Inspection History

In New York, the Department of Health, Office of Aging and Long Term Care performs unannounced onsite inspections to monitor compliance with state and federal healthcare regulations.

Since 2024 · 2 years of data 0 enforcement actions 10 violations 1 inspection
Inspection Score Info A composite 0–100 score combining this facility's inspections, citations, complaints, and enforcement actions relative to the New York state average. We don't score profiles with fewer than 3 inspections on record because a small inspection history reads as "below average" on every count-based metric — that would over-reward a facility just for being new.

Limited inspection history. Only 1 inspection on record — not enough to score against the New York benchmark.

New York assisted living residences benchmark: C+ 77/100
