CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the federal agency that regulates nursing homes) Overall 5-star rating — a composite of Health Inspection, Staffing, and Quality Measures scores. 5 stars = top 10% nationally. 1 star = bottom 10%. The single most important number to start with when comparing facilities.
Care Types in This Table AL (Assisted Living): Housing with help for daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication, without 24-hour skilled nursing. NH (Nursing Home): 24/7 skilled nursing care for residents with complex, ongoing medical needs. SNF (Skilled Nursing Facility): Round-the-clock nursing care, often for recovery after surgery, injury, or illness. MC (Memory Care): Secured, specialized care for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia. RC (Respite Care): Short-term temporary care that gives family caregivers a break. IL (Independent Living): Community living with dining, activities, and transportation for active seniors who need little personal care. HC (Home Care): Professional care delivered in the person's own home, from companionship to skilled nursing. HOS (Hospice Care): Comfort-focused care for those with a terminal illness, prioritizing quality of life over treatment. ADC (Adult Day Care): Daytime supervision, health monitoring, and social activities for seniors who live at home. PC (Palliative Care): Comfort-focused care for serious illness at any stage, including alongside curative treatment. CCRC (Continuing Care Retirement Community): A campus with multiple care levels so residents can age in place without moving.
Neighborhood or city area where the facility is located. Proximity to family, hospitals, and green space matters for both quality of life and ease of visitation. Consider drive time and transit access when evaluating location.
Licensed bed capacity. Larger facilities (300+ beds) often have more specialized programs but can feel institutional. Smaller homes (under 150 beds) tend to deliver more personalized care. Compare with Avg Res/Day to understand how full the facility typically runs.
Percentage of licensed beds filled on an average day. Color indicates financial health: green (90%+) = operationally strong, typically profitable. Amber (80–89%) = stable but leaving revenue on the table. Orange (70–79%) = financial strain likely, may struggle with fixed costs. Red (<70%) = significant distress, closure or ownership change risk increases sharply.
This facility's occupancy rate compared to the statewide average for similar facilities. A positive number means above-average demand. Facilities running 5%+ above the state average are typically the most sought-after in their market — a strong proxy for reputation.
CMS-adjusted total nurse hours per resident per day (RN + LPN + CNA combined). The national average is approximately 3.5 hrs. Higher is better — more direct care time per resident. Below 3.0 is a red flag. CMS weights RN hours more heavily because RNs handle complex clinical decisions that CNAs cannot.
A 0–100 score of a facility's regulatory inspection record, shown as a letter and compared with other facilities of the same kind in the same state. This is a proprietary Assisted Living Magazine grade. It is not a government rating. A dash means we have no inspection data for that facility.
CMS Health Inspection star rating (1–5 stars), based on the 3 most recent annual state surveys plus any complaint investigations. This is the hardest rating to manipulate — it reflects real surveyor findings on-site. 5 stars = fewest deficiencies found. 1 star = most. It carries the heaviest weight in the Overall CMS rating.
CMS Staffing star rating (1–5 stars), based on daily nurse staffing hours submitted to CMS via verified payroll data. Compares RN, LPN, and CNA coverage relative to resident acuity level. 5 stars = well above expected staffing. Weekend staffing is evaluated separately, as that's where many facilities quietly reduce coverage.
CMS Quality Measures star rating (1–5 stars), based on 15 clinical outcome metrics including fall rates, pressure ulcers, antipsychotic drug use, and hospital readmissions. Captures actual resident health outcomes, not just compliance. High QM combined with low Health Inspection scores can indicate a facility with strong care but weak documentation practices.
Registered Nurse hours per resident/day compared to the statewide average. RNs are the highest-skilled nursing staff — they assess residents, manage medications, and respond to emergencies. A value of +50% means RN coverage is 50% above the state norm. Negative values are a concern for residents with complex or acute medical needs.
Total nursing staff hours (RN + LPN + CNA combined) per resident/day vs. the statewide average. A broader measure than RN vs State — it captures the entire care team. A facility can have high total staffing but low RN hours, meaning more aides and fewer nurses. Read both columns together for the full picture.
Total dollar amount of federal monetary fines (civil money penalties) issued by CMS in the past 3 years. Fines are only levied for serious violations — typically actual harm to residents, repeated uncorrected deficiencies, or systemic non-compliance. Even a single fine is noteworthy. Multiple fines strongly suggest a pattern, not isolated incidents.
Total health deficiency citations from the most recent standard inspection cycle. Minor citations (scope A–C) are common and often administrative in nature. Higher counts aren't always disqualifying, but should be read alongside Severe Citations to understand actual harm levels. Under 10 is strong for a large facility; 30+ warrants a closer look.
Average deficiency citations per CMS inspection (survey) in the reporting window — total citations divided by the number of inspections. Lower is better; compare alongside total Citations and Severe Citations for context.
Citations at CMS scope/severity level G or higher — G–I means actual harm occurred; J–L means residents were placed in immediate jeopardy. (D–F is potential for harm only). Examples include unaddressed falls, medication errors causing injury, neglect, or abuse.
Average number of residents in the building on any given day, derived from annual census data. Reflects true operating scale — a 400-bed facility running 200 residents/day operates very differently from one at 390. Higher resident counts generally mean more funded staffing hours.
Better Business Bureau rating (A+ to F). Reflects complaint history, business transparency, and how family disputes were resolved. A+ means no significant unresolved complaints. A blank (—) means the facility isn't BBB-accredited, which is common for healthcare providers and not necessarily a negative signal.
Walk Score® (0–100). Measures walkability of the surrounding area. 90–100 = Walker's Paradise. 70–89 = Very Walkable. 50–69 = Somewhat Walkable. Below 50 = Car-Dependent. Higher scores benefit family visitors, resident outings, and staff commuting.
The licensed owner or operator of record filed with CMS — the individual or organization legally accountable for the facility. Searching the operator name across other facilities can reveal chain or multi-site ownership, which matters: chain-operated homes tend to have more variable quality outcomes than independently run facilities.
What the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts — not gross billings. Taken from the latest complete annual cost report, so it is comparable across homes reporting the same period. Revenue alone doesn't indicate care quality, but it funds staffing and capital reinvestment. Pair with Payroll %. Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.
Staff salaries plus wage-related benefits from the latest complete annual cost report. Contract and agency labour is counted separately, under other operating costs, so a home leaning on agency staff can show a low figure here. Payroll is the cost most directly tied to care quality — compare with Payroll % for full context. Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.
Payroll as a share of NET PATIENT REVENUE (not gross revenue). Both figures come from the same cost-report year. A higher figure means more of each revenue dollar goes to staff pay. Read with the Staffing star rating to judge whether spend translates into coverage — and note that homes whose patient revenue covers only part of their operation can read implausibly high. The New York average is: 55.7% Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.

