    Good short-term rehab, inconsistent care

    I found the place clean, sunny, with nice community rooms and excellent PT - I was able to walk again and some nurses and front-desk staff were genuinely kind. But care was inconsistent and understaffed: slow bell responses, missed showers, lost belongings, rude or overwhelmed staff, delayed meds/IVs and ignored medical concerns that risked infection and dehydration. Activities exist but are limited, so residents can be bored. Good for short-term rehab, not something I'd trust as a final long-term option unless staffing and medical responsiveness improve.

    About Island Nursing & Rehab Center

    Island Nursing & Rehab Center sits on an 8-acre campus and has 120 beds in an 81,000 square foot building that uses a steel frame with a brick veneer, and there's an attached administrative wing, plus a state-of-the-art kitchen, a spacious dining room, a patio, a beauty parlor, and comfortable lounges for residents and families, so there's space for visits and quiet time. The center provides both short-term rehabilitation and long-term nursing care, and they take care of people needing more support after a hospital stay, an illness, or surgery, and they have all kinds of therapies like physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and they work with a team of nurses, doctors, dietitians, rehab specialists, and social workers to build care plans that suit each person, so everyone gets attention to their own needs. There are memory care programs called Enriched Pathways for folks living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and the memory care areas are secured with memory-enhancing activities to help people feel safe. The center helps with daily activities, medication, and meals, and they've got programs for palliative care, hospice, respite care, and even dialysis, and the on-site medical gas system helps with advanced care. Seniors living more independently can get support services if they want them, and the schedule is full of activities for socializing or relaxing, and there's pet visitation too. They provide home care services, adult day care programs, and even trial stays for people thinking about moving in. Island Nursing & Rehab Center has a maintenance-free, resort-style setting for seniors at different stages of independence, with programs for assisted and independent living, all run as a mission-driven, not-for-profit part of the Gurwin Healthcare System since 2020, and the staff put focus on compassionate, personalized care, helping each resident keep as much independence and dignity as possible for as long as they can.
