What happened
ArchCare, which operates several nursing homes, has reduced its capacity across its eight facilities to 269 fewer usable beds than they had 18 months ago, marking a nearly 12% decline. This includes a facility in Staten Island that has shut down a full floor, and its Ferncliff Nursing Home in Dutchess County has contracted from 309 to 196 available beds. The company also noted that the San Vicente de Paúl Nursing Home in the South Bronx has not admitted a patient since December 2024.

Why it matters
These closures contribute to a broader trend where 24 nursing homes have closed across New York since 2020, resulting in a loss of over 3,000 licensed beds. Researchers warn that this decline is straining the long-term care infrastructure as the aging population requires greater services.
