What the federal data shows in the Bronx
Every Medicare- and Medicaid-certified nursing home is inspected and rated by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The Bronx has 44 certified homes with 11,836 beds. Seven hold a five-star overall rating; four hold one star.
Eleven were fined by CMS in roughly the last three years, for a combined $741,590. The largest totals were at Grand Manor Nursing & Rehabilitation Center ($470,477) and Independence Care Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation ($66,859).
Five homes carry the CMS abuse icon, which marks a home cited for abuse that harmed a resident in the past year, or for abuse that could have caused harm in each of the last two years: Bronx Center for Rehabilitation & Health Care (Bronx), Grand Manor Nursing & Rehabilitation Center (Bronx), New Riverdale Rehab and Nursing (Bronx), St. Patrick's Home (Bronx) and Triboro Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing (Bronx). Grand Manor Nursing & Rehabilitation Center is in the CMS Special Focus Facility program, which CMS reserves for homes with a persistent record of serious problems.
Pressure injuries are one of the clearest measures of basic care. Across the 44 homes in the Bronx with a reported rate, the average share of long-stay residents with a pressure ulcer is 6.0 percent, below the New York State average of 6.5 percent and above the national average of 4.5 percent. Fifteen of them are above the state average.

Source: Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Care Compare provider data, October 2026 release. Star ratings run 1 (much below average) to 5 (much above average). Pressure-injury rate is the CMS long-stay measure: the share of long-stay residents with a pressure ulcer. Fines are federal civil money penalties over roughly the last three years. Ratings change monthly; a rating or citation does not by itself mean that any resident has a legal claim. State averages for comparison: New York 6.5%, national 4.5%.
Where Bronx cases are heard
A nursing home negligence or Public Health Law § 2801-d action for a Bronx resident is ordinarily venued in Supreme Court, Bronx County, 851 Grand Concourse, Bronx. Appeals go to the Appellate Division, First Department.
When a resident has died, the family must first have a personal representative appointed, usually through Bronx County Surrogate’s Court, 851 Grand Concourse, Bronx. Only the appointed administrator or executor can bring the wrongful death and survival claims. We handle the limited letters of administration as part of the case.
Our New York City office is at 14 Penn Plaza in Manhattan. We meet Bronx families at home, at the bedside or at the office.

Deadlines that apply
- Public Health Law § 2801-d and negligence claims: generally three years from the injury (CPLR 214).
- Claims framed as medical malpractice: generally two years and six months (CPLR 214-a).
- Wrongful death: two years from the date of death (EPTL 5-4.1).
- A public facility may require a notice of claim within 90 days (General Municipal Law § 50-e).
These periods can be shortened or extended by the facts. Call early; the records a home keeps, such as staffing sheets and video, are easier to preserve before they are lost.
How to report a problem in a Bronx nursing home
- In an emergency, call 911. The NYPD responds to crimes inside nursing homes.
- File a complaint with the New York State Department of Health, Centralized Complaint Intake: 1-888-201-4563, or online at health.ny.gov.
- Contact the New York State Long Term Care Ombudsman Program (ltcombudsman.ny.gov).
- Ask the home in writing for the incident report, the care plan and the medical record. You are entitled to the record under Public Health Law § 18.

Questions families ask
Do you handle nursing home cases throughout the Bronx?
Yes. We represent residents and families throughout the Bronx, and much of the early work is done by phone, video and records. We will come to you or to the resident when that helps.
Is a one-star nursing home automatically liable?
No. A rating is a summary of inspections, staffing and quality measures. A claim depends on what happened to your family member and whether the home’s care fell below the standard and caused harm. The rating and inspection reports can support that case.
The nursing home says the bedsore was unavoidable. Is that the end of it?
Not necessarily. Federal rules (42 C.F.R. § 483.25(b)) require a home to prevent pressure ulcers unless the resident’s condition made them unavoidable, and to treat them when they occur. Whether a wound was truly unavoidable is a question the records and an expert usually answer.
What does it cost?
Nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee, which means no fee unless we recover.
