Individuals and families seeking placement at this facility should contact the admissions department directly to confirm current bed availability, accepted insurance plans, and any applicable private pay arrangements. Coverage eligibility and benefit limitations vary by payer and individual circumstance, and prospective residents or their representatives are advised to verify coverage details with both the facility and their respective insurance providers. When considered alongside national benchmarks, Verrazano Nursing and Post-Acute Center presents a mixed profile. Its health inspection rating of 3 stars aligns with the national average, while its overall rating of 2 stars and quality measure rating of 2 stars fall below that benchmark. The staffing rating of 1 star represents a significant gap relative to the national norm, which may be a relevant consideration for those evaluating care needs that are staffing-intensive.

Families and healthcare professionals are encouraged to review full CMS inspection reports, visit the facility in person, and consult with appropriate medical and social work professionals when making placement decisions.
