Beth Abraham Center sits at 612 Allerton Ave in the Bronx, New York City, and has been part of the community since 1920, starting as Beth Abraham Hospital and Beth Abraham Home and expanding over the years. The facility has 450 beds and serves both adults and children, providing skilled nursing care, long-term residential care, and short-term rehabilitation. People often come here after a stroke, orthopedic injury, or heart event because the staff includes expert therapists who use the latest rehab technology and create rehabilitation plans for each person, working through programs like RehabStrong™ and GO™ Rehab to help patients regain movement and return home when possible. Residents get round-the-clock care with clinical specialists and nurses, and most rooms have private bathrooms for comfort.
The Center is part of Beth Abraham Health Services, which belongs to CenterLight Health System and is affiliated with the Centers Health Care network, known for post-acute care in the Northeast. There's a private medical center onsite with modern diagnostic equipment and ambulance service, along with regular laboratory and specialty consultations. The Institute for Music and Neurologic Function (IMNF) offers a music therapy program, while community engagement happens through activities and programs like PEP for Seniors, which is a Naturally Occurring Retirement Community, and Independent Housing options. Beth Abraham Center runs the Center for Nursing & Rehabilitation, also called Beth Abraham Health Services CNR Margaret Tietz Schnurmacher. Assistance ranges from specialized wound care, pulmonary services, cardiac care, ventilator care, dialysis, pain management, dementia care, TBI/Neurobehavioral services, to HIV/AIDS and hospice. There's a Wellness Spa Center that visitors can book, and the whole facility has a main lobby, front desk, renovated corridors, and communal areas that aim to feel home-like and comfortable.
The staff follows COVID-19 protocols with health screenings, PPE, and testing for visitors, and they use electronic charting to keep care teams updated. The building has amenities that support both residential comfort and medical care, like a nutrition program and organized community activities. Beth Abraham Center meets CMS Five Star standards, and people can arrange tours online through the website. The philosophy here focuses on helping residents recover, emphasizing family, friendship, and staying active in the community, and staff adjust nurse-to-resident ratios so residents get hands-on care whenever needed.
