Options For County Nursing Homes in New York State

A Joint Project of the Civil Service Employees Association, County Nursing Facilities of New York, Inc. and the Department of City and Regional Planning, Cornell University

This web page is the product of several months of collaborative research between County Nursing Facilities of New York, Inc. (CNFNY), the Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA), and the Department of City and Regional Planning at Cornell University. Our goal in carrying out this research was to develop a better understanding of the current status of New York’s county homes. Together we designed and administered three surveys for nursing home administrators and labor leaders. Research questions addressed include the financial health of county homes, the status of labor-management relations in these facilities, and the degree of interest in redesigning established service delivery models. In addition to the survey research, this page contains additional background information on state and national trends in the long-term care industry.
