HILLSIDE MANOR REHAB & EXTENDED CARE CENTER
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Hillside Manor Rehab & Extended Care Center has received a Trust Grade of B, indicating it is a good choice for families, standing solidly in the middle tier of nursing homes. It ranks #182 out of 594 facilities in New York, placing it in the top half, and #19 out of 57 in Queens County, meaning only 18 local options are better. The facility is improving, with the number of issues found decreasing from five in 2023 to four in 2025. Staffing is a strength, with a 4 out of 5-star rating and a low turnover rate of 24%, which is well below the state average. However, the facility has incurred fines totaling $34,947, higher than 77% of New York facilities, indicating potential compliance issues. While the nursing home has good RN coverage, more than 75% of state facilities, some concerns have been raised. For instance, staff were observed not adhering to food safety regulations, such as not wearing hair restraints properly in the kitchen, posing a risk for foodborne illness. Additionally, two residents did not have comprehensive care plans developed to address their specific medical needs, which is a significant oversight. Lastly, maintenance issues were noted, including a torn privacy curtain and peeling wallpaper, which detracts from the overall environment.
