Long Island Care Center is a nursing home in Flushing, New York, offering palliative care and skilled nursing. Nursing home care provides a residential setting with ongoing nursing support, while skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care for residents with clinical needs. Palliative care centers on comfort for someone living with serious illness, so the combination may suit a resident who needs ongoing nursing support or comfort focused care.
The center has 200 beds, making it a larger setting with more residents, staff, and programming. Rehabilitation services are available onsite, allowing a resident to receive rehabilitation within the community instead of arranging transportation elsewhere. Clinical services include ventilator care, subacute care, long term skilled care, Total Parenteral Nutrition, peritoneal dialysis, enteral feeding, and ostomy care for residents with these medical needs.
An onsite bakery prepares fresh, homemade treats, with complimentary bakery offerings available to residents and guests. Residents can also receive grooming services at the onsite beauty salon rather than leaving the community for them. Around the clock language support helps residents communicate with staff in their language, and a doctor on staff provides physician care within the center.
Total nurse staffing is 3 hours and 12 minutes per resident per day. This represents the daily hands on nursing time allocated to each resident. Long Island Care Center accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, giving families those payment methods to use toward care.
