Long Island Nursing Home Ratings and Violations

Nursing home care is essential for long term and short term elderly residents throughout Long Island. It is wise to review the homes you are considering as thoroughly as possible to find out about violations, citations, and corrective actions reported by the federal government or New York State.

These nursing home ratings can provide useful insight into the quality of care when evaluating which nursing home is right for your loved one.

CMS Ratings System

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), a federal agency within the United States Department of Health and Human Services, has created a five star quality rating system for nursing homes. These ratings for nursing homes across the United States can be found on the federal government website at Care Compare on Medicare.gov.

NY State DOH Nursing Home Profiles

The NY State Department of Health also provides ratings to allow patients and their families on Long Island to easily determine the performance of NY nursing homes.

They include an overall rating as well as ratings in five domains of care including:

Preventative Care
Quality of Care
Quality of Life
Resident Safety
Resident Status
