Saints Joachim & Anne Nursing & Rehabilitation Center sits right by the ocean in a peaceful part of Brooklyn, and this place goes about its days with a quiet, caring nature, being managed by a non-profit and keeping a focus on faith, recovery, and wellness, with board-certified physicians and nurses on hand around the clock. The center has 200 beds, so it fits both people needing short stays after a hospital visit and those who need long-term care, and you'll see all kinds of services, from skilled nursing and general medical care to things like ventilator, tracheostomy, and respiratory care if someone's got special health needs. There's a dementia unit for folks who need memory support, as well as hospice, wound, stroke, and cardiac care, plus help with speech, occupational, and physical therapy so people can recover or stay strong, and not to forget, psychological services and medical subspecialties are on the table for those who need them.
The director, Larry Malkin, D.O., leads a caring staff, and someone like Steven Smyth helps families get the information and help they need, which can be a lot with all these details and choices, and this place is connected with groups like NYSHFA NYSCAL. They offer pastoral care for spiritual needs and build personalized plans, so each person gets the attention they need, and there's a special diet program if someone's got eating rules or needs extra help. Residents can expect activities for fun and social time, with beautiful grounds and rooms that have nice views you'd expect near the ocean, and it's meant to feel comfortable, clean, and welcoming. For those looking at coming here, there are tours so folks and their families can come see things for themselves, since it's good to get a real picture of what's here. With tests like COVID-19 antigen and glucose checks, along with a waiver certificate type and CLIA number 33D0653906, the center keeps its health checks up to date, while the whole place operates under a faith-based approach, and tries to make sure every resident gets the care and respect they deserve.
