About Us
Located at 72nd Street and York Avenue in Manhattan,
Mary Manning Walsh Home is the residence of choice for East Side
New Yorkers requiring long-term care or short-term rehabilitation.
The original Walsh Home opened in 1952 on the site of the former
New York Orthopedic Hospital, and was moved to its current site
in 1969. That 362-bed facility was completely refurbished between
1995 and 1998 and maintains a spirit of grace and elegance rarely
found in traditional not-for-profit nursing facilities.
The Walsh Home is noted for its superiority in meeting
the physical, spiritual and emotional needs of its residents. This
reputation is due in large part to the Home being served by the
Carmelite Sisters for the Aged and Infirm. The Sisters for many
years have been the pacesetters of eldercare philosophy, and their
development of the “resident-centered care” model has
become the standard for excellence. Full rehabilitative services
are available, including physical, occupational and speech therapy
for both long-term and short-term residents.
With the help of an active Family Circle and a strong
volunteer program, the Walsh Home is able to offer its residents
highly satisfying activities to fill their days. While the Concourse
Level Coffee Shop is a favorite meeting place for family and friends,
many residents are most fond of the Walsh Home’s Emerald Lounge,
where many gather for cocktails and companionship each evening.
