Sands Point Center for Nursing & Rehabilitation sits in Port Washington, right by Manhasset Bay, and keeps a peaceful setting away from city noise, with a building that looks and feels a bit like an upscale spa but still keeps things homey and comfortable, not cold or fancy to the point where folks don't feel at ease, and you'll notice clean rooms, tidy beds, and fresh linens all around. The facility provides both short-term and sub-acute services along with skilled nursing care by a team that includes doctors, Registered Nurses (RNs), Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), and Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs), all of whom aim to treat people like family and support different needs, whether someone is staying for a little while or planning for a longer stretch. Care programs cover a wide range, like orthopedic rehabilitation, specialized wound care, neuro-rehabilitation, stroke therapy, amputee rehab, care for traumatic brain injuries (TBI), and there's even a certified ventilator unit-the first to be accredited in New York State-with expert pulmonary and respiratory therapy available for those who need it, plus a close link with St. Francis Hospital in case more help is needed. The staff here put focus on recovery and rehabilitation, so physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy are all available too, and there's a 1:1 ratio of therapists to patients which means every person gets plenty of attention and help for their situation.
The center pays attention to meals as well, serving nutritious food with dishes like fish that residents mention as tasty, and diets are always adjusted to health needs, whether a person needs lower salt, added protein, or something else. Residents have amenities that make daily life better and activities designed to keep folks social and feeling good, and the atmosphere encourages family connections-visiting hours are suggested from 10 AM to 8 PM, so people can stay close to loved ones. Staff keeps things clean and safe, with supervision at all times, and the team works to care for the whole person-mind, body, and spirit. Sands Point Center also offers long-term care, assisted living, memory care, and even home care, helping seniors with different levels of independence. The environment stays quiet, the building and grounds are pleasant, and care always aims for comfort, healing, and dignity, with a reputation for skilled, knowledgeable staff who make sure every resident feels supported and informed.
