Expert Psychiatry Services for Nursing Homes and Residential Facilities
CordialHealth PC’s Nursing Home and Residential Care Facilities Division was established two years ago with a dedicated focus on providing high-quality psychiatry and behavioral health services in residential settings. Led by Dr. M. Mehdi Kazmi—an experienced psychiatrist and neurologist with over 25 years of clinical and teaching experience—our team comprises skilled MDs and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners committed to delivering compassionate mental health care.
As the largest provider of psychiatric services for nursing homes in New York City and the Greater New York area, we are rapidly expanding into New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and beyond. Our mission is to enhance the well-being of residents through expert psychiatric care tailored to their unique needs.
Our Team
Under the leadership of Dr. M. Mehdi Kazmi, Chief Medical Officer, our team consists of highly trained Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners (PMHNPs) who provide on-site services with close supervision from MDs. We operate as a cohesive unit, ensuring 24/7 availability for psychiatric care, including emergency evaluations and crisis interventions.
