In the fourth quarter of 2023, Cold Spring Hills Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation stood out as the largest nursing home in Nassau County, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

Data shows that the nursing center had a total of 606 beds available, 400 more than the average in Nassau County as of the fourth quarter of 2023. They aided an average of 488 residents during that period.

Cold Spring Hills Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation had an overall rating of 1 from the CMS, which lags behind the average of 2.9 recorded for nursing homes in New York.

During the quarter, A Holly Patterson Extended Care Facility stood out as the second largest nursing home in Nassau County, with 589 beds available. The Five Towns Premier Rehabilitation and Nursing Center came in third place, with 336 beds available.

As of the fourth quarter of 2023, Cold Spring Hills Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation has already spent a total of $23,977 in three fines and suffered three penalties.

In total, there were 33 for-profit nursing homes in Nassau County, New York.

According to US Census data, in 2020, nearly 1 in 6 Americans were aged 65 years or older. Since 1920, the older population skyrocketed from 4.9 million to 55.8 million, reflecting a growth rate of roughly 1,000%, five times higher than the average growth for the overall U.S. population.

A 2021 study suggests that nearly half of this age group, roughly 28 million individuals, may require long-term services and support. Additionally, the study projects that over a third of them may eventually need nursing home care.

“Living a long life is something that many of us want and could get,” said Jesse Slome, executive director of the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance, an insurance education group. “But when we live a long life, the chances of us needing long-term care increase exponentially. But when you need that type of care, there are limited options.”
