Nursing Homes & Senior Care in New York

New York is home to 596 CMS-certified nursing homes tracked in the Care Compare directory, each assigned an official Five-Star Quality rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The statewide average overall rating stands at 3.05 of 5 stars. Facilities throughout the state are listed with their overall, health-inspection, and staffing ratings to provide a transparent overview of quality metrics.

The Five-Star rating system serves as a relative quality measure and carries documented limitations. The ratings presented here reflect data from May 2026 and should not be construed as recommendations or guarantees of care quality. The Five-Star rating functions as one factor among several that warrant consideration when evaluating a nursing home. Location, the type of specialized care required, an in-person facility visit, and direct conversations with staff and clinical personnel all play significant roles in the selection process.

Prospective residents and their families should verify each facility's current rating on its live Medicare Care Compare profile before making decisions based on the ratings presented here.

How to read this. The star ratings here are official CMS Five-Star Quality figures, shown as the rating as of May2026 — a relative quality measure with documented limits, not a recommendation, guarantee, or medical/financial/legal advice. Always confirm the current rating and details on the facility’s live Medicare Care Compare profile, and involve the resident and their clinicians in any decision.
