What the federal data shows in Nassau County
Every Medicare- and Medicaid-certified nursing home is inspected and rated by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Nassau County has 36 certified homes with 7,573 beds. Twelve hold a five-star overall rating; three hold one star.
Ten were fined by CMS in roughly the last three years, for a combined $529,248. The largest totals were at A. Holly Patterson Extended Care Facility ($211,571) and Woodbury Heights Nursing and Rehabilitation Center ($117,712).
Three 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: A. Holly Patterson Extended Care Facility (Uniondale), Beach Terrace Care Center (Long Beach) and Hempstead Park Nursing Home (Hempstead).
Pressure injuries are one of the clearest measures of basic care. Across the 35 homes in Nassau County with a reported rate, the average share of long-stay residents with a pressure ulcer is 7.4 percent, above the New York State average of 6.5 percent and above the national average of 4.5 percent. Twenty 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 Nassau County cases are heard
A nursing home negligence or Public Health Law § 2801-d action for a Nassau County resident is ordinarily venued in Supreme Court, Nassau County, 100 Supreme Court Drive, Mineola. Appeals go to the Appellate Division, Second Department.
When a resident has died, the family must first have a personal representative appointed, usually through Nassau County Surrogate’s Court, 262 Old Country Road, Mineola. 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 main office is in Huntington, just over the Nassau line, and we meet Nassau families at home, at the bedside or at our 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).

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 Nassau County nursing home
- In an emergency, call 911. The Nassau County Police Department, or a village police department, 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 Nassau County?
Yes. We represent residents and families throughout Nassau County, 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.
