Queens Hospital Center is approximately 1.4 miles away and New York-Presbyterian/Queens is 3.3 miles away, providing nearby hospital resources. Residents interested in returning home following rehabilitation can reference publicly available quality measures and readmission data when evaluating outcomes.

Staffing hours breakdown

Hours per resident per day — compared to New York state averages

Staff type	Hours / Day / Resident	vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.	22m per day	▼ 48% State avg: 42m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.	33m per day	▼ 28% State avg: 46m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.	2h 7m per day	▼ 3% State avg: 2h 11m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Total Nursing (Weekend) Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.	2h 40m per day	▼ 16% State avg: 3h 10m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.	6m per day	▼ 14% State avg: 7m per day · National avg: 4m per day
RN (Weekend) Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.	9m per day	▼ 68% State avg: 28m per day · National avg: 28m per day

The most recent inspection on August 4, 2025, identified multiple Level 2 deficiencies related to care planning, quality of care, resident rights, environment, and safety features, with no actual harm or immediate jeopardy noted.
