Ozanam Hall of Queens Nursing Home

Ozanam Hall of Queens Nursing Home sits on 201st Street in New York City and is known for its strong focus on caring for seniors in a respectful and safe way, and people say, even though the rating is a 3.2 from 43 reviews, the place stays recognized for very good cleanliness, and always puts infection control and safety measures first for everyone living and working there. This facility has more than 430 beds and offers a broad range of care, including long-term care, short-term rehabilitation, palliative care, respite care, memory and dementia care, including a Montessori-inspired program called Carmel Hall that supports residents using therapeutic activities to encourage independence and a sense of purpose, and they've got private and semi-private rooms, so families can pick what suits their needs. The nursing home runs a full therapy program, including physical, occupational, and speech therapy, held six days a week, and they've got in-house clinics to handle wound management, tracheostomy care, pain management, orthopedic care, outpatient dialysis, neurological rehab, and IV therapy, plus special programs for brain fitness in dementia care. Spiritual care matters here, so they've got a chapel and pastoral support for all residents, no matter their beliefs, and regular religious services are part of the routine. The staff tries to meet physical and emotional goals through creative activities like arts and painting, gardening, exercise, and pet therapy, organized by a full-time Activities Director, and there's support for family caregivers too. Dining takes place with waited service, and food and nutrition services keep up with dietary needs, and the beauty parlor lets folks keep up on grooming. They offer guidance on long-term care insurance as well, and always aim to create a welcoming place where seniors can find comfort, whether they need help for a little while or a long time. The facility is led by the Carmelite Mission, focusing on dignity and quality of life, and people living there have support for spiritual, physical, and social needs, with care matched to each person even as they age or face serious illnesses, and they do all this with a gentle, holistic approach that feels steady through the many types of support and therapy provided.
