Palm Gardens Center for Nursing & Rehabilitation

Palm Gardens Center for Nursing & Rehabilitation sits at 615 Ave C in Brooklyn and is a large, state-of-the-art building filled with different options for care, and the place has a real focus on both long-term and short-term rehabilitation, so if a person's coming out of the hospital and isn't quite ready to go home, or if they need just some extra help day after day, the staff is there all the time and there's always a nurse around to help out, and when you walk through, you'll see they have rehabilitation rooms that've been newly fixed up, as well as areas like the Penthouse Rehab with its own private gym, lounges, dining rooms, and views, which people say makes them feel a little more at home and less like they're in a hospital. People here get personal care plans, and the team, including staff like Nadine Connor, try hard to pay attention to what every person both wants and needs, whether that's getting therapy every day, having skilled nursing, or getting help with things like dialysis over at the Dialysis Center that Dr. Robert Krinsky leads, or even special respiratory support or ventilator care if breathing gets hard, and for folks needing a boost after a tough illness-like a stroke, brain injury, or surgery-they've got physical, occupational, speech, and respiratory therapies right there in the building so you don't have to run around to other places. The Respiratory Pavilion and dedicated Ventilator Unit support people as they work at getting back to independent breathing, and for others, post-acute care, pain management, hospice, and wound care are all offered under one roof. Both private and shared rooms have TVs, phones, and little refrigerators, so you don't miss comforts from home, and the whole center tries to keep a cheerful feel, as much as possible under the circumstances, with bright dining rooms and a gym with equipment just for therapy. The center accepts people dealing with many conditions, including Parkinson's, strokes, fractures, and multiple sclerosis, and everyone's care is tailored to their own situation, whether they need a short stay or plan to live there long term. There's a strong focus on recovery, with the center's team wanting residents to get back to daily life and activities they enjoy, and the staff is always around, day or night, to help with what's needed.
