Overview of The Paramount at Somers Rehabilitation and Nursing Center

Somers’ Paramount is a large skilled nursing operation: 300 beds, 96 percent occupied, Medicare-approved since 1970, part of the 34-facility CareRite network. The place accepts Medicare, Medicaid, private funds. Daytime average: 271 residents. Nine branded programs run: short-term rehab, orthopedic focus, wound care, long-term capacity, amputee specialty, memory care (Urban Zen), recreation, concierge services, culinary track.

The CMS rating card tells two stories. Short-term recovery outcomes earn 5 stars; excellent. Health inspections score 4.

But staffing gets 1 star. Here’s why: nurses provide 2 hours 32 minutes per resident daily. New York’s average is 3 hours 29 minutes.

National baseline is roughly 3 hours 30 minutes. This facility ranks 374 out of 388 New York facilities for nursing hours. RN turnover sits at 45 percent; nurse aide hours fall 23 percent below state norms. Physical therapy runs 4 minutes per resident per day against a state average of 7 minutes; a 43 percent gap.

Regulatory record: 10 state inspections since 2019 produced 25 citations (92 percent above the state average). Recurring themes: how care is delivered, medication administration, how staff handle resident needs, building safety. The facility corrects deficiencies promptly. The most recent inspection (November 2024) found multiple violations; the facility fixed them by early 2025.

Eighty-one complaints appear on file; none were substantiated by investigators.

Two enforcement orders were issued (Aug 2024, Sept 2025) for quality of care concerns.

No financial penalties were assessed.

Litigation: 17 lawsuits filed since 2019. Three are active. One stayed. Thirteen disposed. Most recent hearing: April 30, 2026.

The community is four miles to Northern Westchester Hospital, with a Walk Score of 42 (car required most trips).

The Paramount at Somers excels at short-stay rehabilitation (5-star rating) yet operates with staffing levels ranked near the bottom statewide and faces ongoing regulatory scrutiny, two enforcement actions, and substantial litigation.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care in Westchester County, NY

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

Assisted living in New York 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.

Does New York Medicaid cover memory care?

New York Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, but most states (including New York) 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 memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.
