The Wayne Center for Nursing & Rehab sits in the Bronx, New York, and provides skilled nursing care around the clock. Staff give a lot of attention to residents with memory challenges, including Alzheimer's and dementia, offering memory care programs to help keep everyone safe and supported. Nurses, therapists, and social service staff work together, giving care to help residents with their medical needs, daily activities, and emotional support. There are services like physical, occupational, and speech therapy, plus programs for people with heart or lung problems, including cardiac rehab, pulmonary care, and even dialysis and hospice care for those who need it. The staff focus a lot on dignity, helping people keep as much independence as they can, and trying to make life enjoyable.
The building has a clean, welcoming feel, with rooms that have been updated, a big rehab gym, an ADL suite for practicing daily tasks, and even a mini golf area where folks like to stretch their legs. The dietary department, supervised by registered dieticians, prepares healthy meals that are also kosher for those who want it. Recreation staff run activities every day, like games, parties, worship services, and outings, so each person can find something enjoyable no matter their ability. Social workers help with concerns, support groups, and questions that residents or families have. The Wayne Center handles everything from wound care and complex therapies to simple daily needs, aiming to help each resident get the best quality of life each day, in a safe and friendly setting.
