Staten Island Care Center is licensed as a skilled nursing facility, providing 24-hour medical oversight by registered nurses and attending physicians. Residents who need short-term rehabilitation after surgery, illness, or injury have access to on-site physical, occupational, and speech therapy, along with pain management and wound care. The center is equipped to handle complex clinical needs such as IV therapy, cardiac and respiratory monitoring, and diabetes management, ensuring continuity of care without repeated hospital trips.
Beyond direct medical treatment, the facility coordinates care plans that include medication administration, routine health assessments, and social-service support. Families can meet with care teams to review progress and adjust goals, and a pharmacy consultant helps maintain accurate prescription records. Transportation to off-site dialysis or specialist appointments is arranged when necessary, and the staff can assist with transitions to hospice care if a resident’s condition changes.
Private and semi-private rooms are available, and some provide access to scheduled intergenerational programs that bring local students into the building for shared activities. Outdoor areas are offered for supervised walks, seasonal events, and family visits, though not every room is located near these spaces. Housekeeping and laundry services are included, and maintenance staff address requests promptly.
Daily meals are prepared in an on-site kitchen under the guidance of a registered dietitian. Menus rotate regularly and include options for low-sodium, diabetic, and pureed diets. Residents may choose to eat in the central dining hall or request tray service in their rooms, depending on medical recommendations and personal preference. Snacks are available between meals, and hydration stations are monitored throughout the day.
An activity center hosts group exercise classes, crafts, and educational sessions, while scheduled bingo games encourage social interaction. Residents looking for quieter pastimes can use the library and computer lounge for reading, internet access, and video calls with family.
