Does anyone work or live near a big Nursing Home, to describe how it impacts the immediate neighborhood - positively and negatively?
On my residential block, a huge vacant hospital will be converted into a skilled medical nursing home. Instead of an empty 6-story hulk occupying 25% of a city block, there will next be 200 residents, with very limited or no mobility. Serving them, going in and out daily, will be office/medical/custodial staff, plus family visitors.
I anticipate a few negatives, such as noise (ambulance sirens), parking, traffic. Not sure how much siren noise; we're told "less than a regular hospital." Also they're probably skimping with 30 staff parking spots by saying "most employees will subway to work" which I don't entirely buy. I assume it'll become much harder to find street parking.
But I'm wondering if there's also a positive impact. I'd love to see a small coffeeshop, diner, florist/gift shop etc. locating in this mostly residential working-class neighborhood. The building itself will offer some food-for-purchase for staff, visitors, and any "neighbors," but likely limited in scope. I'm hoping to see a glimmer of public economic activity generated onto nearby streets.
I suggest you do some volunteer work when the nursing home opens up and help out the elderly in need. Life's not all about you and how them being their affects your life. It gives 200 people an place to live and be cared for!
Ambulances would be far worse being near Mt. Sinai, NYU Langone, Lenox Hill, or Metropolitan Hospital, some of the primest real estate in New York (well, except for Metropolitan.)

Just think a bout it you're not going to stay young for ever, think about being independent for years,
Then your health is bad you have to move in to a nursing home, you loose every.thing if you don't have,
Siblings to look out for you you're doomed nursing home life can be hell l worked in the nursing field.
35%of nursing home employees care and value their work the other % are just bodies getting paid.
Having a nursing home build next to where you live will not be a problem.and is not all peaches and cream,
It will not be like a mall public visits will be off limits.if you have love ones as clients then you're allowed to visit,
And believe me you will not want to hang a around for long time because it's depressing.😮

I volunteer at a nursing home and its sad to see just how many nurses/workers their just don't care about their residents. Sure they may be old and have health issues but they are still people.

Is a shame because the same nurses/workers if they are lucky to live to be old are going to have it worst, if they get admitted
To a nursing home this new generation are not getting the proper training too many lazy training,is going to and already
Effecting the care of the elderly.I hope and pray to god not to let me live in a nursing home I would rather die first. I seen
It all I dedicated 30 years of my life I worked in hospitals,retirement homes, nursing homes,and hospice.the sadiest is working
At a hospice's because the clients there are during and are going to die because they are very I'll and need 100% total care.
Is very sad you also meet, the families.

I agree 100 % take time to learn the aging process is sad but not all bad, young people need to understand.
The elderly is the circle of life 😄
I live around the block from a nursing home and the only complaint I have is about parking. In all honesty, I'd have a problem with parking even if the home wasn't there - it's NYC. A lot of their employees do use the subway to commute there and back.
I can't recall a time I've heard ambulances or anything. Occasionally they'll be sitting outside the building in their wheelchairs but that's only been a handful of times from what I can remember.
We're really not bothered by it at all. And it's about the same size as the one you described.
I agree with your post 100%
