Momentum at South Bay for Rehabilitation and Nursing, at 340 East Montauk Highway in East Islip, Suffolk County, is a 160-bed skilled nursing facility operated by Suffolk Restorative Therapy and Nursing, LLC. The facility holds a 4-star CMS overall rating and was recognized as high-performing by U.S. News for short-term rehabilitation and long-term care.
Clinical staffing depth distinguishes the operation. Nurse hours total 3 hours 49 minutes per resident daily, running above both state (3h 34m) and national averages. Registered nurses deliver 53 minutes per resident per day, 26% more than New York’s typical 42 minutes; a meaningful margin for facilities handling complex medical cases.
The inspection record shows elevated citation activity. Since 2015, the facility has accumulated 39 citations, roughly triple the New York average of 13. A complaint investigation in September 2025 uncovered Level 2 deficiencies spanning care planning, infection control, pain management, and physician supervision; inspectors confirmed these as isolated findings without broader systemic failure. Preceding surveys had identified recurring challenges in infection prevention and health safety network compliance, both corrected through timely corrective action.
No fines, immediate jeopardy orders, or license restrictions appear in the public record.
Quality performance metrics paint a stronger picture. Long-stay residents experience hospitalization rates 43% lower than the state average; emergency department visits sit 65% below state norms. Occupancy holds at 97%; well above New York’s 88% typical rate.
Named programs include Diabetes Management and Education, Amputee Rehabilitation, and a 30-Day Medicare track. The facility also provides cardiology and vascular monitoring, wound care, and post-COVID-19 rehabilitation. Gardens, spa-like care services, a bakery, and an on-site gym round out the physical setting.
This facility fits residents requiring intensive nursing oversight and structured post-acute rehabilitation, with clinical programs and staffing ratios calibrated for complex medical conditions.
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.
| 53m per day | ▲ 26% 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.
| 1h 8m 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 16m per day | ▲ 4% 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.
| 3h 43m per day | ▲ 17% 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.
| 9m per day | ▲ 29% 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.
