Downtown Brooklyn Nursing & Rehabilitation Center operates as a skilled nursing facility, providing round-the-clock licensed nursing care for residents who need ongoing medical attention. Registered nurses manage medication administration, wound care, IV therapies, post-surgical monitoring, and complex care needs such as tracheostomy and respiratory management. The center’s in-house medical director coordinates with attending physicians, nurse practitioners, and specialists to adjust treatment plans quickly, and on-site laboratory and diagnostic services allow for timely testing without requiring residents to leave the building.

Beyond direct medical services, the facility offers physical, occupational, and speech therapy seven days a week in a dedicated rehabilitation gym. Social workers assist with discharge planning and care coordination, while a restorative nursing team helps maintain functional gains after formal therapy ends. The center also provides secure memory-support programming, hospice care for those with terminal illnesses, and short-term respite stays for family caregivers who need temporary relief. An activities staff organizes therapeutic recreation and social engagement tailored to each resident’s cognitive and physical capabilities.

Resident accommodations include a mix of private and shared rooms, each equipped with an adjustable hospital bed, a nurse-call system, and basic furnishings. Select rooms feature in-suite accessibility upgrades such as roll-in showers, personal climate controls, and wall-mounted TVs; others rely on centrally located bathing areas and common lounges for television and socializing. Cable service, wireless internet, daily housekeeping, and personal laundry are available, but not every room comes with every amenity, so confirming specific features during a tour is recommended.

Meals are prepared on site under the supervision of a registered dietitian who designs menus to meet clinical and cultural needs, including heart-healthy, diabetic, renal, and pureed diets. Residents dine in a communal dining room when medically appropriate, with room-service delivery for those who require it. Staff monitor nutritional intake and provide adaptive utensils as needed, and between-meal snacks and hydration stations are accessible throughout the day. Menu options rotate regularly, but selections and portion sizes can vary, so residents and families are encouraged to discuss preferences and restrictions with the dietary team in advance.
