St Margaret's Center

St Margaret's Center sits as a long-term care facility that's been around since 1883 and run by Jule Kovacs and Gregory Sorrentino since June 2017, and you'll find it operates as a non-profit corporation with certified beds for 92 residents, though on most days about 79 people stay there, and the staff delivers about 8.33 nursing hours per resident daily, though the nurse turnover rate stands at a high 50.9%, so you will notice some changes among caregivers more often than in other places. The community provides different levels of care, from independent and assisted living for adults mainly over 55 or 62 to specialized memory care for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, with those services costing about three times as much as basic care, offering help with things like dressing, bathing, daily healthcare, housekeeping, laundry, and there's always 24-hour supervision and medical care available, along with on-site prepared meals, sometimes one or two each day, and residents join in life activities both on their own and in groups. If you look at the medical part, St Margaret's Center offers nursing, rehabilitation, and health services in one spot, all managed by a team with doctors, licensed nurses, therapists for speech and movement, dieticians, psychologists, social workers, and service coordinators, and there's access to programs like the First Choice Nursing Float Pool, Pharmacy Residency, and MyChart for patient information. There's a strong focus on supporting people with disabilities-adults, children, and even medically fragile infants-thanks to their Center for Disability Services, and spaces like fully accessible playgrounds and on-site, furnished family apartments make visiting easier for loved ones, and the Day Light Program lets adults with chronic conditions attend day health care. The campus has on-site school services for children with disabilities, wellness classes, support groups, a Down Syndrome Aim High program, and summer camps like Camp Spectacular or Clover Patch Camp, so young residents get a full experience. The nursing side stays open all day and night, giving intensive medical care, and there's help for families like respite care, transportation, and guidance through insurance or benefits. Residents have access to dental care, rehabilitation through connections to Sunnyview Rehabilitation Hospital, and specialty care with SPHP Medical Associates, as well as pharmacy and behavioral health services. While the staff-recognized for their compassion and care-work to make it feel like home by involving patients with activities, school, family reunions, and social times, it's worth noting that recent reports show some issues with infection control, protecting residents from harm, and creating complete care plans. Even with those concerns, people here get the benefit of a setting that encourages learning and growing for children and young adults with obstacles, offering both health care and community supports, and the facility provides information about pricing, bills, and financial aid right up front, aiming for honesty and clarity in how things work.
