Elmhurst Care Center is a nursing home in Queens County with 240 beds. It has nearly four decades of experience serving residents in need of skilled nursing care and rehabilitation. The facility has a team of registered nurses, nurse aides, and licensed practical nurses who are available around the clock to support residents with daily care and medical oversight. It accepts Medicaid and Medicare, giving families different options depending on their financial situations.
The facility offers more than basic nursing care, with rehabilitation services such as speech and audiology therapy for residents recovering from stroke, surgery, or other health events. Respite care is available for families who need short-term support. The doctor is on staff and provides medical care, so families won’t need to go outside for appointments. Recreational therapy and religious services are also offered for seniors who want to stay active, social, and connected to their faith.
Queens County’s neighborhood has moderate walkability. Some nearby services can be reached on foot, but most trips require transportation. Residents and families who prefer a quieter neighborhood may appreciate the location while still having access to nearby services and healthcare providers.
State health inspections have identified areas for improvement in staffing, care planning documentation, and housekeeping practices. These concerns have been addressed. Families evaluating the home can take a tour of the facility to get a clear sense of room accommodations and the daily rhythm of care.
Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
| 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.
| 33m per day | ▼ 21% 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.
| 24m per day | ▼ 48% 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 13m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 2h 11m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day |
|
Weekend Total Nursing
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 53m per day | ▼ 9% 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.
| 3m per day | ▼ 57% State avg: 7m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
Weekend RN
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.
| 28m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 28m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
