New Vanderbilt Rehabilitation & Care Center sits at 135 Vanderbilt Avenue in Staten Island, offering skilled nursing care day and night, every day, so there's always staff nearby if something comes up, and you see registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, doctors, and certified nursing assistants taking care of residents who need help with bathing, dressing, or moving from bed to chair. The center has room for up to 48 people, and as of June 2025, all 48 beds are open with no wait list, and you can get short-term, long-term, or respite care here, which the facility bills through insurance or at $500 a day for private pay, and families can look at sub-acute post-hospital care, stroke recovery, and full rehabilitation programs, plus services like ventilator rehab, pulmonary rehab, and help for folks who have trouble breathing because of heart or lung problems.
Residents get care for all sorts of daily needs with 24-hour call systems and supervision, plus the place helps with medication, transfers, and non-ambulatory support, and both Medicare and Medicaid are accepted. There's always a nurse on the floor-sometimes you see 12 or even 16 hours of direct nursing care a day-and staff includes social workers for discharge planning, arranging home care, and medical equipment when someone's ready to leave. Meals come three times a day in dining rooms on every floor, and there are choices for special diets; you see furnished rooms, private bathrooms, and Wi-Fi with cable TV, which makes it a bit more comfortable, and the building has high-speed internet, a fitness room, arts room, library, spa, business room, and spaces for activities like music, movies, and religious services.
You notice wide outdoor spaces and walking paths where people gather, relax, or get some fresh air, and every resident can join in on community programs or use transportation for appointments, even for free rides to and from Brooklyn. During cold and flu season, the staff brings flu and COVID vaccines right to residents, so people stay as healthy as they can. There are social workers on staff, and you see a complaint gets followed up quickly with the right department, which helps with resident satisfaction, and anyone can ask for a tour or get more information on the website. The staff directory, media gallery, and program photos are right online for families who want to see. The Rehab Solarium brings in plenty of light for rehab sessions, where people take part in their recovery. Everything's run for profit, under new ownership within the past year, but the staff keeps things straightforward and tries to help residents settle in with move-in coordination. New Vanderbilt offers both short-term and long-term stays, takes Medicare and Medicaid, and is always open, day or night, every day of the week, for anyone who needs skilled nursing or comprehensive rehab on Staten Island.
