Nassau County Nursing Homes Directory: Complete List of Facilities, Medicare Ratings, and Legal Resources for Long Island Families

Nassau County nursing homes serve thousands of residents across Great Neck, Long Beach, Hempstead, Freeport, Glen Cove, Massapequa, Rockville Centre, and surrounding communities. Families researching placement options—or investigating concerns about current care—need centralized, reliable information about facility quality, inspection results, and complaint pathways. This comprehensive directory provides addresses, phone numbers, and direct links to Medicare star ratings and New York State enforcement records for all licensed Nassau County nursing homes.

Leitner Warywoda PLLC is currently investigating cases of nursing home neglect and abuse at facilities throughout Nassau County. If a resident has suffered serious injury, unexplained decline, or preventable harm at any facility listed below, our firm offers free, confidential consultations to families.

Why Families Need This Nassau County Nursing Home Resource

Nassau County’s long-term care system includes 34+ licensed nursing homes, spanning North Shore waterfront communities, central county suburbs, and South Shore barrier island neighborhoods. Yet critical quality and safety information remains scattered across multiple government websites, making it difficult for families to evaluate facilities or respond quickly when harm occurs.

This directory consolidates:

• Complete facility list with addresses and contact information

• Medicare Care Compare links for star ratings and staffing data

• NYS Department of Health inspection profiles with complaint histories

• Nassau County Ombudsman contact information

• Step-by-step complaint filing instructions

• Legal resources for families considering accountability claims

How to Research Nassau County Nursing Homes (Step by Step)

1. Check Medicare star ratings (Care Compare)

The Medicare Care Compare tool rates nursing homes on a 1–5 star scale and breaks out separate scores for:

• Health inspections

• Staffing

• Quality measures

You can access it here: Medicare Care Compare – Nursing Homes.[5]

Look particularly at:

• Health inspection history (deficiencies and complaint surveys)

• RN and total nursing hours per resident per day

• Any civil money penalties or payment denials

2. Review New York State inspection and enforcement data

New York’s NYS Health Profiles gives facility-by-facility detail on:

• Complaint findings and standard survey results

• Enforcement actions and fines

• Ownership and staffing information[1][6]

You can:

• Search statewide at Directory of Nursing Homes.[11]

• Filter by Nassau County via the region/county selector.[10]

• Search fines and major sanctions at Nursing Home Enforcement Actions.[6]

Families often focus on repeated citations for the same problems (falls, pressure injuries, infection control) as a sign of systemic issues, not one-off mistakes.[2]

How to File a Complaint About a Nassau County Nursing Home

If you suspect neglect, abuse, unsafe conditions, or a resident-rights violation at a Nassau County nursing home, you can use both the state complaint system and the Ombudsman program.

Step 1: NYS Department of Health complaint program

• Hotline: 1-888-201-4563 (Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM – 4:45 PM)[12][13]

• Online form: NYS DOH Nursing Home Complaint Form[12]

Key points:

• You can file anonymously.[12]

• If you share your name, DOH keeps it confidential unless disclosure is legally required.[12]

• Complaints may trigger unannounced inspections, interviews, and record review, and findings appear in the public inspection history.[14][2]

Step 2: Nassau County Long Term Care Ombudsman

The Ombudsman is an independent advocate who works for residents, not facilities. Services are free and confidential.[15][7]

• Agency: Family and Children’s Association

• Address: 100 East Old Country Rd, Mineola, NY 11501[7]

• Phone: 516-466-9718[7]

The Ombudsman can:

• Help resolve day‑to‑day issues with the nursing home

• Explain resident rights

• Escalate serious concerns to DOH when needed[16][15]

When to Consider Legal Action

Some problems can be resolved through staff, the Ombudsman, or DOH. But when neglect or abuse causes serious harm, families may have a civil claim under New York Public Health Law § 2801‑d and related statutes.[8]

Examples that often justify a deeper legal investigation include:

• Pressure injuries (bedsores) that reach Stage 3 or 4

• Falls causing fractures, brain bleeds, or other catastrophic injury

• Sepsis or severe infections tied to poor wound care or hygiene

• Dehydration, malnutrition, or extreme weight loss

• Medication errors and failures to respond to obvious deterioration

• Assault, sexual abuse, or unexplained injuries[9][2]

Leitner Warywoda PLLC is actively investigating nursing home neglect and abuse cases throughout Nassau County, including many of the facilities listed in this directory. Our team focuses on serious injury and wrongful death cases and works to hold facilities accountable for chronic understaffing, unsafe conditions, and systemic neglect.[3][9]

If you believe a loved one was harmed in a Nassau County nursing home:

• Document visible injuries with photos and dates

• Write down what staff told you and when

• Request copies of relevant medical records

• File a DOH complaint if you suspect safety violations

• Consider getting a legal opinion on whether the facts support a claim
