Senior living & care in Roosevelt Island, New York

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 specialty 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.
