Rockaway Care Center

Rockaway Care Center sits registered with the New York State Department of Health Adult Care Facility Directory, and people can find several floor plans and payment options to fit different needs, which is helpful for those considering moving in or helping a loved one. The center offers care for seniors, including people who need Alzheimer's care, alongside nursing care and assisted living services, so that people can get the right level of help. The building stays fully air conditioned and has wheelchair accessibility, curbside pickup, and on-site customer parking, which makes getting around a little easier for both residents and visitors. The center runs free transportation for residents and family, which really helps keep everyone connected, and the whole place has a team of over 100 nursing staff, including registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, certified nursing assistants, and medical directors, all working to help care for over 240 residents. The care team focuses on skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and medical needs, so people can get short- or long-term help, with therapy for physical, occupational, speech, and audiology issues available right at the center too. Wound care, respiratory services, tube feeding, as well as treatments for dementia and Alzheimer's disease are all available, with additional help for geriatric diagnoses. On-site, people have access to medical services like dentistry, radiology, podiatry, pharmacy, and ophthalmology, which means a lot of different medical needs can be handled without having to leave the building. Staff like Certified Nursing Assistants work hard, and the nurses usually show a polite and attentive approach, all while recreational staff and social workers look after residents with care. The environment aims to stay calm and comfortable, and the staff pay attention to health, wellness, and safety, with visitor policies in line with CDC rules, such as scheduled visiting hours from 10 AM to 8 PM and guidelines about wearing personal protective equipment or staying away if unwell. Amenities support safety, infection control, and visitor management during times like COVID-19. The overall focus remains on helping each resident recover and maintain their best health through a mix of skilled nursing, rehabilitation, daily care, and programs designed to support different needs, with the goal of helping everyone feel cared for by a committed team.
