Fordham Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is a 240-bed for-profit skilled nursing facility in Bronx, New York, established 1982. It provides short-term rehabilitation, long-term care, memory care, and respite services. Medicare and Medicaid certified with 94 percent occupancy averaging 219-230 residents, it maintains resident and family councils and emphasizes personalized recovery pathways.
CMS ratings diverge: 3-star overall (NursingHomeSite) versus 2-star overall (abuse lawyers source), indicating below-average to average performance. U.S. News rated both short-term and long-term care as “As Expected.” Staffing received 1-star (much below average): licensed nursing 53 minutes per resident daily versus NY average 1 hour 31 minutes and national 1 hour 33 minutes; RN hours 17 minutes versus NY 42 minutes. Quality measures 3-star. Recent inspections documented 18 deficiencies, 114 complaints, and 17 citations. Two enforcement actions recorded. Most recent health inspection occurred September 2022, exceeding standard inspection intervals by over three years.
Quality outcome measures reveal concerning patterns: short-stay residents rehospitalized at 26.2 percent (above NY and national averages); new antipsychotic medication use 3.7 percent (elevated compared to NY 1.5 percent and national 1.8 percent); pressure ulcers 0.9 percent (favorable versus national 1.6 percent); physical therapist hours 3 minutes per resident (below NY 7 minutes).
Fordham provides physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech pathology, memory care, and skilled nursing. The facility emphasizes compassionate care and expert therapy teams.
Family reviews are consistently positive, praising staff engagement, therapy effectiveness, cleanliness, and personalized care. Testimonials report five-star experiences and meaningful recovery outcomes.
Fordham suits families seeking established rehabilitation and long-term care while verifying current CMS ratings resolving the 2-to-3-star range, obtaining documentation of 18 deficiencies and two enforcement actions, assessing staffing adequacy despite the 1-star rating, understanding the elevated short-stay rehospitalization pattern, conducting multiple unannounced visits to verify contemporary compliance, and recognizing the 3+ year inspection gap.
Staffing hours breakdown
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.
| Staff type | Hours / day | 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.
| 58m per day | ▲ 38% 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.
| 7m per day | ▼ 85% 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.
| 1h 53m per day | ▼ 14% State avg: 2h 11m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day |
|
Total Nursing (Weekend)
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 42m per day | ▼ 15% 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.
| 4m per day | ▼ 43% State avg: 7m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
RN (Weekend)
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.
| 47m per day | ▲ 68% State avg: 28m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
