Services

We use an interdisciplinary approach to managing pain, always with the goal of developing a treatment plan to improve quality of life. Patients may require pharmaceuticals, or may benefit from massage therapy or mental health services or something else. Depending on the situation, a number of treatments may be considered.

Your time with your family and friends is a big part of your rehabilitation journey. Our goal is to build that time into your day whenever possible. To that end, we have developed a Family and Friends Transport Program, allowing your guests an easy way to visit. You provide us with a time and day for their visit, and we will provide you with the accommodations you need to get them here.

Your nutrition is of utmost importance to us, and we believe that the experience of dining should nourish you on every level – mind, body, and spirit. Our chefs have a genuine love for fostering a culture of community through food, and their tremendous culinary expertise will leave you feeling healthy and happy.

We can administer therapy intravenously, preventing air from diluting medication as it enters the bloodstream. It is the fastest way to deliver important pharmaceuticals to the body, and it is used for certain patients as deemed appropriate by our medical team.

We have extensive specialty services available, provided by our stellar clinical team. The services include neurology, physiatry, cardiology, pulmonology, dermatology, podiatry, orthopedics, vascular, ENT, dentistry, psychology, psychiatry, and ophthalmology.

Our physical therapists work with patients to treat injuries and chronic conditions with exercise and movement. Our goal is to restore normal functioning as soon as possible so that our patients can experience the activities they love.

Occupational therapy is a key component to a successful treatment plan. We focus on activities designed to help our patients develop skills essential not only to daily living, but to enjoying activities that are most meaningful.

Acute and chronic breathing conditions can be managed effectively by our respiratory therapists, who use respirators and medicine to ensure that our patients can breathe as effortlessly as possible.

Our team of qualified social workers help each of our patients and their families get acclimated through counseling and education. Our social workers are a wonderful resource for information and support at every stage of treatment.

We offer personalized planning and care pre- and post- surgery, which helps make the experience as easy as possible for our patients and for their families. Our meticulous attention to detail every step of the way, from pre-op education and paperwork to post-op pain management and recovery planning, allow our patients to spend their time focused on getting well while our team handles the rest.

For patients who have experienced a diminished ability to communicate due to their condition, we use a variety of exercises, audiovisual aids, and cutting-edge treatment protocols to empower our patients with speech.

Our palliative care and hospice services are for patients suffering from a variety of chronic illnesses, such as Alzheimer’s, cancer, cardiac disease, kidney failure, and Parkinson’s. Patients will discover tremendous support as part of our palliative care program. It is our promise to make our patients as comfortable as possible in an effort to relieve stress, pain, and ultimately optimize their quality of life. Shortness of breath, fatigue, depression, and loss of appetite can all be managed by our specialists, doctors, and nurses, all of whom work collaboratively to build the foundation needed by patients and their families as they face challenging medical issues and complex decisions. Our goal is to make our patients comfortable during and after treatment, promoting the strength and support they need for daily living.

We coordinate care and services with experienced hospice organizations to provide the highest quality hospice care to our patients. Skilled and sensitive hospice professionals assist patients with physical pain management and address the emotional and spiritual needs of both the patient and their family.

For patients who are recovering from a heart attack, stroke, or dealing with heart disease, high cholesterol or blood pressure, or any other cardiac-related conditions, we offer exercise therapy and patient education to prevent future cardiac issues and further illness.

If a patient has difficulty eating, food may be provided through a tube to ensure proper nourishment. Enteral Nutrition Therapy is appropriate for patients who cannot swallow due to severe medical problems.

Wounds are typically cared for with proper dressing and medication to mitigate risk of infection. We watch wounds closely and use techniques to expedite the healing process if possible.

At Upper East Side Rehabilitation and Nursing Center, we believe in the power of socialization and recreational activities as part of our efforts to restore health. Our therapeutic recreation program helps our patients work on mobility and other skills outside of their other speech, physical, or occupational therapy sessions, and it also gives them a chance to develop friendships essential to feeling joyful and self-confident.

We know that it is important to feel like you are looking your best in order to feel your best, and we will provide you with everything you need to do so. Our beauty parlor and barber shop will make you feel fresh and well-groomed during your stay with us, and you will enjoy socializing as our stylists pamper you.

Your relationship with your pet is an important one. We know that pets are family, and we feel strongly that you should be able to have time with them during your stay. We will make all accommodations we can to ensure that you get the time you need with your beloved animal.

We know that your faith can be a cornerstone for healing. Thus, we host religious services on a regular basis so that you can explore or maintain your spirituality while you are with us. Whatever your denomination may be, you will discover a wonderful community of support when you are with us.

Part of the renewal component of your stay with us is embracing opportunities to have some fun and enjoy new things. That said, you will have a variety of day excursions and entertainment options both onsite and offsite from which to choose, all designed to help you live well and laugh often while you are healing.

Our Geriatric Care Managers will offer you and your family a collaborative approach to long-term care. They will work with you, and those you love, to provide the education and resources required to help you live your best life as you age. We believe that by working as a multidisciplinary team, and communicating regularly with your family, you will enjoy the quality of life that we all want for ourselves and for those we cherish.
