Morningside Nursing And Rehabilitation Center in the Bronx operates as a skilled nursing facility, providing round-the-clock clinical oversight for residents who require continuous medical supervision. Licensed nurses are on duty at all times to manage medications, monitor vital signs, and address changes in health status promptly. The center also maintains an in-house physical therapy team that works with residents who need mobility improvement, post-surgical strengthening, or fall-prevention exercises, ensuring therapy goals are coordinated with each resident’s physician.
Beyond core nursing and physical therapy, the care team develops individualized care plans that outline daily assistance with bathing, dressing, and other activities of daily living. Care conferences are held regularly to keep families informed, and on-site physicians make scheduled visits to help adjust treatment plans as needed. Residents benefit from easy access to laboratory work and diagnostic services arranged through the facility, reducing the need for outside appointments.
Resident rooms are offered in both private and semi-private layouts, each designed with wheelchair-accessible bathrooms, emergency call systems, and basic furnishings such as adjustable beds and storage space. Some rooms include added features like personal climate controls or in-room televisions, but not all accommodations have every option, so prospective residents should verify specific room details during a tour.
Meals are prepared in the facility’s kitchen and served three times daily in a common dining room. A registered dietitian reviews menus to support therapeutic diets, including low-sodium, diabetic, and mechanically altered options when prescribed. Residents who are unable to leave their rooms receive tray service, and snacks are available between meals to help meet caloric and nutritional goals.
Amenities at Morningside include a library and computer lounge where residents can read, use email, or participate in video calls with family members. Staff are on hand to assist those who need help operating the computers or accessing online resources, providing an additional layer of support for staying connected and mentally engaged.
