Mostly short-term rehab stays
Most residents typically stay for a few weeks or months before returning home or moving on.
Most new residents arrive under Medicare (84% of admissions), and a typical Medicare stay runs around 1 - 2 months.
Maria Regina Rehabilitation and Nursing, at 1725 Brentwood Road in Brentwood, Suffolk County, is a 188-bed skilled nursing facility operated by Optima Care Brentwood, LLC, with a 4-star CMS rating. The community houses all residents in private rooms on a 212-acre campus and admits residents primarily for short-term rehabilitation under Medicare coverage.
Staffing levels show strength in bedside caregiving roles. Licensed practical nurses average 1 hour 19 minutes per resident daily, nearly 72% above the state standard; and nurse aides provide 2 hours 47 minutes per resident, 27% above state benchmarks. Weekend nursing hours reach 4 hours 8 minutes per resident, notably above the statewide 3-hour average. Registered nurse coverage runs at 33 minutes per resident daily, falling short of the state’s 42-minute benchmark.
Regulatory findings reveal a pattern of quality concerns. A complaint investigation in January 2025 identified 17 deficiencies related to care planning, medication management, nursing staffing sufficiency, and multiple life safety code violations in fire alarms, electrical systems, and sprinkler maintenance; all corrected by mid-March. Earlier inspections, dating to 2022, documented recurring themes in nursing staff competence, medication storage, and fire safety system upkeep. The facility recorded 19 citations over five years, compared with the state average of 13.
An enforcement action was issued in April 2024 following quality of care findings, accompanied by a $9,000 federal penalty.
An active lawsuit, initiated in 2024, has a scheduled court appearance in May 2026.
Complaint filings, 32 in total, remain well below the state average of 79.
Short-stay resident outcomes are notably strong: rehospitalization rates sit 32% better than the state norm, emergency department visits 44% better, and return-to-home rates 22% above state benchmarks. Amenities include a garden courtyard, chapel with religious services, and a resident dining room. Nursing assessment measures, vaccination rates, and rehabilitation outcomes rank favorably for post-acute placement.
Maria Regina fits residents completing acute hospitalization and transitioning to recovery through short-term rehabilitation, though recent regulatory findings merit inquiry about corrective measures.
Maria Regina Rehabilitation and Nursing is legally operated by Optima Care Brentwood, LLC (For Profit).
In New York, the Department of Health, Office of Aging and Long Term Care performs unannounced onsite inspections to monitor compliance with state and federal healthcare regulations.
