The Methodist Home for Nursing and Rehabilitation is proud to once again be recognized as a five-star rated skilled nursing facility by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in the Care Compare system for November and December 2025.
This five-star CMS rating reflects our commitment to high-quality care, patient safety, and clinical outcomes for both short-term rehabilitation patients and long-term residents.
CMS Care Compare is a trusted, nationally recognized tool that evaluates nursing homes based on standardized quality measures. Facilities are rated on overall quality, health inspections, staffing, and quality measures, offering a comprehensive snapshot of care performance. We earned five stars in Overall Quality, Health Inspections, and Quality Measures, along with a four-star rating in Staffing. This places our home well above average among nursing homes nationwide.
What a Five-Star CMS Rating Means
The CMS overall rating is designed to help families make an informed decision about skilled nursing facilities near you during what can often be a stressful and emotional time. Achieving a five-star rating means the Methodist Home consistently performs at a high level across multiple areas that directly impact patient care, from clinical outcomes and safety protocols to quality monitoring and regulatory compliance.
Health inspection scores reflect strong performance during state surveys, while quality measures assess outcomes such as recovery progress, hospital readmissions, and patient well-being. Together, these ratings demonstrate the Methodist Home’s focus on delivering reliable, evidence-based care that supports healing and independence.
A Legacy of Care, Built on Consistency
Administrator and CEO Maria Perez shared that this recognition represents a culture of care that has been built and sustained over generations.
“For more than 176 years, the Methodist Home has been committed to serving New Yorkers with compassion, integrity, and clinical excellence,” said Perez. “Our five-star CMS rating is a testament to the dedication of our entire team, who show up every day focused on helping patients recover, regain strength, and move forward with confidence.”
Founded in 1850, our home blends historic character with modern amenities and care. The fully renovated facility offers private rooms with private bathrooms for every patient and resident, providing comfort, dignity, and safety throughout each stay. We also have beautiful outdoor garden areas that are a popular gathering place for everyone to enjoy.
Supporting Recovery Under One Roof
In addition to skilled nursing care, the Methodist Home provides coordinated, in-house rehabilitation services, including physical, occupational, speech, and respiratory therapy. Short term rehabilitation patients benefit from personalized therapy plans developed by an interdisciplinary team that works closely together to support progress and successful discharge outcomes.
We also offer on-site dialysis through our partnership with the Rogosin Institute Dialysis Center, allowing patients to receive essential treatments without the added burden of travel. This integrated approach helps patients focus on recovery while receiving the medical support they need in one familiar setting.
A Trusted Choice for New Yorkers
Earning a five-star CMS rating is a meaningful recognition that reinforces the mission that has guided the care we provide for nearly two centuries. Through evolving healthcare standards, expanding services, and ongoing investment in people and facilities, we remain dedicated to helping patients heal and thrive.
