Central Queens Rehabilitation and Nursing Center is a 200-bed for-profit skilled nursing facility in Maspeth, Queens County, operated for both short-term rehabilitation and long-term care. Medicare and Medicaid certified, it maintained 98 percent occupancy as of recent data, with 195 residents currently resident.
The facility carries a one-star overall CMS rating and a one-star health inspection rating as of September 2025. Its compliance history shows sustained challenges: state surveyors assigned it the lowest health inspection rating for 35 of the 47 months between July 2021 and September 2025. Recent records document 328 complaints on file, 34 deficiencies, and 24 total citations. Families should request detailed information about specific corrective actions taken to address these findings before committing to placement.
Central Queens provides physical, occupational, and speech therapy alongside skilled nursing services. Patients receive an average of 2.85 hours of daily nursing care combining registered nurse, licensed practical nurse, and nursing aide hours, which falls below both New York state averages (3 hours 36 minutes) and national averages (3 hours 46 minutes). The facility offers patient lounges, dining areas, recreational rooms, an on-site beautician, private bathrooms, and fully furnished rooms.
The facility paid one fine totaling $658 in the most recent three-year period. It participates in both Medicare and Medicaid. Queens Hospital Center is approximately 1.4 miles away and New York-Presbyterian/Queens is 3.3 miles away, providing nearby hospital resources. Residents interested in returning home following rehabilitation can reference publicly available quality measures and readmission data when evaluating outcomes.
Central Queens is not recommended without extensive facility evaluation and verification of compliance improvements. Families exploring rehabilitation or long-term care in Queens should compare this facility carefully with higher-rated alternative options in the area and ask directly about staffing plans, deficiency resolution timelines, and resident outcomes before scheduling tours.
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
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.
This home is ranked 264th out of 388 homes in New York. Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
| Staff type | Hours / Day / Resident | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
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.
| 22m per day | ▼ 48% State avg: 42m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
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.
| 33m per day | ▼ 28% State avg: 46m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
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 7m per day | ▼ 3% State avg: 2h 11m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day |
|
Weekend Total Nursing
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.
| 2h 46m per day | ▼ 13% State avg: 3h 10m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day |
|
Physical Therapist
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.
| 6m per day | ▼ 14% State avg: 7m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
Weekend RN
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 |
