Sheepshead Nursing & Rehabilitation Center operates as a skilled nursing home, providing round-the-clock clinical oversight for residents who need ongoing medical supervision. Licensed nurses are on duty 24/7 to oversee medication administration, monitor vital signs and coordinate care plans prescribed by attending physicians. The in-house rehabilitation department delivers physical therapy aimed at restoring mobility and strength after surgery, illness or injury, and the center offers short-term respite stays that allow family caregivers temporary relief while ensuring their relatives receive professional monitoring and support.
Additional medical services include wound management, IV therapy, respiratory support and post-operative recovery programs. Case managers coordinate laboratory work, diagnostic imaging and specialist consultations when ordered, while social workers help residents and families navigate discharge planning and benefit resources. The facility maintains an on-call physician network for emergent needs, and transportation is arranged for any off-site medical appointments that cannot be handled in-house.
Resident rooms are available in private and semi-private layouts, and some are designated as pet friendly. Wi-Fi, basic cable television and access to secured outdoor areas are standard in many units, though not every room has every feature. Ground-level parking is offered for visitors, and well-maintained gardens give residents a chance to spend time outside when weather permits.
The dietary department prepares three meals daily and keeps healthy snacks accessible between meal times. Continental breakfast and dinner are served Monday through Friday, with brunch on Saturdays and continental breakfast on Sundays. Residents requiring kosher meals can request menus that meet those guidelines, and staff dietitians monitor nutritional intake to align with individual care plans or physician-ordered restrictions.
To support an engaging daily routine, the center schedules structured clubs, arts and crafts workshops, and group sessions in the activity center. A library and computer lounge provide quiet space for reading or internet access, and organized social outings keep residents connected with the wider Brooklyn community.
