Queens Nassau Rehabilitation & Nursing Center sits at 520 Beach 19th Street in Far Rockaway and works as a healthcare facility focused on nursing care and rehabilitation. People can use wheelchairs here since everything's wheelchair accessible, and you'll find restrooms and parking for visitors right on site, which makes stopping by much easier, and yes, there's a website at www.queensnassaurehab.com where you can check out their gallery or see what's happening in the news and activities section. The center's main thing is helping folks regain independence, and they've built up a reputation for caring for people in a truly responsible and compassionate way, especially if you're looking at traumatic brain injury rehabilitation, since it's New York's number one certified facility for that, offering a Certified Brain Injury Unit, long term TBI care, short term rehabilitation, and a sub acute rehabilitation program for when someone needs more intense therapy.
The facility runs with an interdisciplinary team of specialists including Carl Hyman, their Director of Occupational Therapy, while Joyann Giddings keeps track of quality assurance as a risk and control analyst, and Nancy V. handles human resources, making sure there's solid support throughout. The place doesn't have services like a trauma center or advanced scans like MRI or PET, but it does cover a lot of ground with specialized ICUs, including ones for medical surgery, cardiac care, and even pediatric and neonatal needs, so the range of care is broad for adults and children alike.
People come here for help with all kinds of needs, whether it's short or long term rehabilitation or more involved psychiatric care, with a big emphasis on dignity, integrity, and helping residents feel like they have a home away from home, not just another hospital stop. With 51-200 staff, Queens Nassau stays committed to being a real part of the community, focusing less on big promises and more on actually delivering care every day, using the CMS Star Rating system for reviews and keeping values front and center in their work.
