Maria Regina Residence Inc. in Brentwood, NY operates as a skilled nursing facility that delivers 24-hour medical oversight. Licensed nurses manage medication administration, wound care, intravenous therapy, tracheostomy care, and complex pain control, while on-site physicians and nurse practitioners conduct regular rounds and adjust treatment plans as needed. The rehabilitation department offers physical, occupational, and speech therapy seven days a week, working with residents who are recovering from surgery, illness, or injury. Respiratory therapy, dialysis coordination, and hospice support are also available, giving families the option to keep loved ones in one setting even as medical needs change.
Beyond direct clinical services, the facility provides assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, and incontinence management, paired with routine vital-sign monitoring and fall-prevention protocols. Social workers help coordinate discharge planning and connect residents with community resources, while restorative aides reinforce therapy exercises to maintain mobility gains. A secured memory-care unit supports residents with dementia through structured programming and behavioral interventions. The residence schedules physician-led care conferences, keeps electronic health records for prompt information sharing, and maintains pharmacy partnerships for timely medication delivery.
Resident accommodations include a mix of private and semi-private rooms equipped with adjustable hospital beds, individual climate controls, and emergency call systems; some rooms add in-room showers, personal closets, and cable or Wi-Fi access. Housekeeping handles daily tidying, while laundry service manages linens and personal clothing. Common areas such as lounges, activity rooms, and accessible outdoor patios give residents space to socialize or meet with visitors. Not all accommodations have all the listed features, so families should review specific room layouts when touring.
The dietary department prepares three balanced meals each day in consultation with a registered dietitian, offering regular, mechanical-soft, pureed, low-sodium, diabetic, and other physician-ordered diets. Meals are generally served in a communal dining room to encourage social interaction, but tray service is available for residents who need or prefer in-room dining. Staff are trained to monitor intake and provide feeding assistance when necessary, and snacks are stocked throughout the day. Special menus for holidays and family events add variety, while hydration stations ensure access to water and juices between meals.
