Overview of Morningside Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

Morningside Nursing and Rehabilitation Center sits on Pelham Parkway South in the Bronx, a 314-bed nursing home that covers a lot of ground under one roof: skilled nursing, assisted living, hospice, palliative care, and rehab. The neighborhood scores a 64 on Walk Score, so you can knock out a few errands on foot, but you’ll still want a car for most trips.

Right now the building is nearly full; 308 of 314 beds are occupied, which puts occupancy at 98%. Residents stay an average of 130 days, and that number tells you something: this isn’t purely a long-term nursing home. It’s set up for people cycling through after a hospital stay just as much as for residents settling in for good.

The nursing hours back that up. A registered nurse spends about 1 hour and 11 minutes with each resident daily, and nurse aides put in close to 2 hours per resident per day, hands-on time that matters most in a skilled care setting.

The programming leans into that dual purpose. There’s 24/7 skilled nursing care, short-term rehab, cardiac rehab, and enteral nutrition therapy for residents who need specialized medical support alongside recovery. Outside of the clinical side, residents can get a haircut at the on-site barber shop, attend religious services across denominations, take advantage of a family and friends transport program, join therapeutic recreation, get pet visits, or head out on organized trips.

Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted, so families have more than one way to make the numbers work. State inspectors with New York’s Department of Health, Office of Aging and Long Term Care have tended to keep an eye on resident rights and protections here, one of the areas regulators return to most often at nursing homes generally. Put together, the staffing hours, the medical programming, and a building that’s nearly at capacity all point the same direction: this is a facility built for residents who need real nursing support, whether that’s a short recovery stretch or a longer stay.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in New York State

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in New York State?

Assisted living in New York State supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in New York State?

Assisted living in New York State is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does New York State Medicaid cover assisted living?

New York State Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including New York State) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 365 assisted living facilities in New York State. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in New York State?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in New York State, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in New York State?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
