Overview of East Longmeadow Skilled Nursing Center

East Longmeadow Skilled Nursing Center operates a specialized physical recovery and long-term care facility on Maple Street in East Longmeadow, Massachusetts. Managed under the ownership of Michael Marcus, the building primarily serves individuals transferring directly from hospital stays or post-operative surgeries, with residents averaging an active recovery stay of about 92 days. The location carries a walk score of 20, meaning the immediate neighborhood is entirely car-dependent and out-of-town visitors will need a vehicle to run daily errands outside the grounds.

The healthcare team provides an average of three hours and 51 minutes of direct nursing care per resident each day, utilizing a continuous rotation of registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nurse aides. To help residents rebuild physical strength, the property houses two physical rehabilitation gyms and a simulated home-environment therapy room designed to mirror everyday household layouts.

On-site medical programs also cover certified memory care, short-term respite stays, and specialized palliative or hospice treatments, overseen by staff physicians and registered dietitians. Private rooms feature individual climate controls, accessible private bathrooms, building-wide Wi-Fi, and access to an on-site beauty shop.

Prospective individuals can call the administrative staff at (413) 525-6361 to check on current bed vacancies or to verify clinical intake parameters. The billing office can explain how they track medical invoices across standard Medicare, state Medicaid, or out-of-pocket payment channels, and they can show you how the rehabilitation therapists schedule weekly strength routines.

Standout metric LPN / LVN is +9% above state avg
Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info 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. 37m per day ▼ 4% State avg: 39m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info 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. 1h 3m per day ▲ 9% State avg: 57m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info 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 20m per day ▲ 3% State avg: 2h 16m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day

Weekend RN Info 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. 23m per day ▼ 14% State avg: 27m per day · National avg: 29m per day
