Regeis Care Center sits in the Bronx and runs with a for-profit partnership under the name Regeis Care Center, not tied to a hospital or Continuing Care Retirement Community, and it's home to 236 certified beds for folks who need nursing and convalescent care, whether that's short-term rehabilitation or long-term stays. The building's kept up and clean, and it offers a range of health services like physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, social work, 24-hour skilled nursing, medical supplies, oxygen therapy, and pharmacy support, and there's a therapy team to help residents with mobility, daily life skills, and speech, plus a registered dietician plans meals to fit each resident's nutritional needs under a physician's direction. Regeis Care Center's got a resident council for sharing ideas or concerns, and the social services staff helps with benefits, advocacy, and adjustment to life in the facility, while the clinical staff writes up personalized care plans for everyone, striving for patient-centered and holistic care that pays attention not just to physical needs, but emotional and mental wellness, too. Residents can expect amenities, activities, and different types of assistance designed to make daily life a bit easier, and the food's received good reviews from people living there.
In terms of safety and inspections, the last fire safety check was on July 3, 2018, with one citation noted, while the most recent health inspection on June 18, 2018, led to only one citation, no big deficiencies, and five out of five stars on that count. The overall CMS quality rating sits at four stars, with four stars for both short- and long-stay care, showing general satisfaction with clinical outcomes, although the facility's staffing is rated at the lowest one star, with nurses' aides clocking in at 2 hours and 13 minutes per resident each day, LPNs and LVNs at 42 minutes, registered nurses at 20 minutes, licensed nurses altogether averaging about an hour and two minutes, and physical therapists at 13 minutes per resident per day, reflecting lighter staffing than many other places.
Looking at resident outcomes, data shows that for long-stay residents there are 1.15 emergency department visits and 2.10 hospitalizations per 1,000 resident days, a pneumonia vaccination rate hitting 100% and a flu shot rate of 95.3%, though 12.8% have worse mobility over time and 15.3% of high-risk long-stay folks develop pressure ulcers, with major falls causing injury happening in 0.9%. Among short-stay residents, 90.4% get pneumonia shots, and 82.3% get flu vaccines, with over half, 53.9%, showing better mobility during their stay, though the pressure ulcer rate for new or worsened cases is at 3.9% and the hospital readmission rate is 21.4%. Core healthcare at the center includes emergency care, outpatient visits, rehabilitation, blood tests, and some specialized services like outdoor checkups and 24/7 special services with access to an operation theater if needed, covering a wide range of medical needs so residents and families don't have to juggle too many care providers.
Regeis Care Center tries to focus on helping residents recover and maintain their best health with personal, comprehensive care, and the team works to address a person's social, physical, and mental needs, always aiming to create tailored plans and keep communication open through the resident council, so families can expect a practical, broad approach to care delivered in a clean setting with staff who pay attention to the evolving needs of their community.
