Providers to know in Roosevelt Island, New York
A few listings with the strongest documented signals. Placement never reflects payment.
Roosevelt Island, NY
Coler Specialty Hospital and Nursing Facility sits on Roosevelt Island in the East River and is part of NYC Health + Hospitals. It is large, with roughly 1,025 beds, and specializes in chronic care, physical rehabilitation, geriatrics, HIV and AIDS care, and Alzheimer's care. The HIV and AIDS specialism matters directly to this directory. A significant number of long-term survivors are now aging with the virus, often with complex comorbidities, and very few long-term care facilities have real depth in that combination. Coler is publicly listed as a 2025 Long-Term Care Equality Index Leader by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, reflecting documented LGBTQIA+ policies and staff training. That is a policy designation, not a clinical quality rating. As a public facility, Medicaid, Medicare and system financial assistance apply. Confirm services and admission directly, and check the current inspection record on Medicare's Care Compare.
