Nursing Homes in New York Rated Poor
Staffing, staffing, staffing. All too frequently insufficient staffing leads to a lack of quality care and preventable harm. Failure to adhere to Government standards indicate that most nursing homes do not have the levels of staffing necessary to meet the needs of typical nursing home residents.
Star ratings are designed to help individuals and their families make informed choices. Ratings can be deceptive as nursing homes often know in advance when their facility will be audited. Look for homes that consistently have “good” ratings and do not have “many” violations.
The Centers for Medicaid/Medicare Services has implemented the Special Focus Facility (SFF) Program to inform of persistent facilities with a very poor record of resident safety and care. Even this program has severe limitations as it is limited to just 88 facilities nationwide. Three facilities in New York (see below) are on the list.
