Info below is compiled from CMS reports & the NY State Dept. of Health (NYSDOH), senior community websites & trusted data sources such as Walk Score & BBB.

Communities are listed from highest-ranked to lowest-ranked based on our methodology.

The facility name. Click to view the full profile page on Assisted Living Magazine, including photos, services, and contact info.
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 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. HOS (Hospice Care): Comfort-focused care for those with a terminal illness, prioritizing quality of life over treatment. PC (Palliative Care): Comfort-focused care for serious illness at any stage, including alongside curative treatment.
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 The Five Towns Premier Rehabilitation & Nursing Center

The Five Towns Premier Rehabilitation & Nursing Center sits at 1050 Central Avenue in Woodmere, New York, in a neighborhood where most errands don’t require a car. With a Walk Score of 79, the area is considered very walkable, so families visiting residents can park once and handle a lot on foot.

It runs 280 beds, and right now 277 of them are filled, putting occupancy at 99%. That kind of demand doesn’t happen by accident, and it points to a nursing home that families in the area keep choosing.

Nursing staff are on-site 24 hours a day, and residents can get rehabilitation therapy and respite care without leaving the building. Occupational, physical, and speech therapy all happen on-site too, along with palliative care for residents who need it. There’s also a beauty salon, which is a small detail, but it’s the kind of thing that makes a place feel less clinical and more like somewhere people actually live.

Nurse aides spend the most one-on-one time with residents, averaging 2 hours and 17 minutes per person each day. Registered nurses average 43 minutes, and LPNs average 42 minutes. Families weighing hands-on daily care against clinical oversight can use these numbers as a starting point for their own comparisons.

The facility accepts both Medicaid and Medicare, which opens up more than one route for covering the cost of care. That matters for families trying to figure out what’s financially realistic before they even walk through the door.

Karaoke hour, ice cream parties, bingo, and afternoon movie screenings show up regularly, giving residents something to look forward to beyond the basics of daily care.

New York’s Department of Health, Office of Aging and Long Term Care, inspects nursing homes statewide, and the areas it typically looks at include infection control, fire safety, emergency preparedness, documentation practices, and general housekeeping. Those are the standard categories regulators check across the board, not anything specific to this facility alone. Between the staffing hours, the payment flexibility, and the round-the-clock nursing presence, Five Towns Premier looks like a facility built for residents who need consistent, hands-on care rather than a lighter-touch living arrangement.

Overview of Delaware Oaks Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing

Delaware Oaks Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing provides nursing home care, respite care, and skilled nursing in Buffalo, NY. Skilled nursing means licensed nursing care is available on site around the clock, while respite care supports a short stay when a usual caregiver needs temporary relief.

Short term rehabilitation is also available for residents who need therapy during a recovery stay. The community opened in 1966 and has 95 beds, with 99% occupancy meaning that nearly all beds are in use.

EN Operations Aquisitions operates Delaware Oaks Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing. Music and Memory Programs give residents structured activities involving music and memory, and restaurant style dining shapes how meals are served.

The respite option may be a good fit for a family whose usual caregiver needs temporary care coverage while traveling or recovering.

Overview of Momentum at South Bay for Rehabilitation and Nursing

Momentum at South Bay for Rehabilitation and Nursing sits at 340 East Montauk Highway in East Islip, a 160-bed skilled nursing facility run by Suffolk Restorative Therapy and Nursing, LLC. Occupancy runs high here, 97 percent, with 155 of 160 beds filled. That’s about as close to full as a facility gets.

Staffing is where this place actually distinguishes itself. Total nursing care averages 3 hours and 49 minutes per resident, per day, and registered nurses alone account for 53 minutes of that. Those aren’t vague promises about “attentive care,” they’re concrete numbers that reflect real clinical depth. The area itself is car-dependent, Walk Score of 17, so getting around means getting behind the wheel.

The clinical programming backs up that staffing investment. Diabetes Management and Education, Amputee Rehabilitation, and a 30-Day Medicare track are all named, structured programs, not generic service categories. Cardiology and vascular monitoring, wound care, and post-COVID-19 rehabilitation round out the specialized care lineup. Outside the clinical side, there are gardens, a bakery, and a gym, small things, but they matter for daily quality of life.

Inspections here have tended to focus on infection prevention and control and care planning and documentation, the kind of operational areas regulators routinely review at facilities handling complex medical cases.

