Our read on Chapin Home For The Aging

Chapin Home For The Aging runs a tight ship on inspections, a clean five-star record with just ten deficiencies on file, none of them serious enough to cause harm and none tied to abuse. The last state visit was in September 2024, so the paperwork is current. Where it slips is daily care coverage: 3.19 nurse hours per resident, roughly 17% under the national average, and weekends run about 9% thinner than weekdays. For a 220-bed nonprofit in Queens, the pattern is familiar, solid oversight, thinner hands-on time, especially Saturdays and Sundays.

Written from the CMS figures for this home shown further down this page. Nothing here is paid for or supplied by the home.
