Overview of Bronx Center for Rehabilitation & Health Care

Bronx Center for Rehabilitation & Health Care is a 200-bed skilled nursing facility in Bronx, New York, part of Centers Health Care network operating 34 facilities. It provides short-term rehabilitation, long-term care, memory care, and specialized therapies. Medicare and Medicaid certified with approximately 97 percent occupancy averaging 193-196 residents, it emphasizes recovery-focused rehabilitation through RehabStrong™ programming using advanced therapy technology.

CMS ratings conflict substantially: 5-star overall (NursingHomeDatabase) versus 4-star overall (1800nynylaw); U.S. News rated both short-term and long-term as “As Expected.” Health inspection 3-star (average); most recent May 2021, over four years ago. Staffing 2-star (below average). Quality measures 5-star. Ownership designation contradictory; some sources state the owner is a for-profit corporation, and others state it’s owned by a nonprofit organization. Recent inspections documented 11 deficiencies, 44 complaints, 11 citations, and two health citations. ProPublica records infection-control standard violations.

Licensed nursing 3.66 hours per resident daily, slightly below national 3.90. Long-stay quality measures 5-star, demonstrating strong performance on hospitalization, emergency visits, antipsychotic use, fall injuries, pressure ulcers, urinary tract infections, and catheter management.

Bronx Center provides physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech pathology, memory care, short-term rehabilitation, long-term nursing, and wound care. The facility emphasizes community and staff stability through long-tenured staff and family-centered culture.

Family testimonials report successful therapeutic outcomes, recovery progress, and compassionate staff engagement. Reviews cite effective rehabilitation and supportive community environment.

Bronx Center suits families able to conduct rigorous independent verification. Before placement, families must resolve contradictory ownership and CMS ratings (4-star versus 5-star), obtain documentation of 11 deficiencies and infection-control violations, verify current staffing adequacy despite 2-star rating, assess the impact of the four-year inspection gap, conduct multiple unannounced visits across all shifts, and independently verify contemporary care quality and safety protocol compliance before deciding on admission.

Since 2021, the record shows 22 total citations, 69 percent above New York average of 13, alongside 96 complaints and 9 complaint investigations, with 1 enforcement action.

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 44 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.
