Gold Crest Care Center sits at 2316 Bruner Ave in the Pelham Gardens section of the Bronx, surrounded by tree-lined streets that give the place a peaceful and comfortable feel, and this self-owned, 175-bed skilled nursing facility provides both sub-acute and long-term care, so whether someone needs short-term help after surgery or support for ongoing needs, they handle both. Residents live in spacious private or semi-private rooms, each room having a private bath, flat-screen television, individual heat and air conditioning, and telephone service, plus there's in-house laundry and home-like amenities that keep things comfortable.
There's a focus on person-centered care, where the staff creates customized treatment plans, and the services include complex medical and nursing care such as wound care, IV therapies, oxygen therapy, pain management, specialized programs for joint replacements, cancer recovery, on-site dialysis, and hospice care, so care can fit a range of needs. Professional and compassionate nurses and caregivers are always present, with therapy services to help folks walk and move better, and around-the-clock short-term rehab with state-of-the-art equipment is available, so people often get the help they need right on-site rather than leaving the building.
Gold Crest Care Center keeps life interesting for residents with a calendar of social, physical, and mental activity programs, like recreational therapy, a TV room, bright day rooms for family visits, a pleasant dining room serving nutritious meals, and a backyard patio with a lush garden where people can relax outdoors. You'll also find a beauty and barber shop, whirlpool baths on each floor, and an on-site pharmacy. As meals can be tailored for special diets and staff looks out for all aspects of health and comfort, living here means people don't have to worry about most daily needs. Gold Crest Care Center has received high marks, including a 5-Star facility rating and awards for senior living quality in 2024, and holds relationships with most major hospitals in New York. The location is close to public transportation and major highways, making visits easier.
The community includes options for assisted living, memory care, and traditional nursing care, with specialized programs for different illnesses and conditions, so families have flexibility as their loved ones' needs change. Staff takes pride in friendliness and support, and the place has a reputation for a home-like, beautiful setting and world-class amenities all under one roof.
