Is Peninsula Nursing and Rehabilitation Center a good nursing home? Reviews, ratings and inspection record

CMS rates it 1 out of 5 stars overall, below the New York average of 3.1. Inspectors issued 16 citations in the last three years. CMS imposed 1 penalty, including $81,387 in fines, in that time.

Medicare Part A can cover a short skilled-nursing or rehab stay here after a qualifying hospital stay of at least three inpatient days (observation days don't count), for up to 100 days per benefit period.
