The Enclave at Rye Rehabilitation and Nursing Center sits in Westchester County, New York, and cares for an average of 149 residents a day in a building with 160 certified beds, where the staff aims to help people get back to living more independent lives by using a clear, goal-oriented approach, and they do keep a focus on both short-term and long-term needs. The center belongs to the CareRite network, which means it follows their guidelines and overall philosophy, and the management has been under Sharon Einhorn and Devorah Friedman since July 2016. The facility features a staff dedicated to post-acute care, and the nurses, therapists, and other caregivers provide help with bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and medication, and there are specialty programs for Amputee Care, Cardiovascular Care, Orthopedic and Neurological Rehabilitation, Pulmonary and Ventilator Care, along with Wound Care, Dysphagia, and other unique conditions.
The Enclave also offers adult day services at Middle Island East and Middle Island West, and the residents use rooms that come with safety features like sprinkler systems, grab bars, kitchenettes, laundry access, and cable TV, so they try to make things easy and as home-like as they can. On the property, visitors and residents find amenities such as game and activities rooms, guest parking, Wi-Fi, a dining room, a fitness center, a salon/barbershop, and regular housekeeping, plus transportation for outings or appointments. Meals and dining options, activity programs, arts and crafts, and wellness classes keep people active and social, and long-term care insurance options are available.
The nursing team has a turnover rate of about 32 percent, which is a bit better than the state's average, but nursing hours per resident per day are lower than the state norm, with 3.17 hours instead of 3.7 hours. Medical care includes podiatry, wound support, medication management, and occupational therapy, and the staff works to adapt services to each resident's needs, aiming to help folks recover and maintain function however they can. Management says the whole community is being renovated to improve both amenities and clinical care, and there are some added touches, like concierge services, dining partnerships, suites, and valet service, that give things a bit of a luxury feeling for those who want it.
However, inspection reports over recent years show a total of 10 reported deficiencies, including two related to infection control, a problem with serving food from unapproved sources or not following professional food standards (which was seen as having potential for more than minimal harm), and a deficiency for not always keeping areas free of hazards or properly supervising residents (which actually resulted in some harm, although it wasn't judged as immediate jeopardy). The facility holds Bronze and Silver National Quality Awards from the AHCA/NCAL, but the past deficiencies are important for families to know about when weighing their options. The Enclave at Rye Rehabilitation and Nursing Center continues to offer skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and personal care in a modern, supportive setting that tries to cover both basic and high-level health needs as folks work on recovery or need ongoing support.
