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.

Staffing hours breakdown

Info Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.

Hours per resident per day — compared to New York state averages

Staff typeHours / dayvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes. 19m per day ▼ 55% State avg: 42m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care. 53m per day ▲ 15% State avg: 46m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life. 2h 19m per day ▲ 6% State avg: 2h 11m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Total Nursing (Weekend) Info Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours. 3h 7m per day ■ Avg State avg: 3h 10m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Info Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation. 5m per day ▼ 29% State avg: 7m per day · National avg: 4m per day
RN (Weekend) Info Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent. 9m per day ▼ 68% State avg: 28m per day · National avg: 28m per day

Inspection Reports Summary Info An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.

The most recent inspection on July 14, 2023, identified multiple deficiencies related to drug labeling, physician visits, abuse reporting, resident rights, and building safety features, all of which were corrected by August 25, 2023. Earlier inspections during the same period showed no deficiencies, indicating that the issues found in the latest inspection were isolated rather than part of a broader pattern. Inspectors cited concerns primarily in medication management, resident care documentation, and facility safety systems. No fines, enforcement actions, or license suspensions were listed in the available reports, and complaint investigations during this time were unsubstantiated. The correction of all deficiencies and the absence of citations in other inspections suggest improvement following the July findings.
