New York

New York surged higher in overall nursing home care, up 20 spots from its dreadfully low No. 45 ranking in the past two report cards.
New York scored “A” grades in every enforcement measure for the first time.
Despite New York’s strong showing, the state failed two critical measures: the percentage of facilities with above average professional nursing hours and the percentage of facilities with above average direct care staffing levels, ranking No. 44 and No. 45 respectively.
New York’s nursing home staffing hours remained woefully stagnant for the third consecutive reporting period, clocking just 2 hours and 20 minutes of direct care per resident daily.
4 in 5 New York nursing homes had middling to below direct care nursing staff levels.
Despite New York achieving its best ombudsman record to date, the advocacy group still verified 3 of 4 ombudsman complaints, indicating widespread concern from residents about their overall quality of care.
New York nursing home care ranks fourth in the Northeast Region.
