Sunrise Manor Nursing Home

Sunrise Manor Nursing Home sits in Bay Shore, NY, on Suffolk County's South Shore, and holds 84 certified beds for nursing care and rehabilitation. The facility isn't part of a hospital or a Continuing Care Retirement Community, and goes under the official name Sunrise Manor Nursing Home, Inc. It works as a for-profit corporation and takes Medicare and Medicaid, which makes payment a bit easier for some families. The home has a Resident Council so those living there can talk more openly with staff about daily life and improvements. The management team holds roles for an administrator, a medical director, a director of nursing, and a director of admissions.

CMS gives Sunrise Manor an overall rating of 2 stars, which means "below average," but it earned 3 stars for health inspections and for the quality of long-term care, both of which are "average." Long-stay residents tend to do well, with a high 5-star rating in that area, while short-stay rehab holds a lower 2 stars. The staffing rating is low at 1 star, or "much below average." For healthcare, the facility has registered nurses, licensed nurses, certified nursing assistants, dieticians, rehabilitation therapists, and people for recreation therapy. Residents get a Baseline Comprehensive Care Plan soon after move-in, with the staff aiming to follow through on each person's plan. Physical therapy averages around 5 minutes daily per resident. The facility can take care of wounds, handle complex medical cases, and offer hospice care when needed. The staff gives flu and pneumonia shots to most short-term residents. There's close tracking on falls, bed sores, catheter use, and infections, with most of these measures coming in at or below state averages, though worsening mobility in long-term residents stands above average at 23.8%. Pain levels in residents remain low, and the home hasn't received any serious penalties or citations over the last three years.

Residents stay in private or semi-private rooms that are bright, clean, and outfitted with cable TV and bedside nurse-call buttons. Most rooms have flat-panel televisions with remotes. There's an open visitation policy as of the last update. The facility is newly remodeled and aims to give a home-like atmosphere filled with privacy, independence, and caring support. Three meals per day come standard, with ethnic or special meals possible if requested.

Sunrise Manor runs many activities for all interests and backgrounds, including a Spanish Club, intellectual and physical games, music, religious programs, shopping trips, theater outings, and chances for dining in the community. Nurses, therapists, and activity staff support residents throughout short-term rehab or long-term stays and work under care plans tailored to each person. The home handles pharmaceutical, dental, podiatry, and audiology needs along with basics like laundry and parking.

There's a comprehensive Emergency Management Plan and strict COVID-19 safety rules; as of the latest report, there were no COVID-19 cases among staff or residents. The facility has a strict nondiscrimination rule that covers orientation, gender identity, and HIV status, and it doesn't allow bullying or harassment. Sunrise Manor keeps a website with details on services and updates for families. Recent online reviews rate the home at 3.2 out of 5 stars. Those looking for skilled nursing or assisted living services, whether for short or long stays, will find Sunrise Manor delivers both, led by a professional team who follow legal and ethical standards and do their best to focus on each resident as an individual.
