Shully Braunstein's Mission for Nursing Home Administration in New York State

As Sympaticare’s Principal, Shully Braunstein’s mission is to provide our elders with the absolute highest standard of care. He first realized this at a young age, when at just 10 years old, his aging grandmother moved in with his family and needed caretaking. It was during this time that Shully discovered his patience, passion, and long-term desire to care for the elderly. Since then, Shully has come to love and appreciate the wisdom, stories, and life experiences that elders have to share. 

In 2011, he became a New York State licensed administrator. Shully currently operates a total of six nursing facilities. During his time working with these facilities, each has seen significant increases in care ratings and quality measures. The need for senior care has only increased in 2021 and is expected to grow exponentially as the 65+ age demographic continues to increase. 

They took care of us – now it’s our turn to take care of them. 


How Sympaticare Makes a Difference

At Sympaticare, we are bridging the gap and making our difference in providing the best care possible to our elders – and it shows. 

As New York’s premier elder care consultancy and management company, we also personally own, operate, and/or consult for six successful nursing home facilities across the state.

Our senior nursing facilities are located across New York State in Brooklyn, Bronx, Long Island, Ithaca, Horseheads, and Rochester.

With over a decade of experience leading nursing home facilities, Shully has the right idea and is creating nursing homes that are more than just eldercare - it’s a place to call home in later years for our aging population – and the demand has never been higher. 


Why does New York need more nursing homes?  

The vast increase of aging adults in the United States today, coupled with the lack of nursing homes available, is leading to a serious need for more nursing homes, not only in New York, but across the U.S. 

By the 1960s over 9,000 nursing homes had been constructed with Federal dollars. By 1965, an increased budget for the elderly opened doors to non-profit organizations, leading to 300,000 new nursing home residents across the U.S. Sadly, regulations were not up to par and often were non-existent in these establishments, leading to mistreatment, neglect, and poor living conditions. 

Fast forward to 2021 and these mid-60's era, federally-constructed nursing homes have aged, medical reimbursement rates have dropped and administrators can’t maintain these buildings. 

The combination of the lack of funding and the lack of residents has led many nursing homes to close across the country. For Sympaticare this opens doors to a unique opportunity to provide not only the highest quality care, but also to give this to our residents in state-of-the-art facilities, staffed by some of the most highly skilled healthcare professionals in the Northeast.

We owe it to our growing senior population. We owe it to our future selves. We owe it to humanity - because we care for those who cared for us.
