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.
