Inspection Score Info A composite 0–100 score combining this facility's inspections, citations, complaints, and enforcement actions relative to the New York state average. We don't score profiles with fewer than 3 inspections on record because a small inspection history reads as "below average" on every count-based metric — that would over-reward a facility just for being new.

Limited inspection history. Only 1 inspection on record — not enough to score against the New York benchmark.

New York assisted living residences benchmark: C+ 77/100
