41 Medicare- or Medicaid-certified facilities in Bronx, of which 4 currently carry the federal abuse flag. Bronx County overall has 44 certified facilities (county average rating 3.5/5). Across the 40 rated facilities here the average CMS overall rating is 3.5/5, against 3/5 across the 550 rated facilities elsewhere in New York.
How to read this table: "Overall" is the CMS star rating, which combines inspections, staffing, and quality measures from resident assessments and claims; "Inspection" is the on-site health inspection rating — the most independent signal, and the one CMS grades on a curve against other facilities in the same state. Flags are federal abuse citations and Special Focus status.
These figures cover the 41 facilities in this city, excluding nearby alternatives. They describe published records, not current vacancies or a recommendation.

Both averages use the same 40 facilities, with equal weight per facility. 1 facility is excluded because one or both values are unavailable. These are CMS case-mix-adjusted measures, not the hours any individual resident is guaranteed to receive.
Weekend staffing is lower than the all-week figure at 40 of these 40. Ask how weekend coverage and response times are maintained. This difference alone does not establish unsafe care.
