Surge Rehabilitation and Nursing LLC in Middle Island, NY operates as a skilled nursing facility, delivering around-the-clock licensed nursing oversight for residents who need clinical attention that cannot be managed at home. Registered nurses and certified nursing assistants monitor vital signs, manage medications, and carry out physician-ordered treatments such as IV therapy, wound care, and pain management. The facility also offers daily physical, occupational, and speech therapy for individuals recovering from surgery, illness, or injury, with therapy intensity adjusted to the physician’s care plan. For residents with chronic or complex conditions, care teams coordinate cardiac, respiratory, and diabetes management, helping reduce hospital readmissions.
Beyond direct medical services, the center provides assistance with personal care, including bathing, grooming, and mobility support, along with continence care and fall-prevention programs. Social workers and discharge planners guide families through insurance questions and coordinate transitional or hospice services when needed. Activities staff schedule therapeutic recreation programs that align with residents’ cognitive and physical abilities, while memory-support programming is available for those coping with dementia. Transportation arrangements for outside medical appointments and on-site diagnostic testing help minimize the need for disruptive hospital trips.
Resident accommodations include a mix of private and semi-private rooms, each arranged with basic furnishings, adjustable hospital-style beds, and in-room storage. Many rooms have wheelchair-accessible bathrooms, individual climate controls, cable television, and Wi-Fi access, although not every room offers every feature. Emergency call systems are installed in most living areas for rapid staff response, and housekeeping and laundry services are provided on a regular schedule. Families can bring personal belongings to make spaces more familiar, pending safety review by the facility.
Meals are prepared under the supervision of a registered dietitian, with menus designed to meet nutritional guidelines and accommodate therapeutic diets such as low-sodium, diabetic, or mechanically altered textures. Residents typically eat in a central dining room where staff are on hand to assist with seating and feeding, but in-room meal service is available for those who are ill or prefer privacy. Between scheduled meals, snacks and beverages are offered to support hydration and calorie needs, and families may arrange to share a meal with a resident by notifying the dietary department in advance. As with room features, specific dining options can vary by resident preference and clinical requirements.