What this shows is a skilled nursing facility built for residents who need real clinical intensity: strong staffing numbers, named specialty programs, and a structure clearly calibrated for more complicated medical needs than a typical long-term care setting.

Overview of Fasny Firefighter’s Home

125 Harry-Howard Avenue in Hudson is where you’ll find Fasny Firefighter’s Home, a 92-bed nursing home and skilled nursing facility run by the Firemen’s Association of the State of New York. It’s set in a genuinely walkable part of town. The Walk Score here is 88, which means you can get most errands done without ever needing to start a car.

Right now the place is running at 94% occupancy, 86 out of 92 beds filled. That’s not a building trying to fill empty rooms. It’s one that’s already found its footing in the Hudson community. Staffing is around the clock, so there’s someone there to help no matter what time it is, day or night.

New York’s Department of Health, through its Office of Aging and Long Term Care, is the one that inspects this place. What their reviews have tended to focus on is care planning and documentation, basically how well the facility keeps track of what’s going on with each resident’s care. That’s a paperwork-and-process category, not a measure of how residents are actually treated day to day.

If you’re looking for a place where consistent, round-the-clock nursing support is the priority, and where the surrounding neighborhood makes it easy for family to stop by without fighting traffic or hunting for parking, Fasny Firefighter’s Home fits that profile. High occupancy plus steady staffing points to a facility that’s settled into a rhythm, not one still working out the kinks.

Sixty-two of the 190 beds at Sapphire Nursing at Meadow Hill are set aside specifically for Alzheimer’s and memory care. That’s not a footnote; it’s nearly a third of the building. The facility sits at 172 Meadow Hill Road in Newburgh, Orange County, run by Newburgh Operations, LLC, in a neighborhood that scores 86 on the Walk Score index. Very walkable, in practical terms: groceries, a pharmacy, most day-to-day errands don’t require getting in a car.

Occupancy sits at 96 percent, with 182 of 190 beds filled. A number that high on a facility this size usually means steady demand rather than a building working to fill vacancies. Sapphire runs two tracks at once. Short-term rehabilitation covers people recovering from surgery, illness, or a hospital stay, while long-term nursing care covers residents who need ongoing support. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy sit underneath the rehab side of that equation.

The staffing numbers tell their own story. Registered nurses average 28 minutes per resident each day, licensed practical nurses another 28, and nurse aides just over two hours, landing at a combined 3 hours of nursing time per resident daily. Named programming includes cardiac care, dietary care, certified dementia care, and a recreation activities schedule, layered onto the facility’s short-term and long-term care structure.

New York’s Department of Health, Office of Aging and Long Term Care, is the regulator reviewing this facility, and its inspection history has tended to focus on emergency preparedness. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted, so the financial pathway into the building isn’t limited to one type of coverage.

What emerges is a facility built around two distinct populations under one roof: rehab patients cycling through on a short-term basis, and a substantial dedicated memory care population getting longer-term, dementia-specific support, all sitting in one of the more walkable corners of Orange County.

Overview of Hempstead Park Nursing Home

Sunshine Care Corp operates Hempstead Park Nursing Home, a 251-bed nursing home on Front Street in Hempstead, Nassau County. It’s been open since 1998, and the building sits close in, just 0.6 miles from the city center in a very walkable stretch (Walk Score 73). Most errands here don’t require a car.

At 94 percent occupancy, the facility currently houses 221 residents, and it runs both a resident council and a family council, which means there’s a standing, formal way for people to weigh in on how things operate. The care model spans a wide range: physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, short-term rehab, and respite care for families who need a break. Hempstead Park also handles dementia and Alzheimer’s care, which puts memory care under the same roof as its skilled nursing and hospice services. Nursing coverage comes out to 2 hours and 47 minutes of total care per resident each day, with registered nurses accounting for 20 minutes of that.

Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted, so families have more than one route to financing a stay. State inspectors have tended to focus their reviews here on medication management, staff credentials, environmental safety, and how well the facility documents and plans resident care, along with resident rights protections. Taken as a whole, this is a facility built for volume and range: short-term rehab, long-term nursing, hospice, and memory care all operating out of the same 251 beds, serving residents whose needs shift over time rather than staying fixed.

Yes — New York State Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.
