Nassau Rehabilitation & Nursing Center

Nassau Rehabilitation & Nursing Center sits at One Greenwich Street in Hempstead, NY, and offers extended care as a 280-bed for-profit nursing home that's part of the Excelsior Care Group. The facility serves both short-term rehabilitation and long-term care residents, with a daily average census around 274 people, and it provides nursing home services, adult day health care, and help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, mobility, and medication management. The staff includes psychiatrists and psychoanalysts, and nurses and aides give about 3.08 hours per resident each day, which is a bit less than the state average, though nurse retention is higher here than in many other places. There's a focus on safety and supervision, with specialized areas to prevent wandering, emergency department visits, pressure ulcers, and infection control practices-there haven't been any infection control citations in the past three years. The rooms come in shared and private setups, including 2-bedroom apartments with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, air-conditioning, phones, internet, and cable. Nassau Rehabilitation & Nursing Center is clean, has a friendly, community feeling, and offers support that helps residents stay physically, emotionally, and spiritually engaged, aiming to respect dignity and encourage as much independence as possible, though the quality of life ratings stand at 2 stars and staffing gets 1 star, while safety ratings are higher, with 5 stars for resident safety, 3 stars for quality of care, and an overall CMS rating of 2 stars. Health inspections show four citations most recently, but no fines have been issued, and preventive care and quality measures get mixed ratings, but the facility maintains a tradition of compassionate care that blends experienced staff with a mission of helping residents live well, no matter what level of care they need.
