Overview of The Pines at Poughkeepsie Center for Nursing & Rehabilitation The Pines at Poughkeepsie Center for Nursing & Rehabilitation provides nursing home, hospice care, memory care, palliative care, respite care, and skilled nursing in Poughkeepsie, NY. Skilled nursing includes licensed nursing care on site around the clock, while memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone living with dementia. Hospice addresses end of life needs, palliative care centers on comfort and symptom management, and respite care offers a short stay when a family caregiver needs to travel or recover.
Several care levels are available here. That may suit a resident whose needs change over time without requiring a move to another community. The community has 200 beds, with total nurse staffing of 3 hours and 16 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily hands on nursing time allocated to each resident.
Rehabilitation services allow residents to receive rehabilitation at the community. The Legacy Living Alzheimer’s, Dementia, and Memory Care Program supports residents who need memory focused care. In house primary care and specialty physicians also give residents access to physician care on site.
A Walk Score of 90 makes the area a walker’s paradise, where daily errands do not require a car. A resident who no longer drives can still get out independently. Payment options are Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay: Medicare covers short term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long term residence, Medicaid may help when savings do not cover a long stay, and private pay means paying directly for care.
Poughkeepsie Crossings operates the community, and Alison Gilmore serves as its director. The range of nursing, memory, hospice, palliative, respite, and rehabilitation services may make the community a good fit for a resident whose care needs may change over time.
