These are the 10 New York City nursing homes with the strongest federal record, ranked on Medicare’s own data across all 167 certified nursing homes in the five boroughs. Every one of them cares for residents with Alzheimer’s and other dementias. We rank by overall star rating, then health inspection rating, then staffing rating, then fines, then nursing hours per resident.
Excluded on purpose: any home Medicare flags with the abuse icon, any Special Focus Facility (the federal list of persistently poor performers), and any home with no overall rating.

Sources and method
Nursing home ratings, staffing, inspection and fine figures are from the CMS Care Compare Provider Information dataset (CMS processing date 2026-10-01). Assisted living and memory care licences are from the New York State Department of Health Adult Care Facility Directory. Ratings change monthly, so check each facility’s current Care Compare page before you decide. No facility paid to appear here, and the reviews are written from inspection data. They are not resident testimonials.
