — staff, other residents, or visitors.
Why it matters: Abuse and neglect cause direct physical and emotional harm and are among the most serious failures a nursing home can have.
Severity (G): One or a few residents were actually harmed — physically or emotionally — though not put in immediate danger of serious injury or death.

| Date | Severity | What the facility was cited for |
|---|---|---|
| Dec 4, 2025 | D · Potential for harm, one-off | The facility did not immediately notify the resident, their doctor, and a family member when something significant happened — such as an injury, a decline in health, or a room change. Families and doctors are entitled to know right away. · from a complaint |
| Jan 29, 2025 | F · Potential for harm, facility-wide | The facility did not dispose of garbage and refuse properly. · from a complaint |
| Jan 29, 2025 | E · Potential for harm, repeated | The facility did not properly protect the personal money residents deposited with it for safekeeping. |

| Jan 29, 2025 | E · Potential for harm, repeated | The facility did not have enough nursing staff each day to meet every resident's needs, or did not have a licensed nurse in charge on each shift. Adequate staffing is one of the strongest predictors of good care. · from a complaint |

| Aug 21, 2024 | D · Potential for harm, one-off | The facility did not provide safe and appropriate pain management for a resident who needed it. · from a complaint |
| Aug 8, 2024 | D · Potential for harm, one-off | The facility did not protect residents from abuse or neglect. This covers physical, mental, and sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect, by anyone — staff, other residents, or visitors. · from a complaint |

Nurse staffing (from payroll records, adjusted for how much care residents need)
| Measure | This facility | New York avg | U.S. avg | Where it stands |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total nurse staffing (hours per resident per day) | 3.87 | 3.58 | 3.95 | top 31% in New York; top 45% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.59 | 0.68 | 0.69 | top 46% in New York; top 50% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 3.25 | 3.13 | 3.50 | top 35% in New York; bottom 44% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.35 | 0.48 | 0.48 | bottom 48% in New York; bottom 41% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 34.6 | 40.3 | 45.8 | top 41% in New York; top 23% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 42.5 | 39.8 | 42.9 | bottom 40% in New York; bottom 49% in the U.S. |
Hours are per resident per day, case-mix adjusted by CMS so facilities caring for sicker residents can be compared fairly (same basis as the CMS staffing star). "Top X%" means better than most facilities: more staffing hours, or lower turnover. Raw (unadjusted) reported hours: total 3.35, RN 0.51, weekend 2.81. Staffing rating: 3/5.
