Linden Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation sits at 2237 Linden Blvd in Brooklyn and has another location in Harlem, so families from different parts of the city can find the care they need for their loved ones. The center offers short-term rehabilitation, long-term skilled nursing, and even respite care if a caregiver needs a break. Nurses and therapists handle everything from physical, occupational, and speech therapies to dental, podiatry, eye, and wound care. The place has a unit with over 40 beds for people with Alzheimer's disease, and special programs like Memory Plaza, Hearts in Motion, and Minds in Motion focus on memory and mental health.
The center uses advanced technology, including the EarlySense monitoring system for comfort and safety, robotic devices like the H200 wireless system to help with hand rehabilitation after an injury or stroke, and Constant Care to keep track of important health signs. TeleHealth makes it possible for doctors to see residents without making them travel for appointments. In case of an emergency, staff transfer residents to local hospitals.
People living at the center get help with housekeeping and laundry, and there's a beauty parlor, barbershop, and personal concierge to help with daily needs. Chaplain services offer spiritual support. Art, music, exercise, and religious programs give residents a chance to express themselves and stay connected. Meals are served in a dining room described as world-class, designed to provide comfort. Linden Center specializes in neurological, stroke, orthopedic, and cardiac rehabilitation, and brings together skilled nurses, physicians, and therapists to focus on what each person needs most. The center calls itself a place with both activities and amenities, designed to keep people engaged and supported each day.
