Williamsbridge Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing sits in a quiet neighborhood and offers short-term rehab and long-term care in a building that's been newly renovated with clean rooms and nice hallways, and there's a large yard where residents can get fresh air. The center runs 24 hours, always has someone on site, and is part of Centers Health Care, which is known around the Northeast for helping people recover after illnesses or surgery. The staff there pays a lot of attention to each person's medical history, abilities, goals, and the way they like to live, making care plans to fit what every resident needs, and there's a Resident Council so families and residents can talk honestly with the staff. The nursing home earns an overall CMS rating of three stars, which averages out to about the middle, though it does have a five-star rating for health inspections and for long-stay resident care, but a two-star rating for short-term care and staffing, and the most recent resident satisfaction score is 3.9 out of 5 based on 73 reviews, so people seem fairly satisfied but not everyone's happy.
Williamsbridge Center offers many types of health services, like post-acute care, urgent care, dialysis, pulmonary support, cardiac rehab, orthopedic therapy, pain management, wound care, hospice, and services for people living with dementia, HIV/AIDS, and those who need ventilator support or are recovering from brain injuries through the TBI/Neurobehavioral Unit. For recovery after injury, illness, or surgery, the staff use new rehab equipment and run programs like RehabStrong™ and the GO Rehab Program to help each resident work on their own plan, and there's physical, occupational, and speech therapy, so someone who needs to get stronger or eat and talk better can work on that every day, too. Williamsbridge Center offers help with swallowing, voice issues, and therapies for movement, working with a team that often gives more therapy minutes each day than other places, but it does have lower overall staffing than most homes.
The center earns high marks for keeping long-term residents healthy, with pneumonia and flu vaccination rates-99.2% and 98.6%, respectively-that beat state and national averages, and catheter use, urinary tract infections, and emergency department visit rates are all lower than what's commonly seen in other homes. However, rates for pressure ulcers and hospitalizations among long-stay residents come in higher than average, which is something to think about for families. For short-stay residents, vaccination rates are lower than average, but the rate of rehospitalization is lower, which suggests shorter stays may get more stable before they go home.
Amenities and activities aim to keep life enjoyable, with recreation led by a director, wellness and nutrition programs, comfortable rooms, modern charting technology to help doctors and nurses share updates quickly, and a strong focus on making the atmosphere feel warm, cozy, and a bit like home, plus there's a sense of community because they try to bring people together in safe, simple ways. There are protocols for COVID-19, like visitor tests and health screenings. Williamsbridge Center hasn't had any fines or penalties from federal inspections in three years, but the last health inspection listed six citations, mainly about resident assessment and care planning, which is still average for the industry.
The business side runs as Williamsburg Manor Nursing Home, LLC, and the center accepts Medicare and Medicaid for its 77 beds. There's expert guidance if someone needs long-term care, and the staff can help families plan for caregiving at home, but there's not the high-level continuous care you'd get from a bigger retirement community or a hospital. If someone needs help recovering, ongoing medical care, or a place to live where people pay attention, Williamsbridge Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing offers a wide mix of services and staff who keep an eye on both medical and personal needs, and it's set up to feel safe, clean, and calm for folks who need it.