Overview of Schofield Residence Nursing Facility

Schofield Residence Nursing Facility in Buffalo, NY, opened in 1980 and has 120 beds. It provides nursing home, nursing care, skilled nursing, adult day care, home care, hospice care, and palliative care. Nursing and skilled nursing include licensed nursing support around the clock. Adult day care serves people who need care during the day, while home care brings services to a person’s residence.

Hospice and palliative care focus on comfort for people with serious or end of life illness. Rehabilitation and short term rehabilitation support recovery after an illness, injury, or hospital stay, and programs are also available for traumatic brain injury and veteran care. The range of services may suit someone needing skilled nursing, short term recovery, comfort focused care, traumatic brain injury support, or veteran care. Total nurse staffing is 4 hours and 24 minutes per resident per day, which represents the daily amount of nurse time allocated to each resident.

Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted.

Overview of Peconic Landing at Southold

Peconic Landing at Southold occupies 1500 Brecknock Road in Greenport, New York, a Continuing Care Retirement Community run by Peconic Landing at Southold, Inc. It’s not built around one level of care. Nursing home services, assisted living, independent living, memory care, respite care, and skilled nursing all exist under a single organization, with independent living available in cottages or apartments and more intensive care ready if a resident’s needs shift.

Sixty beds, 83 percent occupancy, and a Walk Score of 74, solidly walkable for a coastal North Fork community. Peconic Landing accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, and the staffing numbers back up the CCRC structure: total nursing care runs 5 hours and 29 minutes per resident, per day, a substantial figure in this field.

The amenities here go well beyond what most facilities offer. A half-mile of private Long Island Sound beach isn’t something you find at a typical nursing home. Add a heated indoor pool, two tennis courts, and a sculpture garden, and the picture starts to look more like a resort community than institutional care. A full calendar of fitness, educational, and social programming fills out daily life, backed by rehabilitation services, respite care, nursing services, and staff on-site around the clock.

On the regulatory side, the compliance record here has been consistently clean.

Peconic Landing at Southold adds up to a coastal Continuing Care Retirement Community that combines genuine care continuity, nursing home through independent living, with amenities and a compliance record that set it apart from a standard skilled nursing facility.

Overview of RiverSpring Residences

RiverSpring Residences, located on Palisade Avenue in the Riverdale area of the Bronx, is managed by The Hebrew Home for the Aged at Riverdale. This 69-bed facility provides many types of care in one spot: nursing home help, assisted living, independent living, memory care, home care, hospice, and palliative care. Having all these options is a big plus for families who want a place that can adjust as health needs change. They accept Medicaid, Medicare, and private payments.

Right now, 63 out of 69 beds are filled, which is a 91% occupancy rate. The average resident stays for about 153 days, covering both those there for quick recovery and those living there long-term. Riverdale has a Walk Score of 56, which means you can walk to some places, but having a car is usually a good idea for getting around.

Registered nurses spend about 53 minutes a day with each resident, and the total nursing care from all staff adds up to about 3 hours and 17 minutes daily per person. They offer specific programs like Independent Living 65+, Assisted Living Medicaid, Certified Home Health Aide services, Licensed Home Care, and Geriatric Care Management.

The facility has nice apartments, dining that feels like a restaurant, a gym, a hair salon, 24-hour front desk help, and planned bus rides. Residents also have plenty of daily activities and community events to choose from.

The New York Department of Health regularly checks the facility. Previous inspections mentioned some issues with how care plans and paperwork are handled. If you take a tour, it is a good idea to ask the staff how they create and update each person’s specific care plan to make sure everyone gets exactly what they need.

RiverSpring Residences is a very complete choice for senior care in the Bronx. With its 69 beds, seven different types of care, clear staffing numbers, and acceptance of Medicaid and Medicare, it is a strong option for families looking for a place that can handle many different health situations as they evolve.

Overview of Gurwin Jewish Nursing & Rehabilitation Center
