Mosholu Parkway Nursing & Rehab Center sits at 3356 Perry Ave in the Bronx and has been helping folks since 1958, calling itself New York City's first nursing home, and around here, people often see it as a place with 122 certified beds where nurses, therapists, and specialists work together in a small and close-knit setting so residents get more attention and don't get lost in the shuffle, which can mean a lot when someone's getting older or recovering, and the staff speak English. The center offers skilled nursing care, subacute and post-acute rehabilitation, physical, occupational, and speech therapy, nursing home care, therapeutic recreation, social support, and food and nutrition services, and people who stay long-term or come in for a short time after a hospital stay often find physical therapy programs where therapists take time to explain exercises, which some families say helps residents feel more at ease.
Mosholu Parkway Nursing & Rehab Center has earned a 5-star overall rating from CMS, which highlights some strengths, including a 4-star rating for long-stay resident quality of care and a 5-star rating for short-stay resident care, so there's a good chance most residents receive strong support, though it's key to note the center got only 2 stars for staffing, meaning staff levels run lower than average, and a 1-star health inspection rating, which puts it much below average for health inspection compliance, but the facility hasn't been given any federal penalties in the past few years.
The facility had a fire safety inspection on March 16, 2018, with just two citations about egress and smoke, fewer than both the state and national averages, and during recent years, pneumonia and flu vaccine rates for long-stay residents were about the same or a little better than national levels, with pneumonia vaccine rates at 93.5% and flu shots at 87.2%, so the residents generally stay protected, but for short-stay residents, only 32.4% received a pneumonia shot and 58.1% the flu shot. For quality measures, 15.7% of long-stay residents had worsening mobility, which beats the average, and only 2.5% had falls with major injury, but 10.2% of those at high risk developed pressure ulcers, which is higher compared to other places. Among short-stay residents, 82.3% improved in mobility, no new or worsened pressure ulcers were reported, and the readmission rate sits at 23.7%, just above the national average.
The place feels committed to care and keeping fears at bay, and it brings in outside partners and belongs to the New York State Health Facilities Association, and with a resident council, people living here can voice their concerns or talk directly to staff, which helps keep things running smoothly. People who need therapy, healing, or a long-term stay find the facility offers services aimed at comfort and improvement, with focus on clear communication and an environment that fosters recovery and well-being.
