Woodcrest Rehab & Residential H C Center sits at 119-09 26th Avenue in Flushing, New York, where it provides a mix of short-term rehabilitation and long-term care for people who need extra help, with a special focus on those who are very frail, dealing with memory problems, or facing advanced illnesses, and you'll also find services for people recovering from surgery or illness before going home, since they offer both acute care and one-on-one therapy to help people get stronger, and you'll also notice that they give residential healthcare and skilled nursing care around the clock. The center sits in a renovated building that overlooks the bay, giving residents a bit of a view while they're there, and it's managed as a for-profit partnership with Jack Deutsch and Jay Taub among those in control, plus it's part of the CFW Group of health care facilities. There's space for up to 200 people, though most days they have about 194 residents. Staff provide dementia programs, therapeutic recreation, nutrition services, and a bariatric rehab program for people who need that level of care, and they also offer palliative care for people living with tough, long-term illnesses and work to keep care matched to each person's needs.
The center has a nurse staffing level of 3.24 nurse hours per resident per day, which falls below the New York state average, and nurse turnover runs high at 48.4%, more than the state's average rate. The most recent inspection came over two years ago, which is beyond the standard time frame, and inspectors listed 18 deficiencies, with at least one about infection control and others involving resident rights like keeping the place clean and home-like and making sure residents' personal money is protected, which means there were cases where some people were harmed and some others could have had problems, too. While staff get described as highly experienced and the facility itself gains marks for being welcoming and respectful, these inspection results suggest they have areas to improve, especially with infection prevention and making sure everyone's rights and safety get careful, steady attention. Woodcrest serves patients from across New York and remains a usual choice for anyone needing both short and long-term care, skilled nursing, or rehabilitation in a clinical setting, but families might want to look at the inspection results and staffing patterns to decide if the fit is right for their needs.
