Emerge Nursing And Rehabilitation At Glen Cove

Emerge Nursing And Rehabilitation At Glen Cove sits on Long Island's North Shore, and the layout is one level, designed to look like an intimate boutique hotel so residents feel comfortable and secure, and you'll notice the place does give off a sense of elegance and even some extravagance that tries to make every stay pleasant, whether it's for a short time or a longer recovery. The staff is a multidisciplinary team with board-certified physicians, nurses, social workers, dietitians, and therapists who cover physical, occupational, speech, and recreational therapy, and they're there around the clock. There's a 30-bed CARF-certified skilled rehabilitation unit too, and facilities stay open 24 hours, so it doesn't ever really shut its doors for residents. The rehabilitation department here puts focus on one-on-one therapy, offering physical, occupational, and speech therapy, including help for swallowing difficulties, and the therapists are certified in programs like Vital Stim and FEESST, which are meant for specific speech and swallowing problems. The post-surgical rehab and reconditioning services have been recognized by physicians and hospitals, and there's a special program called RehabFit that uses proven therapy methods, plus balance and gait analysis through the Smart Balance Master system, which is one of those things you don't find in every rehab place. Residents needing post-COVID-19 rehab can get help to regain strength and fine motor skills, and individuals living with brain injury have rehabilitation options, too. The facility allows physical therapy up to seven days a week and has separate units for short-term and sub-acute rehab. Residents and their families can use video calls like Facetime to keep in touch if they can't visit, and visiting hours run from 9:00am to 9:00pm every day, with no appointment needed. The environment is secure, and the staff works to bring comfort as well as help with recovery, and meals and guest services come with a few extras that aren't common in other Long Island facilities. It's been ranked as a Best Nursing Home and is considered one of the most advanced rehab centers on Long Island, but folks should still look carefully to see if the mix of therapy, staff, and atmosphere feels right for their needs.
