Long Island State Veterans Home

What Long Island State Veterans Home does

Long Island State Veterans Home (LISVH) is a 350-bed, not-for-profit skilled nursing facility located on 25 wooded acres within the Stony Brook University campus in Suffolk County, New York, that has provided 24-hour nursing and sub-acute care to honorably discharged U.S. Armed Forces veterans since opening on October 25, 1991. Operated as a public-private partnership between New York State and Stony Brook Medicine, the facility also admits spouses/widows of qualifying veterans and Gold Star Parents, and serves an addressable Long Island veteran population of approximately 85,000. The clinical service portfolio comprises three core lines — skilled nursing (standard rate $500/day, effective $380/day after Federal Per Diem), a 40-slot Adult Day Health Care program ($260/day, $165 after Per Diem), and short-term rehabilitation (PT/OT/Speech) — supplemented by dedicated 55-bed specialty units for Alzheimer's/dementia (Reflections Unit) and respiratory care, plus hospice and palliative care delivered in partnership with Good Shepherd Hospice. The facility functions as a teaching nursing home in continuous rotation with Stony Brook Medicine academic physicians (double-board-certified in internal medicine and geriatrics), in-house pharmacy, and a five-week CNA training program plus an RN-to-BS Nursing Education Grant in conjunction with Stony Brook University School of Nursing.

The business model is a hybrid of government reimbursement and private/self-pay: standard daily rates are reduced by the VA Federal Per Diem allowance, while veterans with 70%+ service-connected disability receive no-cost care fully paid by the VA. The facility also accepts Medicare, Medicaid, Long Term Care Insurance, and Private Pay, and supplements operating revenue through the Stony Brook Foundation (a 501(c)(3)) via annual fundraising events such as the Golf Classic (raising over $185K in 2024) and planned-giving programs. GTM relies on direct admissions through an on-site office, VA system referrals, partnerships with eight Veterans Service Organizations, and community outreach via an active Veterans Advisory Board, with marketing concentrated in a Long Island regional catchment spanning Central/Western Suffolk County and Eastern Nassau County. Quality positioning is reinforced by a CMS 5-Star Rating, U.S. News Best Nursing Homes 2026 recognition, Great Place to Work Certification, and Pinnacle Customer Experience Award, with no external private equity or venture capital investment in the operating entity.

Regional players

• Gurwin Jewish Nursing & Rehabilitation Center: Long Island-based nonprofit skilled nursing facility offering short-term rehabilitation, long-term care, memory care, and adult day programs. Directly comparable in service mix and regional labor market to LISVH, although it is not veterans-focused.
• Parker Jewish Institute for Health Care and Rehabilitation: Large nonprofit skilled nursing and rehabilitation provider on Long Island/Queens, offering sub-acute rehab, long-term care, memory care, and adult day health care. Competes with LISVH in the same Nassau/Suffolk labor and referral market but without the VA Federal Per Diem entitlement.

Direct peers

• New York State Veterans Home at Oxford: The third New York State Veterans Home in the same publicly-operated network, located in Chenango County. Provides skilled nursing care to veterans under the same VA Federal Per Diem and state licensing framework, making it a structural peer to LISVH.
• RiverSpring Health (Hebrew Home at Riverdale): New York-based teaching nursing home affiliated with a major academic health system, operating a comparable mix of long-term skilled nursing, short-term rehabilitation, memory care, and adult day services. Comparable in operating model as a nonprofit SNF integrated with an academic medical center.
• New York State Veterans Home at Batavia: One of the other two New York State Veterans Homes in the same publicly-operated veterans' SNF system. Operates as a 126-bed skilled nursing facility for veterans with the same VA Federal Per Diem entitlement model and New York State oversight as LISVH, making it the closest direct comparator.

Broad incumbents

• The New Jewish Home: Large multi-site nonprofit skilled nursing and rehabilitation operator in the New York metro area, providing skilled nursing, short-term rehab, memory care, and adult day services. Comparable in scale, service mix, and academic-affiliation profile to LISVH.
• VA Community Living Centers: Federally-operated skilled nursing facilities within the VA healthcare system, providing nursing home-level care to veterans nationally. Compete with State Veterans Homes for the same veteran population and represent the most direct federal alternative to LISVH's VA-funded resident base.

Others

• Good Shepherd Hospice: Strategic hospice partner of LISVH providing end-of-life care to LISVH residents. Included as a partner/ecosystem player rather than a competitor, but representative of the post-acute and palliative care ecosystem LISVH operates within.
