Overview of Quantum Rehabilitation and Nursing LLC

Operated and owned by Mohammud Alam, Quantum Rehabilitation and Nursing is a 120-bed skilled nursing home in Middle Island, a residential area of Suffolk County, New York. Families can pay through Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay to cover both short-term rehabilitation and longer-term care needs. The facility’s location in a moderately walkable neighborhood allows families to accomplish some errands on foot.

The facility offers rehabilitation and recovery services, including specialized programs in neurological rehabilitation and COVID recovery, as well as general rehabilitation services. Residents usually stay for 125 days after hospital discharge while recovering before returning home. Some residents stay longer for ongoing nursing care. The facility’s occupancy rate is 86%, with 103 of the 120 beds currently occupied. Nurses work 24 hours a day to provide care to residents throughout the day.

Daily nurse staffing averages nearly 3 hours per resident. Registered nurses provide about 47 minutes of that time. That level of direct nursing support helps residents during recovery and ongoing care. The home also has a modern rehabilitation gym for physical therapy, with a strong focus on quality care and comfortable living spaces.

State inspections over the past decade identified minor deficiencies in resident records and care planning. However, these were corrected promptly. The facility’s consistency across multiple inspections is a good signal for families evaluating the home’s daily operations.
