Sunshine Care Corp operates Hempstead Park Nursing Home, a 251-bed nursing home on Front Street in Hempstead, Nassau County. It’s been open since 1998, and the building sits close in, just 0.6 miles from the city center in a very walkable stretch (Walk Score 73). Most errands here don’t require a car.
At 94 percent occupancy, the facility currently houses 221 residents, and it runs both a resident council and a family council, which means there’s a standing, formal way for people to weigh in on how things operate. The care model spans a wide range: physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, short-term rehab, and respite care for families who need a break. Hempstead Park also handles dementia and Alzheimer’s care, which puts memory care under the same roof as its skilled nursing and hospice services. Nursing coverage comes out to 2 hours and 47 minutes of total care per resident each day, with registered nurses accounting for 20 minutes of that.
Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted, so families have more than one route to financing a stay. State inspectors have tended to focus their reviews here on medication management, staff credentials, environmental safety, and how well the facility documents and plans resident care, along with resident rights protections. Taken as a whole, this is a facility built for volume and range: short-term rehab, long-term nursing, hospice, and memory care all operating out of the same 251 beds, serving residents whose needs shift over time rather than staying fixed.
Hempstead Park Nursing Home is legally operated by Sunshine Care Corp (For Profit).
