Momentum at South Bay for Rehabilitation and Nursing in East Islip, NY

Overview of Momentum at South Bay for Rehabilitation and Nursing

Momentum at South Bay for Rehabilitation and Nursing sits at 340 East Montauk Highway in East Islip, a 160-bed skilled nursing facility run by Suffolk Restorative Therapy and Nursing, LLC. Occupancy runs high here, 97 percent, with 155 of 160 beds filled. That’s about as close to full as a facility gets.

Staffing is where this place actually distinguishes itself. Total nursing care averages 3 hours and 49 minutes per resident, per day, and registered nurses alone account for 53 minutes of that. Those aren’t vague promises about “attentive care,” they’re concrete numbers that reflect real clinical depth. The area itself is car-dependent, Walk Score of 17, so getting around means getting behind the wheel.

The clinical programming backs up that staffing investment. Diabetes Management and Education, Amputee Rehabilitation, and a 30-Day Medicare track are all named, structured programs, not generic service categories. Cardiology and vascular monitoring, wound care, and post-COVID-19 rehabilitation round out the specialized care lineup. Outside the clinical side, there are gardens, a bakery, and a gym, small things, but they matter for daily quality of life.

Inspections here have tended to focus on infection prevention and control and care planning and documentation, the kind of operational areas regulators routinely review at facilities handling complex medical cases.

What this shows is a skilled nursing facility built for residents who need real clinical intensity: strong staffing numbers, named specialty programs, and a structure clearly calibrated for more complicated medical needs than a typical long-term care setting.

Staffing hours breakdown

Hours per resident per day — compared to New York state averages

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.	28m per day	■ Avg State avg: 28m per day · National avg: 28m per day
